HAPPY NEW YEAR Suga Fam!

I will share with you a few things I had to remember moving forward into the New Year

• There are always things to be thankful for
• It could always be worse
• If you feel alone, you really are, because only YOU can be responsible for charting your own course. So how do YOU want to be remembered?
• Never Give Up …especially on something you can’t go a day without thinking about – Winston Churchill. • Show appreciation to those who Believe in YOU and those who Love YOU

Thanks to everyone for keeping up with Suga Lifestyle! Looking forward to growing with you and taking Brand Jamaica to di World!

Wishing you all a year of Happinness, Good Health and Prosperity. Cheers!

XoXo,
Suga

Suga’s #twirlforserena at The Liguanea Club, New Kingston. Jamaica

#twirlforserena as she could hit the Court for the last time today!

Serena Williams is scheduled to hit the court this evening at 6PM versus World #2 Anett Kontaveit!

Will tonight be the last time we see the G.O.A.T play in a Singles Grand Slam Tournament?

Either way, many of us are hoping to enjoy another night of Vintage Serena Tennis.
If you or your kids play, have them join #twirlforserena

Go Serenaaaa!
