How many times have we judged our situation negatively only to find out we judged too soon and we judged wrongly? Last Friday, I wrote about how sad I am but it turned out there was nothing to be sad about. I took an exam for the course I am taking and I was not […]
When I was young, my mom will always remind us to say thank you to anyone who did good things to us. Fast forward 30 plus years, that’s what I am teaching my kids now too. It’s applicable anywhere and to anyone in whatever situation. Say thank you whenever you can. It doesn’t cost a […]
I am looking for something to write about happiness but I can’t think of any so I’ll just share one thing that makes me happy every day. Fold your blanket in the morning! I know it’s not that much but for me, it’s my first accomplishment of the day and if I can accomplish something […]
This is so true for me. I’m so glad I am able to do what I want to do 80% of the time. The remaining 20% accounts to time I am not able to take make. It’s hard to take control of our time and even for me, it is a constant thing I always […]

I have my faith and my family to turn to and over the years, both have been my pillar of strength. […]
I have a monkey mind. I am easily bored, distracted and prone to entertaining different emotions even if there’s no merit to entertain them. In the past, I would cure this boredom either by doing something productive or doing something really useless. I have come a long way and although I have tamed my monkey […]
As I was browsing Facebook last year, I saw an ad about an organization called Future Possibilities for Kids (FPK) looking for volunteers to be a kid coach. I always believed that our children are the future and being a life coach my self, I told myself, I should be one. So I applied, attended […]
Today’s gospel is about doubting Thomas and this one is one of my favorite verses in the bible. Believing doesn’t apply just to faith but also in anything you wanted to happen and achieve in your life. Remember where you were before, I’m quite sure even for just a tiny bit, it is better. What […]
