Victoria Sarne 2019 Update.


More about the Author:Professionally, she writes copy; ghost writes speeches and statements; press releases and publicity material. she has completed writing a biography and more recently her own very full autobiography. She writes a bi-weekly column for The Tribune newspaper in Nassau, Bahamas.
She was excited and challenged from 2017 to 2018 to have been involved in more than one medical/techno project and community mentoring project: The HEALin and SingularityU Nassau Chapter - and despite the challenge of writing in unfamiliar genres has safely added new expertise in writing medical, legal, technological, academic, design thinking articles and other  material, to her portfolio.
2019 means more freelancing and consulting as she partners with Insight Stage, a platform for mentoring and guidance in life skills both emotionally and spiritually. Putting her event planning, creativity and communication skills together to create their first event for the year with Speed Mentoring: 7 tables, 7 topics, 7 leaders and invitees had 15 minutes at each table. It was a huge success with delegates asking for longer periods on each topic. Who could ask for a more positive result than that? The next event will be, as requested, a long version of two of the topics with two of the table leaders: "Meet Your Mentor x Two".

Her personal creative work includes publishing six books of poetry and being published in various publications: The University of the West Indies annual literary journals; an Anthology of Caribbean poetry for Carifesta X; Womanspeak - a journal of poetry and art by women in the Caribbean and will have two new poems published in POUI this year 2018. Her own memoir is currently being evaluated by a publisher. fingers crossed!

Have You Cleaned Your Windows Lately?

 A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood. The next morning while they were eating breakfast, the young woman saw a neighbour hanging the washing outside. “That laundry is not very clean; she doesn’t know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap”.   Her husband looked on remaining silent. Every time her neighbour hung her washing out to dry, the young woman made the same comments. A month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband “look she’s finally learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?” The husband replied, “I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows”. This amusing analogy reflects daily life. How often do we see things through our own narrow perspective and rush to judgement? What we see when watching others depends on the clarity of the window through which we look. We can see this in almost any ordinary situation. How frequently do eye-witness accounts of the sam...

A Book of Poetry

JUST ME -  A BOOK OF POETRY Acknowledgement: I am who I am because of my children who changed me into a woman and fulfilled that most basic of needs; the many friends and strangers who touched me as they passed through my life and to the special influence  of those who still walk beside me even though they are no longer here - my Jewish grandmother for whom I was named and my brave and unassuming mother - who both unconsciously showed me how to be steadfast when chaos reigns; to the ghosts of ancestors, some famous, some notorious and all colourful; and to the unique times that shaped me. Because of them, I continue to enjoy the journey - all of it. 2014. Refugee. Sunlight pierces shadow mingles mellow in the garden, highlighting hibiscus - home for hummingbirds, only yards way from teeming traffic and feet pounding dreams into the debris on the street. Watching from that silent, inner space I wonder then whose plan it was to create such beauty from ...
Not for the Faint of Heart Love is not for the faint of heart. To allow love,  answering its only need takes courage and a willingness to surrender blindly to the journey full of rocks and stony places. To stumble but not falter certain that love is a constant  which will carry us to safety, a straight line to the beloved  our ultimate destination.
