ROOTED
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; (2 Corinthians 4:8-9) This grape tree has weathered several hurricanes, Hurricane Irma of 2017 being the last. We thought she was a goner but we decided not to discard her. […]

LIFE IS SHORT…
Good Family and Friends are a Scarce Commodity While living in the United States there were six months out of the year that I yearned to be in Anguilla. They were the cold months and although I enjoyed the experience, there were many days when I imagined myself splashing in the warm, blue-tinged, crystal clear water […]

PERFECTION IS OVER-RATED
Today I saw this tree. It’s in an idyllic location – near a huge pond with ducks swimming nearby. It was beautiful to behold, but then in my mind I said, ‘it’s short though, almost like an overgrown bonsai tree’. It looked like someone had been pruning it to that size, but I knew this was not the […]

BE THE BEST YOU THAT YOU CAN BE!
I’ve been living with myself for the past 51 years but I’ve just recently come to accept who I am. I guess after all these years, I realise that I cannot separate from myself or divorce who I am in exchange for anyone else. I am unique. I am quirky. I am talented. I am […]

ALWAYS BE ALERT
Guess who got me this morning…after four decades, give or take a few years? Yes. This guy right here. For some reason, these guys have multiplied and have inserted themselves into just about every space that you can enter in the outdoors. Usually I am aware of them because they are not […]

KITCHEN-SINK CONTEMPLATIONS 1
Train up a child…(Proverbs 22:6) I don’t know what my parents were thinking when they were raising us back in the late 60s, 70s and 80s, but I think they did a splendid job. Their day-to-day state of being impacted not only how we treated each other at home, but it also extended to how […]

PARTNERS
Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. (Ecclesiastes 4:9) Today I am grateful. Grateful that I have mobility. Grateful that my six senses are working. Grateful that I live in a beautiful corner of God’s creation called Anguilla. An uneasiness that I felt after returning from a trip […]

COVID 19 – MY FRAME OF REFERENCE
David’s Story “…And Eliab’s anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? And David said, What have I now done? Is not there a cause? And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before […]

SEASONS: WINTER VS SPRING
It was 59 degrees – a little windy and overcast but beautiful weather for a long walk. Mr Love had sent me something and I decided to walk to go get it. As usual walking gives me the kind of sensory scope that breathes life into an otherwise ordinary day. As I began to look at the […]

FRIEND OR FOE?
Once upon a time there was someone that I called my ‘best friend’, but I do not know if the feeling was mutual. Maybe in word, but judging from my experience, not heart. My wakeup call came when I found out from someone else, what was her alleged life situation at the time. It was something big. Something life-changing […]
