"Pray for Me"

Hey everyone! How have you all been? Can you believe it's September already. Wow! Time really does fly, doesn't it? I hope you all have achieved some of your set goals for the year and if you haven't, don't stress it too much. Just do what you can with the time left. I am way behind schedule on my goals and this doesn't even sound like news anymore but I am so glad that things are beginning to pick up again. There are still a lot of things to process and clarify but at least we are making progress and that makes me happy. So to our topic - Pray for Me, follow me...

It's Thanksgiving Again! What Are You Thankful For?

Happy thanksgiving everyone! How are you doing? It's thanksgiving season again and I believe you have many reasons to be thankful. I know I do and that's why I'm here today; to share some of the reasons why I'm thankful. It's very usual to hear people say they don't have reasons to be thankful and I must say that this is very sad. First, because it is untrue and also because your negative attitude or your ingratitude hinders you from receiving more blessings. If you can't see and appreciate what you have right now, what use would it be to give you more? Always be grateful people, no matter what you're going through the fact remains that there are people who have it better and those who have it worse than you do. I'm not here to preach today, I'm here to count some of my blessings with you, so please, follow me :).

Money Weirdness

Hey guys, how was your weekend? I hope you were all able to rest well. Let's start the week with a little money talk, shall we? First, let's go back to those good old days when you had no care in the world, or at least, no serious care. Do you remember? Do you remember when you thought 5 bucks could buy everything you wanted in the world? My youngest nephew was recently given a cash gift for coming out top of his class. First, he was a little confused, given that he was expecting a toy or even candy and then it seemed like realization dawned on him that he finally had money (he's 4); something he was told too often wasn't available when he made silly requests. His dad came in a few minutes later and he ran to him showing him his cash gift "daddy daddy uncle gave me money, now I can buy anything I want". Awwh, how naive right? Sometimes, that's just bliss. The innocence of a child is adorably pure and peaceful. 

Friends and Toxic Friendships….

Hey guys, how have you all been? I know it has been a while again; I have been dealing with spiritual, mental, financial and emotional issues. Yes, ALL of them and perhaps even more. Have I got them all figured out? Nope, but let’s just say, I’m in a better place now. I have missed you more than you can ever know and I apologize yet again for my absence. I know your loving hearts will be kind enough to forgive me, one of the reasons why I love you guys and NO, I am not taking you for granted AT ALL, I love you too much.

Okay, so with all the love in my heart right now, I decided that we should talk a bit about friends/friendships. Yes, friends! I’m not going to the dictionary definition now because, I have come to see that many of us define who friends are differently. Basically, I want to know what one must do before you can term that one as a friend. Do I have to make you laugh, be rich, do I have to be smart or sexy or fine or a good listener or a good cook? Or do I not need to do anything at all?

Hi guys, hope you're all great. So, yes, my thoughts are somewhat disheveled. This is the only means I feel I can vent semi coherently. I have been ranting in my head for a while now and pushing the logical thoughts to put this down. Well, I’m here now, so let’s try figure this out together, shall we? Let's talk about Painful Truths...
