Yesterday was one of those days where OVERWHELM was the beginning, middle and ending of every event. It certainly takes MASSIVE FAITH to overcome the fear and impatience and that comes with UNCERTAINTY. I’ve found that GUIDANCE and CLARITY comes from weird places. I was talking to my best friend in search for his advice …
Honesty is, unarguably, my highest value. Deception comes in many flavors: white lie, compulsive lie, saying half the truth, hiding the truth, twisting the truth, exaggerating the truth, denying the obvious. All these taste like pain to me! I read that the average person tells 4 lies a day or 1460 a year; a total …
One night, I was driving home from an exhausting and stressful day of hard but rewarding work. You know how sometimes you just drive and can’t think of anything but “I gotta get to my destination”. I usually play audiobooks on my car’s MP3 player, but I wasn’t even in the mood for that. The …

My children’s birthday celebrations are also the celebration of my birth as a mother. I believe parenting is a lifelong journey. The course changes with every day, month, or year that gets added to your children’s lives. The first two weeks before the check-up, the first couple months and vaccines, the first year with feeding, …
Sometimes no matter how good, how kind, how giving, how sacrificing, and how loyal a friend you are, people will, at times, be: mean, ungrateful, distrusting, and easy to judge. All they will ever be to you is an opportunity for you to share your gifts with them and hope it one day inspires them …
Becoming a mom has been the best thing to happen to me. Suddenly, I had to become a better me…for them. For as long as I can remember, I knew God has made me a visionary. I always saw beyond my circumstances and knew I could be more. I guess I just never knew I …
