"My First Go at Noni juice After 20 years"


I've always heard of Noni Juice but never had any desire to try it. From a young child growing up in a home that believed in home remedies, I was exposed to Noni juice because my mother was seeking to be a distributor of it. Still, I had no desires to try it. 
Fast forward to nearly 20 years later and here I am trying this bitter fruit for the first time. The stinky fleshy fruit wasn't appealing at all. I could feel myself having a gag reflex and I haven't even tasted the fruit. I didn't necessarily have to eat the fruit but I have this thing for eating food that is not readily available in the US when I'm on vacation. 
I took my first bite as my fellow travelers looked on, and to my surprise it wasn't as bad as I imagined it to be. It wasn't that good either. The taste was sort of bitter but yet potent. I'm told the yoni juice itself would be the better choice taste wise... 
Well cheers to my first time trying a noni! Can't say I'll try it again but it was an experience.

The Island I Could Call Home

As we got closer to the island the larger it seemed to get. In reality it was only 7 miles long which is not long at all. The water seem to get clearer and change colors as we pull in to our port. The sounds of cheers from the crew members and passengers could be heard from the top deck. A large husky voice broke the cheers to let every know that we have arrived. The beauty of the island was unexplainable. Both me and my daughter were in awwww as we waited to exit onto the new land. Today is the beginning of many days of traveling out of the country with my daughter... She now has a passport and im ready to conquer the world and touch new land as often as I can with her right by my side. This is life! Living, and enjoying the world with the ones you love. ❤️

Reflections And Being Thankful

The morning air greeted me at the crack of dawn as I slowly cracked open my patio door. The coolness off the ocean gave a slight breeze that was welcoming as I found a spot to sit. Cross legged I watched the sun take its rightful place in the sky. Minutes pass and still sitting, I decided to take this moment and reflect. My reflections always put me in a thankful mood. Many people aren't as fortunate as I am to be able to travel at the drop of a dime just to "Get Away" or for "educational" purposes. To be able to expose my daughter to the things I'm exposing her to now is just the beginning. Briyanna is only three years old and seen more than some folks 50 years old have seen or done. 
Moments passed and I'm still sitting watching the sun rise higher in the sky. The view from my balcony was remarkable as I could see both the lap pool and the ocean at the same time. This is indeed the moment to be grateful and appreciative. 
Soon the sun sat perfectly in the sky, and not a bit a breeze could be felt 😂😂
It's now morning and the sun had no mercy for sun kissed skin. Back inside I go!!

Life Without Opinions

 The older I got the less I concerned myself with the opinions of others. I'm learning that life is so much better when you tuned out the irrelevant opinions, comments and beliefs of those who directly don't affect you. I'm learning to grow less dependent upon materialistic things and cling less to things that bring my spiritual life no value. I haven't made it there yet but I know I will get there one day. The beauty of living freely is a gift not many people are able to experience. If only I can make all of my friends see life for what it is. Being in tune with oneself and just your pure existence is the best feeling. I am on my way and I am enjoying every moment of this journey!!!
