Major congratulations to my last sister for my dad!!!!

Today January 10th 2021, history was made on Antigua/Barbuda.

It was one that from the Governor General of Antigua/Barbuda Sir. Dr. Rodney Williams to the Prime Minister of Antigua/Barbuda Hon. Gaston Brown and the entire nation stand in high applaud and with pride. My last sister walked the aisle of UWI - UWI (University of the West Indies) Five Island Mona Campus on Antigua/Barbuda, she achieve her Post Graduate in Education, she is among the very first set of students to graduate from this prestigious UWI campus and to top it off- ALL WOMEN.

My tears are of three languages that I will carry to my grave but the most important thing is that daddy words though he is dead is alive. 

If daddy was alive, I telling you guys, virus or none, he will gather the entire family at large to attend the graduation and we will wait outside on the compound until the ceremony is done and for us all to take pictures, my dad would have worn his bell bottom pants with his hard shoe and a loose Miami shirt and his hair well greased and done by the barber looooooool Daddy wasn't easy cause all he knows is, he going one of his daughter's graduation and he happy and will wear what he thinks comfortable for him just as long as he is there lool.

Due to COVID, the graduation was "finger full" but aired lived on UWI TV and also on facebook. 

I so happy for my sister Lakiesha, it wasn't an easy ride for her and if anyone knew her behind the scenes during her studies, little more she would have lost it totally. One time she snapped at me sooooooooo hard that I stood on the end of the phone in shock and actually cried my eyes out unknown to her (and she did apologize to me) but I never stopped praying for her and encouraging her (not sure if she will let anyone know).

Two things under her belt- after completing her secondary school- Clare Hall Secondary School (high school) she went to the USA and studied at Monroe College and received her achieved degree of study there in what she majored in. She returned back home to Antigua/Barbuda and now graduated from UWI with her masters.

Letters behind my little sister name and more she will achieve. I celebrate her right through though we are both aware that one of our sisters hate it with a passion lol (sickening I say) BUT life is about progress cause what is achieved will certainly help the world be a better place.

( Listen I was "screen shotting" and saving back and forth on both pages for UWI loool cause I don't want to miss nada of the ceremony).

Much love to my lil last sister Lakiesha R Mack.






( I had to comment during the live on facebook!) went back to screen shot it after the ceremony was done) :-)

At the end of my reign as President of the Antigua Toastmasters Club in District 81,Caribbean Toastmasters, I lead it at the very top end of the Toastmasters Calendar year June 30 2023. The club globally ranked in the 35th position out of 14, 700 clubs globally, in the Caribbean we ranked number one (1). The team of executives which begun with seven (7) true reality was only three of us, yep you read it right, three - Myself (President), the VPE (second in command) and the Treasurer, everyone else dropped out along the way. I have been sharing my success stories how we made it through with just only the three of us not hiding because leaders within the various clubs may believe that the team comprise of the regular full number every club is to have at the very helm. One thing I always pushed from the beginning of my reign July 1 is believe in your members, don't focus on the goals and all that Toastmasters asks us to go for, none of us and neither the members joined to fulfill that

It is my 40th Birthday!

  "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him". Lamentations 3:22-23. Grateful to God Almighty. I rejoice...my testimony is so much to share. Thrown in the pit and prison by those I love and was dear to me. There were persons I really had high optimism for and with and they turned away from me without giving me the chance to voice my voice. In my reactions to the challenges in the dark days of my life, I hurt those who hurt me and those who tried to help me. Forgive myself and them was a humble pill to swallow but it has been peaceful since I did it. Blessings don't mean material things or how much "elite folks" you know. Life is not measured by those either although material things are needed to help ourselves and others (servants and service). Covid season-eating manner was the in thing like

In life we must always see things through Christ eyes-pure. " The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness, how great is that darkness". Matthew 6:22-23. Some up updates from since my last post: VICE PRESIDENT EDUCATION  at the Antigua Toastmasters Club. Toastmasters is an International leadership and communicators club, in this month of October, we are celebrating 97yrs.     Antigua Toastmasters Club Executives  My last sister for my mom got married:   and here is the make over video by  my MUA Ms. Benjamin     I am pretty as is,  make-up adds the extra touch💕   Then it's my birthday: I hosted my series "Lights. Camera. Safety" via zoom but it was of a twist from last year 2020. This year 2021,  the focus was the holistic person. Many of us forget our individual life as we pursue  our goals forgetting me- the individual. I learnt a lot and have
