Encouraged to blog since 2003, I resisted it…kicking and screaming. But then Ryan Naraine, who gave me enormous opportunities to write for the website he was then editor for CaribbeanCricket.com, sent me an email one day and said “here’s the log in info.” At first, I posted on yamfoot.com. The technical details were handled by Sean ‘Arawak’ Mitchell. Then that domain name was taken over by someone else and I started blogging under yamfoot.net after briefly posting on wordpress and blogger sites.
I guess Ryan knew that I needed an outlet…..an outlet to talk about anything under the sun….well at first, when it was anonymous. Then I tamed it down a bit once people found out who I was.
And who am I? A gaddabout who’s always on some new eating plan, all in my quest to drop some more weight. It’s about 20 pounds now, instead of 60 pounds when I was at my highest of 242 pounds. Eeegad!
And why “Yamfoot”? I asked friends for suggestions and one reminded me that I always used to talk about my “yamfoot” when referring to walking. Size 11W….that’s why.
Oh, I like ….. dots dots dots.
Over the years as life got busy, I haven’t posted as much. I am determined to post at least once per month from 2022. So do check in every so often to see what I am up to, as I journey to my next milestone of retirement.
There is only so many things that you can do in a day so you have to choose what you spend your time doing. I find that if you simplify your activities you get more done.
