My spirit was challenged this weekend. It was a very chaotic weekend. There was so much chaos in my home, and it was fogging up my mind. I want to learn to be at peace even amongst the chaos because this past weekend, I let my mind indulge in it, which was not healthy. It…
#269 a wonderful life

I had a wonderful weekend full of friends, good food, and exploring. Of course, there were some hiccups. It started with loud construction in the house because my father was renovating the roof and the driveway. The banging started on the roof at 7am on a Saturday morning. I was tired and cold.

#268 frustrating

Hey, I’ve been on this journey of finding things to cheer me up so that I can compile a list to look at whenever I’m feeling down. I mentioned before that I’ve loved watching Rugrats since I was a little girl, and I still watch it. Sometimes I just don’t want my brain to think,…

It's officially winter recess! I feel immense joy getting a break from working in educational institutions. For the first time in forever, I feel excited to be off work, don't get me wrong.

#263 what do you think of vulnerability?

https://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_the_power_of_vulnerability?language=en Seeing my blog get views from different countries, such as Germany, is fantastic! Thank you for being here and for making me feel so special. I wrote an entire Wednesday blog on the topic of "what can I do less of," but I decided against posting it. It sounded bitter, negative, and repetitive. I…
