Sheryl Crow was not kidding: “Everyday IS a winding road!” (I think I quote that song a lot). In the last few weeks, I’ve been impacted once more by the power of choice. On one hand, when you are faced with a choice, it is easy to choose when you know your values and you have …

I grew up around a wood workshop and my dad was patient enough to let me “help him” several times. I love pretty much anything that looks like, smells like, or is made out of wood. When I read Luke 6:41 for the first time, it left a big impression for I was well familiar with this …
I love bugs, snakes, and spiders (especially tarantulas!). Roaches only make me scream because, um, well, you know, they’re gross. My phobia, fear, or pet peeve wasn’t heights, the dark, or tight spaces. I was afraid of driving my car! Don’t get me wrong…I love my car. I even think I look kinda cute in …
Today, I’d like to share a little poem I read in my tween years in Spanish that guided my path for decades now. The power’s all in your mind: If you think you are beaten, you are. If you think you dare not, you don’t. If you like to win but think you can’t, it’s …

Here’s the story: An anthropologist proposed a game to African tribe kids. He put a basket …
Thomas Alva Edison once said “what a man’s mind can create, man’s character can control.” Our Divine Nature allows us to deliberately take control of our emotions and to consciously direct our thoughts toward anything that is: True Honest Just Pure Lovely Good report Virtue Praiseworthy Acceptable Perfect (Philippians 4:8–9 , Romans 12:2) For 30 …
I was catching up with an old friend and I happened to mention my life story being featured on the “SuperHuman Performance” book series. He had always joked with me being some sort of superwoman or super mom. There’s some truth to that. The word “human” means “earthly being.” I used to hold what they …
Last week was one of those weeks. You know, the kind in which you feel like you just want to GO HOME… Well, maybe that’s just me. With my whole family living in the Dominican Republic, both of my brothers having a birthday, and my best friend’s birthday on top of that, you may understand …
As I start writing this post, I don’t know where I am really going. I may surprise you…and myself. I have recently been attracting a lot of information about marriages that last over 50 years. It seems like a formula and not a matter of being “soul-mates.” I saw a cute picture in which the …
