Conditions for Restoration
What do you really need to recharge your batteries?

I’m writing this week’s edition from the stunning, deeply restorative haven of Geejam in Portland, Jamaica — a parish I’ve never visited before. The intention? A few days of rest… and writing.
I even put my Out of Office on.
For a whole 48 hours.
Did it work? Not at all. A small act of rebellion — against myself.
Note: The islands in the Caribbean are often split into parishes, like counties in the UK. There are 14 parishes in Jamaica, I was born in St. Andrew.
