Gems of Brooklyn
This is for lovers of great food. I was strolling through Clinton Hill this Sunday; specifically Myrtle avenue and walked into Sans Souci, a Jamaican restuarant with a touch of Italian, French, American, Chinese and Creole cuisine. All Rasta Pasta lovers know how monumental it is when another restaurant is found, so my advice is to go give this gem a look-see. Happy eating!

Ambition Over Adversity
Take one’s adversity
Learn from their misfortune
Learn from their pain
Believe in something
Believe in yourself

Now blossom into wealth
