Her family is her life. If you are travelling on a bus or train, or even walking along the street and you hear someone humming a song, chances are it is Elisabeth Holyday. She loves singing, loves to listen to Gospel Music, and anytime of the day or night you can hear Gospel music reverberating throughout her home. Her taste in music is not limited to Gospel, but she’s passionate about Gospel music. From Cassette Tapes to VHS, LP’s, CD”s. and DVD’s Elisabeth hoards them all. The same applies to her faith. She could watch Mass five times per day on Television, light candles from sundown on Fridays to sundown on Saturdays, reverence the Sabbath on Saturdays, attend Mass on Sundays , watch all the Television Evangelists on Sundays, and still be faithful to her Pentecostal upbringing, while her home looks like a Catholic Shrine.
Though not an expert on Social Media, now that Elisabeth has written a book, when she is not fiddling with the organ, or reading a book, she is either on Twitter or Facebook, or, she is sharing her publishing journey in a blog. Even though she has told her story and is much more at peace with herself now, Elisabeth is aware of how much she has missed out on life because of her silence, and is intent on savouring every minute of every hour however simple it may be. A lover of nature, lots of sunshine, blue skies and the arts, Elisabeth anxiously looks forward to the days when she will be able to spend more time with relatives left behind in Jamaica who she couldn’t sponsor to Canada; more time with classmates from whom she felt like she was torn due to her misfortunes; and most of all, spend more time where she was born, where precious memories with her darling mother are still very vivid. Their bond was so infectiously close, 16 years after her Mom passed away Elisabeth still feels she has an obligation to do for future generation what her Mom could not afford to do. Christ-like by nature, Elisabeth is ready to move beyond her past and into the future. Sharing her story has liberated her.ver menos
