"No One Is You. And THAT Is Your Power."
- Dave Grohl.
A totally vulnerable, deeply real and delightfully humorous story, set in Jamaica, New York, and Italy. “What The Hell Am I
Supposed To Do With My Life?!” takes you on a journey from depression and anxiety to peace, purpose, and magic in today’s
modern world. A mash-up of teachings from Buddha, Jesus,
Oprah, Marie Forleo and much more. This book is a CliffNotes of spirituality's greatest hits, wrapped up in a relatable true tale.
Enjoy going on an adventure of selfexploration, Eat-Pray-Love style, and come out the other side more inspired, self-aware
and clearer on what’s up ahead of you and what steps you’ll need to take next for your own journey!

Long live the calling you feel in your soul! 
This book will help you answer it!


A word from Krystal Titania Chong
As a lover of Eastern Spirituality my soul was instantly connected to the teachings of Buddha, Lau Tzu and Eckart Tolle. But as a Type A personality, I had some difficulty with applying the elusiveness of their teachings. I mean ya, it’s beautiful poetry, but: How exactly does it apply to my life? What was it saying I should do? What will happen to me when I make this leap? I knew I felt an emptiness that I didn’t know how to fill. I knew that more money or success or recognition would not quench the desperate thirst I had. I had to know, “What is the reason or the purpose for my life? What am I supposed to do with it?” I mean hello – the answer cannot be “Make money. Spend money. Die.” Please God no! Big lol!
So – I nose-dive-style face planted off a big friggin’ cliff, leaving a dream job to find what it was I was searching for – this elusive thing that would make me feel fulfilled. AND – drumroll - I found it! And I friggin’ love it! And it’s better than any drug ever made! And the best part is – this path – that so many spiritual teachers and others who have found peace before walk – CAN be charted. My relatable modern day stories are intertwined with teachings from old and new spiritual teachers, to give the reader a better more visceral understanding of these philosophies.

The annual race staged by the Jamaica Standard Products Company Limited is one of the largest and most challenging yet popular road races in Jamaica. It starts just above Windalco’s overhead bridge at Williamsfield, up the steeper parts of the Winston Jones Highway, down the Kendal and Shooters Hill stretch and ends at roundabout near the Kirkvine Windalco’s headquarters.  This is a race of strength, stamina and endurance – by no means for the faint of heart!

Earthkry Tribute to Reggae Month

The National Gallery of Jamaica is pleased to announce the Marcia Biggs: Impressions of Life exhibition, which will open at National Gallery West at the Montego Bay Cultural Centre on Sam Sharpe Square on Sunday, December 18, 2016. The exhibition explores the work of the popular Montego Bay-based artist Marcia Biggs, through examples borrowed mainly from private and corporate collections in Western Jamaica. The opening function will feature a performance by singer-songwriter Della Manley.

Marcia Biggs was born in 1960 in Montego Bay, where she was based for most of her life. She was trained at the Mico Teachers’ College, and she was tutored by Cecil Cooper and served as an apprentice with Barrington Watson. She taught art at the Herbert Morrison High School from 1983 to 1987, after which she became a full-time artist. She participated in several of the National Gallery of Jamaica’s Annual National exhibitions and had noted solo exhibitions at the Bay Gallery in Montego Bay and the Bolivar Gallery in Kingston. Marcia Biggs was also a long-standing member of the Western Jamaica Society of Fine Arts.

Marcia Biggs —or Biggs, as she was affectionately known—died unexpectedly at age 38 in 1998 but left behind a significant and diverse body of realist oil paintings, watercolours and drawings. Most of her subjects were fairly conventional, and included garden scenes and flowers, architectural details, landscapes, still lifes, and portraits—many of them inspired by the Montego Bay environment—but she also produced more daring male and female nudes and erotica. While she was a technically proficient oil painter and watercolourist, Biggs’ drawing skills were truly exceptional, especially when applied to the human form. 

Singer-songwriter Della Manley moved from Montego Bay to Canada when she was 15 years old and attended York University. She subsequently lived in Cuba for four years, with her husband Joseph Manley, and studied at the University of Havana. She returned to Jamaica in 1983 and served a long apprenticeship, performing low-key sets in front of small audiences in Kingston. In 1997 she completed her debut album, the critically acclaimed “Ashes on the Window Sill.” Della Manley’s musical influences, some of them obvious and others harder to detect, include Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Joan Armatrading, Carly Simon, Cat Stevens, Joni Mitchell and Janis Ian.

The exhibition opening of Marcia Biggs: Impressions of Life on December 18, 2016 will be from 4 to 6 pm and the artist’s sister, Dr Grace-Ann Biggs-Allen, will be the guest speaker. The opening function is free and open to the public and an illustrated catalogue will be available for sale. Marcia Biggs: Impressions of Life will continue at National Gallery West until February 11, 2017.
