Compass

Before I decided to start writing again, I thought I had lost my love for it. And many times when we do feel lost, the things that we loved to do don’t feel fulfilling anymore. Feeling like you’re lost in life is a similar feeling to losing your mom in the grocery store or the…

Sweet Emotion

One of the most powerful possessions that everyone holds is: Love. Love is not only a noun (person, place or thing) but also a verb (action, state, or occurrence). Something so amazing can manifest into anything. Something, when used correctly, can turn the tides. Something so powerful can shift the atmosphere. Love is powerful and…

Detox

tox•ic•/toxic/•adjective 1.) of, pertaining to, affected with, or caused by a toxin or poison: a toxic condition Sometimes this also comes in the form of a person and unfortunately, I believe we all have dealt with people that exude negativity. But the question is, why? Why do we let ourselves ingest toxins from a toxic person? Why…

Don’t lose your light

Yesterday after church, I decided to treat my kids to see A Wrinkle In Time. A story about a young girl dealing with the strange disappearance of her father and then ultimately getting the chance to conduct a search and rescue mission by beings from out in the universe. It was a great film. The costumes,…

The Road Less Traveled

Every year on December 31, at 11:59 (or around that time), over the past 5 years or so, I would always say a prayer containing the words, “please let this be my year.” And then I would turn on New Year’s Rockin’ Eve and count down with the rest of the world. And I always got…

It’s All About You

Guilty as charged. Yes, for once, I actually thought about myself for a change with no lingering guilt. “Not today,” I thought to myself. As my kids and…

Time Flies

I think about time quite often. Everyday actually. How much sleep can I get if I go to bed at this time? How long will it take me to get to this particular destination if I leave my home at this time? What time is it right now? How many more hours until it’s time…

I Choose You

“To the world you may be one person; but to one person you may be the world.”-Dr. Seuss I love the power we have where we can actually pick a person and say “I like you, let’s stay connected forever.” And with that power we either choose people that uplift, motivate and encourage us or…

Breathe In, Breathe Out

You know those times as a parent when you need to retreat to your designated hiding spot? Yea I said it, parents have hiding spots or better yet, “sanctuaries,” (mine is the bathroom or the imaginary line I have between the kitchen and dining room while I’m drinking my “mommy juice”). Having one is a benefit to our…

Lost in Trans-technology

I’m all for devices, apps or anything technological that can potentially make my or someone’s life a little more tolerable. Let’s face it, everyone at some point in their everyday life have hectic tasks to complete. My echo dot a.k.a “Alexa” for example, has been somewhat of a lifesaver since I won it at my…
