Happy birthday Mama Blossom — Me and my mama!

Dear God, today I focus on my gratitude for my dear mom who passed on July 2, 2017. I am so grateful that you allowed her to come into this world on Saturday, October 25, 1947 to impact all the lives she touched as:

An obedient and discipline child to her parents and various communities in which she was raised.

A loving sister to many.

A wonderful and devoted wife to her husband

A loving, protective, caring, strict and jovial mother to seven biological children and a host of foster children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, whom she nurtured and encouraged to be exceptional human beings.

A wonderful relative to a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.

A counsellor and advisor to thousands.

A long-standing and devoted member of the People’s National Party in Jamaica.

A creative interior decorator and business woman who cooked and satisfied thousands at Mama’s Place in Bay Road, Westmoreland, Jamaica (now I am missing her cooking lol. She was a great cook, and many loved her pork meals.)

She was a wonderful friend and confidant to many, including me.

She was a devoted Christian.

God I thank you that I knew her and that she loved me and I her. I especially thank you my Father that while writing this, I am smiling (last year this time I was tearing up). I am her writing and visualizing her; seeing her all dressed up (she loved to dress up and was a fashionable woman) on a Sunday, looking beautiful as ever and graceful going to church, where she sang beautifully.

Again, I thank you God for sharing her with us, I will always love and cherish her memories…now I am in tears, but I am fighting them back by smiling, because God you are good for sending her to impact lives, especially mine and this is good reason to be happy and grateful.

I will keep smiling in your honour Mama – Happy birthday hon and keep singing with your beautiful voice and watch over us. Thanks for your love and care my beautiful Catherine Anglin-Pearson. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS!

You are missed by your husband Desmond Pearson, me, your daughter Maria and sons Billy, Steve, Jeremy and Acleish. Please say hello to your baby son Franz who left us to be with you in paradise. You are also missed by thousands who love you. Again, happy birthday mama!

Giving thanks to the Creator!

The struggle is real but I will continue giving thanks to the Creator for all my blessings.

Like everyone else I have my down days, but I will continue pushing to keep my head above the waters and work smartly for what is rightfully mine.

Blessings to everyone who has no intention of giving up even when we are faced with grave hardship.

Though we are going through our personal crisis, let us find a way to lift up those around us who are struggling. We are our brother’s and sister’s keepers, so let’s do it for the love and not for the likes…

Happy Friday and love always from Queen Gee!

Dear God – Thank You!

Dear God, today I rise and honour You in the beauty of holiness. I sing You praises for allowing me to be witness to yet another beautiful morning.

My God I adore You! You are my King of kings, Lord of lords, healer and provider.

It is such a peaceful and cool morning here in Kingston, Jamaica and I am rejoicing because I made it.

So many didn’t make it this morning. I am so saddened by this, but take comfort in Your words from Revelation 21:4 – “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

I send love and virtual hugs to everyone who lost a loved one, especially to Covid-19. But in the midst of all this, I lift my faith knowing that You always comfort Your people, according to Matthew 5:4 – “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”

Thank You, God for cradling them in Your loving arms and reassuring them that You are still in control and You will never leave or forsake us. I thank You that my family is also comforted as we grieve the loss of a son, brother, father, husband, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend. Rest in paradise my little brother Franz. I love and will miss you man!!

Thank You my Almighty God for taking care of Your people and for blessing us with the Gifts of Your Spirit and Fruits of Your Spirit; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

God as I go about my daily routine, I take comfort in the fact that I will be divinely lead by You to do what is pleasing to You and will bring You glory. So at this point I wait on You to tell me who You want me to serve today and who You want me to comfort.

Please drop Your answer in my spirit and it will be done.

Thank you once more my wonderful God for blessing all Your people, in the beautiful name of Your Son Jesus Christ.

Love always from your daughter Gillian!!

Giving thanks for my blessings

Giving thanks to the Creator is the main part of my daily routine. This is how I start and end my days, as I have to give thanks for His merciful kindness.

There are so many things to give thanks for, but today I am especially thankful for the following:

I am grateful that I attract awesome people in my life. My family, relatives, friends I love you all so much. The people I surround myself with are so supportive and I feel their love circling me while I grieve the passing of my baby brother Franz, who left us on Tuesday May 12, 2020. Farewell my brother.

My baby brother, Franz Pearson (deceased)

I am thankful that God blessed me with a baby brother who was loving, caring and jovial. Franz ensured that people around him are/were always laughing. Lol, I am writing this and smiling, because a picture of him laughing and showing all his teeth popped into my head. Though we are grieving your passing bro, we will keep smiling because of you. Love and hugs always.

I give thanks for wisdom, knowledge and understanding. It is due to this blessing that I am able to survive during this world pandemic. Though I work from home, I serve entertainers, mostly reggae artistes who are not able to earn much, due to the lock down of entertainment arenas around the world.

However, I am committed to helping them, so I will do whatever it takes to keep my promise; money or not.

I am grateful that I form and maintain good relationship with people who are positive, friendly and harmonious.

What are you grateful for today?

Tomorrow I will be back to express gratitude for some of my blessings. In the meantime I am sending you love and gratitude for the time you took to stop by and read my daily ramblings. Wishing you all the best and blessings in abundance. Be safe!

Sharing My Gratitude on the Last Day of 2019

December 31, 2019December 31, 2019
by Queen Gee

Gratitude is my daily attitude especially in 2019! Being grateful brings me joy and on this last day of 2019 I am reflecting on the past year and decade.

Looking back through the years, there has been some highs and some deep lows, but hey I am alive!!

IMPROVING MY HEALTH IN 2019

Losing my mom to cancer in July 2017 was the lowest blow. It shook me and my family to the core as it all went so fast, but the high point of this deep dark time in my life is that my siblings and I are now closer than ever.

Losing her has also caused me to be living healthier, as I made it a priority to learn all I can about healthy eating; healthy living on a whole. This I did by learning a lot from researching “how to”. Though it still hurts, and I continue to miss her daily, I am grateful that her passing caused me to take steps to be a better and healthier person. This includes:

scheduling my days and prioritizing so that I do not stress over things that are not important
eating foods that cause my body to function well and feel good
getting enough rest
maintaining healthy relationships
doing things that I love and enjoy
developing my spirituality (consciousness)
operating a business that I really, really love
mentoring youths
and much more

Such is life, right? Though I have suffered many low blows that are too much to mention, I have withstood the test of times and now rejoicing because I am alive to tell the tales. If that is not success, then what is?

EXPRESSING MY GRATITUDE

Sharing My Gratitude on the Last Day of 2019

I am using this opportunity to express sincere gratitude to my CREATOR, who is always with me, guiding my steps and EVERYONE who supported me and my business, Mystique Professional Services in any way shape or form over the years.

The list would be too long if I were to start writing names. But I would never be who I am without my family, friends, mentors, teachers, clients and colleagues who assisted or advised me along the way. I am not leaving out the critics, lol sometimes I need them (hope you understand that).

When I took the bold decision to start my business in 2012, I knew what I wanted to do, but later realized I was not fully equipped for the task. I thought my past job experiences and short courses in marketing would be enough, but far from it.

Looking back now I can laugh, because its so funny and strange that though I didn’t have good experience in my field, I always received good reviews from most of the persons I offered Music PR service. I guess I am a natural right? But that isn’t how I wanted to grow my business. Well I kept saying that for years but was too busy to take time out to further educate myself in the area I wanted to serve.

WHY I MADE THE DECISION TO CHANGE

I remember a few years ago someone referred to me as “CLUELESS” 😆😂. Others would have been furious, but for some strange reason I stopped and reflected. Though at the time the sound of that one word cut deep like a knife, I am glad what was meant for evil turned me into the businesswoman I am today.

Oh yes! Because of that remark I began to research and study like wow to better equip myself with the wisdom, knowledge and understanding I need to help my clients achieve your goals. In some strange way I have to express gratitude to the dude too…well let’s hope I will see him again, but I send it to him mentally…yep!

Because of him I made the all-important change to further educate myself and now I am growing, my business is growing, and I am grateful.

STEPPING INTO 2020 LIKE A BOSS

On this 31^st day of December 2019, I sit here writing my thoughts while sipping on a cup of my favourite tea and thinking about this lovely quote, “Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365-page book. Write a good one.” ~ Brad Paisley

That is exactly what I will be doing! I have revised my vision board, checked in on my daily and weekly schedule to make sure they are aligned with my visions and goals for the next year and decade. Smiling with gratitude, I visualize myself in the next few hours stepping into 2020 like a boss – great woman of God, woman of compassion, youth mentor, publicist, marketer, entertainment blogger, good Samaritan and a woman who loves myself and everyone unconditionally.

What are your plans? Feel free to share in the comment area.

NEW YEAR’S WISHES TO YOU

I look forward to sharing more with you in the new year and that my relationship with you will be strengthened and of course I am looking forward to building new ones.

Cheers to you and your families and I wish you great success in every area of your lives. Make the best of it doing what brings you joy. Happy 2020 🎉. Step into it like a boss and claim all that your beautiful hearts desires. Do good always and I wish for you blessed love 💕💝💕

I acknowledge myself for being a better person

December 5, 2019December 17, 2019
by Queen Gee

Today I acknowledge myself for being discipline with my daily habits and for growing in confidence.

I asked myself the question ‘what do I acknowledge myself for’ and suddenly a smile came on my face.

This I have been doing a lot lately for creating the person I am and the person I want to become. There is much I have to acknowledge myself for every day.

How do I do this?

Push myself to stay on top of my game.
Prioritizie my time daily by setting up a daily routine.
Upgrade my skills daily by reading, watching how to videos, attend seminars, etc.
Try my best to take care of my health by eating healthy, exercise, regular sleep/relaxation and meditation.
Maintain healthy relationship with the people around me.
And more (may have to write a book *winks*).

Why am I sharing this?

Many persons are too busy these days and neglect to acknowledge themselves. Remember that your joy comes from within and you need to make yourself joyful every chance you get. Its a great feeling and I want you to feel it too.

Don’t get stuck

Years ago I dropped out of the tertiary institution after the first year. My finances were low.

I know there are persons who started their tertiary level education and like me, had to drop out due to lack of finances. Don’t get STUCK there.

Rise up, dust yourself off and try again.

You can still pursue your goals and live your dreams by finding information on the world wide web to educate yourself, get your dream job or start the business you have been dreaming about.

Currently I am doing a few FREE courses online about digital marketing, public relations, nutrition and other interests. I am learning sooooo much valuable lessons about my passions and loving it.

If you have a desire to start your own business or to further educate yourself for that job promotion, then I am recommending that you learn as much as you can to master your field. Reseach, reseach, research…do as many free or paid course that you can and read about others in your field/interests; learn how they overcame obstacles you are facing or how to do what they do.

Life is awesome! Keep upgrading yourself in every area of your life and always remember to acknowledge yourself. BEST WISHES!!

Dear diary, today is another beautiful day and I refuse to be just a spectator, so I surely will be living it up in a special way.

I am also grateful for many, many things today, but will be sharing ten of them with you as follow:

I am alive and well!
I am not feeling any form of pain!
I am so lovable!
I have wonderful and caring friends!
It is a sunny yet cool morning!
I am learning more about the benefits of meditation and practicing it more every week.
While I am not yet a perfect vegan (which I aspire to become), I am making progress by adding more vegetables and fruits to my meals. For years I was paying little or no attention to my bad eating habits, but have been making changes in recent times and grateful that I have made this decision to improve my health.
I FEEL GOOD 😊😘😁
I am starting a new “Sponsorship Marketing” project really soon and I am excited about what the Universe is doing for my company.
I am having a joyful and peaceful weekend with relatives and friends.

To you my wonderful readers, I am grateful that you have taken the time to read my diary and I wish for you joy, prosperity, great health and beautiful relationships.

Let us all purpose within to do the best for ourselves, our families, neighbours, communities and the environment…we can do it…let’s be THE CHANGE.

I love 💝 you with a special love and wish for you a happy weekend!!

Oh what a beautiful morning; oh what a beautiful day!!!

I will forever start my day with gratitude for life. It’s such a blessing to breathe the breath of life and knowing that I am among the living…wow what a joy!

Today I begin my day with love, joy, peace, forgiveness, prosperity, gratitude, confidence, honesty, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, patience, kindness, smart work ethics and plans to continue eating healthy to maintain this beautiful body the Creator gave me to take care of.

I am also grateful to be of service to artistes and businesses I serve, such as Reggae and Dancehall Artistes Prophet Elijah, Vehnom, Dilligent and Sampalue, as well as the latter’s establishment; KGN10 Sports Bar & Grill. I am also grateful to past clients for the opportunity to serve them. It’s an honour.

I continue to do what it takes to make me a better person, oh yes I continue to groom me into who I want to be, by reading daily to increase knowledge about mind, body and spirit, as well as anything else I have interest in, especially music marketing and vegan lifestyle (I not yet a vegan but I’m getting th

ere). I also like to watch videos and have discussions with like-minded people about these topics. I also love to meditate, as I want to become aware of who I am each day and use this to shape my mind, which I know will eventually place me exactly where I want to be in life: healthy, happy, wealthy and serving others.

Today I close with a quote from one of my mentors, the late Louise Hay; “I act as if I already have what I want, as it’s an excellent way to attract happiness in my life.” We can do it…let’s do it!!!

The struggle to lose weight is over!!

November 15, 2018November 16, 2018
by Queen Gee

Captured on May 18, 2018 after gaining the weight. Newer pictures will be shared with you in a few weeks.

Most of my wonderful relatives and friends have no idea that I have been struggling with losing weight since May of this year, not just because I want to maintain a gorgeous figure, but due to illness (not terminal thanks to the Most High.)

During a two year period leading up to May I gained over fifty pounds, due to bad eating habits and over working myself. Low and behold, I started having breathing issues…my back problems (slipped or herniated disk) worsened and I also started to experience fatigue.

In May, just couple days before my birthday which is the 16th, I was in a vehicle with windows up and air condition running, when I started to experience Hypo-ventilation. It was really difficult to breathe and so I was rushed to a doctor, who referred me to a hospital that deals with such situations…tests, tests and more tests were done. Long story short, among other procedures and medication, it was recommended that I MUST lose some of the weight I was packing. Now my friends, my experience was no joke, as such I knew I had to shed the pounds I gained plus more.

I started to research ways to lose it without causing further damages to my body and worst of all the problem is with my heart, so you know I have to trod lightly, with the help and recommendations of my doctor of course. I tried numerous methods, including change of diet and mild exercise, but nothing much was happening, until someone who is knowledgeable about fasting recommended that I try that method…who wants to go without food…smh. Not something I would normally rush to do, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

I researched that too and with the realization that it will work wonders I am now using the good ancient method that was used by our ancestors for spiritual strengthening and physical cleansing. I also learned about the different types of fasting (I didn’t even know there were so many) and decided to do short dry fasting for 24 hours once per week and now I am on a water fasting for 48 hours, which ends at 6 pm today.

I will then be doing intermittent fasting (5 days per week), coupled with high intensity training workout for 20 minutes daily. The good thing about it is that I will not only be losing weight, I will also be repairing the body and shortening the pace at which I am aging (smiles).

I am so elated that I have finally found a way to be healthier…the struggle to losing the weight is over!!

Happy Friday & Weekend Everyone!

This is an absolutely beautiful design by HappyFridayImages.com, I found it in my search to find something nice to help me wish you a happy Friday and Weekend.

If you are off servile duties for the weekend then you make sure to relax, go to the beach, a movie, sleep, hop, skip, jump but whatever you chose to do, have great fun with family and friends. If you are like me and have to work through it all then don’t think that you shouldn’t have fun too. What ever you do, relax your mind, have fun working and never feel unhappy about any opportunity to be productive.
