I was a really young girl when I first read Luke 22, in the New Testament. The account of Jesus foretelling Peter’s denial really impacted me and it’s a teaching I always ponder about in my own life. Although I believe myself to be mostly confident and committed, I tell myself “You should never think …

“Why can’t you be more like your sister?” That may have been the question that got me started on the path to comparing myself. Several decades later, I still don’t know the answer and I still can’t succeed at being more like my sister, my brother, my cousins, or anyone else. I can only be who …
There are two major driving forces in the world and these two forces impact every single decision you and I make. Many call these driving forces pain and pleasure, but at the root, these driving forces are love and fear. Fear impacts every decision we make, and in some cases, fear can be the sole …

“Oh, I wish I knew that back when…” We beat ourselves up because we weren’t a little smarter and maybe didn’t make the best choice in the past. I’ve felt that sting a lot when it comes to car shopping. When I bought my first car, I discovered what people mean when they talk about …

Each year on April 30, it’s El Dia del Niño celebration across Mexico and in many Latin American countries- Children’s Day. Though it’s not an official holiday (children go to school and parents go to work), it’s a huge celebration at home and at school, filled with fun games and toys, joyful music, and delicious …
