Get Up Again
So I’ve been playing Farm Heroes Saga (farm version of Candy Crush) for a few months now. A month ago I reached a level where I had to get three stars in order to get three new animals. The first couple of times I played the level I couldn’t even complete it! Frankly, I was […]
Male-Female Friendships
One of the theories that I’m positively tired of hearing is that females cannot have male friends without either party wanting to “do the tango” with the other. Well that’s a load of bull! I have two male friends who are my wingmen, my protectors, my trustees, my advisors, my psychologists, etc, etc all rolled […]
Life is like kneading dumplings
I can still remember the first time I had to knead dumplings. My mom had left for work and having kneaded the flour, she left it for my sister and I to make and cook. After almost 7 hours in a pot sweating, the dough was too soft to manipulate and our dumplings came out […]
You are who you are because of yesterday.
A few weeks ago, God dropped this thought into my spirit “you are who you are because of yesterday”. I wrote the thought down in my phone and left it there. Last night as I was browsing through the phone, I came upon the thought. This time, I asked, ” God, how do you […]

What Are You Willing to Do to Maintain Your self-respect?
For the first time in a while, I met a guy who I liked. He is intelligent and really kept me on my toes. He challenged me to think and was quick to offer suggestions on areas that are important to me. He is quite handsome. He is a go-getter who is always striving to […]
Tell Them Now
When I was in my late teens I attended the funeral of a woman who had just barely touched my life. What stayed with me was the way persons spoke about her! She had touched so many lives and done so much good. I decided then and there that I wanted to live my life […]
Respectfully, My Standards.
I found myself thinking about something that I realized has troubled me, especially over the last few years. This is something focused on my standards and respect for them. We all have relationships with various individuals. Whether they are friendships, intimate relations, family relations or business relationships, they still fall under the category of a […]
Whose race are you running?
God has this way of speaking and teaching lessons that simply amazes me. A few weeks ago I had an encounter and got a lesson that left me really speechless and contemplative.It started quite simply. I was in the middle of my 15-20 minutes walk to work after I got off my taxi. As I […]
Clash of the Body and Mind
Nowadays I rarely get sick but whenever I do, my body ensures it pays me back in spades for all the times it wanted to laze or get some rest and I pushed it to continue. My latest episode started by making me an emotional wreck with no appetite. I hardly ate a thing for […]
