Some things about me I'd like to share:
- I’m a Christ follower who is trying daily to be like Him
- My husband is great and I try to remind him of this frequently
- I am blessed with 2 awesome kiddos!
- Jamaican born and partly raised
- Places I’ve lived: Jamaica, New York, Florida, Mississippi, North Carolina, California
- Countries I’ve visited: Canada, Israel, Panama, Dominican Republic and of course Jamaica
- Countries/Continents I plan to visit: Africa, Italy, England, Netherlands, China, India, Bhutan
- I have a large family who I consider my best friends and I only have a few friends that are non-family
- I have the best family and in-laws!
- I am a pretty private person, although you would never guess since this blog IS about my personal life and experiences
- I am truly a work in progress…I evaluate my self regularly and determine ways I can improve myself. For example, I was a very unforgiving person and this was a problem, so I prayed about it and worked hard at it AND now I am much better.
- Overall, I am an optimist. I try to see the good in people and situations. I usually have a positive, upbeat attitude.
- I’m trying to enjoy life to the fullest (the good and the bad)—hence my blog title
- I love to laugh! [in general, at jokes, at myself, with people, at people (haha), for no reason]
- I am deathly afraid of frogs/toads and I want to overcome this ridiculous fear
- I’m an athlete, well at least was. I do try to stay in shape by being active and eating somewhat healthy
- Before I met my husband I was totally an indoor person, now you can’t keep me inside—I love the great outdoors!
- I have a new found interest in crafts and DIY projects.
- I’m cheerful, kind, honest, soft, caring most of the time, but occasionally my temper flares
- I really like what I do for a living—I feel it’s very rewarding and no matter how tough my day is I try to keep this in mind.
- I'm in my 30s and I embrace aging. I think it's a beautiful thing.
- I love having natural hair
- I usually stick to rules and guidelines, which is sometimes perceived as rigid and inflexible.
- I love learning about and talking to people of various cultures
- I’m a little competitive at everything. Ok, that’s a lie. I’m very competitive.
- Life is good and I am blessed and so thankful!
