I genuinely love the last days before the New Year. I always look back and think about how it went, what happened, what interesting people I met, places I visited, women I helped, what dreams I realised, how I personally changed and how my life trans...

I cannot live a quiet life. I always have to come up with new projects and exciting dreams. I’m not interested in following routines. If I find myself slipping into complacency, I don’t like myself. The more difficult the task the more excitement an...

Two weeks ago I hugged my beloved drum and gave it to my girlfriend from our drumming group Coral Beats. She promised to take good care of it and write to me about where she played it. What happened? Bill and I decided to leave Bermuda for one year. ...

Two days ago, my husband, Bill, and I celebrated an important anniversary. Exactly seven years ago, I sailed to Bermuda on a cruise ship and met him at Dockyard by chance. I remember how it all began. It was six months earlier. My first day of work o...

Is it bad what happens to us, just bad? Two weeks ago, Bill and I attended the Bermuda International Film Festival. It is an important cultural event here, one which highlights the best in world cinema and allows us to watch rare documentary, short a...
