You deserve motorcades, money and land
Private beaches filled with white or volcanic sand
You represent the land the people and the light
And your future is still so bright

This moment feels heavenly. The Olympic Medals are a major part of it.
But more than that, it has been her belief, her work, her sacrifice, grace and humility.
Moreover, she pulled an entire nation into global focus, joy and unity.

Doing both sprints is exhausting. It is not an easy feat. It only takes an exceptional athlete to triumph. Julien ran against fresher legs.
Julien Alfred is exceptional🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨

The power of an individual with discipline, grit and heart.
Saint Lucia loves you 🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨
Legacy matters🇱🇨
Many carried us before we could walk and jump. Among the many Saint Lucians who have represented us over the years like Zepherinus Joseph, none have been more consistent than the great Levern Spencer.
Thank you Levern for being that light and passing it on.
Julien Alfred has been running for over a decade. It took her these years to create the magical and historic moments we experienced this August.
Dreams take time, work, faith and sacrifice. Why are you doubting yourself? Who told you how long it was supposed to take ?

I am aware of Jamaican dance - daggering and the nuances of passa passa, that too has its own traditions and elements that can experience degradation

As we end the year let us remember the greatness that is demonstrated in our sons and daughters.
Julien Alfred for one has given us many reasons to rejoice and we pray for continued blessings for her into the new year and our nation. 🇱🇨
Someone knows who is bringing illegal guns into St Lucia.
Someone knows of teenaged boys and girls who are part of gangs.
Someone knows who is stealing people's vehicles.
Someone knows the mechanics that are facilitating it.
Someone knows when the hit is going to take place.
Following this hurricane, if legislation does not already exist, there should be a law to fine and or arrest citizens who willingly venture out to sight see during natural hazards like hurricanes.
Saint Lucia 🇱🇨 Olympic Update
It is reported that Michael Joseph will get a second chance at the 400m semis at the repechage round tomorrow at 5:28 a.m.

Many people making scandalous statements are demonstrating that they are missing an important life long skill. READ the article before commenting.
What can a one legged man do ?
Create history.
Dismantle a political empire.
Run a clean campaign.
Demonstrate integrity, perseverance and humility.
You are a whole human being.
Congratulations to Jeremiah Norbert.
While hurricane Beryl has left, the storm surge and raging sea persist.

An oversimplification of what poverty is, ignoring structural obstacles, generational challenges, access to life chances and multiple responsibilities.
In the Caribbean we of all people should know better. But alas...
People fail to realize that poverty is as a result of a mindset. You give people $5000 more a month and they just buy more useless or expensive shit and still end up broke all the time.
Why take that out on people who made wiser financial decisions?
Are you ready to stand at attention with the whole world to sing Saint Lucia's national anthem ?
I sure am. 🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨
11:57 a.m. is our call time locally.
The 2024 Women's Olympic Champion is Julien Alfred from Ciceron Saint Lucia.
I WANT US TO REMEMBER:
ALL SAINT LUCIANS DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO INTERNET.
MANY STILL RELY ON TELEVISION PARTICULARLY GIVEN THE FACT WE HAVE MUTILATED RADIO COMMUNICATION.
EVERYONE DESERVES TO KNOW.
KWÉYÒL IS A LANGUAGE IN SAINT LUCIA.
It is incredible...
Unforgettable that is what you are.
And even while I know so many hearts are breaking I do not doubt for a moment that you are making melodious, angelic music just as you did here on earth.
To quote the graciousness of God without repentance and offering an apology towards the individual(s) you have hurt is Phariseetic.
Who are your friends?
And if your friendship leads you to hate, attack, malign & gossip rather than seeking solutions it is a den of iniquity.
Disclaimer: please note that this post is not meant to be combative, but reconciliatory.
Now that a couple days have passed, the hostility has died down, and we can all think logically, I will state my final piece on all of this. Not that I need to, I just want to.
The power of a Prime Minister to call an election continues to make Caribbean democracies elective dictatorships. An election is supposed to be competitive, free and fair.
Your health is your wealth.
You can get another job.
You can be fired.
The task you are rushing to do can be done tomorrow.
You can miss an event. And life will continue.
Take care of yourself.
There is only one you.
