We are always talking about the next chapter or the new chapter of our life. Chapters turn into books, sometimes books turn into encyclopedias. If our lives are books with chapters, then perhaps we have many, many pages. I believe a good book has happy, sad, suspense, drama, action, tragedy, and comedy pages. Some sort … Continue reading Turn the page
Alright, so 2020 was more than a crap show. The plans we had, all turned into crap. What do you want for 2021? I know what I want. I want 2020 to be done. I want some more of course. Last year about this time I made a post. I said we had reached a … Continue reading So what now
I know it’s been a while, I apologize. Last fall I was supposed to resume my blog, then new job for me, new school grade for the kid, major adjustment, then when we finally got on a roll, the virus shows up and derails everything. It brought a lot of things to a new light, … Continue reading why hello there!
My mom sent me a text a couple of days ago reminding me of the time when I was about 3-4 years old, we would ride the bus downtown, go to my mom’s favorite store, go to their cafeteria and eat a hotdog at end before going back home. I used to sing hymns on … Continue reading Choose Joy
I came across a quote from Joan of Arc a couple days ago, it said “I am not afraid... I was born to do this.” Before we were even conceived, God already had a plan for us to be born and a path for us to follow. When I realized my God given purpose though, … Continue reading God Given Purpose

I could spend all day telling you about each blessing we have gotten from God, but something else came to my mind when reading my Bible. The … Continue reading A reason, a season or a lifetime
I cannot say 2018 was a bad year, but I'm glad it's over. I must say 2018 was so much better than 2017 though! I am so excited that 2019 finally got here because it brings a fresh start to so many things. During 2018 the kid and I came to realize so much, a … Continue reading A FRESH START
These last few weeks have been quite uplifting, if you could say that. This year has been hard on my kid since we lost Nike, added to losing Zoe a couple years ago, and Richard almost 6 years ago. We also lost 2 fish the morning after we lost Nike. The kid had been going … Continue reading Operation “cheer-the-kid-up”
I have been traveling with the kid since he was a tiny baby, and what I need to pack has changed over the years. The kid is 8 years old now, and what he needs now is somewhat different this year than a few years ago. Yesterday I shared what I packed with a dad … Continue reading Carry-on Packing for Kids
“Boy meets girl, they fall in love, they get married, they have children, and they all live happily ever after.” That’s how almost everybody’s story goes about, and it probably would’ve been great for this family, but that’s not how it has been. Our story has lots of prayers, lots of storms and a … Continue reading The day of the birth
