Sometimes the Cry for Help Is Quiet: Please Watch. Please Care. Please Act.

I’m asking you—not scrolling-you, but human-you—to pause for a moment.

Watch this video.
Not halfway. Not while multitasking.
Watch it properly.

Because too often, we don’t know what someone is carrying until it’s too late.

We say “they seemed fine.”
We say “I had no idea.”
We say “I wish I had known.”

But the truth is harder to swallow:
Sometimes the signs were there—we just didn’t lean in close enough.

This woman is someone’s daughter. Someone’s friend. Someone’s everything.
And right now, she needs help. Not judgment. Not gossip. Not silence.

I’m writing this with a heavy heart.

On 22 December 2025, I lost my brother Colin.
He will be laid to rest on 10 January.
That pain doesn’t clock out. It doesn’t fade because the calendar flips. It stays with you—in the quiet moments, in the unanswered calls, in the “if only” thoughts that come when it’s already done.

And I’ll be honest:
I really don’t want to lose anyone else.

Not because help wasn’t offered.
Not because people assumed “someone else will handle it.”
Not because we were too busy, too uncomfortable, or too distracted to care.

We live in a world where people post memes about mental health but hesitate to actually help when it’s right in front of them. Where we double-tap sympathy but stop short of action.

This is one of those moments where action matters.

If you can help financially—please do.
If you can help emotionally—reach out.
If you can help by sharing—share with intention, not curiosity.
If all you can do is pray—do it sincerely.

But please… do something.

Because sometimes survival comes down to one person choosing to show up.
One message. One call. One act of kindness.
One reminder that someone is not alone.

Let’s not be the people who say “we didn’t know” when the truth is we saw it and kept scrolling.

If you’re watching this and you’re struggling too—this is your sign: you matter. Your pain is valid. And help is not weakness.

Check on your people.
Check on the quiet ones.
Check on the strong ones.
And when someone shows you they’re hurting—believe them.

Life is already hard.
Let’s not make it lonelier.

Please help this special lady in any way you can.
Today—not tomorrow.

The Quiet Crisis No One Wants to Admit: What Massive Fee Hikes and Wage Changes Will Really Do to Cayman

Image
Cayman is standing on a knife’s edge right now, and most people don’t even realize it. Everyone heard about the massive fee hikes the government just announced — the ones that target non-Caymanians, employers, and key industries across the board. And yes, the minimum wage increase sounds great on paper. But when you zoom out and put all the pieces together, you see something terrifying: We’re about to break the very engine that keeps this country running. And when the engine goes, the entire vehicle — economy, businesses, Caymanian jobs, cost of living, everything — goes down with it. Let’s talk honestly about what’s coming. No sugar-coating. No politics. Just reality. 1. Businesses Are Already Walking on Thin Ice — These Hikes Push Them Off the Cliff The new fees aren’t small bumps. They are massive , sometimes jumping by 400–800% overnight: Driving licenses for non-Caymanians leaping from $75 to $600 . Business licenses for companies with non-Caymanian interests jumping fr...

Pot, Poker, and Priorities: When a Community Bets Against Its Own Future

Image
There’s a mind-boggling trend happening in some communities: a baffling choice to legalize marijuana and gambling while rejecting or indefinitely delaying infrastructure projects like cruise ship facilities that could bring sustainable, long-term economic growth. One has to pause and ask — where did this type of thought process even come from? How did the priorities get so inverted? Let’s call it what it is: a bet on instant gratification over generational progress. The Economics of Escapism Marijuana and gambling are often marketed as economic stimulants — easy tax revenue, job creation, tourism magnets. But these industries primarily cater to escapism . They thrive not on productivity but on indulgence. And while there may be short-term wins in licensing fees or increased consumer spending, they are also tied to social costs: addiction, crime, healthcare strain, and a distracted workforce. Now, compare that to a cruise facility — a gateway to tourism dollars, entrepreneurship, cu...

The first Handshake- Hee hee

Image
In my last post, I shared how powerful it feels to be recognized by someone when traveling — that moment when a familiar face turns a sea of strangers into a sense of belonging. It’s a reminder that we are all nobody until we are somebody to someone. But there’s another kind of recognition that carries just as much impact — meeting someone for the first time in person after years of only chatting online or connecting over video calls. In today’s world, so many of our professional relationships start digitally. We exchange messages on LinkedIn, collaborate on projects over Zoom, or brainstorm ideas through endless email threads. Trust, rapport, and even friendship are built in these virtual spaces long before we ever share the same room. And then one day, it happens. That handshake. That first face-to-face conversation with someone you’ve “known” for years. Suddenly, this person isn’t just a name in your inbox or a voice on a call — they’re real, present, and invested. This ...
