Our publication contains articles from our advertisers and contribution writers. The goal is to share positive information. If you are interested in giving out your expertise or knowledge, let us know. Community involvement is the objective.
The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched as they must be felt in the heart. Let the creator give you strength and courage to overcome any situation. Stand before all your enemies and hold your head to the sky knowing that the most high is with you. Let divine purpose come from within; those who are with you will shine through the dark clouds.
If you would like to advertise, please contact us. We will promote your product or special event. By letting us know who or when your special day is, it prevents dual scheduling. The intention is to complement not compete; remember unity is strength.
When one book closes, you will realize there is an entire library that needs to be researched. Know that six months from now you will be in a completely different space, mentally, spiritually and financially. That’s the living truth. Understand that values, morals and integrity must never be compromised. What else does one have, if not honesty with oneself? For how can a lie conceal the reflection that is in the mirror? Don’t seek validation from others; find it from that reflection you see in the mirror. Be responsible for yourself. If someone can’t use you or reap the benefit of off you, will they deal with you in the hour off need? Accepting the truth is the living truth for happiness.
Our product is unique because this magazine targets Jamaican culture on the island and worldwide. This publication affirms identity and builds community self-esteem. We will not only bring entertainment, but also provide information in areas of health, education, entrepreneur and environment.
