Friends of mine threw a birthday party for their daughter. She was turning 5; she’s an amazing girl, free to life with lots of energy. On the day of celebration, she was dressed in a beautiful white dress with sparkling black shoes and looked really stunning; a young beautiful Princess indeed. I knew her mom […]

Reinventions…
I can’t remember when exactly I started to realize my mom wasn’t the cutest girl but it must have been in my early teens. This was when I fell in love with curves; provocative girls from all over the world in sensual poses on glossy paper really tickled my fancy. And of course, the amazing […]

Innocence…
The other day, one of my god daughters reached out to me. We caught up on her day at school, what she had had for lunch and homework she was working on. She’s always happy, eager and excited when we get in touch and we always have a great exchange whether it’s over Face Time […]

Opposites…
In the last 4 years of my living in London and having a taxi service take me to work on random days, it’s never been with a female driver. Well, it was so a few Fridays ago and I was most amused! She was a lively lady with a bubbly personality who seemed to really […]

We are Family…
I’ve recently been spending a lot of time with my god daughters and their parents; it’s been a most interesting experience because of what I’ve noticed. One major thing is the generational flow; how the son is just like the father or in this case, the daughter is just like her mother. I observe how […]

Time Spent…
A lady cleaner at my workplace has gotten real fond of me. I see her every now and again and we always share good conversations. Of course, in this process I learn about her because she loves to talk! So she’s from Portugal, came to London as a teenager and began working immediately. She’s currently […]

The Power of Words…
I was hanging with one of my god-daughters and her friends the other day. Somewhere in the course of their playful and joyful engagement, they got into a little disagreement over something and one of them dismissively called her a cow. It was like a movie because everything immediately went quiet and we all stopped to […]

Teaching Pains…
Over the last few years, I’ve ventured into the Private Tutor space in London. I believe it’s somehow related to the fact that my Mom is a teacher and I also grew up tutoring my siblings and peers. I’m a numbers man so you can imagine I stay with Math, which I believe is the […]

Thoughts that pass away…
Last week, I got news that a former class mate and friend had passed away. This touched me deeply. Apparently she was involved in a car accident while driving to another city to visit her dad who was sick; the car was fully damaged and she died immediately. I remember her clearly- she was vibrant […]

After the Pain, comes the Pleasure…
I grew up curious and at a young age started grasping the concept of life being more than what we see and touch each day. This unique sense was an added bonus when dealing with the world as I better perceived people and events. I feel fortunate to have dated a few women over the […]

I caught the Hiccups…
The other day I caught the hiccups. Now this was a pleasant surprise as it’s been years since I recall ever catching one. It lasted for about 15 minutes en route home one afternoon. I was on the tube; the initial hiccups were unexpected and sounded pretty loud, which was a bit embarrassing. I later […]

It’s essential but not sufficient…
I have had many mentors, read books and attended seminars; yet I still haven’t overcome my issues. We have been taught a lot of tools and models to live by but at the end of the day, you’ve finally discovered this is not where life is. This is good. They are all essential but not […]
