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!
A 7 year-day week
Husband passed away 7 years ago tonight. It’s been 7 years already. 7 years filled with all kinds of lessons coming from many kinds of man-made and natural disasters. The amazing thing is not what happened on the outside. What happened inside us however, is far more important. Yes, of course there has been physical … Continue reading A 7 year-day week
Well, hello there!
I bet you thought we were gone or something. I am sorry for leaving you behind and not telling you where I went. I did not go anywhere and I was not hiding, just got life getting in the way. My parents came over for a week after my last post, and next thing I … Continue reading Well, hello there!
Choose Joy
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
God Given Purpose
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

Deep inside everybody wants to be loved and accepted. That means you have to put yourself out there, and that brings vulnerability and a huge chance of hitting the jackpot or getting hurt. It also requires a great amount of honesty and integrity, and sadly it doesn’t matter what they say, at the end they … Continue reading Just another shiny piece of glass
A reason, a season or a lifetime
I was reading my devotional this morning, and it talked about giving grateful praise to God for everything good we have received, and then I read Psalm 100. 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
A FRESH START
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
Operation “cheer-the-kid-up”
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”
Carry-on Packing for Kids
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
