Let's take a stroll down memory lane:)

Television, fashion and don't talk about the music....it was just a fab era!! In tribute, here's a flashback to one of the most memorable TV shows of that period...how many of you remember this one???!!!

Enjoy! Have a gr8 week everyone!

It doesn't really matter...

A lot of the times we wonder about this thing called human nature. What makes one person react totally different from another? What drives us? What inspires us? How come one person may take a liking to an idea, a product, a photo, a food, a person and another hate the very thought of each of those individual things? I often wonder. Sensitive maybe a tad, but I guess that's what makes me unique....and able to write this blog which in itself may not do a thing for one person yet another may be totally inspired.

I don't want to try to dissect every thought and come up with my own explanation for what I think causes all these reactions and emotions but I will say this. People need to be comfortable with who they are, their journey and individual experiences, history, connections and accomplishments at their stage of development. For that is exactly where we need to be at any given moment. That's what makes us who we are: unique and created for a purpose. God made us unique and with the ability to co-exist in spite of our differences, unique gifts and talents.

Let's try to make it work. Life is too short. Let's all try to get along. For when this world all ends, there's nothing we can do about it and we can't take any of these acquired possessions with us where we are going...and in the hereafter (if you believe in it) we are all the same. The job title won't matter, neither would the beamer or the benz or the mansion in the hills or the house with the seaside view. It's all to be enjoyed in this life and it can be taken away at any moment.

So celebrate your differences and look within and utilize your God given gifts so that when you leave this earth, you would have left behind a legacy by influencing lives for the better AND remember to Make it Count.

Hello folks...thank God for LinkedIn. After much resistance I joined the site during our Carnival time off. I must say it was one of the best things I ever did. I was able to meet new people, network, join groups and more. Via a writer's forum, I was able to learn how to publish my book to kindle on amazon...amazing!! This after searching the internet and amazon for months sporadically. I was able to successfully complete the process this morning in less than an hour. I was surprised when I got the email notification on my phone a little while ago that my book is now live!! Voila!

Ladies and gentlemen I am happy to announce that my new book THINKING OUT LOUD is now available on AMAZON'S KINDLE STORE!!! Woohoo!!

Please follow the link to purchase your own copy:

The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.

Why wear Green??! I bet you didn't know!!

 Quite interesting to note is that the official colour for St. Patrick’s Day has not always been green. Originally the St. Patrick’s Day colours were Blue!

The color green has significance importance in celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. It is said that St. Patrick’s used a three-leaved plant to explain the Holy Trinity in Christianity and the colours of the plant leaves were green. “The wearing of Green” symbolize that the person celebrating St. Patrick’s Day are a Christian and believe in the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

Sorry I've been away from my blog...been busy with all sorts of stuff.

At the moment I'm working on a project for Spanish class....procrastination I swear should be a crime! I completely forgot about this project on the weekend...I'm usually not this complacement. 

I'm also on a weight loss drive...must get back to my old self before it gets out of control. People who know me are probably wondering what weight but I know! So yesterday saw me at the gym right after errands and Spanish class. I wasn't the only one there at that hour...the gym comes alive after 7pm!!

Today I did a demo for voice-overs...*excitement* absolutely love it! Apart from writing, this is my new growing passion. Will really like to get to read for documentaries as well as some commercials.

Also looking into the possibility of turning my book THINKING OUT LOUD into an audio book eventually....so this is good thing that I stumbled upon. At the beginning of the year...I prayed that I would be led to this and less than 3 months later! Voila! It's happening:-) See folks anything is possible once you believe...think and speak it into action. I didn't even know where to begin or how it was going to happen and now I'm here. But easy does it...small steps is what I'm going to take because I have a lot going on already But it's all very exciting nevertheless...can't wait!! Can you?

Stay tuned.

It's hasta luego for now...until next time.

Morning Laugh

Good Morning!! Or afternoon depending on where in the world you are. Hope everyone had a good weekend. 

One of my friends posted this to their Facebook page and I couldn't help but laugh...it was so funny I had to put it up on bbm as well.

And we can find the moral in this story: There's always someone bigger and stronger than you...so be careful and cautious with your thoughts, tongue and actions.
