.
Shereen Sterling was born in the parish of St. James on May 16, 1987. She was born a Jamaican and remained one ever since. She attended Catherine Hall Primary School located in Montego Bay, St. James. It was evident that she had many talents to portray.

Shereen represented her school proudly as a track athlete, a singer (JCDC Festival and conferences), to name a few.

While being so active in school she was also active in her community.

5 essential traits to look for….
.
.
Think your Mr. Next has the potential to be Mr. Right? Before you leap without looking, take an honest inventory. See how many of the following five essential traits he possesses.
..
Dating Trait #1: He listens to you
..
The best way to know if Mr. Next is interested in (and worthy of) being a candidate for Mr. Right? He listens to you. You’ll know he’s listening when he shows genuine concern, consistently remembers things you’ve told him (your birthday, favorite food, best friend’s name, etc.), and offers emotional support in honest and thoughtful ways.
..
Dating Trait #2: He connects with you easily
..
We’ve all been in those relationships that take W-O-R-K (and suck the life force out of us in the process). When a relationship works on its own, it feels effortless, easy, and fluid. You don’t have to force anything, forgive anyone, or turn a blind eye to red flags or gut-twisters. Instead, you communicate and collaborate with comfort, compatibility, and undeniable chemistry. If and when you experience this kind of interaction, you are on to something really special.
..
Dating Trait #3: He wants the real you
..
So often, women feel the need to sacrifice some part of themselves to make a relationship work. In the right relationship, there’s no need. You don’t have to hide, tone down, or apologize for any aspect of you or your fabulous life. With the right partner, you’re not only able to be yourself, but you’re better able to be the best version of your most authentic self — no compromises needed.
..
Dating Trait #4: He’s trustworthy
..
A relationship without trust is doomed from the start. But a relationship with abundant trust? A fabulous foundation for real

President Abraham Lincoln helped me to understand that there is a
bit of greatness within all of us. It is said that he often slipped
out of the White House on Wednesday evenings to listen to the
sermons of Dr. Phineas Gurley at New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church.
.
He generally preferred to come and go unnoticed, so when Dr.
Gurley knew the president was coming, he left his study door open.
On one of those occasions, the president quietly entered through a
side door of the church, took his seat in the minister’s study,
located just off the sanctuary, and propped the door open just wide
enough to hear the preacher.
.
During the walk home one Wednesday evening, an aide asked Mr.
Lincoln his appraisal of the sermon. The president thoughtfully
replied, “The content was excellent… he delivered with
eloquence… he had put work into the message..”
.
“Then you thought it was an excellent sermon?” questioned the aide.

Making Marriage Work
…
Mary Southerland
…
I once read that all weddings are happy. It’s the living together afterwards that causes all the trouble. I often feel as if my marriage is this tiny out post sitting in the middle of enemy territory being attacked from all sides. Other times it seems as if I am married to the enemy! Sometimes I am the enemy!
…
This world is not the friend of marriage but God is! In fact, marriage was His idea! I know that you want a great marriage but may feel as if your relationship has endured too much pain, that there is no hope. No matter where you are or where you have been in your marriage, the rest of your marriage can be the best part of your marriage.

I have known Alexandra almost her whole life. She came to my daycare at the delicate age of three months and stayed until she went off to kindergarten, which was this past year.
Binnie, as her mom so affectionately nicknamed her, was like the Energizer Bunny. She never stopped moving, never sat still or slowed down. No matter what was going on, at any given time, she was always a step or two ahead of the other children.
She has the sweet, outgoing personality of her mom and a heart of gold, giving attitude like her dad. I know that her character is partly the result of her parent’s wholesome, faith based qualities but there is also a genuine sense of perception that is all Binnie.
In all of her five years she has shown a unique sense of caring for others that truly surpasses her age.
She has brought much joy to my days. Knowing my absolute love for Coke Slurpees, this tiny tot would sometimes insist that her mom stop to get me one before work. Many a morning Heather would find herself in the middle of the breakfast rush at Burger King to get a frozen coke for me. Binnie’s sole goal was to surprise me — and surprise me she did with her thoughtfulness.
For whatever reason Binnie hated when I’d refer to myself as an old lady. Usually I’d save this remark and dramatize the effect as I’d try to cajole the kids into helping to pick up the toys. Whether Binnie saw right through the charade or saw me as just a big kid, I’ll never know.
I’d like to treasure the memory as a compliment that she she saw past the gray hairs to really appreciate the ‘kid’ in me.
