A message of hope

I came across a proverb today that says, "He who plants a tree today, plants hope". I found that it came from a poem by Lucy Larcom and I was motivated to write about hope. The proverb can be taken literally and figuratively. This is encouraging us to take action today for a brighter future. Trees take time to grow. Sometimes we have to have patience. There is another proverb that goes, "Take a step without seeing the entire staircase". Have faith and hope for the best. Have good intentions and hope for good outcomes.

Sometimes it is easy to become hopeless. To feel despair. To give up on our dreams. Don't give up. Don't lose hope. A breakthrough might be right around the corner. We have to think of things that within our control and take action accordingly and hope for the best. There is a growing body of research on the power of hope. For example, studies have shown that people who are more hopeful are more likely to achieve their goals, live longer, and be happier.

Small acts of kindness can give hope. When we give we will have the favours returned many times more. Plant seeds of love that grow into trees of hope. Trees that provide shelter from the storms of life. Love motivates us to do great things. Love gives us hope for the future. Love connects us with each other. Kind can be spelt as follows: Know that you are not alone. Intend to make a difference. Never give up on your dreams. Do something kind for someone else today.

Hope is powerful. It is the belief that things can get better, even when they seem hopeless. It is the motivation that drives us to keep going, even when things are tough. Hope is beautiful because it allows us to see the world in a new light. It helps us to focus on the positive, even when there is a lot of negative around us. Hope gives us the strength to persevere through difficult times and to keep working towards our goals.

I hope that the world unites for a better tomorrow. I hope that we help each other and move forward as one. We are stronger together. I hope that this message lights your soul with a flame of hope as it did mines. I hope that together, we can overcome challenges and create a future where love, understanding, and progress prevail. Let's carry these hopes in our hearts as we journey towards a world filled with unity and positive change. I take this message of hope and place it in a bottle and throw it into the sea of dreams.

Kickstarter for Trinidad

It is Saturday before Christmas and the beginning of the long weekend. The place where I live is extremely quiet. There are hardly any cars on the road. I ate my breakfast and I am surfing the web. Then I came across Kickstarter and I started asking questions. Mainly, can Trinidadians use Kickstarter? Are Trinidadians using Kickstarter? Do we need a Kickstarter type website for Trinidad and Tobago/Caribbean? There is fundmetnt but the idea is not the same. Kickstarter is for creatives and you are creating a tangible deliverable that is shared with backers. Also there is a vetting process. Fundmetnt is more akin to gofundme. I went to the Kickstarter website and I filtered by Trinidad and Tobago and only 17 projects were returned and many of them dated. This is not much. I contacted @kickstarter on Twitter and asked them "Hi. Can Trinidadians 🇹🇹 use Kickstarter? Will they be able to get the funds to their local bank?". I will also send an email. I will also send an email to ...

Stop and stare at the crotons

It is 147pm. I just woke up from a nap. I had Sunday lunch which was chicken soup. My mobile phone does not have much charge left. I decided to write. What can I write about? I asked my mom what to write about. She said to write about flowers plants. She wants flowers in the yard. Flowers are beautiful. Flowers are attractive. Flowers are calming. Flowers are part of God's creation. I am reminded of the saying that we should stop and smell the roses. We should appreciate the now. Learn from the past, plan for the future but live in the now. I asked my mom why she likes flowers? She says it is therapy for the mind, it helps her to elevate her spirits and it makes the place look beautiful. That is flower power I would say. My favorite plant is the croton. I love passing through the countryside, especially in Tobago, and seeing the rich croton plants. Crotons are flowers-like I would say. Let us say they are pseudo flowers plants because of the mixture of colors on the leaves that see...
