I WATCH INSECTS GOING ABOUT THEIR DOGGED WAY, AND I WONDER:

Who are we to think the road too long, the mountains too high, the valleys too deep and fraught with potential peril.

    Then I have to remember that for many people life is like an insect trail. We are seen as small yet scary; as inconsequential yet unsettling; and to certain others we seem infinitely bothersome, though we’re doing nothing but crossing their path as we go about the business of simply living our lives.

    Then such people do unto us as they would do unto insects. Think about it.

Come Good

Welcome to my land of colour and colourful people

THERE ARE PEOPLE who still hail me, "Bitch's Brew!"

You would think I'd want to smack them. But it's complimentary, really; because they're telling me they remember me, they remember my column, I am still in their thoughts even after such a long time gone.

My first column was actually  Surfacing. Then came Bitch's Brew, later adapted to The Brew. In between there were Sex and the Trini and Come Good (both sex-sex -- as opposed to sex-gender -- columns).

My topics? My world. My nation. My people. Ethnicity, relationship, education, death, creativity, entertainment, culture, ambition, sex, love and rock and roll. Essentially: everything. I mean, what's not worth writing about to someone who is passionate about stories, about living, about her fellow human?

With Trinbago Come Good, the first blog I ever created, I'm telling as much of the world that opts to listen about how true Trini passionaTTe I am about all things quinTessenTially Trinidad and Tobago. 

I love my country. I know my country. It isn't beautiful all the time, but it is mine, no matter what. I want people all over the world, Trinbagonians included (and we are all over the world) to love my country, to know my country now, even when it is not beautiful all the time.

  MY  MISSION  

I will share all I can, holding on to the hope that this will touch the change-agent residing in every soul and make people, especially my Trini people, want to do better, be more, grow great.
