“Your word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” – Psalms 119:105

Your word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. So I pray for wisdom so that I shall not seek any comfort outside of his light. For outside of the light there is darkness where fear and doubt dwell so I open my mouth and out flows the harmonies of the song I used to sing as a little girl. “This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, LET it SHINE!


Be blessed and I hope this encourages those who need a little light directed toward them to light their path! He is the answer and the ONLY way.

Job seekers keep the faith, keep putting in work because our GOD provides and it will be done, when he deems the time is right. So be patient and HURRY UP AND WAIT =)

Hello world!

I know it’s been a while since I my last post and I do apologize but this whole job searching routine is getting really intense. At this point my day is routine and I can’t help but feel like a helpless hamster on the running wheel.

My day consist of job searching, job searching and MORE JOB SEARCHING…sorry to yell but it is quite frustrating. It almost seems like if I can’t land a job soon that my only other option is to go back to school and pursue my master’s degree. That option doesn’t seem too bad but my fear lies in what if the economy doesn’t pick up and what if I spend two more years to further my education and when I finish I STILL can’t land a job. The invasion of the what if questions are slowing trying to tear me down, but I just can’t get myself to wave the white flag...besides I’m not a quitter.

 This is where the saying “life is full of risk and you shouldn’t be afraid to take them” comes into play …right?

 As I stated in a previous post I’ve joined employflorida.com, careerbuilder.com, monster.com, and the list goes on and so far no success. I even tried the old fashion way to try and apply in person but no luck with that approach.

 Is there anyone out there that could suggest that I try something different? Does anyone have a connection with any individuals that may be hiring in the media field?

To all my readers, family and friends I would love to have your support and assistance on my journey to land a great job that is enjoyable as well. My resume is available upon request. Thanks for reading and Have a blessed day!

To all the people out there job searching, don’t get discouraged as I know it can be at times, God will bless us all soon in due time.

Smile because you deserve to!

It's Carnival!!!

Trinidad Carnival 2011

Yes indeed people it’s finally March and one of the BIGGEST carnivals in the world with be taking place in Trinidad and Tobago on March 7-8^th, 2011!

Imagine extravagant costumes, enticing body swaying music, the feeling of being surrounded by love and unity and what do you get? The ultimate carnival experience and I’ve been to many of carnivals before but NEVER Trinidad and Tobago so that is definitely on the top of my to-do list for 2012!

To describe the carnival experience I would say its full of life, beautiful colored feathers on costumes, complimented by large trucks with live dj’s bumping the sounds of soca music from the huge speakers and for the drinkers plenty of rum and other alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages to keep you hydrated in the sun.

If someone ever tells you they are a soca junkie it’s a person that loves soca music which is best described as a blend of soul and calypso music that originated in the West Indies.  For the “soca junkies” Trinidad’s carnival is the next carnival they are eagerly waiting to wow the crowds and conquer before moving to the next carnival in the following months.

I must say I am pretty jealous of the individuals that are in Trinidad this very moment as I type this enjoying all the great music, the concerts, flag waving, waist winin, and let’s not forget the FOOD such as doubles "Doubles" is a common food in Trinidad and Tobago.  It is a sandwich made with two flat fried breads, called "Bara" filled with curried channa topped with a variety of spicy chutneys like mango, cucumber, coconut, and tamarind and pepper sauce if you like. It is usually eaten for breakfast, and sometimes lunch, but can be eaten as a snack after a huge fete (large elaborate party) is over!  Other foods that get me excited include bake and shark(consists of deep-fried shark stuffed in deep-fried batter, called "Bake",curry crab and dumplings and the list goes on. Are you hungry yet? I know I am lol!

For those that are unfortunate like myself and will not be in attendance you can torture yourself by looking at events streaming live on triniscene.com click on this link and enjoy http://triniscene.com/tsv7/home/?page=splash .

Last night or shall I say this morning I watched eyes wide shut and saw Machel Montano who is always bringing  the energy he also performed alongside with Patrice Roberts,  Benjai and many others. Let’s just say in my Caribbean accent “ woiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ah was bussin a hard wine in meh room!” translation basically I was enjoying myself and dancing in my room as if I were there smh lol!

But carnival is not ONLY for the masqueraders (person that participates in the parade with the costumes)  Spectators are by no means left out of when it comes to having fun they too are involved. They have a tendency to join in on the dancing, sometimes dancing with the masqueraders and waving their flags up in the air displaying their Caribbean pride.  Carnival is not only for Caribbean people it’s for people from all types of backgrounds, countries and for people of all ages to come out and enjoy!

Well for those in Trinidad for carnival be safe, enjoy and wine til you can’t wine NO MORE!

For those in the states here are some special treats that I’ve been enjoying this year for carnival season. If you are thinking about attending Trinidad for the 2012 carnival start saving now and save the dates of  Feb 20-21^st and start planning accordingly.
