Naming time!
This is the male lamb.
Let's hear your suggestions.

I will get a better image and we can name the female (I think it is a female) another time.

A little sunshine for someone’s day…
Gift one of my books to a friend who could use inspiration, laughter, or a spiritual nudge right now.
Stories heal. 💛 🌱

#booksky #IndieAuthor
A soft, warmly lit display featuring five books by Caribbean author Ilis Trudie Palmer Watts. The books are arranged in a wooden bowl and standing behind it. Visible titles include Chronicles of an Awakening Soul, Dancing Between Tall Grass, Let the Sun Shine on My Face, Woke to Joy, and She Sits and Shells Peas. The covers are vibrant—deep reds, blues, greens, and yellows—with illustrations of Caribbean landscapes, spiritual imagery, and women in contemplative poses. Behind the books is a colourful abstract painting with circular moon-like patterns. The overall scene feels cozy, creative, and inviting, as if encouraging someone to pick up a book that might brighten their day.

Healing is
leaning to trust what stays, release what doesn't,
and remember that everything we truly need
has been quietly growing within us all along.

It's another Easy Sunday friends. Any easy plans for today?

Me, nothing out of the usual today: cooking, resting, walking.

Gentle waves roll onto a dark sandy shore at dawn, the water catching soft light from the early morning sky.

It’s that time of year,
when darkness kisses the earth at six.
And tiny tendrils,
a few degrees cooler than the summer,
touch my heated cheeks
reminding me,
that pleasure lies just around the corner,
if only I’m brave enough
to walk toward it.

#WokeToJoy
A quiet salty pond scene at dusk. Two black ducks glide across pale, shimmering water. Soft grasses in the foreground sway gently, and dense green trees line the opposite bank under a dimming sky.

when the sacred and the sensual
stop pretending
they are strangers.

Remember some weeks ago I mentioned ‘guava cheese’, a local confection made from guava?
Well, I finally found some, and bought a packet to share.

That was me…I took a bite, just as delicious as I remember. 😋😊

When you visit us, be sure to ask for this sweet snack.

Healing begins when we believe the parts of us that quietly whisper “enough.”

is when we can be generous without unraveling,
and responsible without fear.

We had to learn this in primary school for poetry class.
Jamaica here, represents all the islands. 😄 🌱

(Check the alt, easier to read)
Nature by H.D. Carberry We have neither Summer nor Winter Neither Autumn nor Spring. We have instead the days When the gold sun shines on the lush green canefields — Magnificently, The days when the rain beats like bullets on the roofs And there is no sound but the swish of water in the gullies And trees struggling in the high Jamaica winds. Also there are the days when leaves fade from off guango trees And the reaped canefields lie bare and fallow to the sun. But best of all there are the days when the mango and the logwood blossom When bushes are full of the sound of bees and the scent of honey, When the tall grass sways and shivers to the slightest breath of air, When the buttercups have paved the earth with yellow stars And beauty comes suddenly and the rains have gone.

Today,
I choose to walk to the beat of my own congo,
Instead of moving with the masses,
Attempting to march in time to their left right,
When deep inside,
My urge is right left.

Happy Chooseday, friends.
🌱💛💚

#Chooseday
Two traditional congo drums rest on a wooden platform draped with vibrant purple and pink cloth. Lush green leaves frame the background, adding a tropical, celebratory feel to the scene.
