The Game of Catching Up

Moms, we are in constant push and pull when it comes to appointments and commitments. Playing catch up is a normal theme among us. Today, I write this waiting for the daughter to be done with her therapy. She does this on weekends. That is occupational therapy and speech therapy. The past days I’ve been

Discussion on Life’s inevitables

Yesterday, we attended the online Sunday Praise and Worship with the theme on MOTIVATE (ACRONYM). The topic was Intimacy (Relationship). After the service, we talked a little about life, forgiveness and surrender. My husband is not a talker and usually avoids difficult conversations on life like ambitions, passion, struggles, and specifically death. Last night, while

Moms and the busy word

When Mommy Get Sick

I have never felt this kind of flu all my life. I am light-headed, my bones feel like they are about to break (maybe I am bit exaggerating on this one), my back hurts, my nose is malfunctioning and my brain is blocked. I have had this cold and running nose for days now, but

It’s My First Time

I had to stay up late to catch up with work last night. My work week has always been hectic. I often wonder when the time would come when I can count the hours and smile like there’s plenty still. Often I wonder if I can survive through motherhood and having my hands and feet

[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
