Let us celebrate the coming into being of our Domestic Violence Bill and get behind our Government to bring all measures to bear in its execution. It is a long road but it should be the desire of each of us to ensure that through this enactment a better way will be found.

The efforts of President Joe Biden and his team to bring together their NATO allies, and other democratic and peace-loving nations must be commended. In his State of the Union Address last Tuesday evening, he pledged support to the people of Ukraine and other non communist countries, to stand with them within the framework of the UN Charter. The border nations are also being supported at the moment with US troops and military supplies.
In many instances, the headlines tell the story. You can look back at 2021.

In conclusion, I feel that the time is rife for Saint Lucian companies, especially those in the Services Sector to invest independently or establish Joint Ventures with their counterparts in Guyana.

In a few days, the lovers of the world will be expressing their love with the exchange of greeting cards, gifts – such as red roses, nightwear, perfumes, and chocolates which are staples at this time, along with dinner dates and stay-overs at hotels. It is definitely a wonderful day of the year. In times like these, all we need is LOVE and you are at liberty to express your LOVE for that special someone publicly and freely on Valentine’s Day. I will not be surprised to see some very intimate embraces in public places as unlike many other countries in the region St. Lucians like to hug and kiss, most times kissing on the forehead and cheeks.
There was a time when the world seemed to be at peace and the little man went about his business not thinking about the cares of life. Almost living the Bible way where we are exhorted not to worry what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind (Luke 12:29). Today, it is so much different when everyone is having anxious moments, thinking about what will happen next. We are all acquainted with the phrase this too shall pass. Many of us in today’s world are tired of waiting for the passing of the storm that has besieged our nations. However, those of us who are grounded in the scriptures are confident that our best days are ahead of us.
Scammers will become more aggressive as the world responds to the effects of COVID 19 and its variants as the economies of nations further tighten and their leaders grapple with inflation. Greed will cause many to disregard the need to be caring and use every opportunity to exploit others. Secure what you have and only seek to explore legitimate investment opportunities. Keep away from get-rich-quick schemes. Be careful how you engage with strangers online. They can be phishing to capture your information. Do not fall prey to scammers.
Staying with politics, it is Prime Minister Mia Mottley, who won the snap elections by a landslide, winning once again all 30 seats. This feat confirms the statement – you attack your opponents when they are most vulnerable. I saw it coming, even though it is said that our people don’t know what they want. The Lady is a BOSS! Her timing was perfect. Congratulations to the Barbados Labour Party!
