Why the Worry?
Recently, I accidentally sent a full month’s salary to a friend. Following the error, the account I used for expenses had a noteworthy balance of $0.02. To say I panicked when I realized my error would be the understatement of the year. However, I am not one to just sit and dwell on the problem […]

The Answer to a Prayer: The Power of Giving – Part 2
A Quick Fun Fact: My first name has both a French and Spanish meaning. In French, my name means “water channel” or “canal” or “water pipe”. I was disappointed when I learned that little fact. I thought the French did me an injustice! It felt so ordinary (and I am anything but ordinary…) 🙂 . […]
