I am in Jamaica!

Greetings All,


I arrived safely in jamaica yesterday and hit the ground running! Me, Joy and Roy, this amazing engineer who is working on rebuilding parts of historic Falmouth, went to Time N' Place and secured this idylic paradise for the location of the workshops. 


The owner, Tony and his manager, Harvel, are the perfect hosts.  Between Tony, Harvel and Roy, I know that the day will run smoothly, rain or shine.  Though of course, we are all faithful that no rain will dare to darken our festival!



Time N' Place



Today, Mr. Hinds of the Jamaican Observer interviewed Joy and me.  I think it went pretty well!

One more supportive man is so encouraging.  Because although we are celebrating the diversity,

beauty and fortitude of the women of Trelawny, it is great to know that there are men who are

celebrating with us!


Right now, I am sitting at Barry G and Cher's Jamaica Jewel, working on promotional materials for

tomorrow when we head on to Kingston.  Though their backyard paradise is one of the most beautiful

on earth, it is humid out here.  I am just so grateful that I had a dip in the sea this morning, because it might be my last for a while!


I will keep you posted as exciting things keep happening and it seems that Womanfest Trelawny '09

will be a balm for this community and Jamaica-at-Large!


One Love

Walk Good
