Jamaica declares November 23rd Mary Seacole Day

Petchary's Blog

Jamaica is hurrying down towards Christmas now, it seems. Not a gallop yet – just a gentle canter. Lots of happenings and running up and down, and things seem a little brighter and more lively than last year’s season, which was fairly glum.

There is some cheerful news here, though. The Government of Jamaica has finally seen fit to officially recognize the life and legacy of Mary Seacole. Yesterday was declared Mary Seacole Day, and there was a small ceremony to celebrate near the site of the inn where she worked, Blundell Hall, an inn or boarding house where she was born, at 8 East Street. The UK has really done a great deal in her memory, including a magnificent statue at St. Thomas Hospital in London. You can read a great deal of interesting history here, from Dr. Elizabeth N. Anionwu, Professor Emeritus of Nursing at…

Beleza escondida

Vivaldi translation: Hidden beauty
“There is always a hidden beauty, behind what few can see. The essentials of life, lie beyond what human eyes can detect. “

The Infinity Game

Dubbed Emotions

To my regular readers: I know you must be wondering where my normal posts are, and I am sorry for that. The scary stories make money and I’m dirt poor so I will be doing this for a hot minute. I will eventually do more normal posts as soon as I have time, but the holidays are a very busy time for us. Thank you for your understanding. 

Has anyone ever played the Infinity Game? The one with the mirrors? Most people don’t know it’s a game, they just think it’s a cool visual effect. Maybe it’s different for me, being raised by witches. Not Halloween witches, but the ones who practice Wicca. You can Google it if you really want to learn about them, but I’m here to talk about the game.

Most people don’t understand what it’s capable of. They have no idea they’re standing at a locked…

O poder de decidir

Vivaldi translation of title: The power to decide

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Às vezes, a vida se aprenda de modo que você tem que trabalhar em prol das respostas que precisa; aliás, ela sempre nos deixa inseguros diante respostas que precisam ser semeadas no canteiro da maturidade. Sim, a vida te olha com superioridade… sempre. Talvez, seja por isso que, as nossas dúvidas, misturadas as as delícias e dissabores do dia a dia, nos ajudem a viver perdidos entre os vilarejos de nossos pensamentos.

As respostas podem estar diante de nós, ou fugindo “se escondendo atrás de nossos medos”. Elas fogem de si mesmas; elas fogem de nós,. De repente, você tem dois caminhos diante dos olhos, e não sabe qual deles tomar

Há uma carga muito grande sobre você; sobretudo, em relação ao que diz os sentimentos, os medos, culpas, insatisfação, mágoas. E o dever de expurgar tudo isso para poder seguir. A sensação que você sente diante de uma situação…

Simple

Lolsys Library

After being completely humiliated this weekend, by my Aunt going to one of those “Freedom” “Protests” and her sign being completely and utterly wrong.

Here is a list of things that are simply simple.

  • Masks are not 100% perfect. Nothing else is either, they reduce the RISKS of getting COVID, or a flu, of spreading a disease or virus. I would say all businesses have to do a risk assessment, every so often. Does it stop accidents 100%? No, but that’s why you do a risk assessment, to reduce the risk. I don’t see the “Freedom Protestors” fighting those.
  • Let’s see, Rowling has defended Depp, Manson. She’s been quiet about a pregnant women, who was sacked from her production, for being pregnant and quiet about how a previous Fantastic Beasts actor is in jail for sexually assaulting an women. If that’s how one “protects women” … better the devil you…
