I blog every day. Honestly. Not here, I’ll admit, and this, my very own personal blog that I created with my two little hands and love to bits gets ignored too often while I’m working my fingers to the nub on the pro blogs.
This month, all this changes, however, as I dedicate myself to the concept of NaBloPoMo … National Blog Posting Month.
Although I’d love to kick this off with something fun or focused, I can’t. I’ve used up all my energy already on posts about adoption and such and now have to address what’s been too close all day …
Sometime last night a lovely woman, a kind and pleasant neighbor, was brutally murdered in her home in Anse La Mouche.
Violent crime happens rarely here, and there is something even more horrid, more shocking about murder in a place as seemingly tranquil as Seychelles.
Everyone on this end of the island is in shock. Many are terrified. Most are both.
A collection of my short stories:
I'm in this one, too ...
And I'm in here, as well ...

Oh sh…. 😦
Sorry, this is horrid and sad 😦
Any leads to the murderer?
It happens quite often over here by now, too many people, to many restrictions 😦
I’m sorry & a bit at loss of words 😦
Thanks, Nicole.
Apparently they have someone in custody tonight, but who knows what that means.
I’m at a loss for words, too.
For some reason this just makes me sick 😦
We just watched a movie today “Steel toes”, maybe it has something to do with it.
Reading about rape and murder every day in the paper here doesn’t really help either, I guess.
Sometimes I wonder how sick this world will get in the next few years 😦
P.S.: (Am not good at words tonight)
I hope they get that person 😦 !
That is too scary. be safe.
I am so sorry to hear that. You are right — We expect to hear about brutal murders in New York City but not on tranquil islands.

Sandra I am so terribly sorry, how awful. I know I was completely shaken and out of it a few months ago when I walked outside to see our street lined with police. I later learned that an 18 month old baby had been beaten to death by the mother’s boyfriend, I was shocked and scared out of my mind, as of that point they had not caught him, but did so later that day.
Hug your babies and keep them close. I will be thinking about you all!

I am so sorry to hear this dreadful news! Yes this is not the Seychelles I know!!! The worst I heard of was tourists having their camera, scuba gear stollen…fights about girl/boy friends being unfaithful…people not honouring their debts…but that was it.
You are all in our thoughts!
