JAMAICA! 🇯🇲 Land we love! This is not goodbye but see you soon. Real soon. God help me. I was trying to figure out my next vacation and thought that I should broaden my horizons and go somewhere else next time. But then I was like, "Why?" Why go anywhere else if I can go to Jamaica? So, that said I WILL BE BACK. As we descend shortly into the dark, bleak, pumpkin spice filled abyss that is autumn in Canada, filled with cold drafts, rain, cloudy days and dead leaves 🍂🍁🥀, I will forever remember your even-keeled, predictable weather, your ocean, your beaches, your lush green landscape where the leaves stay on the trees, your sunshine, your humidity, your mountains and rolling hills, your flora and fauna, your locally sourced food, your better tasting beef, chicken and @kfcjamaica, your Jamaican men who try to sweet talk the pants off of me (but who are hella fine still), and your people who recognize me as family and immediately embrace me as a child of the island. I will be back as soon as I have more money and vacation leave. Don't you worry. #jamaicalandwelove #landofgoodandwata

@jewelgrandejamaica ! Oh how I have loved staying with you for the week. I will miss your warm hospitality, your FOOD, your manicured lawns and immaculate landscaping, and your boardwalk where I can take in Caribbean sunsets like this one. Special shout out to Guest Services, to Micton and his colleagues who went above and beyond the call of duty (omg we love Micton!😍), to Kadian, to the bellhops, to Tafari, to really just everybody for your attention, kindness and care shown to my sister and I. Much appreciated. Thank you for having me. 🥰 It truly was a place #whereperfectionmeetsthesea and where we got to #discovertheextraordinary. #jewelgrande

Wish I could move like that... The last dancehall move I learned was "log on." Things have obviously changed since then. And look at the kids!

The last supper (and I couldn't ask for a better one!).🙌🏿🙏🏿🙌🏿 Jerk chicken, oxtail, curry goat, rice and peas, festival, steam vegetables, purple cabbage, coleslaw... and there's potato salad under there somewhere. After today, there will be no more eating-everyday-like-its-Christmas. #drycry 😭

At the end of what turned out to be a very long day (a long story that I can share in person if we ever see each other), we managed to finagle a stop at @kfc one last time. @kfcjamaica #fingerlickingood #kfcjamaica

No one showed up for Core and Stretch this evening so I took the opportunity to colour by the sea. One of the reasons why I post so often is so that I can continue to contribute to and curate a visual representation of my life. Instagram allows me to not only post photos but also videos and the concomitant stories. I am reminded of the places I visited, the people I met, the lessons I've learned... Photo albums do this imperfectly. On social media, however, I see the reactions of others, the community that has emerged, and the things that bring me joy. I am reminded of the love that is already present in my life. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten lost in my own timeline. And just by scrolling, I am reminded that I lead a colourful, eventful, impactful, meaningful existence -- especially helpful during times when I question it all. So it's not really about likes or followers or "Will people care?" It's for me. I don't know if people will care, but I care (and I want to share) so I post. In the gift of retrospection, I remember that "He fills my life with good things."
