Some People Come Into Your Life for a Lifetime!
It is often said that people come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.
Today's spotlight is on one of those rare individuals who belongs in the lifetime category Marjorie Leyden Kirton. For many years, Marjorie has been a pillar of strength within the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission and a valued friend whose support has touched our lives in meaningful ways.
In my first book, From Homelessness To A Healing Haven, I dedicated part of Chapter 8, "Open Doors and Destiny Helpers," to recognizing individuals whose encouragement and support helped shape our journey.
Marjorie was one of those people.
Not only was she present at my first book launch in 2024, but she also graciously served as Master of Ceremonies, helping to make the occasion truly memorable.
So it came as no surprise when she informed me that she would be attending the Miss Westmoreland Festival Queen Coronation and wanted to stop by the farm for her first visit since Hurricane Melissa.
True to her word, Marjorie arrived yesterday, accompanied by her friend Sher from Llandilo, Westmoreland. Together they experienced what many visitors now come to witness: Resilience in Action at Bluefields Organic Farm
Their visit included: A guided farm tour, a taste of Bluefields Organic Honey, meeting the author, securing signed copies of 'Give Thanks For Life' and for Sher, a signed copy of 'From Homelessness To A Healing Haven'
As I often say:
π One book tells how the dream was built.
π The other tells how the dream survived the storm.
Moments like these remind us that while buildings may be damaged and trees may fall, relationships built on kindness, encouragement and genuine friendship continue to stand strong.
Thank you, Marjorie and Sher, for visiting and for being part of this ongoing journey.
Is there someone that has been a lifetime blessing in your life?
