A GOOD TIME TO REMEMBER!

    Where did my memory go?!  I just recall that last year I received 2 awards from Albert who has a great blog How to become an Einstein? Well, it is good to remember them at a time when I need to lift my spirit. Thank you very much Albert! The awards were:

GETTING BACK ON TRACK

      There are times when you face a big challenge in life and it can certainly throw you off track. As a Freelance Writer I know what this is like as I experienced it when my twin sister died in 2008. The task now is to lift my spirit after my brother's funeral last Saturday. I will approach it with prayer, meditation, journaling, writing  reading books and of course blogging.  

       I received the beautiful journal above from my Blogger friend Maria and it will certainly come in handy.  As so many of us know, journaling helps us whether we are facing good times or bad times.  
       I strive to be positive on this blog and will definitely make every effort to do so despite my situation.  Take care and I wish you all a wonderful week.

IN DEEP REFLECTION

    Reflecting on the life of my brother Sutcliffe as we prepare for his funeral this Saturday, January 21 at the St. Mary Parish Church in Port Maria, St. Mary, Jamaica.  At different stages of his life  he was a teacher, farmer, accountant, politician and Justice of the Peace.

A BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN
         Monday, January 16, would have been another birthday here on earth for my brother Sutcliffe Arthur Haughton-James. He died on December 28, 2011 but we know he will be celebrating his birthday in heaven. My family and I have been looking at pictures of him.  Below are collages I created courtesy of http://www.picturecollagesoftware.com:

A TRUE BIRD ENTHUSIAST!  

    I just love to see anything with a bird on it and take pleasure in arranging my bird figurines in a big display unit.  This unit now has the beautiful birds above hanging from the door knobs. I would like to publicly thank my wonderful blogger friend Maria who has a great blog Every Day Is A Country Song for sending them to me. 


   The dove is a symbol of peace and oh how I need peace perfect peace. I have been through some rather challenging times but I am fighting on, praying and hoping to find peace despite the turmoil.  Below is a close-up of them hanging on the door knobs:

     

EXPERIENCING PINSPIRATION!

    I joined Pinterest some time ago and there are so many wonderful things there. This is a time when I need to lift my spirit and one way is to experience PINSPIRATION! I just love this pin as I think about my departed loved ones - my father, identical twin sister and brother.

REFLECTING AMIDST NATURE

     My family and I have lived on a farm for a very long time and some of the trees were planted by my late brother Sutcliffe.  I often take time out to reflect amidst nature.  It helps me to find some sense of peace.
