WHERE CARIBBEAN WOMEN RISE, LEAD & FLOURISH
For the umpteenth time I feel like tearing my hair out. Today is one of those days filled with unnecessary nuisances. I look at my washing machine in utter frustration wondering what now…it went bonkers in the middle of the wash cycle. A COMPLETE SHUTDOWN and of course it is one of those that locks […]

How invested in this life are you?
Our level of investment is directly correlated to our commitment and our outcome. It has to be significant and substantial in order for us to achieve optimally.
Ithought about our relationships and the reason why we are so fickle sometimes. Is it possible that we are not substantially emotionally invested in them and so we call it quits the moment something goes awry. A substantial emotional investment will force us to remain committed because we cannot afford to lose what we have put in.

I always reflect on the story of Adam and Eve in the garden, just the other day my husband and I were making light of the situation and saying that Adam surely was not Jamaican because if he was, he would not have given in to the temptation of an apple. Now, if it was nice steaming Oxtail… perhaps, but definitely not an apple…
As women we are pretty much hardwired into routine and norms and how we must operate. The moment we break free of those confines it becomes hard, scary, seemingly impossible. You were made in your Father’s image. I think most of us accept how God went about creating the world because we must, because we have to, because we believe in the Bible. If we were to stop and become really honest with ourselves, we would admit to finding God’s methods rather UNCONVENTIONAL…Eve was made from a rib…Hello!!! Come on, really… And so it is (also) with our methods to becoming more. They will seem unconventional… We invite you to read this interesting writing that is sure to inspire…click below.

“So many times I have promised myself that “this time” things will be different. It is like a love-hate relationship with myself when it comes to becoming a better version of myself. The desire is evident based on the writings, the dreams, and the realistic goals I pen every so often. But, something sometimes rears

Be your number one fan, cheerleader and your own squad. – You must be able to cheer for yourself when no one else is cheering you on. One of the things I believe we battle with as women is our need for acceptance and approval especially as we grow older. It is a fact that most men age more gracefully than women and so as we get older there are certain insecurities that may resurrect themselves. At this point and even before we must fiercely approve of ourselves and accept the changes that are imminent and boldly allow them to illuminate our space. Otherwise we are in danger.
Love unconditionally but wisely – Life is what it is and there are many things that are out of our control including love. Do not let that close you in however. It is better to experience love fully while understand that at the end of the day we are all human beings who are oftentimes guided by misaligned emotions. Be wise.

Living life is a verb, not a noun. While we are unique it is not a complex theory that has to be pondered, unique is simply you finding a way to be complete without having to want what others have or do what others do.
I could go on… but I do believe that the gist has been communicated. None of us has to quit our jobs and head out on a pilgrimage in search of the elusive… all we need is right here with us in the present, in every day that we open our eyes. Stop waiting around for things to show up…it never will…go out and attack life and understand that the trajectory of your life can only be given permission by you!

… And even though you were fashioned from Adam’s rib, “he did say, bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh” and that puts you beside him (his support), and not behind him. That’s how you want to be seen.’
You understand that with 7.5 billion people in the world, one perhaps misaligned opinion is insignificant.

Naturally when one thinks about investing the men are usually looked at while women take care of the home. But with more women taking up space in boardrooms and shattering glass ceilings there has to be a shift in our thinking and how we view our responsibility to our financial well being. We must begin to take control and begin to build our wealth not only for ourselves but also for our loved ones.
Reasons why we should take control of our financial future through investing.
Because we can.
We are better savers.
We are living longer than men.
Plan our retirement – ensure that we will likely maintain your current standard of living.
Further wealth creation.
While we are good at saving that will get us nowhere if it sits idly in a commercial bank savings account earning less than 1% and pays out more in fees and taxes. An investment account and more broadly portfolio exposes us to opportunities that will yield a higher return and grow our money overtime. Statistically, we are said to be less likely to invest and I believe this is driven by…We invite you to click below to read entire post
