A couple of years ago I closed down my blog Luv and Relationships and decided to focus on creating content I felt would be helpful to my people especially those searching for employment. I felt like it was the right thing to do and it still is (look in the right column of this blog to see the link to that blog), but I realised that I also needed to do something for me that would make me feel more happy and just be me, and talk about the things I find interesting or funny, or really pisses me off! Hopefully the posts I share here will be something you will also find uplifting or funny or maybe stir up a passion you had long forgotten to make a difference or to just be there for someone else.
I chose this title for this blog because I've been making excuses for myself. Where health is concerned, I am not where I ought to be and where finances and other issues I do need improvement. So I guess this is my place to vent and maybe find answers and share information, and receive answers as well if you are game to share with me.
This year was my 6th wedding anniversary, it was a quiet evening at home, nothing major. We spent the time talking about our plans and the way forward. We are now trying more earnestly to find ways to make our finances better and a major concern for me is my health. Healthcare is expensive here in Jamaica, so most Jamaicans would resort to buying and drinking what we call 'bush tea', which is mostly herbs and some types of mint that grow here in Jamaica. I have resorted to those too. As a matter of fact it's what I grew up on!
If you were a child that grew up in the 1960s, '70s,'80s and '90s you drank 'bush tea'. Every summer there would be something our parents and grand parents call 'herb' (allowed to steep in hot water, some people drink it with no sugar, me...I told them to make it sweeyt so my mom gave it to me with both sugar and condensed milk...some people call it cream, it tasted horrible) which would be administered after the summer holidays to induce diarrhoea, to give you "wash out". It's something we kids got to flush out our colon and the thought was to get rid of any gunk in your system and flush out any worms. It worked! It wasn't a pretty sight to see kids rushing off to tbe bathroom several times in a day but it could be hilarious. Each child in a household dreaded when it would be their time, but as long as it wasn't their turn, they made fun of their siblings. Of course the other child would have their time to laugh soon after, usually the next day.
It would be over quickly though, the symptoms only lasted for a day and then you could go back to doing what you would do regularly. The last time I took herb I may have been in my early twenties, and it did nothing for me. Lol. My system must have built up a resistence. I just had a belly ache, passed gas and that was it. No bowel movement. You know, sometimes you need something stronger.
My life hasn't been easy so far, had a lot of struggles but I am looking for something more and better, something stronger, to solve the grown folks problems I have. In the meanwhile I ask that you join me in discussing different aspects of life and maybe we can come up with solutions together. ^_^
