  • Letting go in Love vs. Bitterness and Pain

    rose-close-upFor the past three weeks, I have done a catharsis in the way of writing letters to this man that I let go of. It was my way of understanding my feelings and emotions that I didn’t know had gone so deep. What has happened is that the writings are so much that I believe it has turned out to a book.

    I have been in the process of writing a different book with my sister, but this kind of morphed out of me and it totally took me by surprise. So it will be published soon. I just have to transcribe all these letters which I wrote at all hours of the days including being woken up at 2, 3 or 4 AM. It somehow took over me. (more…)

  • Who Do You Love More?

    My son has asked me many times, “Who do you love more me or Sparky?” Sparky is our beautiful eight year old Labrador.  We’ve had him since he was a puppy.  Of course I always answered my son  that I love him more than Sparky even though I adore Sparky.  And then he would ask me a lot of times, “Who do you love more, me or you?”  And to which I would always reply,”Well, I got to love me first so that I can
    really love you.”  (more…)

  • Life Mirrors Our Reality

    This is a post from my sister, Maria

    So much is going on right now with this financial crisis that I imagine we are all going through similar feelings of: Can we trust government? Can we trust the financial system? Can we trust our leaders? Can we trust the value of the dollar? Who can we trust?

    We cannot ignore the fact that our current global economy is definitely a mirror of our world and our society as it is today, and on a more individual level, who we are as individuals and what our compass in life has become. (more…)

  • More Steps Till I Can Fly

    I now have another step to take in this process which is physical therapy. My mind is already racing and wanting to get alot of things done. I want to go to the office and a small part of me starts to get into that stress syndrome once again. Last year, I took a few days in my home to retreat in silence, journaling and reading books.  By the third day, I wasn’t sure what to do, but what ended up happening was that it was the most creative time of my life after that self imposed retreat.

  • Feeling Vulnerable

    With less than a week until my contraption comes off my foot, and feeling cocooned in my home for 5 weeks, I decided to go out to lunch today with my son. As he was about to step out the door, he saw a flash of light and seconds later a roaring thunder that sounded like a bomb. I had never heard lightning strike so loud. Our hearts were racing, we got scared out of our wits. Sparky, my Labrador’s legs were shaking and we decided to stay in. Needless to say, my laptop computer got fried to a crisp, even though it was grounded. The external drive connected to it also got fried.(Good thing I also have this desktop) (more…)

  • What Are Your Mental Handicaps?

    Currently I am unable to walk with both feet on the ground. I am hopping around on walker and graduating on crutches. The apparatus I have attached to my ankle and shin is very uncomfortable, but after two weeks of torturous pain from the procedures, the pain has definitely subsided. Time does heal all as they say. I do feel temporarily handicapped because I can’t physically move about like I normally do. I count my lucky stars that I am alive and it was only my bones that broke and not any permanent serious physical disability. (more…)
