A year ago something amazing happened to me.... I received a check in the mail from my previous employer for work performed when I was no longer there. After a lot of back and forth (because I was sure it was a mistake), I got the go ahead from the agency to cash it. Elated, I sent out an email to my family and extremely close friends telling them what happened and why it is good to be good and all what not. That was my first confession... ☺️ Today is December 1, 2015 and I CANNOT BELIEVE that what started off as emails with gist to loved ones has turned into a full … [Read more...]
November Goals
Happy New Month People! I hope you all had an amazing and safe weekend. Okay so, starting this November, at the beginning of every month, I will share my personal goals with you all. Note that I wrote goals not dreams. Please PROTECT YOUR DREAMS! Bad belle/haters are EVERYWHERE; so keep your dreams (as you work towards them) to yourself!

They also stress me out if I fall short … [Read more...]

So yea, class was a struggle. I was sooo uncoordinated! ?? I've been training … [Read more...]

As God will have it, at evening mass last night, the gospel was about when Jesus visited Mary and Martha. In case you are not familiar the story, here's the Cliff notes version: When Jesus went to visit his friends Mary and Martha, Martha was all over the place, anxiously preparing food, serving and trying to make sure everything was perfect for Jesus while her sister Mary just sat by Jesus listening to … [Read more...]
Being My Reason
Okay so, last week I decided to shut down my blog. Writing wasn’t the problem (I write everyday) but I didn't have the zeal to post anything. People stopped reading my posts. Some read and called me to complain about the content (that’s a story for another day). MANY had opinions on what I should do/write about in order to increase my readership. Eventually blogging became more work with less gratification. So on Saturday, I told my friend Sommy I was thinking of closing shop. Sommy: When things like this happen, you have to remember why you started in the … [Read more...]
