IMPATIENCE- Another Dream-Slayer!
You know that feeling of anticipation, worry, excitement, hesitancy, reluctance, enthusiasm, all of it rolled into a big knot that penetrates your mind and heart all at the same time.

A few years ago, God had moved me to be more proactive in sharing my faith and being a witness forContinue reading “Dust Off Those Dreams!”

Yolande has recently launched her podcast Shifting Perspectives where she enters into conversations about real world issues from a woman’s perspective, particularly Caribbean women.

I don’t know about you, but I find myself in a constant wreck as I try to cope with the daily anxiety of being a good Mama. Always wondering whether I am doing enough, too much, and if I am doing it correctly…
