A Happy Old Year’s Day to you and your family. Enjoy the festivities and be safe. I wonder how the people who are out in the cold, at Time Square waiting until midnight does it? You cannot have a bag, a chair to sit on etc. There is a list of what you can and can’t do. I heard if you move from where you are standing you cannot return so I wonder about bathroom time. What do the revelers do? I never had the desire to be in that crowd. I wish them all a safe and joyous time.

A wonderful safe day to you and your family. I pray that today is a better day for you. Yesterday I saw a movie called Bushwick. It was realistic and it left me wondering if. Global unrest is happening and the media only reports on a few countries. These are some of the countries where mass protests are taking place. Algeria, Albania, Azadi, Azerbaijan, Bolivia, Chile, China, Colombia, Ecuador, Egypt, France, Gaza, Georgia, Haiti, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Lebanon, Montenegro, Moscow, Nicaragua, Papua, Philippines, Spain, Sudan, and the list goes on. This world is chaotic because of the dollar devils.

Yesterday was Christmas Day and it felt like an ordinary day. I did not feel that extra joy I usually feel at Christmas. Opening gifts, having meals, talking and laughing for a moment, but then suddenly something was amiss. It must be the conversation about the childish men running this world. Thoughts of them killed the spirit of Christmas. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas.

When you are pregnant people get overly friendly with you. They want to chat with you; asking lots of questions about your pregnancy and your life. They love to touch your belly and offer to help you. It is annoying. When I was pregnant, I was very unapproachable because I did not trust anybody I did not know. I used to blame my bad attitude on my hormones. If you are pregnant be aware of the people who suddenly want to be your friend. Many women are being killed and their baby gets stolen.

I don’t shop at Amazon because more than 10 years ago I bought something and it looked used. I returned it and I did get back my money, but it took a lot of arguing and complaining. This morning I saw on the news that some sellers on Amazon are selling garbage. I am not surprise. Have a nice day. Enjoy and be safe.

Innocent until proven guilty. A 13-year-old boy is charged with the murder of Barnard College student, Tessa Rane Majors. Although he was not the person who stabbed her, they charged him with murder. I do not know the law but right or wrong this is a heartbreaking situation. I pray that truth prevails. I know God and I know that he is in charge.

Dear God, the devil is at hand. The phones in my home and the other electronics are going nuts. An Amber Alert has been issued for Karol Sanchez who was kidnapped by two men last night. Karol Sanchez was walking with her mother in the Melrose section of the Bronx. Two men knocked her mother to the ground then grabbing her and put her in a car with two other men. This is so scary. Sarah just called me because she said all phones and electronic devices in her class went off with the alert, but she thought it was about the weather. She is doing finals so this morning when she was heading out all I told her was to pay attention to her surroundings. I pray that they find this child safe and sound.

Today I look at life and I am flabbergasted. There are some people who do outrageous things and they get away with it. But I know God and he is in charge. The old Trinbago folks used to say, “The vengeance of moko go fall on dem.” I don’t know who moko is, but I know God and he said, “Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; Their foot shall slip in due time; For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things to come hasten upon them.” Deuteronomy 32:35.

Happy Sunday to you and your family. Enjoy your day and be safe. I have to repost my opinion about what can happen to you when you litter. Picture this. One day you are walking in an area to get to another place. You are drinking a bottle of water, soda, or might be eating something. Whatever you were drinking and or eating you throw the bottle and the wrapper on the street. Someone gets killed in the area you litter. Now you are a person of interest. “Stop littering!”

On Wednesday evening eighteen-year-old Tessa Rane Majors, a student at Barnard College was stabbed to death. She was walking through Morningside Park at 116th Street and Morningside Drive when she was attacked. A couple of people are being questioned. This is a sad situation and I hope they find the right person/s who did it. It is troubling because the people who are being questioned are minors and this brings to mind the Central Park jogger situation. Dear God I pray that truth prevails.

“A Little MERCY This CHRISTMAS” We win by tenderness. We conquer by forgiveness. — Frederick William Robertson (1816 -1853) “Yes, you are upset that your child/children did something you deem unforgivable, so you decide not to give them anything. Remember that you still have a precious one in your presence many parents don’t. “On Christmas morning please give your child/Children the gift/s you have for them and make it a Merry Christmas.

Happy Sunday to you and your family. Enjoy your day and be safe. My prayer for the innocent. Ps. 64. Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint; protect my life from the threat of the enemy. Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the plots of evildoers. They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim cruel words like deadly arrows. They shoot from ambush at the innocent; they shoot suddenly, without fear. They encourage each other in evil plans, they talk about hiding their snares; they say, “Who will see it?” They plot injustice and say, “We have devised a perfect plan!” Surely the human mind and heart are cunning. But God will shoot them with his arrows; they will suddenly be struck down. He will turn their own tongues against them and bring them to ruin; all who see them will shake their heads in scorn. All people will fear; they will proclaim the works of God and ponder what he has done. The righteous will rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will glory in him! Amen.

I saw the most heart-breaking video on the news about a 16-year-old child who is in custody at the United States Border. This young boy had a fever of 103 degrees but did not see a doctor. The Boarder officials put him in a sell with a concrete bed and a foil blanket. He stood up to walk but fell to the floor. Moments later he got up and walked to the bathroom where he fell again but this time he did not get up. Another boy who is also ill got up from under his foil blanket and walked over to the bathroom where he found his comrade. My tears flow as I write this. I have children. I love children. Rest in peace precious soul. Ps. 63:11. But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. Amen.

This world is filled with wicked people and they all get away with their wickedness. There is no justice and peace for the kind-hearted. He killed Trayvon Martin and was acquitted of murder so you think he would shut his mouth and go away, but George Zimmerman is not doing that. He is suing Trayvon Martin’s parents for 100 million dollars. Imagine a man murdered your child and then he wants to be paid for it. He is like a thorn in the Martin’s hip.

When I give something or do something for someone, I don’t do it for payment unless we are doing business. I do not like reproachful people. You only have to reproach me once and that is the end of me asking you for anything or accepting anything from you. I do forgive reproachful people but I do not forget their reproachful ways. A wonderful safe Monday to you and your family.

Stop worrying about the people who don’t like you. Remember you are not going to like everybody you meet and everybody who meets you is not going to like you. Life is short so be grateful that you are seeing another day. Thanks be to God. “Your sacred space is where you can find yourself over and over again.” Joseph Campbell (1904-1987)

On Monday, November 25, 2019 a female student at Kingsborough College, Brooklyn, NY was about to use the bathroom when she felt someone behind her. A man pushed her into one of the stalls and tried to sexually assault her. She manages to get away. Kingsborough College did not inform their students about this incident. I am re-posting Sarah’s Kingsborough College bathroom story. When Sarah was leaving school on September 21, 2018, she phoned me saying, “Mom I am shaking.” I asked her what happened and she said that when her class was over, she went to use the bathroom. There were three young women in there. They left quickly and someone turned off the light. The bathroom got pitched black. She exclaimed and put on the flashlight on her phone. Wondering if anyone was still there. She got herself together and slowly walked out, shining the light around. Thank God for her cell phone. College life is not easy some people are going to hate you and you have to be ready for their attacks.

One thing that amazes me is hearing lies flow from an adult’s mouth. Today lying seems to be the acceptable thing. Many men in prominent positions tell lies and the women who are in their midst show how much they agree with a liar. Judgement day is coming. There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers. Proverbs 6:16-19.

Free; Without cost or payment, but many officials don’t know the meaning of; ‘FREE’! They say that college is free in New York. The funds are sent by NY State to the college to pay for your class course, but no funds to buy books etc. After the course is paid, the balance remaining goes to the student. In most cases the funds are not enough to pay for the class course and the student ends up with a bill. So have money to help pay for your college course and to buy your books.

The easiest word to say yet the heaviest word is, ‘Sorry’ because the meaning is profound, but in most cases, it is not said with sincerity. It is mostly said for gain. They say sorry because they want something. Mayor Bloomberg said that he is sorry to Blacks and Latino because of his legacy of, ‘Stop-and-Fisk’. Thousand of Black men and Latino men were stopped by the police for no reason. 99.9% of the time no illegal items were found on them or any of them were perpetrators of a crime. The first time Paul was stopped and frisked, he was on his way to school. He was 15 years and then on two other occasions, 16 and 18. I believe Stop-and-Frisk is meant to belittle Black and Latino men. Like I said before; most people say they are sorry because they want something.

Seamless is shameless. Yesterday Paul decided that he was going to order food from Boston Market. Although there was food in the fridge, we all decided to have something different. He placed his order through Seamless and 45 minutes later we got a phone call from a number in Chicago, Illinois. The moment I answered, the person hung up. A few minutes later when I checked the order status on the computer it said, ‘Delivered’. I called Boston Market who contacted Seamless and they said that the delivery guy rang my door bell, he also called but we did not answer so he left. This guy was dishonest, but I hope the food went to someone who needed it. Seamless said that they will give Paul 50% off his next order. They must be crazy. Last night was the first and last time we will use Seamless delivery.
Some people are provocative. Just freaking confrontational. Sometimes the only thing that stops them is a, ‘fuck that blow’. That is the blow that the victim attacks the bully with. After being bullied over and over again the victim decides to defend him/herself and they strike with all their might. It’s like they say to them self, “I know you can beat me, but Fuck that, I am going to defend myself. A fuck that blow can be deadly. Parents talk to your children about bullying. Stop them before you lose them. It’s about time the bullying stop!
Thursday, November 14, 2019
Paul and Sarah call me ‘Old fashion’. I am not upset about that because I know that there are some things I do not agree with and I am not going to do. As the old Trinbago folks used to say, “Yuh better kno’ yuh place.” They meant that you should have respect and I am respectful. Paul and Sarah think at times I go overboard. They are young and some of the things that they find are funny or not a big thing I find them just wrong so they insist I need to lighten up. But at 59, I am set in my ways and blessed.

Asthma is one of the worst illnesses anyone can have. It is scary to see how difficult it is for someone to breath while they are having an asthma attack. The sad part is that an asthma attack can kill. Paul and Sarah both had asthma. I wanted to know what was the cause so I paid attention to what they ate and I cut out the foods that triggered it. I made sure they did not walk bare footed, when they showered, they dressed in the bathroom. During the winter when they go outside, their scarf covered their nose and, in the summer, when the humidity was high, going out was limited. Parents, caregivers etc, need to pay attention to their loved one to see what causes the attack. May the LORD bless you more and more, both you and your children. May you be blessed by the LORD who made heaven and earth! Ps.115:14-15.

Yesterday I took a day off from the internet even the news. I was tired of hearing and reading about the massacre of the family who were on their way to a wedding in Mexico, about the number of planes that crashed into buildings this week, the fire that is burning down California, the man who acts as though he is a God etc. I had enough!

To many people are being battered so I have to say this again. I have no sympathy for a man or a woman who beats their wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend… significant other. One day as you raise your hand to beat him or her it will stay up. Lots of men and women would be walking around with their hand in the air.

I got a phone call from a man. He said he would like me to do a survey and he would pay me $10 for answering 6 questions. I started to laugh at his thinking that I would be excited to get $10. He continued speaking, but I hung up the phone. To send me that $10 dollars he would want my personal information.

My prayers go out to the people, the animals and the land. Dear God of I pray for deliverance for California

I will tell my 2 confidants about them just to appease the hurt then I move on to the next chapter of my life, leaving them with their thoughts about me.

The gruesome murder of Mary Turner and her baby. (May,1918 lynching) Hampton Smith a plantation owner, from Brooks County Georgia used to abuse and beat his workers. Mary Turner was once severely beaten by Smith and when her husband threatened him, local authorities sentenced Hazel Turner to time on a chain gang. Smith was shot and killed by one of his workers. A mob driven manhunt for the killer resulted in the lynching of 13 black people, including some who were in the local jail. Nineteen-year-old and eight months pregnant, Mary Turner publicly denied that her husband had anything to do with the murder of Hampton Smith. The mob was angry by her remarks so they decided to teach her a lesson. She fled, but was caught and dragged to Folsom Bridge. The mob tied her ankles, strung her upside down, doused her clothes in gasoline and set her on fire. While she was still alive, someone split open her stomach and her unborn baby slid out and fell to the ground. The mob stomped and crushed the baby to death. They then shot Mary Turner. Her bullets riddled body, along with her baby were buried a few feet away from where they were murdered.

A wonderful safe Sunday to you and your family. I do not understand men who were treated badly by their father treats their child, the same way. Are you a sadistic person? Did the hurt you felt resonated to you in a good way that you feel no qualms about transferring the hurt to your child? I don’t care if your life partner tells you to ignore the child, you can find a way to make good by that child. It is time to man up.

One day we were going out. When we got outside there was a man leaning on a pole that was holding up a sign. This man was wobbling down but he would slowly stand upright before he hit the ground. I said, “Something is wrong with that man. “That is how someone who is on heroin behaves,” Paul said. “Dear God that must be a horrible feeling because he doesn’t seem to have control of his faculties.” I said. “I heard that the only good high from heroin is the first shot so people keep taking it to get that trip,” Harold said. Although I did not know the man, just seeing him in grave difficulty had me worried about him. Drug addiction is a sad, sad affair. I pray for all the people who are trapped by drugs.

Trinbagonians many of you are giving your opinion about the pastor who had the people living under very bad conditions. Most of you don’t know what the commissioner of police was faced with when they raided the place. If you were not there, keep your opinion to yourself. Take a sip of water it will help you to shut up. Have a nice day.

Have a wonderful day. Enjoy and be safe. Remember Matthew 7:22-23. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and, in your name, perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
Thursday, October 10, 2019
My father used to tell us, ‘A priest is a man first. Do not put your trust in him’. Stop putting your trust in your pastor. Many of them are arrogant and unkind. They are also liars and thieves, yet they are allowed to minister. Many of their relatives and friends knows how unholy they are, but they keep quiet about it. It is time for people to weed out wickedness and stop praying for it to end.

Not because they are called pastor means that they are dedicated to being a person who follows the principle of God. 69 people were locked in cages at a church on the Eastern Main Road, Arouca, Trinidad and Tobago. The Commissioner of Police Garry Griffith said that the conditions were barbaric. Six people including the pastor was arrested.

I do not understand them. They hate us yet they tan, they even go under the knife to get our body shape to look like us. It would be nice if they do what they want to do to themselves and leave us to live our life, but jealousy is ah hell of ah thing. One thing I know is my place. I did not know my father’s father side of the family and I am not attempting to find out who they are. I take the movie, Get Out seriously so I stay in my lane. A wonderful safe day to you and your family.

I remember getting off on the wrong floor to my apartment. From the moment I headed in the direction where my apartment should be, I knew something was wrong so I stood up. A simple thing as the color of some of the apartment doors and the little knickknacks on them, made me realize I was on the wrong floor. That woman knew what she wanted to do, kill a black man. I honestly thought she was going to get away with murder. Thanks be to God the truth stands. Justice for the black man.

Life is short. We sometimes feel lonely and sad for no apparent reason. Try your best and think about the thing you like to do and do it. It might be just going to your favorite spot in your home. Being in that spot changes your mood. Would you believe that my favorite spot in my home, is standing by the kitchen sink washing dishes? I stand there and softly chat to the running water about what is on my mind. The stories the water would say about me would be very interesting. Have a nice day.

Chief Seattle spoke and the truth prevails.
All things share
the same breath - the beast, the tree, the man... the air shares its spirit
with all the life it supports. Chief Seattle 1786-1866
If we do not own the freshness of the
air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them? Chief Seattle 1786-1866
Humans merely
share the earth. We can only protect the land, not own it. Chief Seattle 1786-1866
Only when the last tree has died and the last
river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that
we cannot eat money. Chief Seattle 1786-1866
Will you teach your children what we have
taught our children? That the earth is our mother? What befalls the earth
befalls all the sons of the earth. This we know: the earth does not belong to
man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that
unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it.
Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. One thing we know: our god is
also your god. The earth is precious to him and to harm the earth is to heap
contempt on its creator. Chief Seattle 1786-1866

From childhood to adult I met many female nurses and yes, they did their job articulately but there was a bit of haughtiness in their attitude. A nurse is supposed to be kind, thoughtful, gentle, helpful and considerate. The female nurses I met hardly portrayed that role well. I must say all those attributes flow easily from male nurses. Ladies it is time to let haughtiness go. Now I do not mean to offend but this is my opinion.

One of my sisters said to me, “A mother is born.” I asked her what she meant by that and she said, “Look at some women taking care of children that they did not give birth too. These women make selfless sacrifices for these children. They make them skillful, knowledgeable and honest to goodness humans. Not because a woman gives birth to a child makes her a mother, so, ‘A mother is born.”

Trinbagonians I have to talk about this. Years ago, when you buy pholourie you used to get at least 10 to 12 in a bag with mango chutney. Today when you buy pholourie you get no more than 6 and the seller would ask you what kind of sauce you want. Sauce! It is time to grate some green mango and make some chutney. Stop pouring sauce on the pholourie making it soggy.

Talk to your child/children.

A wonderful safe school year to all. Remember to show your child/children all the roads, tracks etc., they can take to get to their destination and all the roads, tracks etc., they can take to get home. When you are on a journey with them, point out the road signs, land marks etc. Familiarize your child with the area. Have a nice day. Enjoy and be safe.

Happy Sunday to you and your family. Enjoy your day and be safe. Many children are killing themselves and also many of them are depressed because they are being bullied. Pay very close attention to your child/children. Anytime you see a change in their mood, something is going on. Talking to the school’s educators doesn’t help. Parents have to handle the bullies in a calm but no-nonsense way. Please be on top of things, pay very close attention and find that place where your child feels tranquil so you can talk. Let your child/children know that they are not alone. You are their lifeline.
Saturday, August 31, 2019
There are some websites with some gruesome situations. Murder, mass shooters, pedophile etc. These channels are the cesspool of the internet. Remember your child is impressionable, vulnerable, suggestible, susceptible, sensitive, gullible so make sure that they stay away from the cesspool of the internet. Talk to your children.
OUR
NATION'S DAWNING
G. Carlton Sampson
Come, come away, hail to the day, This is our land's great morning. Birds in the trees waft to the breeze, Songs of our nation's dawning. Hummingbird bright, lend your delight, Ibis your scarlet feathers; Kiskadee call, summon them all, This is a day of wonders!
Chorus: O land of fairest beauty, We pledge our lives to duty, And vow this day, and vow this day, And vow this day to serve thee.
Flambouyant gay, make glad the day, Colourful blooms resplendent. Hibiscus hedge witness our pledge, To honour this day transcendent. Fireflies bright, shine through the night: Illumine our thanksgiving. Of this great day each heart can say
This is our Nation's Dawning!
Chorus: O land of fairest beauty. We pledge our lives to duty. And vow this day, and vow this day, And vow this day to serve thee….

Chorus: O land of fairest beauty, We pledge our lives to duty, And vow this day, and vow this day, And vow this day to serve thee.
Flambouyant gay, make glad the day, Colourful blooms resplendent. Hibiscus hedge witness our pledge, To honour this day transcendent. Fireflies bright, shine through the night: Illumine our thanksgiving. Of this great day each heart can say
This is our Nation's Dawning!
Chorus: O land of fairest beauty. We pledge our lives to duty. And vow this day, and vow this day, And vow this day to serve thee….

I remember years ago once a month I used to balance my bank account, but today every day I have to check on it. Every time we take an Uber it registers on the account that the person traveled in New York or New Jersey. Few and far and in between we would be in a further State. Yesterday I saw a charge on my account for an Uber in California. From the moment I saw it I knew that my bank card was cloned. One thing I must say my bank solved the problem and my money was refunded. But I often wonder how does a thief feels after he or she pilfer? Doesn’t their conscience bother them? And life goes on. Have a wonderful safe day.

Yesterday there was a robbery in the Diamond District, New York. When they showed the video of the men committing this crime one of the damn fools stood out. This jackass had a Trinidad and Tobago bandana on his head. Boy please, I really don’t know which part of the globe your ass is from, but we Trinbagonians are not claiming you as one of us.

Enjoy your day and be safe. Why are people acting surprised that vaping is causing lung disease? I watch the amount of smoke that comes out of a person’s mouth and nose after they take a puff from an E-cigarette. Just a little fowl air messes with your lungs so I believe from the moment someone smokes an E-cigarette, their lung feels the effect and reacts, but the smoker ignores the uncomfortable feeling. Why smoke in the first place? Your lung hates it, but you keep doing it to keep the manufacturer wealthy.

A happy safe Saturday to you and your family. Enjoy your day and be safe. He is a white young man from West Virginia. One of the areas in America where white supremacy rules. He left Virginia, moved to New York and lives in the Bronx, NY among Brown people. Why? Yesterday, he placed rice cookers in different places in the Fulton Street Subway Station, NY and on the street of Chelsea. The news said that he likes to collect things like that. I am not buying that story. I believe that this young man planned to do something unholy with those rice cookers. It will be a big surprise if we get the truth about this situation. Brown people be on your Ps and Qs.

A wonderful safe Friday to you and your family. I do not like people who do something wrong to you and when you start to talk to them about it, they start to cry. Anytime the tears flow I do not tell them stop or show them that I empathized with them. They did shit to me so they need to own it so I say to them, “You go ahead and cry. I will talk to you when you finished crying.” I usually sit quietly during the tearful moment and when it stops, I continue.

And they are making American great again. Republican Senator Steve King said that humanity would not exist without rape and incest. Rape and incest are vital to maintaining the human population. He is trying to justify their culture. Having sex with their children and raping children. His ancestors did it and he is defending their lifestyle.

Women! We are our worst fucking nightmare. We hate on each other in a flash for no apparent reason. Anyway, I believe all Pedophilia… men with sexual feelings for children are protected by a woman. There is a wife, girlfriend or female associate who knows about their man tendencies to have sexual relations with children, and they do nothing about it. Some of the young ladies in Jeffery Epstein sex trafficking situation say that Ghislaine Maxwell helped groomed them for Jeffrey Epstein. She denies it but would she admit it? Like I said before there is always a woman involved!
Monday, August 12, 2019
Have a nice day. Enjoy and be safe. Since growing up in Trinbago to now, there is one kind of man I do not associate with and that is a Mauvais Langue --- mo-vay-lang man. I used to hear them lambast people. Anyway, Trump tweets --- Bill Clinton was behind Epstein’s suicide because he had past associations with Epstein. But Trump also associated with Epstein. Hysterical but serious.

Happy Sunday to you and your family. Enjoy your day and be safe. No one can control the feelings of the heart. The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? Jeremiah 17:9. Deceitfulness flows through all humans. I know what I will do and what I will not do so I pray, “Dear God you know the secrets of my heart. Cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Amen.
Saturday, August 10, 2019
Some people are just too hurtful. I refuse to associate myself with them. I cry about it and pray. I love to pray and sing hymns. My favorite hymns are the hymns my ancestors sang to appease their hurt etc. Negro Spirituals. Every time I feel the Spirit moving in my heart I pray. Yes, every time I feel the Spirit moving in my heart, I pray. Have a nice day. Enjoy and be safe.

This is America 2019 but we are right back to the 1800. This photo made me cry. I am posting it and my heart hurts for this brown man. Two white Galveston, Texas police officers; P. Brosch and A. Smith, arrested 43-year-old Donald Neely. They tied him with a rope then made him walk between them as they rode their horse. Mr. Neely was paraded through the town. In the 1800 this type of things was done to slaves. Dear God this is America being great again.
Some of the people who hate us and don’t want to be in the same room with us would kill us for our body parts. Brown people please do not lose sight of the truth. We are in their cross hairs and no video game is to blame for that. They are continuing the legacy of their ancestors. Subjugate us and kill us that is their intention. Be on your Ps and Qs.

Robert F. Kennedy’s
grand daughter died. One of the news reports said that her death had something
to do with a drug overdose. It was also stated that she suffered from depression.
I do not know what medication this young lady was on, but I remember some time
ago Paul, Sarah and I were talking about depression and a medication for it. We
were stunned by an advertisement for this medication. In the commercial it was
stated how good it was for depression but then if it caused you to have suicidal
feelings call your doctor. Imagine you already feel depress and the medication
could make you want to kill yourself. Man is killing man.

Life is scary these
days. They really hate us. Harold went to do an electrical job in the backyard
of a building. While he was working a woman opened her back window and looked
at him and said, “What are you doing trespassing on my property.”
Although
she was on the 3rd floor, he took out his ID, said his name and told her he
was an electrician, sent to do a job.
Woman: “I did not authorize
anybody to do work in my back yard. My backyard is part of my home, so you are
trespassing in my home. I am going to call the police.”
Harold: “Miss you can
do what you want.”
He dialed the building
manager and when he answered, Harold told him what was going on, so he told him
to let him speak to the lady. Harold puts the phone on speakerphone.
The building manager
told the woman that she is a tenant and not the owner, have nothing to say to Mr.
Joseph.
The woman bent her
head, closed her window and that was the end of that.

Every thing that is drastically
wrong with this world a man did it and he is not going to stop. One of his
major flaws is making the world hungry. A school district in Pennsylvania sent a letter to parents telling them that
their child would be sent to Foster Care if they did not pay their lunch
debt. I watched one of the men in charge of the School District defend this
move.

I remember looking at
the news days after the World Trade Center disaster, and seeing how The First Responders
were digging in the rubble for survivors. The area looked dusty and smoky. I
was thinking to myself that the air must be toxic because added to the dust and
smoke were decaying bodies. None of The First Responders were wearing face mask
to protect them from the toxic air. Most of the First Responders got gravely
ill. Some of them died. September 11, 2001 was the tragic day; 18 years ago,
and many unfounded excuses are being made to avoid paying 9/11 First
Responders. The owner of the World Trade Center got his money in a flash to
re-build and the World Trade Center stands. It is sad to say but, First
Responders are sick and dying. The dollar devil rule.

A happy and safe
Saturday to you and your family. One day I heard a man say that we must try to stay
focused on the happy times in our life. Today the woes of this world make me
worried and I stay focused on it paying less attention to the happy moments
that I experience daily. Yesterday in my moment of meditation I asked myself when
was I really happy, ignoring the ills of the world? I couldn’t remember so I got
up from my quiet spot then I whispered, “Today is Friday, tomorrow is Saturday
and I love Saturdays.” Every Saturday my childhood to teenage years were the
happiest times of my life. I did not care about how destructive man is and how
he is making the world hungry and he is destroying life. Today I have decided
to stay focused on my happy moments.

Last month I was ripped-off.
A man named Jack Franc from BlueCrest Press, he is the Senior Author Marketing
Consultant. He had a real good selling speech about how he was going to market
my book. I had to pay a fee and send him 20 copies of A Near Fatal Twist. I took
the chance. I paid the money and sent the 20 books. Today his phone number is
dead and he is not answering his email. This is what happens to most of us in
this business. You create the work and someone is ready to swipe it and stake a claim.
I heard that the man
who set fire to the anime studio in Japan which caused the death of 33 people, complained
that the company stole something of his.
I am not saying what
this guy did was the right thing but many people love to thief other people creation
and make money off of it ignoring the creator of the item.
A happy safe Friday to
you and your family. The weather is very hot and when I say hot, I mean extremely
hot. It is going to be in the 90s Fahrenheit but will feel like 100 Fahrenheit plus.
I am staying in and the AC is going non-stop and I hoping no blackouts. I
cannot take the heat. Hell is not a place I want to end up.

One day I had an
argument with someone and my mother called me in the house to stop me from
talking. I was more annoyed because she was stopping me. When I got in the house,
she asked me what the argument was about. After I told her she said, “You don’t
have to answer every time a jackass bray.” Every body knows that yellow is
racist so these Congresswomen need to ignore him. He is drawing them into a circle
trying to create havoc with the Democratic Party.

all to Jesus. Deliver me from all that is evil. Thank, you God. Amen.

I am not surprised
that sex trafficking is being generated by wealth. There are a considerable number
of children that are missing and the news only shows one or two missing
children daily. The man is a Billionaire so his money works for him. I heard
that his plane is called the Lolita Express where high powered rich adults get
on board and have sex in the sky with children. I cannot understand how these
people gets pleasure from the pain they inflict on a child. My heart hurts to
imagine the excruciating painful moment a child goes through during intercourse
with these child molesters. Pedophilia is a part of the dollar devil’s lifestyle.
Monday, July 8, 2019
A wonderful
safe Monday to you and your family. Yes, some people are honest to goodness people
and they need the quiet, peaceful, serene life. There are some people who are fraudulent
and want to be away from civilization to do their dirty deeds. Only the people in
that circle know who is who. Years ago when life was less complicated I would
not care, but today with all the unholy things that are happening I find that it
is creepy.

First, I must
say, “If you send me a chain letter, it is dead on arrival so if you want it to
keep going do not send it to me.” Yes, you say that you believe in God but do
you know God? If you know God you will know that he doesn’t make mistakes.
About 4 people sent me a message. This is the message in a nut shell. ‘God sent
an angel to me, but the angel turned back because it saw that I did not need
anything’. What BS. God don’t make mistakes. He knows my needs. Not because God is mentioned in these whatever
you may call them, doesn’t mean that it is talking about Our Father who art in
heaven.

Last night was
a hell of a night. My neighbors were setting off fire crackers. I was sleeping
soundly when I heard the first loud explosion.
“What was
that?” I asked Harold.
Harold: “Fire
crackers.”
Me: “What time
is it?”
Harold: “Ten
minutes after twelve and they have been at it since mid-night. The one that
woke you rocked the place.”
Me: “It really
did because all the cars’ alarms are going off.”
The fire
cracker situation went on until 3am this morning.
Enjoy the
festivities and be safe.

Lots of men

who was not successful in their exams, please remember it is not the end of the
world. Yes, mister and misses what you may call them is posting their child’s
successful acceptance into specialized schools etc., best wishes to them all. Ignore
it all and think about all that you can do to help your child. Find out what
your child is interested in doing and help him or her on their journey to
success.

At this moment
I am not sipping water not even a cup of tea because I am going to speak my
mind.
I like some
people and I don’t like some. Self-righteous people are on the top on my list.
It hurts me when I hear people say, “He too black or she too black.” You should
look at yourself first before you talk. Yes, your skin tone might be shades
lighter but take a good look at the too dark person. Their skin is evenly
toned, looking smooth and flawless. You need to stand naked in front of a mirror
and look at your skin tone. You might be same age with the too dark person but,
you look ten years older. I done say what I want to say so I going and sip a
glass of cucumber water.

I heard that

children and their parents. They are in the midst of liars and sadistic people.
Heartbreaking! I pray that the children are in the hands of a savior.

Have a nice
day. Enjoy and be safe.
My heart is heavy and I am writing about why I
feel this
way. If anyone is offended by my post feel
free to unfriend
me. I remember when I was 9 years old, a
4th standard or
grade
student, one of my sisters told me about getting my periods. I cried because I was about
to lose my childhood. One year later at age 10, I was a young lady. It was the
most nauseating time of my life. On the first day of menstruation; I used to get
very bad abdominal pains, I couldn’t eat or drink anything, I used to puke and I
had chills, but I had the comfort of a bedroom. Imagine 9 years plus young
ladies in the camps at the border, having the same nauseating pains during their
menstruation. They probably have a cot to sleep on or they sleep on ground. There
is no privacy. Humanity is dead.

This earth is
generated by Selfishness, Wickedness and Deceitfulness! And I pray.
Dear God,
Thank you for grace and peace. Thank you for mercy.
Ps. 52.
Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man?
the goodness of God endureth continually. The tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a
sharp razor, working deceitfully. Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying
rather than to speak righteousness. Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou
deceitful tongue. God shall likewise destroy thee forever, he shall take thee
away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land
of the living. The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the
abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness. But I am
like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for
ever and ever. I will praise thee forever, because thou hast done it: and I
will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints. Amen.
Saturday, June 22, 2019
The devil is
at hand. Sunday is a day that most people use as their day of meditation. A day
of quietness, reflection and to spend a closer time with God, but the devil has
chosen this day to reign; bringing disquiet to many people. Dear God I know
that you are in charge. Thanks be to God for mercy. ICE is going to go after minorities
and we have to remember that it doesn’t matter what man decides to do, God is
in charge. I pray that we all get strength and courage to face the days ahead.

The internet
is an open book! Everything you post Google and the other internet stalkers, keeps
a copy on file. So, talk to your children about their post and share because
some people love to share private moment. One thing I never liked and never did was take
nude pictures. Since I know myself, standing in front of the mirror looking at
front, backside and the cookie for my view. Any way no man ever asked me to
take a naked picture. If I was asked, my response would be, “You want to
control me. What kind of a perverted shit is that?

I grew up
drinking coffee. I love the smell and the taste. I stopped drinking it because
of the way I felt after I drink it. The coffee wasn’t making me feel sick, but
the milk and sugar was. My father always drank a cup of black coffee in the
morning and in the evening. Paul told me that he heard if you put salt in coffee
it takes away the bitterness and it taste good. I told him that must be true
because when we got the cold, my mother used to put golden ray butter (as
Trinbagonians call it; salt butter.) in black coffee. I liked how it tasted.
This mixture used to knock out the cold. Anyway, I saw a new study about
coffee. It takes away pain etc., It was hard to drink black coffee but I am
having a cup daily because it really does take away my pain.

I believe law
makers make laws to protect themselves and also to intimidate people. Imagine
you are 21 years yet you look 15, 16 or even younger, and you are called to do
jury duty. You sit in court face to face with a criminal. How uncomfortable is that?
People 25 years and older are the ones who should be called to do jury duty.

Skin
rashes: psoriasis, hives etc., Chronic dry eyes, Collagen disorders, Constipation,
Auto-immune liver damage and hepatitis, Kidney problems, Headaches, Lack of
Balance and Coordination.
Some
of these allergies happens to me when I eat wheat products. It took me a while
to stop eating wheat and also to stop having sugar.

Thanks be to God we are
seeing another day. Enjoy this day and be safe.
I want to say thanks to
my parents for nurturing me into adulthood making sure I enjoyed my childhood. My
days as a child were spent outside in the yard or roaming the neighborhood. The
adults in the neighborhood did play their part in my development. Point Fortin,
Trinidad and Tobago people were very respectable people. Tableland people were
also respectable. My summer holidays were spent in Tableland. My cousin and I, 9
and 10 years of age used to walk two miles from our grandparents’ home to my
grandfather’s garden. The road was through the forest. It was dismal but every
now and then an adult man or woman would pass us, saying hello as they walked
on. We walked as fast as we could. The only thing I used to worry about were
our folklore characters. Douen ---(The unbaptized spirit of a child.) and La
Diablesse ---(The devil’s bride) coming to attack us. Today it pains me to hear
how adults rob children of their innocence. How can anyone feel joy from inflicting
pain?
Sunday, June 2, 2019
A wonderful safe Sunday to
you and your family. I believe kindness is a natural staple in life. You either
have it in you or you don’t. Remember when you exchange goods or services you
are bartering. When you do something for someone and you expect payment you are
doing business. When you give freely without wanting payment you are extending
kindness.
Saturday, June 1, 2019
I believe and this is my opinion,
people should only eat what doesn’t make them feel sick. If you eat something,
even if it is deemed to be healthy and it makes you sick, don’t eat it again. Do
a food testing and see what make you feel good or sick. Starting eating what
your body loves. Have a nice day.
Friday, May 31, 2019
A blessed safe Friday to
you and your family. Some schools are closed for the summer holiday and many
more are going to be closed soon. Your child’s grades are going to be their stepping
stone into their future. Good or bad your child is gifted... talented. Their talent
is the thing they love and they do it effortlessly. Help your child to strengthen
their talent. Listen to your child. Before you speak, take a sip of water.
‘Even a
fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is
deemed intelligent. Proverbs 17:28.

New York is doing
something right. When the school year ends, The Department of Education is going to provide free
breakfast and lunch to children ages 18 and under. Children will not have to
register and they don’t have to show identification. The meals are free and will
be available at 1,200 sites across the 5 boroughs of NY. I am so happy to hear
this. Gone were the days when children who could not pay 75cents, were turned
away from a meal.

Me: What is the date
today?
Sister-in-law: May 25.
The day you got married 23yrs ago.
Me: Harold and I talked
when we got up and he went to do a job. I just got off the phone with him and
we talked about this and that. Oh gosh we both forgot.”
Sister-in-law: I really
don’t know what to say about the both of you. Every year is the same thing.
Me: All I can say about
that is; We are happy.”
Sister-in-law: And that
is important.
Me: Thank you.

Have a wonderful safe
day. Remember if you bring someone into your home (I mean anyone.) and their
spirit clashes with your child’s spirit, that person should not be allowed by into
your home. Children are the logos; the inevitability of divine reason and
creative order in our life. Pay attention to what your child/children tells
you.

Robert
F. Smith, a billionaire technology investor and philanthropist, told Morehouse
College graduating class of 2019 that he and his
family is making a grant to eliminate their student loans. This
payment is estimated at $40 million dollars. He also said, “Let’s
make sure every class has the same opportunity going forward, because we are
enough to take care of our own community. We are enough to ensure we have all
of the opportunities of the American dream, and we will show it to each other
through our actions and through our words and through our deeds.”

The lawmakers are making

Barry Hovis a Missouri Republican
Lawmaker who was a retired Cape Girardeau police
lieutenant said that most of the rapes
that he saw in law enforcement didn't involve gentlemen jumping out of bushes. Most
of them were date rapes or consensual rapes. When is rape consensual?’ I wonder
who educated him and all the others who differentiates rape as a casual loving
event?
