Welcoming 2015

Hello 2015... this is a year of hopeful expectations and the fulfillment of a dream I have had since I was a little girl. Considering it took alot of life experiences and soul building to get to this point, I feel as if it is almost fitting that it is happening now.

In 2 months I will be publishing my first book! It is a children's book called Dragon Boyz which was a collaboration between me and my son, but the journey I took to get here was a long and eventful one.

Now that 2015 has arrive I am filled with excitement, anticipation and hope. The next few months are going to challenge me and my ability to focus and promote a book that is not only special to me, I believe it is something every child can connect to.

So now I stand at the precipice of a life altering event and I welcome it. Most published authors have been here one time or another, and I do wish other writers to experience this, because it is a fantastic feeling. It is a validation that after all the time spent dedicated to completing the book, it is being published and available for all to read.

Chase your dreams everyone. Even if it does not fall immediately in your lap once you believe in yourself... it will come true.

I wish all a fantastic start to their new year and appreciate that you are walking with me on this new adventure.

Please share your hopes for 2015 with me. It is amazing how things happen when you put it out there.

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...

Anticipating Grenada!

As most mothers and parents secretly wish, Getting away without the kids is usually hard to accomplish. But this weekend my husband and I eagerly await, A vacation in Grenada for 2, we were able to create!!!! I cannot wait for the clear blue sea, I cannot wait for it to be just him and me. I cannot wait for the sunny sky, To just lie on the beach and watch the day go by. I wish for all to be able to see, How important it is for the adults to be free. To take some time and enjoy just being together, Making sure they remember why they chose to be ... forever. My countdown for Grenada is on.... 3 days to go!!!

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...
