Perhaps we will see if we look for the SIGNS.
April 1, 2021 Today I am creating a better version of myself. This was the centering thought for today’s meditation. Could it be any more of a telltale sign?? Click Here to READ the Article: Under Construction – NEW PPO Click Here to Return to SYNCHRONICITY TIMELINE
March 17, 2021 Sometimes you don’t know where you’re heading until you get there. Oftentimes you don’t even know for sure what you want, let alone dare to ask. At the onset of a global pandemic, contained and unsure, we thought to DO something outside of our norm. For a little bit of…
February 19, 2021 RIP #AndreaBharrat #AshantiRiley and all the countless women and children who have been victims of violence and abuse everywhere. Last week a law was passed in my beloved home country of Trinidad & Tobago allowing the use of pepper spray to be used as a form of defense. Whoopeeee! Year…
June 8, 2020 It’s a tricky situation for everyone right now, a new territory, and both white people and black people (and all those in-between) are trying to figure it out. For the first time, thanks to technology and social media we, on a global scale, are all being forced to acknowledge inequities…
June 1, 2020 It started like any other, but today is the day my 10-year-old son learned about the big, bad world. We were on the home stretch of our weekly Fam 5k, when I had to pee. I joked to him, “Hey, Babe, I think I’m gonna need a lookout again! …
April 1, 2020 A couple of years ago, my sister NIR gave me some great advice. Speaking from personal experience, she advised that if I wanted to stay connected to my #BatchofBoys, I needed to learn to laugh with them. And, anything fart/poop/belch/barf/booger/butt-related was all I would need to hook them from ages…
March 20, 2020 The following is a summary of the video, from March 18, 2010, (2 days ago) recorded by Matteo Marchesi in Bergamo, a city in Lombardi, Italy, “the hotspot for the Coronavirus.” At the conclusion, there is a video clip taken from inside his church, lined with hundreds of coffins, waiting,…
February 9, 2020 I heard my story being told at a party last night. Amongst family, a few friends, and a backdrop of strangers in close proximity, I heard my story being told blaringly loud from a third-person narrative, for the very first time. Snapping group pics and selfies, it had started…
November 21, 2019 It might sound like I’m losing my marbles, but I decided today I’m going to post this anyway. For those of you who know me well, you know I am a self-proclaimed skeptic. And, although I try my best to respect others and keep an open mind, I have never…
November 20, 2019 I started the day in awe. “Guys, look at me!” I sang out between batches of avocado on toast, swinging my arms zealously from side to side in delight. “It was hard to turn my body just a little last week and it hurt to even reach back to wipe…
September 24, 2019 September is World Suicide Awareness Month. I know why they chose this month. It’s a time for change… new back-to-school routines, a shift in the wind, yellow-orange-red turning leaves. Yes, we all know that. But, for some of us, the truth is it’s to celebrate the fact that we made…
September 4, 2019 Spoiler Alert: There’s a really delicious and easy Banana Bread Recipe inside — Yum! 🙂 Social media and I aren’t good friends. Why? Because by the time I finally get my nerve up and have my items ready to post, they no longer feel relevant. Besides, it is always…
August 26, 2019 My sons started playing House League soccer when each turned 4. We love the game! We love it for the energy, excitement, and the passion. But, this year for the first time I got to see firsthand the other side of that raw, encompassing emotion. Physiologically, it makes sense. When…
July 26, 2019 Note: So fitting that this past Wednesday, July 24, 2019 was International Cousins Day and the day we celebrated the life of one of mine (Rest in peace, EP)❣️ It was always so much lighter and livelier and lovelier when the cousins came. However long they stayed, we knew it…
July 26, 2019 One day, a person of no relation and declining significance dared to tell me that if I ever thought to publish a cookbook of my family recipes, I would need her permission. Continuing on my then-fairly-new zen path of inner peace and gratitude, I chose the drama-free route. Little did…
June 28, 2019 Every morning, she sits in the driveway, eyes glazed, staring straight. Her head hangs, arms drapes over the wheel, body folds forward saggy and slumped. It is a while before any movement. When she does, it is one swift sweep to compose. Her face slants upward, shifting by degrees, methodically…

September 21, 2017 People think depression is sadness. People think depression is crying. People think depression is moping around and dressing in black. But people are wrong. Depression can be all of these things or none. Behind the sadness, crying, or moping, Depression is the constant feeling of being numb. Being numb to…
August 2, 2017 I was at a very low point in my life. I did not know who I was anymore. The most basic thing that rooted me and held me steady had dissolved. I had nothing. And, after the shock of rupture and my public bleeding, I felt only nothingness. I stayed…
