Intro / Feature

Hey ,Happy Sunday my friend!

That caption (subject) got you right?

Lol :-)

Actually, I made light note of the issue, but it is a serious issue, the issue of been owed money and the burrower unwilling to pay.

And while the recommended solution was in response to a question from someone who operates a lending institution here in Jamaica, meaning it is Jamaican context based, the steps are pretty much the same for most other places in the world.

And so, I recommend that you take a look at it. Here is the link:

Remember too, I have other insightful articles on the blog, you can read them here: https://www.my-island-jamaica.com/jamaica-blog.htm

And one more thing...

It will be fun, as I will also be engaging my audience live too.

Featured Video!

Yesterday, July 17, PALAS hosted a LIVE telethon, streamed by various media platforms across the world.

The goal?

To secure donations from well thinking individuals in Jamaica, the diaspora and the wider Jamaica loving community, for needy students in Jamaica.

And My-Island-Jamaica.com was a proud partner! And I'm happy to report that we are able to generate some donations during our 1 hour segment, it is truly a blessing.

Here's the video...

Featured Jamaican Product

Last week I spoke to you about Little Ochie, the preferred seafood eatery on Jamaica's south coast, remember?

And this week, still keeping it on the south coast, I introduce (or remind - for some) to you the Black River attraction!

Some years ago, Margaret Kidd, one of my ardent readers, wrote about it as a contest entry. Most Jamaicans, and visitors, typically go there for the crocodile sightings but it is much more.

Here's Margaret's entry, which I tell you, is still one of my favourite: https://www.my-island-jamaica.com/black-river-tour-st-elizabeth-jamaica.html. Read it to learn more about it.

Recognition

I was asked to do a commencement speech for a the Springfield Primary and Infant school graduation in St. Elizabeth last week.

And although I was super busy and brought it down to the wire, I think I spoke from my heart and in the end, was able (hopefully) to inspire the kids.

So thanks again to Kesha and the rest of the staff for the invitation. It was a bit different this time because of the pandemic, but I enjoyed it.

If interested, you can find a copy of the presentation here on YouTube (unlisted): https://youtu.be/52LywqIxzEw

Fun Fact / Reminder

Did you know...

... that the author Ian Fleming, wrote some of his most well-known James Bond thrillers from his home in Goldeneye, Oracabessa here in Jamaica?

Oh yes! The small but famous James Bond beach is a favourite for many of our island visitors. You can read more about this beach here: https://www.my-island-jamaica.com/james_bond_beach.html

This too, is yet another interesting fact from my 101 Intriguing Facts About Jamaica book.
