Happy Independence Day to My Trinis!
Even though I’m far away, Trinidad will always be my home. And on days like today I miss the simple pleasures.

Lessons From My Father
My homegirl Renae of the ever-inspirational In Her Shoes blog put together a wonderful Father’s Day post featuring yours truly. I was asked to share the best wisdom my dad taught me over the years.
