Big Sis to Lil Sis

Be careful what you pick up
what traits you copy and
what habits you adopt;
It’s never easy to shed the
old self and it takes even longer
for people to accept the new self.
Be careful what you say.
Think it through a hundred times or
more if it needs to be said.
Words expose your true character
and what you say cannot be taken back.  
What you say has the power to
build up as well as tear down
another;what you say has the
power to make you unclean.

At times silence is best kept.
Exercise wisdom in all things
Wisdom comes through experiences.
No one can gain it for you
It is the good that you take from
experiences both good and bad that
is the building block of wisdom…
Not the wisdom preached by this
world, but the wisdom which comes
through knowing one’s self.

Practice self control. The small step
you take today in this direction will make
a huge impact tomorrow. Discipline is key
to growth while indiscipline leads to
stagnation.
Know that you are who you think you are
and that no one on this earth has the power
to tell you who/what you are. The moment
you agree to someone’s summation of you
is the moment YOU cease to exist.
Never allow yourself to feel comfortable
at point zero. Point zero is the lowest place;
where you have many regrets, you are angry
all the time, you can’t accomplish what you
need to and everyone is to be blamed except
YOU.
Believe that you can do anything you set
your mind to…belief fueled by fervent action
can move mountains. Never let an obstacle
get you down, keep at it until you’re there.
Patience is a key that can unlock many doors.
Finally, seek guidance in all that you
do,from the only one who knows all
that you don’t. Seek His face in everything,
keep your eyes continually on Him
and he will lead you in the way you must go
Trust in God always.

A Matter of Time

I don't think it's any coincidence that God's time  seems to be the theme for this month. There just always seems to be a time line involved in everything we want to get done. Anyway, as my birthday is fast approaching I've been spending time reflecting, going through pictures, reading my journals just really reflecting to get some perspective. What was interesting was that while going through the journal I just happened to buck up this to-do list...yea...one of those goal to-do lists  where I need to do x by y time . Funnily, the list was written back in 2006 and it had check boxes placed next to the goals. I noticed that at least 3 boxes were still not ticked at the time, while others were ticked and dated...and now for the surprise the unchecked were: 1. Become a lacto-ovo vegetarian  2. Go Natural and 3. Something else that I can't quite remember now.. . It was very funny to me, as reading it marked the 8th day since I had gone vegan with no desire for mea...

The Driveway : Another Dream

After posting the last post I made about time , I went to sleep and once again had a strange dream. I have since been contemplating what to make of this dream. I mean how and when can we really ever tell when a dream is just a dream or a vision or even worse a warning? Last night I must have had a lengthy dream but what I can remember is being at this place, I am not sure where it was, but in my mind it seemed to be at this specific house. The house where my grandmother used to live in Frankfield. It somehow seemed different though as there were scores of strange people mulling about and as the stretch of land to get down from the road to the house...the 'driveway', had steps instead of stones and seemed much longer and steeper. What is even more strange was that people drove down the steps and there were three (3) vehicles down in the yard (bear in my mind that in reality the front and side yard of that house has no space for vehicles and vehicles have never been down there as...

Taken

A blessing given, a privilege taken... What would you have grown up to be? Who can say? You never lived long enough   To swim across the river like the bigger boys,   To climb mango trees, hunt for ‘swims’,   Suck cocoa seeds all day in the summer,   Collect bird egg, go to market on your own.   You never lived to learn how to play an instrument Maybe the drums or the guitar Or maybe the piano, the trombone They can never tell the tale of how you studied hard   For the GSAT or maybe the CXC, CAPE, SAT, GRE... Or even how you never loved the books but could sing, Dance, draw, cook, paint, fix tings good. Ever describe that look on your face when You get your first job, purchase your first car,   Start your own business, experience loss, bounce back ‘Check you first catty’, marry her Gracefully receive a position of leadership Walk into your own house, hold your first child in your hands. Who, what, and how can they ever explain why y...
