The bond between a Mother and Daughter can never be broken, especially when they run a successful trinket business, a non-profit organization for children together and share strong attributes within themselves that compliment one another. IDYART: PushinCulcha &Creativity That Heals IG: @idyart I met Aida and Dr. Kim D Harris Ed. D. at the Tmrw.Today Festival in the Vendors Marketplace. They were sitting calmly behind their merchandise table as I moseyed over to gaze at their handcrafted work. So much talent, creativity and love in one single place.

Yea, I have What'sAPP. What Globetrotter doesn't?  It's the easiest most accessible way to reach friends, learn about their lives through activity and stay in touch once you've returned home. All you need is WIFI connection. But every now and then one seeks to retreat from the demands of daily life, emails and phone calls. It's hard to do that with notifications ringggging off of the hook. It's better just to tap out, solid.  Leave a message for all to know that you'll be away from some days and tune into the world of retreat all around you.  But if you're not ready for a full dive, you can purchase a Digicel Phone Plan so that you stay connected to the people you around you have access to the locals, the taxis, call any island business and make emergency calls without hassle. It's like any other service, simply insert your SIM Card in to your SMART Phone. Download the Digicel Top UP App and add money for minutes as you go! Have a simp...

Sunlight and Plants to oxidize the room. When you first take on that new Job, you are ecstatic! You're charged and seem to have an enormous amount of Mental, Emotional, Physical and Spiritual capacity to take things on, to thrive constantly and do well. But overtime, when productivity settles in so does the stress of processing, maintaining and or managing your energy throughout the day.  Self-care is Essential for completing projects and assignments, especially for remote and independent workers. Private booths for information sensitive calls or meetings  Self-care in fact is a must, and it lives right there in the workplace. As a Wellness Practitioner and Intrinsic Wellness Coach, I am passionate about having a healthy happy work place.  The simple things we know but take for granted, like staying Hydrating, taking breaks, cooling down, interacting with others, getting a good stretch in, proper digesting lunch before returning to work.  Insp...
