I am grateful for this time to write to you. I have taken time off to rest today. For me writing leisurely is restful. Lately, I have been rushing through life and I have to stop myself from working too much because a good friend reminded me to: “Love yourself!” Indeed. 🙂 So, I am …
I always find visiting a wake sobering. It puts life into its proper perspective. I’ve been to many wakes before including my dad’s but it doesn’t get any easier even if you knew it would happen eventually. Still I have hope because I know that life on earth as we know it may end, but …
I’ve been driving again, a skill I abandoned for the last 10 years. I once got a ticket for an unintentional error on the road, I just didn’t have time (made time) to renew my license until recently. And now we’re back. I know ten years! That’s another story for another time. 🙂 I feel …
Hello Soul Friend, How are you today? Are you happy? Can you be happier? We understand how you are feeling. We’ve been there before. There was a time when we did not love the lives we were living. A time when we felt so broken in spirit that we wanted to stay under the covers and …
I realized that when we are busy the easiest thing to let go of is ourselves. We set ourselves aside in order to accommodate other things that demand our time.

In a popular coffee shop while writing this entry and there is so much noise 🙁 It is difficult to concentrate. But such is the cacophony of life. We encounter much noise in our lives every day too. There are lots of things vying for our attention, sometimes the essentials are sacrificed; the small stuff …
It’s the time of the month once again. PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome) keeps me on the edge of my seat. I feel easily irritated and a bit more sensitive. Back in the day when I hadn’t been aware of its symptoms, I often wondered why I would suddenly feel irritable for no reason at all. Maybe …
This topic is close to my heart. I used to be really confused about what it means to be humble. Until one day God enlightened me through the wise words of my godmother, Sr. Rafaelie. She said, “True humility is walking in the truth.” Simply put, it’s being who you really are. Recently, I was …
The day is almost over! Where did the hours go? “Time flies so fast” won’t be a cliche if it weren’t so true. Just how exactly do we redeem the day? How do we make our days more fruitful, more purposeful, more seized? These three questions developed by John Maxwell have been particularly helpful to …
When I was young, I wanted to become an astronomer but this dream faded away like a comet gone too soon. Maybe you wanted to be one too? I feel you! Perhaps most dreamers always want to aim for the stars. 🙂 And there is nothing wrong with that. 🙂 Yet back on land, I …
