Our actions, no matter how small it may seem leaves a mark on our future and the futures of others around us. Therefore we must be mindful of our words, for the tongue is truly the must powerful tool we possess as human beings.  We are not tragically bond to hardships and shortcomings.

Dr. Ross says "Your job is to use the power of what happened to you to transform" After watching Dr. Ross’ presentation one of the questions all concerned, compassionate Turks Islanders should seriously be asking ourselves, our elected, civil, social, community and religious leaders is, “What real substantial changes in our society’s attitude and laws need to occur to prevent Child Abuse and Neglect that often causes young kids to mature into depressed, frustrated, angry, unp redictable, sometimes suicidal teens and adults as a result of experiencing the emotional and/or physical trauma of an abusive childhood?” Over the past few months I've observed the spike in crime within our community and though I am somewhat impressed by the recommendations that have been suggested to combat crime, I still believe "Prevention is cure". There are numerous amounts of studies that report most criminals experiencing some sort of childhood trauma that propels them to ...

How do I make progress this year ? 1. Tackling the biggest misconception about new year's resolutions(NYR) - It does not have to start at the beginning of the year. Most people begin the year believing that change must be made instantly. It does not work like that. Change just like anything in the world that is worth having, takes time. Change is like a seed, you plant it, water it and make sure it is getting exposure to sunlight. By doing those things, you have made an effort and the rest is up to the universe to decide whether you are ready for a new plant(change) in your life. The universe gives us what we are ready for and it always comes at the right time.  2. What if my NYR is finding Love ? - The seed you plant for love is a seed you plant inside of yourself. A seed of personal growth; you must become the person you want to fall in love with and that takes time. We hold on to our beliefs on how life should turn out and honestly life should not be shaped by such expec...

I found this picture above and I felt like someone was speaking directly to me. Have you ever read anything and was like "wow, this was the answer or inspiration I needed ?". Well, that's how I felt reading this picture above. When the slaves were freed in the Caribbean we were not given much and our ancestors did not have access to resources to educate themselves on how to survive without the aid of their masters. This resulted in years of financial and relationship struggles for the slaves and their descendants. From an evolutionary perspective, a female seeks a male who is capable of acquiring and maintaining resources. If a male does not have the abilities to do so he will not maintain healthy relationships with females. The reason why females do this is to ensure that their offspring can be taken care of for a long period of time. Now back to the point I was making, with no access to resources or proper education, the slaves who were freed in the Caribbean were lef...

Slave Name: Leonardo Tomiko Lightbourne Born: Turks and Caicos Plantations Site You see the picture above? That's what my ancestors looked like. Between 1662 and 1807 Britain shipped 3.1 million Africans across the Atlantic Ocean in the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Africans were forcibly brought to British owned colonies in the Caribbean and sold as slaves to work on plantations. Today, 355 years later my family and friends now occupy these islands our ancestors were once slaves in. Though many believe we are free, that is the furthest thing from true! When I was leaving to come to University in the United Kingdom my mentor told me " Don't forget where you came from". At that time I thought he meant the island I grew up in; South Caicos but now I realise it was something much deeper. It was the spirit of God speaking through him telling me to not get caught up in any propaganda that will distract me from the struggles of my people. Most Caribbean islands ...

As long as I can remember I always wanted to help people.  I never wanted to stand tall over anyone, I always wanted us to stand as equals. I saw this term "Life Coach"a few years ago and I was like this is me. I honestly don't believe I needed to train to do what I've been doing since the day I was born. I've helped 100s of people and my goal is to help millions one day. Economic conditions are changing and people need to understand that the old way of living is not going to work in this new era. We live in a time where people are more concerned about themselves and they're accomplishments and this is what is leading our generations down to a lifeless, unhappy and empty path. I've developed 7 areas to work on that if taken seriously leads you to a life of change, a life of more inner fulfilment. My career path was not a choice, I was born with it. I've tried many times to run away form it and all those times I was met with people who needed my help...

When I was a child I would face my fears every day I went to school. Going through name calling is never a good experience, it's bad press to simply put it. People only see you for what the public labels you as. Let's just say I got off to a bad start with the media industry. Most people accept the labels  they receive as children; for example 'you're rude' you're just like you father" in my country we say 'you're just like your par' lol. Statements like that resonate with some people and they subconsciously accept that this is all they are going to be for the rest of their lives. So what happened to me? Why didn't I turn out to be a homosexual? Let's just say I had a legitimate team from a child and her name was my mother. She would often tell me ' you are not what they are calling you' and she would send me to the grocery store knowing I was afraid to go down the road. Eventually, people stop calling me "Patty Little Sis...
