Rara Tou Limen

Music
As if I don’t do enough in a day, I’ve created some music mixes. This music was used originally used to warm up classes that I might teach, but it became very addictive playing the music that I want to listen to when I wanted to listen to it. Feel free to download and use […]

Ayiti Chronicles – Arrival
We arrived around 1:30pm yesterday. I’ll be honest in saying that it feels really great to be out of the cold weather in the States and into this 90+ degree weather down here!

Moving On
2010 has been a challenging year. I’m glad it’s over. Time to get it going for 2011. I’m trying to go back to school, get the finances together, and make things happen in my community! RIP to Dr. Johnson and my Big Brother Ruskin McEwen. I love and miss you both.
