Small Town Vibe

The story of the many small town boys and girls probably is a story that has not changed for decades. Small town opportunity scarcity versus the dreams there are. Moving to the city has been the plot of every ambition and dreams. When I lived in the province, I dreamt of a life rooted here,

Father’s Day and what sacrifice means

Every time I read stories of people narrating how they were raised by amazing selfless dads, I can’t stop my tears from welling. I was raised by a “rockstar” father. Even at the age of 60, his heart still prefers to be with his bandmates more than his children. He did provide for us as

The Rise of the Guardians and Finding our center

Over the years since its release in 2012, Rise of the Guardians is one of our fave family movies. The story, the cast, the cinematic effect and the MESSAGE made it timeless. The kids love it for its magical effects and characters, I loved it for the feel-good effect of the message- also the elves

I Wanna See You BE BRAVE

Honestly, I could not explain why the line “I wanna see you be brave” keeps my tears rolling like non-stop. Then every single time it plays, I remember being young, confused and scared and no one was there to tell me “Be Brave”. I wasn’t sure if I was and if I was- going through

The talk started with her journey from getting a scholarship grant to New York City

This morning, my mentor shared a link to Forbes Best Commencement Speeches of 2020. The article featured the 44th US President Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Tim Cook, LeBron James, and others. The lineup is pretty heavy and packed with rich content. The one that resonates to me the most now is from LeBron James. “Stay

Good morning to all mothers! :)

Every morning, a mother wakes up often for a purpose not her own. She opens her eyes, go to the kitchen while trying to make a fuzzy remembrance of the plans she had in mind the night before. What to cook, the grocery list, parts of the house that need deep cleaning and etc. Oh,

Music & Lyrics- I hope these voices can write their own music

I was invited by a colleague to view this video of a singer (no, he is not known yet) turning to YouTube to share his talent. He’s got voice, man! His rendition of the Air Supply song “Having you near me” sounded like the original. I only get to see 2 of his songs and

[Daily Thoughts] Music and Life

Have you ever given everything? Have you ever been asked for more? In the daily realms of a mother and a wife, more sometimes mean inadequate Exhaustion is nothing more than emotional outburst   It can be painful at times, when what I do lost its significance Should I give up one to fully attend
