Golden Rule: SGRho update
At this year’s midwinter conference we had a fantastic turnout with close to 700 interested and dedicated sorors. We had an excellent guest speaker, Darieth Chisolm. (picture below, L-R, myself, Darieth, Rhonda and Maritza)
Mrs Chisolm gave a riveting talk about getting what you want out of life and loving yourself through it. After some reflections the next section was a whopper. We had a…

I can never truly express how much the Grace Kennedy Money services sponsorship helped me attain my goals. I can however give a close anecdote. As Maya Angelou said “I’ve leant that people will forget what you say, they will forget what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel.”

When international people ask about Jamaica, they…

Went to the moon and landed amongst the Stars ( Doha chronicles)
I’m here sitting on the plane coming back from Doha, Qatar, listening to the ending song ‘Shellshock’ on the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie ( good movie by the way) and I feel rejuvenated. Never before had I finished a meet and feel ready to get back in the water.
All my life I had my hope based in dreams, while my determination was in always thinking I can do more. My saving grace,…

Doha 2.5 A pool is a pool is a pool.
The teams have all arrived in Doha, Qatar and the place is filled with friendly greetings, unrequitted hope, ruthless drive and against all odds, an indisputable desire to win. A coach once told me that’s its alright to feel like a race is the most important thing in the world. He said its downright neccessary, however as soon as your hand touches that wall and you come out of the pool, there…

Pieces of a Puzzle
I didn’t realize how simple life could be until I let go of the harness. I thought I had to be in control, because let’s face it, I liked it that way, things got done. But as I matured, I started to realize that maybe it was for a different reason. It may have started out that way, but with all the obstacles in life being thrusted at me on a daily basis, controlling my environment was the only…

World cup
World cup circuit is back again. This year we started with Doha and Dubai since Worlds short course championship will be held in Doha, Qatar at the end of the year.

I was so shocked and honoured.

Choppy Waters
So expectations aside, it was not a bad meet. I got a silver and a bronze in the 50 and the 100 breaststroke respectively, new national record in the 200 ( .4 of a second off 3rd place) and JAMAICA SWIMMINGS’ first commonwealth meet record.
So if we look at it like that, then yes, it was a successful meet. (Expectations aside of course.) I could not be more grateful to have these fantastic…
