This week, we are proposing that you reflect on how you can contribute to Haiti’s prosperity. A lot of us are tired of hearing, or reading, about Haiti’s poverty. It will take a strong commitment on our part to eradicate the mindset that’s keeping us enslaved. We have to start stretching our muscles and our minds. What will it take for us to act? What will take for you to act. Think about it…

Have a wonderful 4th of July. We congratulate all Americans on a victory that allowed them, over time, to make life easier for people from other lands as well.

Thirty-three (33) years later, they are still busy producing some of the best material that can enhance Haiti’s visibility in the music world.
Magnum Band is the epitome of perseverance and patience. Some of their texts reflect just that.
We thank all the members of Magnum, current and former, for the wonderful gift. We encourage Magnum Band to “kenbe la” and to continue to caress our ears with their delightful sound.
Best wishes, Magnum.

Note: Please click on the audio button (the arrow above Audio MP3) to listen to some of Magnum’s tunes. We had to make a selection, of course.
How about purchasing a Magnum CD this weekend to encourage the band?

I don’t know what happened to the Haitian spirit, but, as Haitians, we used to value the highest and the best in life. These days, a lot of us keep one eye open on what we want to accomplish and close the other one on practices that we find to be unproductive, yet familiar. In everything that we do, the question to pose ourselves is, “Is this the best that I can do?” We should ask ourselves the same question a few days later because “our best” varies. With increased knowledge comes increased mastery, generally. It is therefore necessary to revisit our views, our recent actions, and our aspirations. At any moment in life, we have to leave behind what no longer serves us, what no longer works.
MyKasika.com’s main interest in contributing to the Haitian renaissance is to assist in the rebuilding of Haiti’s greatness, one Haitian at a time. Great personal development engenders collective greatness.
It is time for Haitians to shine again. We can do it if we focus on doing, and giving, our best.

Compassion is in the center of collective living; we must be able to reach out to others with sincerity and tenderness. Events do not become significant because they happen to us: we should be able to understand someone who is grieving for a departed family member, for example, because we know the person is looking for solace. When love and respect are present, joy and contentment are not far behind.

The podcast is in Haitian Creole. If you don’t speak the language, you have picked up a few words by now, right?

Have a blessed weekend.
