Journal Notes from Jamaica πŸ–‹οΈ's avatar

Thank you for sharing your experience...it deeply resonated with me as I am entering year 6 of living in Jamaica (I was born and raised in California...Bay Area) and I have no regrets at all about leaving. Like you mentioned, it's not always easy but I have found living abroad to be one of the most enriching and profound experiences in my life. I love what you said at the end of your piece about how you can change the world by taking care of those you love and working towards the world you want to have. Simple and profound. I subscribed to your page and would love for you to check out my newbie page as well! Big love and gratitude to you β€οΈπŸ™

Ahhhh, this makes me wanna visit you! So glad hubby's health is good! And about that uneasy feeling - I think most of us have that right now. I think it's the state of the world right now, but your friend is correct in that we need to focus on what we CAN control and take action locally. Bless you!

Mike, I’m so happy he’s cancer free. What an ordeal. What a relief.
