I Will Never Forget This Book...

Thank you for reading my book in a blog!

Book Review I learned a few phrases that carry me through conflict: holy resignation, firmly flexible and to leave room for people to change. The PeaceMaker by Ken Sande. I am forever changed by having read this book. With great Christian conviction, he explores the history of law, conflict, and peace. He engages in this conviction through Biblical content but does so in clear-cut ways allowing…

What I am Learning About Learning!

I am a learner. If you don’t know where that comes from, let me tell you because I am a firm believer in Gallup Cliftons’ Strengthfinders theory and practice in the workplace especially but really in all of life’s spaces! If you do not know your top 5 strengths, I highly urge you to go here (this is the free unofficial version) right now before you read any further. If your a learner like me,…

Psaghetti Dinner

Thank you for reading along! I missed a few days but get ready for blog posts to flood your space! I have several "drafts" waiting in the wings! Stay tuned!

Today on the menu is my rendition which I believe is very close to Grandpa Ranieri’s version of red sauce, or gravy as you may know it. Sunday dinners growing up almost always consisted of “psaghetti” affectionately called by my cousin Anthony because he could not get “s” to come before the “p”, which to be fair is very difficult phonetically for little people. As an adult, I understand now how…

Jalapeno Chicken Tacos

Check out my new post - anything with tacos has got to be good! I love tacos, I am on the mission to make the best taco!

SONY DSC The first time taco post was on fish tacos. Today, I paid tribute to chicken tacos with a chili chipotle marinade and jalapenos. Delish! I am not exactly good at “recipes” because I do not really follow them fully and I can not tell you exact amounts of anything I use except for water ratios to pasta and rice. While I am including the ingredients and have tried to provide approximate…

I Have SPS.

It has been my revealing and freeing to share the most recent posts. This season is different than anything I have ever experienced. Thank you for reading along and sharing in my book in a blog. Until next time, cheers!

I am a follower and leader. I will lead but I will also remain the follower. This very conundrum was, in my most humble opinion, the reason why managers or HR folks would question my ability to manage and lead. This conundrum is not because of any ambiguity and I do not even necessarily think it is lack of confidence or skill set, as some have suggested. I am madly in love with this image!…

Pain

Thank you for reading! If you haven't already please subscribe to my blog.

What to do with pain? Unfortunately, I cannot even say I was some badass green beret in the USAF. Fortunately, I cannot even say I went to war and yet unfortunately, I still managed to injure myself. Not that I take pride in being clumsy but I can remember all throughout my childhood getting hurt or causing myself some kind of pain because I was careless, impatient, or fearless, not sure which…

Unraveling my Writing: Part 2

Thank you for reading my blog. Please subscribe at www.mybookingablog.com for instant updates right to your inbox!

As I sought clarity on my next life steps, I experienced what I will call a mental breakthrough. Once I decided to revamp my blog and shift my focus to the bigger picture (writing and publishing a book), I decided that the next step in this direction would be to align my blog with my new story – what I set out to do after several life transitions. This does not mean my old story does not matter…

Motherhood & Words

Thank you for reading my blog! Please subscribe for updates right in your inbox!

Motherhood is a bit different than “being a mother.” I love being a mother. This is my one regret in life, my words and actions not lining up with my love of being a mother. Being a mother is my most prized act on this earth! It is the legacy that I leave behind. I gave birth to five humans; I hope that each will make their mark on this world but also leave a legacy to which they also can say,…

Why Jamaica?

Thank you for reading my blog! My book in a blog is sharing a legacy of love and loyalty, subscribe and follow me for updates in real time!

I know this might sound crazy, and I would like to preface what I am about to share by saying this was my first time! I saw a tarot card reader in New Hope, Pennsylvania and it was so dope! Do you ever have those moments when you feel anxious because there is a whole world out there and sitting in one spot seems like torture? This is me. And while I have found my home in Jamaica, there is still…
