A friend of mine not so far from me sent me this picture of a scene on one of her walks. For a while I had this picture but somehow never looked close enough to see the details. Right there in midst of a watery backdrop are a few birds. They seem quite at peaceContinue reading “Simple Lesson”

The Help I Need
This morning [Saturday] I had a 4-hour RTV [real time virtual] class. This means I was fully engaged with my students for 4 hours. Being all in mentally, emotionally and physically can be draining to say the least. At the end of the class, I was spent. Though I loved every minute of it, IContinue reading “The Help I Need”
Loving Me
To the One who always stayed – who loved me before I was. You give me reason to breathe today. You’ve been faithful through the ages. Grant me grace to reciprocate. I will be your God throughout your lifetime— until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you.Continue reading “Loving Me”
This Kind of Love
My previous post focused on the love amongst siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles and the likes. There is another kind of love that can hardly be explained. This is the love between a parent and child [ we’ll add the grandmas, grandpas and grandbabies in the mix]. This valentine’s day if you have a parent whoContinue reading “This Kind of Love”

I asked him if thisContinue reading “My Why”
It is Still You
Reflection is part of my growth and healing process. It helps to keep things in perspective for me. When I wake up with $20 in my bank account, and my bills are paid I certainly have a different outlook. I have learned to put on my garb of gratitude. When I know where my imperfectContinue reading “It is Still You”
Right for Me
Today my high school celebrates its 81st birthday. So much of who I am grew out of my 5 years at this noble institution. Many of the bonds I formed then are still very much a part of my world today. I would do it all over again – maybe this time around, it wouldContinue reading “Right for Me”
Goodbye and Hello
January came, it did its thing and is now leaving. We await and welcome February. Some stats on world population indicated that in 2023, there are approximately 7,974 deaths per day in the US and about 330 per hour. If you are reading this in the US, you were blessed to not be a partContinue reading “Goodbye and Hello”
