Kachet's 2015 Recap

2015 is almost over, heck it is 2016 in the Eastern part of the world (well east of the Caribbean thus far). Maybe when you are reading this the whole Earth would have already started it’s new orbit and rotation.

Every year people always mention their growth, experiences and the promise to change for the better. This is all wonderful thoughts to have to begin with however I would like us all to keep in mind that every single day, every single hour and second, we should strive to be the best we can be (and might I just add, strive to accept Christ in our lives). We humans are full of sooo much potential to make this world a beautiful, wonderful and loving place and we should want to have peace, love and harmony in the home that we live.

On a more personal note, I would like to share with you all my year of 2015. Oh what a year it was! Amen! Praise God! 2015 began with a shabang!!! The first major thing to occur was controlling the tech for DMAD. Company’s #LAUGH in the Southern Academy of Performing Arts!!!! OH EM GEE!!!! I love theatre and I love technical theatre more so (insert Venn diagram here).

Can you see my excitement???!!!! I got the headset on and errthing!

I got to dress up all fancy for my work's 30 years anniversary gala event at the HYATT Regency. I felt like a princess, yes legit! I hate the process but I love the results! (who doesn't).

Belle of the ball ^_^

Of course taking part in the annual Nature Seekers Matura Beach Clean Up with my DMAD. Company so that the leatherback turtles are safe from debris to nest. Oh how I love turtles <3 align="center" beautiful="" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" creatures.="" i="" news="" omg="" on="" serene="" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;" table="" the="" too="" was=""> DMAD Company dug out a major nesting hazard!
There was also that time I acted in a UWI student film and my character murdered. May she rest in peace...dang I forgot her name, oh well. 

Thank goodness that stain came out!

That time I went to a fund raising art gala hosted by UWI's med students and my dad's wedding. Hmmmm what else...oh we reached May 2015.

Onto the beautiful mid-month of June...my birth month. Bae took me for a road trip on my birthday to the nether regions of the south land (iza north gyal). We had such an adventure, then I cam home to a surprise from my family!

Jesus is the rock on which I stand

Bae's sister got married and we were all lovely dovey and ish. 

I was a bridesmaid (me nah like pink really)

Hey! I cooked a lot this year and they tasted quite edible I must say! Weyz! What an improvement I must say. Oh btw, look out for my sister and my blog/vlog/vids coming out soon!

Wanton cups or somthing. (Not the best pic I know )

Oh I went to the Emancipation Village this year for the first time, also to the zoo (n.b. I hate zoos) with two of my childhood friends. 

Your past does not have to determine your future, take hold of your destiny. Claim it in Jesus name (never enough Jesus for me)

So much happened, I am overwhelmed already, you probably are wondering when it ends lol. Soon my love soon. Let me skip to my family reunion. Man I have a lot of family! Then recently there was Lilly Singh aka Superwoman's show here in Trinidad!!!! I freaked the eff out when I found out she was coming. I sought to buy tickets, many failed attempts until I decided to give up. Then low and behold, one of my friends asked me if I am available to come usher for her meet and greet. HELL TUH EFF YESSSSSSSS!!!! Man I buss out of work so quick eh! Went to mall, bought a pair of new black shoe that rel hurt up my feet, went home, bathed and made it early to usher for this event. And of course I met Lilly!!!! I had to contain all groupieness during work but when it ended and I finally got to take pics with her and talk to her, I became jello ughhhh I am soooo lame! I even met Humble the Poet!

Everyone says we resemble, you think?

Dear October, you took me to Tobago, my lovely island of Tobago...I miss you. Ringing in bae and my 10 year anniversary whoooaaaa!!!

Overlooking the Caribbean Sea

Almost done almost done. I was Hero in the Shakespeare play Much Ado About Nothing, directed by my beautiful friend Gabby. It was sooooo exhausting yet rewarding. My director from DMAD Company was very proud of my and he was blown away by my performance (that was one of my goals hehe). There was also bae's work Christmas function and finally, my high school 10 year reunion!!!! Oh what a year!!!

All I have to truly say is that God blessed me this year (since birth actually) and I found my way back to Him as I talked about in my previous post. Without Him I would be lost. I found my way back to some friends, I appreciate so much more from this life. I know 2016 will be a fabulous year as well however there would be challenges. What is life without them. This year the world had A LOT. But we are still persevering. Don't give up.

Have a very blessed and prosperous 2016.

Transformation in Christ

I have commitment and follow through issues but I think that is all soon going to change. Yay! #prayforme

I would just like to share my testimony to the love that our Father, God in Heaven has for us!

As a Catholic teenager I had to do the Confirmation program. I legit, hated to go to Church and say the Rosary as I felt I was forced to do (especially by my grandmother ughh, God rest her soul). But during the 2 year duration of my confirmation classes, I found God. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about my faith and about Him that my negative thinking changed. I am not 100% in agreement with things that the Catholic faith does, however I have to admit that the guidance of the faith lead me to and back to God. This post is not about religion, let's be clear. This post is about my journey (a summary).

So as a teenager, I found God, I began building a relationship with my Jesus. However, as a teenager, I was still naive about many things and not fully mature (obviously). There was a period a few years after up until recently where I slipped out of my relationship with God. I knew it was happening however the choices I made was not helping to salvage it at all. There would be many ins and outs regarding God and I remember always (not always) praying before I entered slumber just because it was routine. There was no intention in my prayers; they were all just recitals until I fell asleep. God was always with me though, oh yes he was. I always felt protected and guarded (thank you Guardian Angel). The path I was walking was mildly sinful but sinful nonetheless. Sin is sin and sin leads to death (Romans 6:23). Jesus is our salvation and we must yearn Him to break the bondage of slavery i.e. sin.



This year, 2015, I don't know if I knew I was craving God full-time in my life for the past two or three years. Does that make sense? Lol. God was talking to me all the while. Sending people and events my way for me to re-evaluate where I wanted to be after the Earth ceases to exist. Sometimes you have to go through something heart wrenching for you to find God. I met someone, I call her Ri. Beautiful soul she is. A strong believer in Christ and she inspires me all the time. One of my coworkers gave me a Rosary, asked me if I read scripture daily, ensures that I do and we have conversations about Christ working in our lives and trust me, we both need work. I recently have been reunited with my best friend from secondary school and she is another inspiration. The challenges she has overcome and is overcoming reminds me that we all have our own issues to battle to bring us closer to God and that we all have in common, the LOVE OF GOD. My cousin Lee as well is a 'born again Christian' and her devotion to Jesus is admirable. My fiancé even goes to Church with me and he loves God so much.



This year I did the Life in the Spirit Seminar for a 2nd time in my Church and it was a more meaningful and fulfilling experience. I always had a negative view about the Sacrament of Reconciliation (confession), why must I go to a man to ask God to forgive me? That all changed when I went to confession this year. It is hard to describe the feeling I felt afterward. I went to God with my heart heavy, I told the priest all the sins that came to mind (trust me, years of sin), I said my penance with genuine intention and the heavy heart I had left me, I tried to think of things I felt guilty about about and nothing, no feelings about it. It is a feeling one must experience to truly understand what I am describing. That event truly solidified my decision in making a huge effort to mend my relationship with God. I yearned the Church again, I attend Mass with intention, I pray and talk to God with intention (out loud sometimes). I feel His power in my life, I feel His love in my life, I feel His presence in my life. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit is REAL (yes 'is' lol). Believe me or not (I really hope you believe me). My prayer for the entire world is for everyone to give their life to Jesus. I don't want the enemy to take the souls God gave to us mere humans on this Earth because they BELONG to God.

Some changes: It has reached now where I could care less about Carnival, about certain music (dancehall and music that is utterly negative, most soca), I really try to treat people with more kindness (the ppl I do not necessarily like) until I don't have to try any more (because it is nature), I read scripture everyday, I attend Mass more regularly, my filthy mouth is getting cleaner (I rarely curse any more) except for those darn cockroaches and when I injure myself. But hear na, I squeezed my thumb in the car door and I didn't curse!!! Yaayyyy!!! I jumped up and down bawling though lol. I have many other smaller testimonies of God working in my life, e.g. the time my sandal strap burst and I found a piece of littered twine in the grass. Now no one can tell me God didn't allow me to find that.

I longed for Jesus in my life, He knew I wanted Him and I knew I had to make some changes to live for and with Him. I tell you eh, God is sooooooooooo GREAT, God IS Love!!! #PraiseJesus

Commitment Issues or Just Plain Lazy?

I have a problem. Not with anyone or anything (ok that's a lie but I'm not focusing on them tonight), with my own darn self! I am 27 years old and I wish that if I had committed myself to oh so many things, I would be at a place where I feel totally satisfied. I mean this pretty much about myself personally, for personal growth; nothing materialistic.

I began doing yoga when I was 16 years old and was doing it on and off for sometime. If I had stuck with it, I would have been pretty fit and flexible by now. Just today I said I would start doing yoga again and really keep to it...I already feel to put it aside. Why oh why? I felt soooo stiff and everything was hard to do. Shouldn't that be motivation enough? Sigh. I need some serious help.

The next thing is this blog. Lol. In  a big way, I started this blog and well I didn't bother with it anymore for a long time (I'm talking years) and then I said yes! 2015, new year, new and great things are happening this year 'cause 2014 truly sucked! I just wanted to start afresh so I posted a piece entitled Second Time Around...YEAH RIGHT! Who was I kidding? So guess what, I am trying it once again and hopefully, the third times is the charm. 

I have been in  a relationship for almost 10 years now so I definitely do not have commitment issues so it has to be that I am hella lazy! Lord Jesus please, I rebuke this dutty lazy spirit from my life in your precious and Holy name. Amen.

Finding My Purpose

Image courtesy: http://purposedriven.com

In my almost three decades of living, I have found it difficult finding the reason I was put on this Earth. I am a spiritual being sent here by my Creator for a great purpose but I never really recognised what it was until recently. I am a Christian just in case you guys were curious. But that is not the focus. The focus is how do I know and where do I begin realising that I am not a mere random human walking on this marvellous planet.

I remember as a teenager, I struggled with finding out what I was good at. I never really could pin point just what I did well. I always loved animals, the environment, nature, making things, drawing and entertainment. But what was I good at? Little did I know I would become an environmental volunteer, a theatre arts enthusiast and core member of a drama company in my homeland, Trinidad and Tobago, called DMAD (Drama Making A Difference) Company and a future educator.

I never thought that I would want to be a teacher. I had that epiphany one day while at work when a visitor (pre-school teacher) came to my workplace ( a science education organization) with a group of children and after my interaction with them, asked me if I was a teacher. I replied "no", then she said that I should be one because I am really good with children. In another instance, a (primary school) teacher told me that I presented to her students in a very fun and interactive manner which was very commendable. I also recall a university lecturer telling me that I have an aura, unlike some of my other co-workers that meshed well with my delivery of information to her children ( lol idk how to structure that sentence properly, I am not ashamed). I am currently in my second year of my B.Ed in Elementary Education Degree programme, with the hope of being an educator for children in my country. This all happened in my 20's. One important ingredient I must mention, is praying for guidance. That is what I did and God answered me. Prayer is important, it is a form of meditation, building a relationship with our Creator.

For those of you who still struggle with knowing what your purpose is, my advice is to simply look at what you are gifted with. It may not seem significant to you but trust me, the smallest thing you can do well, is a big step in realising how you fit into this gigantic puzzle of life. You were born with a talent. I believe that with my heart and soul. Find it, use it, perfect it. This talent or gift you have can help another person and once you do that, I trust that you have found your purpose. I don't know who will identify with my words but if you do, I hope you find a peace within you that carries you in a place of happiness. I really believe that loving one another (aka using our talents and gifts to help others) is key to the reason we exist.

P.S. God is Love.

Second Time Around the Blog

I know there are so many blogs out there addressing so many topics that the information gets really monotonous and old but that fact hasn't stopped me from wanting to write and share with the world wide web what's on my mind.
I attempted blogging before (2010) and it wasn't that successful but something brewing inside me just said to try again. So here I am trying again. I hope my potential readers (if you are reading this right now thank you :)) connect with me wait scratch that...I hope I connect with you on the topics I intend to write about and heck have a discussion or two.
