Summer = the Active and Legacy Building Zone

Posted on July 19, 2019July 19, 2019 by Pulse of Barbados

I know, I know…I haven’t posted in almost a month because…life. There is really no excuse for not posting and I know people have been checking because I see the regional Google Analytics.

Posted on February 18, 2019February 18, 2019 by Pulse of Barbados

Many of us are on the heels of the annual designated day to celebrate loved ones, particularly in the romantic sense.
