Marriage to Your Rapist


Days like these, I am happy to live in Jamaica even with the entire crime situation and financial crisis we experience each day. In a recent article by Yahoo News, a sixteen year old committed suicide after being forced to marry her rapist. This rapist would in turn not be prosecuted for the crime. Knowing that if I lived in Morocco my family could force me to marry the man that has taken everything I hold dear to me.

So today I am thankful that Jamaica land we love doesn’t have that law in its legislation!!!

Jamaica Public Service (JPS) taxes late fee charges!!

I am the person who always pays bills on time so for the first time I ended up paying my Jamaica Public Service bill late . To my surprise their late fee attracts GCT.

I was soooooo shock when I opened my account this morning... But is this right?

My Heartbeat

 Today marks three year since I was blessed with me son.  At times I would just sit and watch him play or simple just watching the television. Then he would  glance at me for a couple seconds with a big smile on his face as if he knew I was watching him all this time. I love hearing him singing one of his favorite songs like Baa Baa Black Sheep out of the blue as he taps his foot. The way he would run to the door and start jumping when he hears his dad opening the door. He would wake up and then put his teddy bear in his bed all wrapped up nicely and say " Teddy in bed" as he follows it with a laughter. I love him so much and cannot imagine a day without even the day when I chooses not to obey not one of my requests. Happy Birthday My Prince.... mommy loves you lots...
