Who Am I?

Who am I? I am a spiritual being having a human experience.

Character wise I’m content, goal oriented, spontaneous, never accepting of no, persistent, passionate, demanding when I need to be, with a clear vision of where I want to go and what I want to do in life.  I am optimistic with a desire to inspire; I live in the moment, love to travel. I live a life committed to serving others. I aspire to become an instrument of peace, love and happiness.

I must add my high on life is often perceived by others as me being “crazy” Ironically my nickname at school was ‘looney’.  Once running for sports, I was very sure that I was winning the race; I was in search of the finish line only to realize that I was running in the wrong direction.

I over react at times, well a lot, whether its trying to pull my daughters tonsils out because I think she’s choking, or running a mile to fetch my father when my sister broke her nose, only to realize that I’m not wearing shoes and I had long passed the bus stop. My life has been filled with intriguing excitement.

I grew up in a “middle class” home; my childhood was filled with an abundance of love, support, guidance and discipline.  This built strong foundations that kept me grounded throughout this journey in life. It influenced the decisions I had to make, it clouded the distortions that life made of things, and produced for me an optimistic approach to everything that I experienced.

With a life centered on church, I developed a constant dulcet mantra, “thank you father for all my blessings.” This act made me immensely grateful for the simpler things in life. This fostered the desire to do great things, to make a difference in the relationships I share and in my community.

I graduated from Barbados Community College with an Associates Degree in Pharmacy in 1999. I managed a pharmacy in Barbados. I also worked part time to make extra money so I can accomplish the long term goals I had envisioned.

Shortly after, my values were being compromised; my employer demanded that I sell prescription drugs without prescriptions. I made a decision and I departed. I decided, my values were far more important than money.

In just the right time, the director of the Barbados Drug Service offered me a night job at Sir Winston Scott Poly Clinic. I was only months out of school but the burdens of running two businesses were never up front and center, as was, passion and that burning desire to make a difference in the lives of the people I meet.

My friends all asked “are you crazy, why work two full time jobs!” The truth was, I had a plan, I had a vision.

The financial rewards of having two well paying full time jobs out of school were great. At 22 years old, my vision manifested, my goal was accomplished! I opened my own Pharmacy in Arnos Vale, St. Vincent & the Grenadines

Over the years I molded my being into a life to be modeled. I took on every disappointment as a challenge to become a better me. I buried myself in the unknown. I tore apart each aspect of my life and I rebuilt it. I became intimate; I truly understood the roles each played in direct proportions to the quality of life I wanted to achieve.

Putting myself first I trading unhealthy lifestyle practices for healthy lifestyle modifications, I lost 40 pounds and kept it off. I envisioned a marriage I desired and I achieved it.

I filled that urge to merge with the spirit and it brought to me all I yearned for in life, like peace love and abundance. This abundance mindset remains the debate between my husband and I, I tell him I am successful and he tells me “show me the money!”

With a renewed outlook on life I developed the desire to share my life experiences to those in search of more fulfillment and guidance. I commit to learning more about life, pledging to work on my weaknesses in search of the best I can be.

I am continually learning ways to teach others my prescription for life, let go, choose happiness over being right, become grateful, be optimistic. Become that peace or happiness if that is what you desire.  Live a life by design, be the best you can be and live your best life now!
