“I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it – but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.” Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr….

What’s Your Feel Good Story?
“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” Leo Buscaglia This morning, a lady co-worker who’s been out for a while due to surgery, told me…
Joy Bringers
Life consists of many simple and ordinary things. And I find joy in them… As I was getting ready yesterday to help out with our church Barbeque Fundraiser, I glanced at my shoes and somehow the combinations of the shoe color and my leggings brought me joy. Perhaps it’s also the realization that this cleaning…
My Easy Is Not Your Easy
Can you believe we are just four days away until we begin the new year? New beginnings. Renewed hope. Greater possibilities. Perhaps, a deeper understanding of pains, failures, disappointment and everything that is not easy. A few weeks ago, I read a post about how people compare our pains to theirs or theirs to others….
The Journey Changes You
I started this post July 6 of this year. Then I started two more and quit. So now, I have three drafts that are waiting to get done. Some days, I would sit and try to write but then I would end up staring at the screen and feel like…dead inside – well not really, …

Can you imagine how much work went into completing such meticulous designs? Which makes me wonder, how much work does God set aside…

Be your own kind of beautiful… When I was younger, I worried a lot about what others thought of me. I got upset easily on their opinions, more so if it’s something that is not true, and yes something that I don’t agree with. It took me a whole forty-eight years to change that outlook…
What’s in your Treasure Chest?
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:21 We define treasures as a quantity of valued objects or items. Anything of extraordinary amount; priceless. Does it only involve only precious jewelries, heirlooms, expensive cars, branded clothes, big houses, Louis Vuitton purses? Degrees or honorable titles perhaps? If that is the…
When Jesus Takes The Wheel
I thought I knew who I was. And I’m pretty sure I have things figured out. But then, I took a wrong turn and realized I needed Him to figure out who I am. I think letting Jesus take full control of our lives is the easiest thing we could do, right? I mean, all…
