T'was the Night of Halloween

T’was the night of Halloween and all through the street, Ghouls and goblins were steering, frightening all they meet. Spider webs were hung above every door, Pumpkin heads were carved, the scariest you ever saw. The children were dressed in their favorite costume, Behaving their best, at least their parents assume. All through he night they are seen running about. “Please give me Candy!” they eagerly shout out. “Trick or treat” is what you constantly here, From a distance they can be heard, and then they are near. Knocking at your door they excitedly await to see, Exactly how many candies they get… maybe more than three. The moon shines bright and ghost hover around, Beetles and spiders are seen crawling in the ground. A scary scarecrow lurks at every path, If you are not careful, they might sneaky a stinky fart. Trough the haunted house the kids eagerly enter, They do not know what is in store as they reach to the centre. F...

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...

Hate is a strong word.

When you live on a small island like I do in Trinidad, you really do not want to be too outspoken about terrible things happening to someone you know, because it is almost as if you are talking about it happening in your own backyard. But the fact is, terrible things do happen and unfortunately it sometimes happen to people you know or people who you cannot ignore. In the last month there was a unforgettable incident of a little girl being attacked and physically taken advantage of ... and this rocked out entire community. Mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, granddaughters and friends were really disturbed about the attack... because you do feel as if it has happened in your back yard! For a few weeks no one felt safe in their own homes and everyone was whispering about the ever changing rumors of the whereabouts of a man, who manage to physically hurt 1 and mentally hurt 100s. In my heart I do feel sorry for the young girl and pray that through God, family and friends she can be a...

Mindful Monday

I saw this on Facebook this morning and it really had me thinking. I have an aunt who is really sick and what I remember of her most is her Pastelles at Christmas time. I have another aunt who is also ill and what I remember most about her is her lively spirit and creative nature. She always encouraged me to paint as a little girl. My father passed away in 2000 and what I remember most (apart from his smoking and drinking) is that he had the most beautiful red smooth skin I ever saw. And when it was kissed my the sun it looked golden. He also loved the beach and would take us there often. He was a  responsible guy who was very protective of his 4 girls. As for me, I wonder what my kids would think...  My son at this point in his life is very outspoken and says things that is really inappropriate. I am struggling on a daily bases with him to keep his room clean, take his medicine for his seizures and getting his homework done. So basically we are constantly butting hea...

Wordless Wednesday... PEACE

Peace because they all were asleep... Peace because I did not hear a sound... Peace because I had a moment for myself... Peace because I actually had some silence to think :) The Perfect Drive Home :)

Hugs and Smiles...

I would love for everyone to have a happy and hug filled week. Just remember a simple smile can be contagious and spread quickly from one person to the next. It is the perfect epidemic.
