Take a pause
Life can move so fast; sometimes at my busiest, I don’t remember on Friday what happened on Monday. There have been too many microevents. It’s better to take a pause. Stop and look around before you miss life as it is unfolding. The world as it is today seems to have different settings in this…

On the good days
There won’t always be good days, but on the good days, I’ll be eternally grateful that I am on this beautiful journey. Every bit and piece, every stop and turn, every encounter is what makes it worthwhile. It’s like the strokes of the artist’s brush, painting the best work of art. It is what makes…

Happiness in moments
If happy should be a destination, an aspiration, a goal, then what happens after and beyond happy? For something as fleeting, happy should only be enjoyed in moments; small and big ones alike. Like wind, moments sip through our hands. There is no constant grand pristine state of being or existence, unless you should be…

No one can love you like you…
…cause no one knows you like you. No one knows the baby in you that needs soothing like you. No one has experienced your joy like you have, born your sorrow to its depth, seen life through your lenses, felt the longings of your heart, dreamed the dreams of your mind, lived the insecurities of…

Take care of yourself
” Take care of yourself so that when the people you love fall, your arms will be strong” Jennifer Laurence You should be self full to the point of overflowing in order to reach, touch and bless others. I used to fear self love because I mistook it for selfishness. There is a difference between…

Self-care doesn’t mean that you’re selfish.
Self-care doesn’t mean that you’re selfish. It’s in fact the very opposite of selfish.

The more filled we are with self love and care, the more we are able to give of ourselves.…

Just someone, anyone. Just something, anything.
I have heard that, “Just because you are thirsty doesn’t mean you should drink poison” . It’s true that sometimes people also say, “I’ll make do with what I have”. That shouldn’t be the same with the people and relationships we choose especially romantic relationships and eventually marriage. I am happy for people who have…

You are stronger than your fear and doubt.
” It’s not who we are that holds us back from brilliant success but who we think we are not.” ~???Author” Today I was thinking just how we are aware and at the same time unaware of our power and brilliance. Many people have been heard saying or have caught themselves asking their heart and…

Believe them.
When someone shows you who they are believe them. Like the good old saying goes, “Actions speak louder than words” they say. If someone is blunt enough to tell you the truth or if you are able to listen to what they are saying with their words and what’s being implied or not said, also…

Appreciate yourself.
Okay, I did “steal” that from Jay Sherry’s Instagram . But that’s because it spoke to me in the moment. It really is easy to see flaws because after-all they are a bump on the whole big skin, a spot on an otherwise perfect surface, a bend in an otherwise flawless shape or line. Point…

Letting go and moving on.
People are more afraid of moving on than they are of letting go. We have heard this said many times: you need to let go. In most cases the people being told to let go have the knowledge and conviction of why they need to do it or better still why the must let go.…

Just do You.
I have heard often times that trying to please everyone is a sure way to failure. I believe it is true. Come to think of it. If you attempted to please everyone, you would have to meet the tastes and expectations of each of those people simultaneously and then yours too. How exhausting ! The…

A little more tenderness for yourself.
To the overachievers, the high standard people, the lovers of humanity, the codepeñdency sweethearts who look out for people and want to fix people and things always. You are most prone to being extremely hard on yourself – to expect nothing short of excellence from yourself while being extremely generous with your compassion towards everyone…

Come to the Father.
I landed on this very straight forward very nice piece on Facebook and couldn’t help thinking this should be the attitude of every Christian in every church. When we become so self righteous that we don’t recognize our sons, we become unwelcoming to people who are in places where we ourselves could have been save…
