Beni's Christmas Palace In Suriname

 Beni's Christmas Palace In Suriname Just like in the photo above this text, I am okay but I am not completely okay. I feel awful on the inside and for a long time it was difficult to find the motivation to return to blogging.  Tomorrow's Christmas, so I mustered all of my strength to at least finish another episode. I've been gone for a while because as usual, life got hectic. But this time in a bad way! As you guys know a while ago I started a company in Suriname. Most of my days were spent creating Story Time episodes, working, doing social work or going along to get a taste of the field.  When we go to clients, sometimes I get to see awesome places. Or in between on our journeys we tend to make pitstops. This Story Time episode is supposed to be about my visit to Beni's Christmas palace. But let me tell you about what happened after that first. Just so you can understand how my Christmas spirit, transformed in the energy of mourning. People see the good, but I'l...

" Sick young woman buying fruits in the tropics"



Hello friends, I'm writing to you again from the tropics. Despite being sick, and having severe back problems I still crawled behind my laptop to finish this Story. I guess whenever I get to create a Story Time episode, it makes me feel better. This blog has become a creative outlet for me. Gasp, takes in a deep breath and remembers how this blog started. Writing and creating makes me feel good! Even when the world around me has me stressed out. I've been sick so often, that my body is just screaming how much I need a break. When I say that, I don't mean just a time out! I'm talking about creating enough peace in my life and eleminating things that aren't good for my mental and physical well-being.😤I've been sick so many times, that working on these things have become a priority for the year. Life is showing me the hard way, that I've been there for everyone but myself. 😪That's a people-pleasing habit that never pays off. As I'm continuing to learn on my self-love journey I realize that we can't control the things that happen to us. Sometimes the people who you loved and cared for the most, will be the first one to kick you while you're sick and down on the floor. But as a warrior Queen, I don't know what giving up is. I've read the translated version of the Bhagvad Gita, and in it there is the story of the Pandavas. A story that has always caught my interest. The knowledge and wisdom I gained from reading this sacred book, is what makes me hold on to the the philosophy of self-love. It's not always easy, but each time I fail I struggle to stand on my two feet again. For the most part of my life I was left to figure things out on my own. The journey I had, is one you wouldn't even believe if I told you! Although I've always felt alone since I was a child, I like to believe that there was always some kind of divine and loving power guiding me.Sometimes that warm touch of God and Love is all you need to get through the darkest and toughest moments. Even if it means, pouring that love from your own cup! I made this vlog a few days before I got sick again. In this part of the tropical caribbean the flue has been spreading. It caught me and on top of that my back problems kicked in again.😤But the voice inside of me is comforting me by whispering : " Sharona, remember after each heavy storm, there is a tropical sunshine!". Anyway I was craving fruits and coconut water. So we stopped at one of the many fruit stalls on the Martin Luther King Highway in Suriname. They also sell fish, and Surinamese crabs at these street stalls. Because I didn't feel well, I wanted to pump my body with as many natural vitamins as possible. They also sell other Surinamese fruits, like mango's , rambutang, oranges etc.Have fun watching my vlog and wish me the best as I slowly recover. I'm sending you guys nothing but loving and positive vibes.💓 Thanks for tuning in as usual! Are you planning on traveling through South America or any other warm destination?
