Sharing my latest for Griots Republic magazine on Plant Jamaica

an you believe that five years ago I didn’t know how to plant anything?” Andrew Bruce wondered aloud as we walked on a seven-acre farm in Stony Hill, Jamaica.

Grateful

Vibrating high this Sunday morning. Yesterday, I led my first travel writing workshop. I am so full of gratitude Today, I give thanks to my grandmother, Miss Ruby who lifted me up. I stand on her shoulders. I tear up when I think about her sacrifices for my education. Actually, yesterday I full out bawled because mi miss mi Granny. I wish she was here to see this. She is forever in my heart. I am because of her. Thank you Mama!

Even though it is the day after, it is hard to put my feelings into sentences. My heart is full and my spirit is light.

It felt good up there! Thanks to all who came and shared your stories. It was good spending one on one time with you to help develop your stories. I am excited to see you published and get started on those blogs.

Give thanks to Latoya A. West-Blackwood for your help, advice and motivation and SimplyLocal.lifel for guest presenting. Big up to JoMarie for your invaluable assistance.

While I think Steve Harvey should keep his mouth shut about women; I will give him credit for this solid advice. A few months ago, I was going through something similar, looking for another job that will make me more money and I was rejected at every turn. I even flew to NY for two job interviews. Dejected, I turned to my talents in building a business that will support me and my wildest dreams. Tamara Smith Olubode Shawn Brown My time to Bloom.
