This is exactly where I wanted to be…

It’s been exactly 10 years since I first met my hubby. And this holiday season, I can’t help but look back.

Today is the official start of the holidays. We woke up early and kick started the day with a morning walk up to the nearby Eisenhower elementary school grounds. It’s been a while me and hubby enjoyed so much time together. We have been so busy with so many things.

It took us less than an hour to be back. And as I approached home, I looked at both of us, still together, looked at our home, our own first home. As I picked out mail from the mailbox, I couldn’t help but realize, this is exactly where I wanted to be.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

The duality of my existence

I am the mother of the black and the white For I don't differentiate between colors or forms I am for the world, an inspiring guide Whilst I be guided by the world and it's norms. I am the one that leaves footprints on sand In hopes of leaving a legacy behind And I am also the one that surges on demand To wash away all that was once mine. I am the one that is all encompassing and powerful That can create, maintain and destroy But I am also that speck in the sand so colorful Living with full involvement and pure joy.

I see the power of God in so many things, each thing that affects me. I feel the power of God in the hug that my boyfriend gives me when I see him after a lonely vacation. I feel the power of God in the kiss that my nephew plants on my cheek every time I play with him. I feel the power of God in the drops of rain that fall on my outstretched arms as I await them. I feel the power of God in the air that brushes through my hair when I swing high and low. I feel the power of God in the conversation I have with certain minds that lead me towards the answers I seek. I feel the power of God in those rare moments of truth that I experience whe

Happy Diwali!

I have been busy. Between my daughter and work, there’s really not much time left in the day or week or month. The work week has been simply draining. Weekends have been passing by at the blink of an eye. So this time around, Diwali came and it did not make much of an impact. I knew in my head it was the most important festival of the year, and yet there wasn’t anything special that I had planned to do, outside of reciprocating to the numerous wishes from family and friends. Something inside tugged at me. This did not feel right. Although we had a family party planned for the weekend, the fact that the Diwali day would just pass mundanely was unacceptable. I decided to check out a few food blogs to get inspired. It was going to be hard I knew, there wasn’t much in my pantry and I wasn’t going shopping, we had cut down our sugar intake to bare minimum over recent times and of course, I was pressed for time. How could I possibly find something yummy to whip up that was actually
