I am Annelise Lords, and I am from Jamaica. I love to think, walk, write, create, and cook. I enjoyed working with children and volunteered as a Teacher’s Aide for five years. That was the happiest five years of my life. The best things I learned in life I learned from children.

I use beautiful flowers and anything else I can find to create what I want, linking them to my stories and demanding a smile before inspiring you. I have been writing for over twenty years and am sitting on a slush pile of 5 complete but unedited works of fiction.

Plus, several hundred short inspiring stories on Medium, Vocal Media, News Break, and Teal Feed. I enjoy being authentic and natural with my life, what I eat, how I live, and my decisions.

As a child growing up, I had a brilliant creative mind. No one knew or cared. My talents lay dormant awaiting the right mindset moment when I was more mature, more experienced, and ready to face what lay ahead. I unconsciously applied my creative and innovative ideas to my life and living.

I owned and operated my own business in my country for several years. I worked as a Caregiver to the elderly for many years, where I learned patience and an appreciation for life and living. Learning mode is always on, so I learn something new daily.

I am an introvert and am more comfortable behind the scenes. I also hate taking pictures but realized that hiding would reveal more of me than I want you to know.

My second dream is to become a published author. It’s been a long journey. Life showed me that some dreams need more time and must be nurtured a little longer for us. I keep my dream alive while keeping a day job. I must eat. Lol. Our dreams sometimes test us for many years while strengthening and preparing us for what lies ahead.

It’s just making sure you don’t give up.

Thanking Dr. Gabriella Korosi, Dr. Preeti Singh, Vidya Sury, Collecting Smiles, and Sharing Randomly, the readers, writers, and editors of this platform, for this opportunity to be a part of something amazing. I wished success to all writers involved.
