Susan George and My Things & Other..........
In challenging times of late, raising funds for charities has become an almost impossible ask but it doesn’t mean the small enterprises Lasting Life support, need us less, in fact quite the opposite.
“My Things and Others” is a new idea that already seems to have captured the imagination of many and our opening weeks exceeded expectation! We have a myriad of exciting items on sale from clothes to signed celebrity prints, artefacts, horse photographs and collectables.
It’s been hard work in organising but fun too, especially going to the mailbox each day to find gifts and surprises that aren’t all from Amazon but friends who have been extraordinary in their support. It only took a phone call or letter and the response from everyone “what can I do to help?”
So please continue to spread the word amongst your friends and if you feel you have something to add to our collection, contact us about sending! Perhaps something you may have mistakenly bought or would just love to give us and perhaps write a line or two about?
We’ve already a shop at home that because of my extensive wardrobe and travel over the years, is practically full and of course I have many special things from my late husband Simon, that now and only now seems the right time and right reason to part with.
In the next few weeks we will be adding a “special items for auction” page for some extremely unique collectables, so be sure to check in with us to see..
Our hope that this website will be the gift needed to help us help others in a time of need and from me and my trustees at Lasting Life huge thanks and enjoy…….

Miss Pat: My Reggae Music Journey
by Patricia Chin
with Anicee Gaddis, John Masouri,
Alex Lee, James "Jazz" Goring
A memoir on the life and work of reggae icon Patricia "Miss Pat" Chin, with quotes and remembrances from luminaries including former Jamaican Prime Minister, the late Edward Seaga, Chris Blackwell, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Marcia Griffiths, and the late producer Bunny “Striker” Lee among others.
Presented with many never seen, artist and family photos and original illustrations by the late Michael Thompson and Maria Papaefstathiou, the book’s designer.
My Reggae Music Journey spans six decades of music history, from the rise and development of Randy's Record Mart, the famed music shop and recording studio in downtown Kingston, Jamaica, founded with her late husband Vincent 'Randy' Chin in 1958, to the family's migration to New York City, where in the late 1970s, VP Record Distributors was established.
The book shares personal insights about the rise of the Jamaican music industry, and nuggets of wisdom on business and life. Through decades of transition Miss Pat has triumphed over adversity, both personally and professionally.
My Reggae Music Journey testifies to the indelible spirit that is Patricia Chin.

How To Be Brave by Emilia Adler
How To Be Brave
by Emilia Adler
I’m Emilia Adler and I’m sixteen, from London. I’ve suffered with mental health issues since 2016 and also have ASD (Autism).
I want to help people and share my story, and my amazing family and friends support me in every way possible.
I wouldn’t call myself brave. It’s hard to say that about myself when I feel I’ve been so weak. I think you’d say that about yourself too.
It’s not everyday someone asks you to describe yourself and you say ‘I’m brave’.
But actually, we all are, we are all so incredibly brave.
