If I could trade places with another person every week I probably would. that may sound strange to you, but I have never been intrigued by monotony. I would relish the chance to experience a new country and a new culture from the point of view of another person.
Which brings me to the question...who am I?
I am a Caribbean woman - with a creative spirit, always full of ideas and big dreams. If only I could sit still long enough to see any of those dreams to fruition.
Once I was going to be a ballerina and I did pretty good on my toes too! Then, I was going to be a rapper - I had skills on the mic and got played on local radio.
Somewhere along the line I wanted to teach and worked with kids, but that was until I decided I was going to own my own spa.
You can see where I am going with this...
The thing is - I am good at all these things - and more! I make my own clothes and fabric bags, I do hair and nails, am a certified child care provider, drop a rap line every now and again and will lock myself in my room and forget to eat when I get caught up writing a new novel. Yup, you heard me, I write novels as a hobby. I have five completed (unpublished, of course) novels on my bookshelf and I am just proud to look at them.
In addition, I market my mother's bridal business House of Fashion & Design and make bridal bouquets among other things and decorate for wedding receptions.
One would figure I would be rolling in some kind of dough by now, but maybe, my ideas and dreams are just that - ideas and dreams... But life would be no fun if I couldn't wake up with the freedom I have every day to say to myself - I will try something new today.
This blog is a journey into my life and thoughts.
( Cocoa Bisou was the name I played with for a line of petite sized clothing. Bisou means kiss in french, I liked the idea of cocoa kisses, so I just hung onto that name. Hopefully my little blog post will be like tiny cocoa kisses in your day. Sometimes we all need them)
