Reasons why you should save for the future Are you saving for the future? If so, how are you doing it? Pamela’s snippets on ‘My money counts is priceless.
Habits transform jealousy into compassion To borrow Sayanti’s words ‘Jealousy is an emotion that restricts you to accept yourself as you are and to accept others as they are. In the prison of jealousy, you will live in an oxygen-less life. Jealousy not only harms you, but also ruins your relationships. Sometimes comparison inspires us. But comparison in a relationship just ruins it.’ A sound article.
Funking for Jamaica some good ole school Jamaica funk.

The Good, The Bad and The Evil…The great book of lists.
For The Great Book Of Lists, this weeks theme is a list of people throughout history that I would like to meet *dead or alive* and without missing a beat, I know the people that I would really love to spend some time with right now.
I will concentrate on those who are no longer with us and I will start the list with the good ones.
- My dad. If I had a chance to choose a parent once again in my life, I would choose you. You are one of the most beautiful soul that I am opportune to know.
- My grandma. She loved me.
- Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis – After all, I was named after her and would have loved to meet her.
- Princess Diana – I admired her a lot.
- Mother Theresa – Her generous and gentle spirit is an example of how a person can make a difference.
- David, The King of Israel. After reading my psalms quite a bit, I have pondered often on this great soul.
- Clark Gable aka Rhett Butler of Gone with the wind. I had a girl crush on him, even though he was already gone by the time I came.
The EVIL THAT MEN DO will always follow their name long after they’ve left, and these men below were simply vile.
- Adolf Hitler
- Vlad Dracula
- Idi Amin
- Joseph Stalin
The rest of the infamous evil gang can be found through this link if you wish to read 25 Most Evil.
My sole wish is to look them in their evil eyes, give them a large piece of my mind and a nice smack on the cheek. They literally got away with murder on so many horrendous degrees!!

Under the glow of the lantern, light up my life…
‘A sliver of light can make a World of difference in the state of darkness.‘ © Jacqueline Oby-Ikocha
Today’s theme makes me thank Photo 101 for giving me the purpose to share some of the numerous collections of light pictures that I have taken.
My dear Himself has had to learn lessons in patience when we go out, because I will ooh and aah over this and that, pointing and clicking away with contentment.
Dubai is a trail blazer and a light bulb of a city. They’ve got the lights going in so many ramifications especially at those high end stores, that the twinkle of the lights beckons to us like moths and we are attracted.
It’s as if the luminescent of the bulbs whisper to you to step in and part with some money. The trick is to leave your credit cards at home and take pocket change just in case 😉
Imagine how life must have been in the dark ages before electricity 
Candles were meant only for the wealthy back then and cost a fortune. For some reason this brings a quote to my mind which says that ‘putting off someone’s candle, will not make yours to shine brighter.’
Even an ogre can look like a prince in the hazy gaze of a dim lantern, but just make sure you get a good look at him in the brightness of broad daylight 😉
Thankfully, the days of our live’s which revolves around light of the day and darkness of the night are made sweeter under the glow of a bright bulb.

Connections Do you know the breakdown of your ancestry and DNA composition? This is fascinating. I think I am undiluted African, but we never know these things. Maybe I have a British or Irish or Indian or Portuguese ancestor lurking somewhere in the mix 😉
What happens when you leave the huddle? There are tested and true ways that we can keep refueling our fire over and over again.

Let’s Get Together For Brunch…You Are Invited.
IT’S A BRUNCH PARTY! Bring some cakes, cookies, some table wine or any tasty morsel you’ve got for us and a sack of love with you.
IT’S HAPPENING THIS WEEKEND.
We look forward to having you at the party.
Regards.
Nature’s Bounty….
It’s’ my belief that most of us have the natural inclination to look up to the skies early in the mornings and throughout the duration of each given day.
Sometimes, I spend times looking at the clouds shapes and twist up silly tales depending on what the cloud represents. This we do especially when on a long drive. I ask my children to look at a could and identify an animal or any object and say something in relation to the object found.
‘Nature is bountiful in giving and when we look deeply, we have communion with it for the poetry and stories hidden in the clouds and on Earth are endless.‘ Jacqueline Oby-Ikocha
Below is a composition of some of the photos that I took at different times for today’s Photo 101 theme ‘Natural World.’ None has been edited.
Abandoned…
For two days running, I have seen this abandoned scooter and I am wondering which child left it behind. There’s a park close by.
Tongue in cheek, I dare say it belongs to a boy, from mere deductions of the Ben 10 image on it and the colour as well.
I bet he will tell his mother that he doesn’t know who took it 😉
I would have loved to be there and to see his wide-eyed innocence when he says ‘I don’t know who took it.’
So many scenarios have played in my head and I am writing a children’s story about it 🙂
Walking energizes me both physically, spiritually, mentally and so much more.

Featured Posts #20…Let me share your post links.
Ogle these one’s and please send in your post links.
Sharing is Caring!!
Today’s featured blogs are:
Tears Jamila’s poetry and posts are emotive, poignant, well-worded. A lot of times, when I read her words and they resonate with me, it makes me realize how we are really all connected.
Introducing Joel Savage a friend that I found in this space. A writer with a good number of published works under his belt. His daily posts touch those hard thought provoking issues that most people shy away from.
Not fitting in but it’s okay Blogging has introduced me to so many people who are simply wonderful and inspiring. I find such in the person of Stephanae. I admire people who turn the challenges that life throws them into inspiring beacons for others.
Brooklyn These are sights of Brooklyn that will tug your heart.
Joan’s blog is a new find for me and I am quite keen on the different servings…

Oh this is fun
And I want a bun
It’s time for lunch
Or better still let’s have a brunch
A kettle of Cardamon tea
And a slice of vanilla cake
A sip of rich coffee
And that bite of apple pie
There might be a carafe of table wine
With lots of grapes so divine
I think I spy some Easter bunnies
Please do hand me the honey
A medley of this and that
It will be a lively chat.
This is an invitation to a Pre-EASTER Brunch, taking place this weekend in this abode from Saturday 19th to Sunday 20th.
Come let’s dance into Spring with a spring in our steps.
Do keep a date and you’ll be glad you came.
I set a day reminder at the top corner of the right bar.
It will be good to have you here.
”Share as much as you…
