My birth certificate says that I am Sherine Patrice, but being only a name isn’t all there is to me. A name could never be all there is to a person. Allow me then to introduce myself.

I am Sherine. I am a Christian. I am a mother. I am a woman (not a complete one some may say - which will be a blog story).   I am a trained teacher. I am a trained Social Worker and I’m currently a Masters' student. I am a Jamaican. I am a wife of some sorts (that's another blog story). I am a sister. I am a daughter. I am a niece. I am a cousin. I am a neighbour. I am a friend. I like to laugh (not getting enough of that). I like to read. I like to explain. I like to understand. I am honest. I am creative. I am friendly. I am smart. I am intelligent. I am black. I am a motivator. I am beautiful. I am inspirational. I am creative. I am adventurous. I am a great organizer. I am a team player. I am respectful. I am an ordinairey woman. 

There is much more to be than labels and descriptions. I am ready to discover more. Are you?

    Labels and descriptions of what to be and what not to be...the never ending cycle of social "roles" with regards to being a woman. I look forward to more!

    Very good start to your blog. However I would love for you to change the comment of being an ordinary woman to an extraordinary woman of God. I believe as you continue to write you will allow the Holy Spirit to help you to express yourself in God's Eyes.

Dead Lef

  My father was not a rich man by economic standards, but he was so wealthy that he was able to leave behind a legacy for thousands of people. He left me a wealth of wisdom, a wealth of knowledge and a wealth of strength. Most importantly, he left a wealthy mark on this earth. My father died 6 days shy of his 73rd birthday. His maker saw it fit to take him then. Daddy probably wouldn’t have wanted to celebrate his birthday either way as he wasn’t much of a celebratory person.  This morning, I took my car to the car wash. I expressed gratitude to the car wash operator for his support at my father’s funeral. He exclaimed, “Me nuh usually go a funeral enuh, but me did even affi get a jacket fi go a Mr. Walker funeral. Him was a great man.” As I walked away, tears welled up in my eyes. I thought to myself - my father has left behind a great legacy! I began walking away and as I stepped out on the main road, someone stopped to offer me a ride. I declined and offered that I ne...

The Day My Father Died

When I was a little girl, we had a mini concert at Sunday School. I remember Andrew D said a poem called “The Day My Father Died.” The only verse that I remember to this day is the one that says, “The day my father died, I could not cry; My mother cried, Not I.” I didn’t even know it was a poem at that time. I thought Andrew was just sharing his hatred for his father. In my childhood mind I thought Andrew was heartless and cold. How could you not cry if your father died?  But I must say, it wasn’t Andrew’s poem that took the cake that Sunday; it was the song that my brother and I sang. We sang “Metric Fever.” For those of you who are old enough to remember, some years ago Jamaica launched a campaign to go all metric The campaign included a viral song called “Metric Fever.” When my brother and I realized, having seen the reactions of our Sunday School teachers, that “Metric Fever” was not an appropriate song for Sunday School, we began deejaying “God, God, God…….” The thought of...

Who am I?

  Babynames.com says my name means sweet, pleasant and is of Persian origin. I think my name is kinda boring so I want to be more than my name. I don’t like being called Sher. I tolerate it from some people but I’m not particularly fond of it. My mother said she had a cat named Sher or knew a cat named Sher (not sure which) so that makes it even worse. But who am I? Depending on who you are, where I am and what I am doing, I wear a different hat. Each hat is me. These hats are the roles I play in this journey called life. No one hat defines me. Who I am is inconclusive even with all hats on. I am still evolving. I am still growing. I am still changing and adapting and I dare say adopting.   I wear many hats. Sometimes I wear too many (depending on how I feel) and other times not enough (based on my thoughts). I don’t like ambiguities and I hate to be misunderstood or misinterpreted. From I was about 13/14 I started writing my first novel (that sounds like I have about ...
