Fragments
Inspired by artist Hiller Goodspeed. This is a part of the internet I come to share my thoughts...
( pardon the typo's they keep me human )

it's my friend's first wellness day retreat today. I feel terrible, I can't go together, but the timing isn't right. it'll be beautiful. She just bought a property in the mountains. it's a vibe. I'll have a wellness day at home.

i don't know how i will keep up with this, it's a bit wored as i'm not always at my computer when thoughts come to me. i suppose i must keep a commonplace journal. save my thoughts and then share them here , when we meet for snapshots and stories creative friendship circle. I like the idea of less screen time + i need to get over my mobile phone addiction.

my puppies are becoming a nuisance, they ate piece of a chair, are chasing after the neighbours and overwhelm me at times. we need to house train them. this is getting tricky. did i mention, my old RAV4 broke down at Victor's supermarket yesterday - it keeps stalling.. can't afford to replace it until next year ( hopefully )

Jason spots a moon jelly drifting in rocky surf. It's huge, it could fit on his head like a hat. He says he's seen them that big twice before.

How do we spend more time offline, while building on online community? Are online communities an illusion? What happens with the power goes? or there is no internet?

My frustration isn't the mission, itself, its with the instability and loneliness of holding everything up 'alone.' We need the structure of security and dignity at FNF. I'm mindful to move forward with fairer conditions for myself. Advice to whoever wants it , ASK: will this let me work with joy and stability instead of being in survival mode?

A productive planning meeting at FNF.

It's such a wild mix of pain and joy, when you're chasing something that matters
19.10.25 | 6:17 pm AST
The best opportunities find you when you are still, no need to chase a thing.

I went to visit an elder family member in my village today ( a second, maybe third cousin - i think) we spoke about his life growing up, family, his talent for boat building and love of fishing and the sea. We laughed, and commiserated too. It was a good vibe.

If you haven't downloaded Jason's zine as yet, you should. it's precious.

I'm invested in strengthening my creative brain and it's paying small dividends.

Today, I'm aiming to complete the final report/recommendations on the technical consulting work for the Montserrat Tourism Authority. Purpose and Meaning are my focus. The world needs more people coming together to support one another, and care for nature - rather than (over) consumption.

Doodling, asking myself can I draw the things that make me smile each day.

Within two month of writing on substack a total stranger paid me, $125 for writing for the year. I am eternally grateful. it was the push I needed to not give up + the money was a lifeline at the time. To support my writing a person has to be bothered enough to pay close attention.

My new neighbors are from the USA. They sold their home after the 2024 election and bought the house across the street. They now volunteer with Fish 'N Fins Inc. They are super amazing humans and a blessing in my life.

Thinking about Christmas and what I can make for the folks I hold dear.

10 years+ as a non-profit founder of a small but mighty marine conservation org in a tiny volcanic island. I feel it in my bones . The epic effort has taken its toll. Why? Because I said, diet, healthcare, can wait until I figure out our revenue stream, improve capacity, and strengthen our team, and figure out my son's education, online schooling, and a support system.

If I could train myself to swim, I can train myself to draw, and if I can train myself to draw, I can train myself off my sugar addiction and loose 50lbs in 12 months. Let's do this!
23.10.25 | 7:22am AST
At 10 years into this non profit work, I felt I was gonna fall flat my face with exhaustion; breathless with frustration. The team told me today , well we are just getting this thing started! I need a tonic.

Please go check out Jason's zine it's cool stuff; at least I think so.

Practicing drawing and water colouring. The spotted eagle rays are easy to draw. But my lines are very messy- maybe that's just my style. Embracing it, instead of trying to fix it.

I walk barefoot everyday, at home and in my neighborhood. Nothing about grounding myself. It's just how I go about my days. Simple.

A few years ago, I took my primary school friend, Jocelyn Mercer <3 on a tour of the most mystical coastlines of our island. She captured this epic photo. It was her first revisiting the island since we were kids, before the volcano times.

Tonight, as Hurricane Melissa approaches our friend and family in Jamaica, expected
to impact the island for 2/3 days, the whole Caribbean is locked in, sending prayers
and best wishes. This is going to be scary.

Well, I just tried sketching out the concept for the Halloween zine, I want to make and it looked so terrible. It's so hard when you a vision in your head but you struggle to put it on paper.

Water babies Nibbles and Shadow are playing in the rain puddle.

Sometimes you really have to laugh at yourself.

Real story. I’ve realised that news of natural disasters triggers PTSD. I think I’ve got serious climate anxiety. I’m not anxious, worried or scared about what might be, as much as I’m triggered about what is. When a Category 5 storm hits the Caribbean, I’m glued to the news. I’m scrolling social media nonstop. I get a headache…I lose focus…then folks start recounting their stories, their experiences; near death, major losses, they start sharing the lessons they've learned, like wear shoes in case you have to run from your home, there’ll be nails and pieces of galvanized on the ground. If you live in a flood-prone area, keep a life vest with you; also consider keeping a helmet nearby. When I experienced volcanic eruptions, stones were raining from the sky. It’s wild out here, and not even the strongest will survive. This is what the front line of climate change feels like. I hope you understand.

Greet the world, and share your story.

My investment of volunteer hours and expertise is both generous and vital to our shared goals, but sustainable, impactful work also deserves fair recognition and support, including compensation.

30 day challenge - " journalling in public." It was free therapy and an invitation to create + tell your story. Thanks to everyone who followed me, subscribed and recommended my newsletter - snapshots and stories. A HUGE THANK YOU! I've got a gift for you...coming soon **
