#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.

My Version of Fall.

I have been seeing on other blogs beautiful pictures of the ever changing and eye stimulating Fall season. Honestly living in Trinidad limits your experiences of the changing seasons and seeing how spring turns to summer to fall and then winter. All I have is endless summer greenery. All I have is the constant warm weather and lush green rain forests. So I have been living vicariously through other blog admiring the Fall pictures and sometimes questioning if it is really true. Then I had a beautiful sunny day yesterday and got to spend the day just lying on a beach and soaking in the sun. So I decided to give you all my version of Fall. And see what we get during the Fall Season. Enjoy.  I visited a beach house in Blanchisseuse Beach and it was attached to 3 different bays. It was fun just splashing in the waves, and fun exploring each bay in the warming sun. This was a bird's eye view of the bay that had clear green water and little watery caves to hide under. My son...

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!!!
