#4 The Meaning Behind You Blog.


Well there are a lot of reasons I started this blog.

Firstly, I have a friend who have been doing it for some time and had encouraged me to start. She was very helpful in starting me up and for this I am very grateful. She had read some of my poetry and writings I did and told me it is a good way for people to see and appreciate my writing. This is definitely true and I am truly grateful for the people who have visited, commented and follow my blog. It really means a lot to me. Sniff sniff  :)

Secondly, I had been going through a really tough time with my son suddenly getting seizures. This completely uprooted me and I found myself consumed with endless nights of watching Dylan’s seizures and not having the power to do anything about it. Basically I felt helpless and angry. So blogging gave me the means of de-stressing and escaping from reality if just for a moment.

Finally, I love having the forum of being able to express myself. I love being able to visit other people’s blog and adding to the topic they are discussing. It makes me feel as if I am not alone in my thoughts and I am not the only person who feels the way that I do.

Blogging is fun… and I welcome anyone who is on this journey with me!

    Hello thank you for stopping by, I am returning the favor. It must be hard what you are going through with your son. But having a blog helps us cope with certain things and we get support from a lot of great people.

Family Traditions!!!!

If it is one thing I look forward to around this time is the Carreira's Christmas Tree Family Tradition! Founded by ME :) my sisters and my mom started visiting (or going house to house) homes to help decorate the Christmas Tree as well as decorate the home. When my son was not even a year old was when this tradition began... in my home in Port of Spain. Now 8 years later it has become a Family get together, food and drinks sharing .... and putting up the decorations. I LOVE it. Coming from a home with many siblings (3 brother and 3 sister ... most married with children) it is great when most gather and the house is filled with everyone. Lets just say it is a lot of laughs, bickering, laughs ... silent moments when our mouths are filled with food ... and then delegation on the work area. Did I mention I LOVE it. So here are some pics of the end result. My home is now filled with Christmas ... and I have to start wrapping present. :) This picture shows my mom, a...

Guardian Angel working Overtime!!

Saturday morning this occurred while I was on my way with the kids to my family's home in San Fernando. My car is the Blue Madza and my kids were in the back seat!! I had just stopped at a traffic light with 4 cars ahead of me, waiting for the lights to turn green, when the Green car smashed into me from behind.  All I can say is that we were all frightened by a loud bang from behind, and just as I turned my head to look at my kids in the back, I saw my car skidding on the wet road heading towards the car infront of me. There was no stopping and unfortunately my car struck the car infront of me :( From that point on there was alot of screaming from the kid behind, me trying to calm them, and me trying to get my husband on the phone. Even today I still cannot believe it happened. Clearly the woman who struck me from behind did not see me stopping along with the other cars, clearly she was distracted doing something else than focusing on the road. ...

She called her 'Gan'

My mother when she was a little girl, was dressed in a crown of flowers, a new dress and shoes and went to throw petals at the feet of her grandmother at the Santa Rosa Festival in Trinidad. You see her grandmother was a Carib Queen and every year they celebrated this Catholic festival in Arima, Trindad. I have never experienced this and though the Carib bloodline is being passed on through me, there is not much I can say about my heritage. In jest I would tell other who ask what I am mixed with, I would say "my people were here first... we did not arrive by boat... we were natives." But I really do not know what that really means. I do not know how to live off the land. In fact I kill all plants and animals that enter my home. I should put a sign ... "Enter at your own risk!" But I do want to understand this particular part of my ancestry. Although I am mixed with Chinese, Spanish, Scottish and Protégées, I have always been curious of the one culture that was h...
