I was asked a few minutes ago where does my passion come from. Where do i get the strength and drive to take on the projects i have been working on even though there is no payment expected. How do i get up each day ready to work and do so many things even when there are personal challenges. I was asked "DEE how yuh do it, because i need to try".

In my younger years i spent most of my life hiding from my purpose. It was not intentional but the situation i was in every time i tried to launch out it was pushed aside. Eventually i had to make a decision; it was either living unfulfilled or taking control of my life as an adult and going out into the world to achieve what i know i was sent here to do.

When you find your passion it drives you so much that sleep is no longer a part of the equation. I get up at 2a.m. in the mornings to write. Not because i cannot sleep but i got an idea and if i did not write it down it may slip my thoughts by daylight. I pray before bed at nights and then i ask myself "What more can i do to help others?" "What can i do to let them see that they too have a purpose, a gift and have so much power to turn our country around?" 

Our heritage is slowly dieing. Our young generation has lost respect for our elders. We have allowed this to happen. Yes, every single one of us is responsible. We did not carry on that flame that our ancestors have left us, we no longer feel that burning in our "belly bottoms" to turn things around and see what we can do to play our part. We learn to appreciate our country when we travel overseas and experience the harsh reality of working three or four jobs in freezing temperatures; we come home and at the airports we fall to our knees thanking God for Jamaica. 

Why Support local Businesses in Jamaica?
Did you know?

A large percentage of all fruits and vegetables purchased in Jamaica are imported, these include fruits and vegetables that we grow and could grow here in JAMAICA! Instead of buying produce that has traveled across the sea, why not spend your money on products that have been manufactured and grown locally. They taste fresher and the more importantly it benefits our local businesses.

THINK BIG!

When you buy and support local businesses it means your money goes directly into our country and help these businesses to grow and maintain sustainability in the market. Buying local food will also have a positive economic impact when compared to buying food that’s been imported! 
When you buy local food, you’re supporting local farmers, sustainable farming practices, while doing your part to reduce air pollution and packaging waste.

You can make a difference! 

No matter how much you already spend locally, think of more ways you can help our Local Business Owners keep their doors open. It’s easy to find the right places to spend that extra money. Let us not take our paradise for granted but in our little way find ways to support each other; buying more local produce, wearing more local brands which include jewellery, shoes and clothing. Let us support each other, Life tuff but wi no haffi play so ruff....

I am Jamaican and i am Proud to be a JAMAICAN

ARE YOU? 

much love.....
