      <image:title>New Editions - Put Down The Phone - My 16 year old daughter called out to me from across the room. “Hey mom.”  I barely looked up from my phone. Another intriguing reel was on Instagram. “Hmmm?” “Mom, you’re really scaring me.” I finally looked up. Her forehead was wrinkled. “You’re always on your phone.” With eyes glazed over, I recalled how the tables had turned. During the pandemic, it was I who kept telling her to get off the phone. ‘I can literally see the damage it’s causing. It’s not doing you any good,’ I’d tell her several times a day. I looked at the phone in my hand. It was hard to put it down and be in the moment.  “You’re right,” I said, putting the phone face down on the sofa. I had to be honest with my daughter.  “I don’t know how this happened, but I’m addicted to scrolling. I feel like it happened so suddenly. I think it’s not only because it’s entertaining. It’s because it’s distracting and I’m scared.” “Scared of what?” “Of everything. Of making the wrong decisions, of facing the world, of not having enough money or time left, of going into work and not doing what I really feel I’m meant to do. Scared that I never get a moment’s rest from the thoughts that constantly plague me. The thoughts never stop. Scrolling makes those thoughts stop. Even if just for a while.” “Me too,” she said.  “The worst thing is, I feel my vocabulary and my memory slipping. I feel the fragmentation of my brain. I can’t focus anymore. I haven’t even read a book for the sheer pleasure of it in ages and when I try, I turn on the TV instead. I’ve stopped writing. I know it’s the phone.” She came and sat beside me and we sighed.  “Sometimes I wish I were a teenager in the eighties like you were,” she said. “Can’t lie. It was great.” We sighed again and then I made the decision to wean myself off the phone. It was getting ridiculous. I regarded my phone as if it held all the answers. I did some research on what the scrolling is really doing to us (yes, it is messing with our minds, our moods and our moments).</image:title>

      <image:title>New Editions - Can We Do Anything About the State of the World?</image:title>
      <image:caption>The relationship between the US and Canadian governments is strained. From my doom scrolling on social media, I’ve read that some Canadians wouldn’t mind Canada becoming the 51st state. Others say ‘never' and that this is highly unlikely, but history shows us that the most unimaginable events are possible.  I remember when I was learning about Canadian history and the war of 1812, I used to think that since this happened in the past, it could happen again.  My imagination would take me on a frightening journey of this possible war, wondering how we would navigate such an event, since many of us have friends and family on both sides of the border. Without going into the long and detailed history of the war of 1812 between the US and Britain (which included Canada), the US invaded Canada several times. Interestingly, the origins of this war started with the conflict in Europe that caused Britain to adopt measures that angered the United States. At the time that I was learning about Canadian history, I was teaching English to newcomers. Many of my students were refugees. I remember wondering, “what if something unimaginable happened like a war between the US and Canada and we became refugees? Where would we go or be sent? How would it be to start over in a country where maybe we didn’t speak the language and couldn’t get jobs to provide for our families? Would my family even survive such an ordeal?” I looked around my classroom at my students. They didn’t control the events that led them to refugee status. Voting didn’t matter. Standing up and making your voice heard didn’t matter. The leaders in power dictated the course of history. If it happened there, it could happen here. If it already happened in 1812, it could happen again.</image:caption>

      <image:title>New Editions - Can We Do Anything About the State of the World?</image:title>
      <image:caption>This doesn’t mean one shouldn’t vote, be an active participant in one’s community and try to make the world a better place. It means that sometimes we really have no control over the decisions that are being made around us. It means that when we agonize over what might happen and what seems to be happening, our bodies go into a state of fear (the fight, flight or freeze response) and it leaves us exhausted. Yes, we are affected by tariffs, job losses, economic instability and the possibility that the world as we know it might change drastically. At the same time, we have to look after ourselves more than ever. Stress physically affects the body with headaches, muscle pain, chest pain, fatigue, stomach upsets, sleep problems and getting sick due to weaker immune systems. Stress also affects us mentally with anxiety, lack of focus and motivation, memory problems, feeling overwhelmed, anger and sadness or depression.   I’m not saying we should ignore the news, nor stop standing up for causes important to us. I’m saying guard where your attention goes. Find time to socialize in person with friends and family. Do things you love. Continue to live, improving your skill set and employability. Pretend you live in a world where smart phones don’t exist for at least a few hours a day. Go outside. Walk. Hike. Run. Play cards. Sew. Sail. Scuba dive. Write poetry. Build a train set. Make a new recipe. Connect with friends. What I’m saying is, live. Live like today is the only day you’ve got.</image:caption>

      <image:title>New Editions - The Importance of RTFQ</image:title>
      <image:caption>We knew at once that Mr. Young was different. For one, he treated us like we were actual people (meaning he didn’t judge, discipline, reprimand, scold, berate, warn or make us feel inadequate for not knowing the material). His words emboldened us rather than frightened or restricted us. This was so long ago that I can’t remember what we actually talked about except that when we left his place, we were light-hearted and ready to take on not only Accounting, but the world. We believed we would pass Accounting and we believed we handle this confusing thing called life. We offered up our teenage problems and he guided us. He shared his life stories and we, enraptured, listened intently. He offered us a small glass of red wine each and told us that we could master anything we put our minds to. My friend Jo told me that Mr. Young was the only person in her life that made her feel worthy and capable. He was the only person who made her feel smart and good enough. For me, he made me feel that I didn’t have to be afraid of the numbers that swam before my eyes. All we had to do, he said, was, “RTFQ!” If we did this, we could solve anything. To this day, I remember RTFQ. READ THE F…. QUESTION. Read the full/f…king question! We laughed gleefully, but he was serious. If you don’t focus on the full question, you’ll miss important details. Take your time, don’t rush it, read it in full, answer thoughtfully. And when our minds jumped from conversation to conversation, from the lesson we were supposed to be learning to the social, he’d gently pull us back to the task at hand.  We never wanted to miss these tutoring sessions, what we call in Jamaica extra lessons.  Our time with Mr. Young was too precious and valuable. When we took our CXC Accounting exams, we passed with flying colors. It was at 16 that the thought came into my head: “What if I’m not really dumb at math and numbers? What if everyone just needs the right teacher?” I’ve held on to this belief in my adult life as a parent and a former English as a Second Language teacher, setting the stage for learning, by instilling the mantra: you can do it. Of course you can. If one way isn’t working, try another way, another method, another teacher. And as always, remember RTFQ!</image:caption>

      <image:title>New Editions - The Importance of RTFQ - Mr. Young is at the forefront of my mind right now. My Aunt D told me Mr. Young wasn’t doing so well. He was in hospital in Jamaica. I was visiting Jamaica and wanted to see him, even if he wasn’t responsive. I had to wait though, as I had caught Covid and was waiting for a negative test. Unfortunately, it was too late. Mr. Young died on Monday morning, July 15, 2024.  My aunt called to tell me. I immediately called Jo. Since I’d left Jamaica over 20 years ago and hadn’t seen Mr. Young in a long time, I remember him as young, vibrant, with that welcoming smile that put you at ease. I was 16 again in his house, laughing and learning while his five-year-old son watched from the hallway. As I sobbed into the phone, Jo reminded me that Mr. Young lived a good long life. She had kept in touch with him all these years. He always sent bananas for her, especially when she was sick. I felt sad that immigration takes one away from all that is familiar and comforting, takes us away from the people who we love the most and the landscape that’s most familiar. I cried for roads not taken, yet felt solace that I had Jo with me to reminisce, to fill in the gaps, and to reflect and ultimately recover. The lessons Mr. Young imparted would remain a part of us, shaping us into the adults and mothers we are today: resilient in the face of life’s challenges.</image:title>

      <image:title>New Editions - The Importance of RTFQ - In this fast paced life, RTFQ applies even when the situation is not a question. I was in Jamaica, sunburnt like never before. My skin was cracked and crinkled like an alligator. I sent my daughter to the pharmacy to buy a good moisturizing lotion. She came back with a bottle and for days we rubbed it into our skin wondering why it was so thick and pasty and hard to apply. As my skin got dryer and dryer, I decided to take a good look at the bottle. Turns out all this time, we’d been rubbing body wash into our already dry and damaged skin.  “But the woman in the pharmacy said everything on this shelf is lotion and Auntie examined it too,” said my daughter in surprise. “I guess I should have looked at it more closely to make sure.” “Yes, we all should have, I said looking at my damaged skin. “In this case, nobody paid attention to the details. No one applied RTFQ!!”</image:title>

      <image:title>New Editions - Music: A Generational Thing - I remember back in the eighties when I lived in Orlando, Florida and my father would come into the family room where our eyes were glued to MTV.  “Turn off that crap,” he’d say, “and go do something constructive.” He thought MTV was going to scar us for life. Further back, rock n’ roll was considered the music of the devil. I pondered two questions: does music actually get worse with time? What happens to us as we get older that we dislike newer music?</image:title>
