Many Jamaicans living in Canada are looking for new investment opportunities on the island, in a bid to help strengthen the relationship between the two countries.
“What Jamaicans want to do is own some of Jamaica, so Jamaicans who have lived abroad are thinking now of being owners and collaborating with Jamaicans on new projects,” said Sharon Ffolkes Abrahams, president of the Canadian Diaspora Association.
One of the areas being targeted, Ffolkes Abrahams said, is tourism, which, in her opinion, needs diversification. Possible areas of expansion are health tourism and ecotourism.

You may be feeling level-headed and choose to use your common sense when making decisions on financial matters. This may seem reasonable and even obvious, but we may not always use our best thinking when it comes to our finances. People who know the power of positive thinking may find themselves making financial decisions based on hope rather than mathematics. It’s important to see your finances in terms of energy in order to be able to utilize your knowledge in combination with your heart and intuition to make the best choices for your life.

Many people feel an aversion to mathematics, but it is the language that allows us to understand nature, science and energy. When we can look at our financial mathematics in terms of energy, we can see the powerful Read More

A feeling of abundance may have enveloped your whole being, which could find you lending money and sharing your resources. Because you are feeling plentiful, you may want to express your gratitude to the universe by circulating the wealth. You can share it with those you love, or donate to an organization that you would like to support. You can give something back to those who helped you to reach this point, be it schools, communities, or just supportive individuals. It may bring you great joy to take a former teacher of yours a gift, or invite your mentor out for a meal. When you share your abundance, you invest it positively in the energy that makes your life fulfilling, while uplifting others as well.

A Matter Of Priorities
Letting Go Of The Little Stuff
We experience numerous disappointments each and every day. Our expectations go unmet, our plans are blocked by circumstance, our wishes go unfulfilled, and we discover that our lives are subject to a myriad of forces beyond our conscious control. In some cases, our response is powerful because we must invest ourselves and our resources to overcome genuine hardship. In others, our reactions are far more passionate than our circumstances likely warrant. The tension that permeates our bodies and minds when we are late for an event, interrupted at work, or sitting in traffic is not inappropriate, but it can interfere with our well-being in profound ways. When we stop worrying about relatively unimportant matters, we can be at peace and devote so much more of ourselves to what is truly important.

The small frustrations and irritations wield such power over us because they rob us of the illusion of control. But every problem is a potential teacher—a confusing situation is an opportunity to practice mindfulness, and difficult people provide us with opportunities to display compassion. There is a natural human tendency to invest copious amounts of emotional energy in minor dilemmas and frustrations in order to avoid confronting those more complex issues that are largely outside the realm of our control. The intensity of our response provides us with a temporary sense of personal power that helps us cope with

Dr. Samuel Weinstein does what many health professionals do that goes above and beyond their duties. He makes trips into parts of the world that are very poor and where specialized medical care is often unavailable. In this case, the heart surgeon from New York was performing an operation in San Salvador.
Weinstein, chief of pediatric cardio-thoracic surgery at Montefiore Medical Center in New York, had an eight-year-old patient on the surgical table. The team was already 12 hours into a complex procedure to repair his defective heart. Read More
