But what can I say? I have been busy expanding the Story Time brand behind the scenes and living in the adventures. ๐Ÿ˜…The Transcultura grant writing course for Caribbean creatives also took much of my time.

Exploring the beauty of Suriname's tropical rainforest

 Exploring the beauty of Suriname's tropical rainforest Yes, here I am again blogging about the beauty of nature! ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒดEach part of the world ๐ŸŒŽhas something that makes it unique in its own way. Looking at this picture that I took with my Nikon D3100, I have to say that in Suriname it is our tropical rainforest that makes us special. We are known as the beating heart of the Amazon rainforest for a reason! ๐Ÿ’“ I love exploring my country and discovering the hidden gems in our nature. A  lot of Surinamese people haven't even seen these parts of the country. But I can't blame them! Suriname is so big that even I haven't seen all the places.  What I can say is that exploring the unique beauty of Suriname's tropical rainforest is worth it!  Outside of Paramaribo, you can find the untouched beauty of our nature. Just taking in these moments reminds me how beautiful our planet is. We live in a world worth saving!   Life in the tropical rainforest of Suriname isn't easy

Becoming the chairwoman of Innovative Diversity

 Blogger notes: How Innovative Diversity began Hello my dearest Story Time friends from around the world, how are you? I have some exciting news about my personal life to share with you in this blogger note. This involves my life here in Suriname. Among my local friends, I am known as Sharona Lieuw-On. That girl, man what I can tell you about her? She lives a diverse life and roams around the country exploring and observing. A lot of people know me from different things.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘€But to me, that doesn't matter. What I value the most is my good heart. Because you can't put a price on that. Why else do you think I get spoiled rotten in this South American/Caribbean country? Believe me, I have often wished that I could be like a normal person and just relax without caring about other people's problems or the world around me. But as fate has it, God turned me into one of those introverts that don't like hanging with people but somehow no matter how cranky Sharona gets on certai
