You may be wondering what a white girl is doing writing about Caribbean Culture? It´s a fascinating journey actually. During my 25 years in the airline industry I found myself drawn to the calming,serene waters of the Caribbean Sea. Every opportunity I got, I headed from my hometown of Dallas, Texas to different islands in the West Indies. St.Martin was always one of my favorites but quite frankly, I never met an island I didn´t like.

I practiced the Laws of Attraction by committing to a vision of living on a beautiful island with a view of the sea. Many years later, I am living in Saint Lucia with my husband who is a native of the island. We have a nice little vegetable farm on a hill overlooking the sea. Dreams really do come true!

I am unique in this small farming community as I am frequently called "femme blanc" by the local children. Femme blance means "white lady" in the local Patois language. There aren´t very many caucasions around here save the tourists. But I don´t mind and I take every opportunity to learn about the traditions, language, politics, food, spirituality, music, arts and culture.

For these reasons I requested to be Editor of Caribbean Culture. This will be an opportunity to share my learning experiences with you and hopefully in return you will share yours with me. I look forward to discussing these topics in my future forums, articles and newsletter.
