ABOUT ME

I am originally from the beautiful island of Jamaica – a land of rich contrast and diversity. I moved to the US with some ambivalence when I was 18 years old. My parents feared communism would take over our island and wanted their children safely out of harm’s way. I was happy with my friends and island life in general. I was open to adventure however, and content to follow my big sister to the States. Communism never did come to our country, but the dice had been rolled and I was off to join my sister at University in Florida. Once across the sea, I began to enjoy a new way of life, gradually leaving all of my misgivings behind.

For many years though, I agonised about moving back home. It took awhile, but I finally realised that I could have the best of both worlds. I loved living and earning in America and I could travel often to enjoy my Jamaican family, friends and my roots. And so it still is.

For the last 29 years, I have resided first in vibrant and exciting Tampa, Florida and now in the majestic mountains of Western North Carolina. Life for me is simple. I love being in the midst of nature, the incredible forests, the inspiring blue mountains all around. I grew up with the comforting sight of mountains always in the background and the restful view of the sea in the distance. Being close to nature is something that I still cherish. God’s instant meditation room! No matter what I am experiencing, I can count on Mother Nature to impart her soothing influence.

I enjoy feeling good and creating the most enjoyable life experience! I like to feed my positive feelings and follow the inspiration that inevitably comes to do what brings me joy.

Writing brings me tremendous pleasure. From I was a child, I loved to make up stories. Horror stories. Love stories. Stories full of intrigue and adventure. It felt like heaven to let my mind soar, imagining new and creative things. Over the past few years, I have re-discovered my joy of writing. Usually, my writings are related to personal life experience, my spiritual journey and the poetry that flows from my heart.

Friendship, family and connection are sweet blessings in my life. I enjoy meeting new people and playing with my “old” friends. If you ventured into my virtual home here, please take the time to say hello. I would love to hear from you! If you are on facebook or Twitter, please add me as a friend.

God’s sweet grace to you,

Nicola
