Homework

Yesterday, my 8 year old niece Yeshema came to the office after school. I heard her mother reminding her to do her homework. Shortly after she came to my office door and said “Look Auntie Marguerite” holding up a sign she had made for her mother’s desk. I admired it and asked her to make […]

2000 and love

There is a beautiful sentiment circulating around Jamaica now – people are referring to this year as 2000 and love (rather than 2008 or 2000 and hate)! It is beautiful because it creates a shift in energy. Just saying the phrase gets the energy moving in a different way. I notice that when people have […]

Free and Laughing – the book!

If you love the blogs, you will love the book “Free and Laughing: Spiritual Insights in Everyday Moments” by me, Marguerite Orane. I published this book as a 90th birthday gift for my mother Daisy. “Free and Laughing” is now available in Jamaica at: Chronicles in Manor Park Liguanea Drug and Garden, C-Mart in Liguanea […]

"Second Childhood"

As has been the tradition in my household for the past eight years, my mother is spending Christmas with us. It is always a beautiful experience for all generations – my mother, me and my children. The children bond with their grandma, learning more and more about her – her childhood, her upbringing, her views […]

Giving others the opportunity to give

Recently, my sister was asked by the coach of her son’s school football (soccer) team to provide 30 lunches for the team. They would be preparing for a very important match, and the school canteen was closed on practice day so they would be unable to get lunch. When my sister related the request to […]

Celebrating my brother’s birthday

My brother Douglas is 60 years old today. As I look at him, I see a powerful, vibrant, accomplished man celebrating 60 years of incredible achievement. Yes, there is less hair, and the hair that remains is increasingly grey – but perhaps that’s to signify the wisdom that he is now expressing. A lifetime of […]

Relationships don’t end – they simply change form

We often get ourselves in a tizzy when we feel that a relationship is coming to an end. If the relationship has been very important to us and integral to our lives, like a marriage or other type of intimate relationship, then it can really throw us for a loop. When we sense that a […]

Universal Life Force Energy

I participated in a Reiki training this weekend. It is something I have wanted to do for a long time, and the moment finally came yesterday. It was a beautiful experience of deliberately tuning into the universal life force energy. As I went through the day, I felt as if my upward journey is continuing […]

Celebrating my sister!

Today is my sister’s birthday! What a blessing it is to have her in my life. I consider that I am the luckiest person in the world, to have this sister, to have the type of relationship we have. She is my best friend, the ultimate confidante, my unwavering supporter, my rock, my role model. […]

Those we love never die

“Those we love never die; they live on in our hearts forever” Yesterday I was poignantly reminded of my favourite words of comfort to those whose loved ones have died. My beloved nephew Kyle, whose dad Pablo passed from this plane of existence 5 years ago, invited his family to accompany him to visit his […]
