Celebrating You!
As an undergrad student, I remember holding an edited volume and scanning the table of contents. I remember seeing names of people I have never met but admired. Even though I did not know them personally, I was struck by their intelligence. Surely not everyone gets published. Being published is a badge of honour. It Continue reading

You Won’t Break My Soul 2023
I’m not gonna lie. It took me awhile to write this. I wanted to write it to start off the year. Things, however, have been rather hectic. 2022 took me for quite a wild ride. It was definitely a roller coaster of emotions. The highs were highs and the low of lows. I was taken Continue reading

It was hard pressing Enter. Once I pressed that button, it would deactivate my Facebook account. I needed to do it to make sure I can stick to the plan. For the next forty days, I will be fasting from social media AND meat. I have fasted from meat before for 3 weeks, and I Continue reading

Quote of the Day – Jan. 31, 2013
Absolutely love this quote. As I celebrate yet another year, I need to believe and live out the truth of this quote more and more! “It’s a gift to joyfully recognize and accept our own smallness and ordinariness.

I’m sharing a song that I wrote to you guys. I’ll be posting the lyrics and if you want to listen Continue reading

Friendly Fridays
One of the things that I love about having my own website is that I get to have a platform to share my thoughts and ideas with the rest of the world. However, a lot of “my” thoughts have been greatly influenced by my interaction with a lot of great and wonderful people I like Continue reading
