Never underestimate the need to earn the trust of a child. A mother earns her baby’s trust almost automatically as there is an unspoken, undeniable bond between the two. It all started while baby was in the womb and after birth it gets stronger; as mommy cares for her baby in every way. Anyone else who becomes a caregiver for a child earns trust in a few moments from the initial interaction, followed by a series of actions. Continue reading

Learning to ask for help
I am an individual who had a hard time asking for help and receiving in general. It’s been a lifelong challenge and mission to improve. I struggled for most of my adult life asking anyone for help unless it was a dire need. I was adamant on being self-sufficient and totally independent even if I had to suffer. I couldn’t see past my need to take care of myself and to never need anyone or depend on anyone. There are reasons for this Continue reading
Your memory lives on
It’s been a year since I have last seen you. I can’t believe it has been so long. Life may have went on without you. But your memory truly lives on. Continue reading
You are Happiest when …
Once more I will touch on a subject I have expressed my thoughts on before. Today’s question is you are happiest when?? It’s more like fill in the blanks rather than a question. The start of the statement indicates you already know that you experienced happiness. You just need to specify the moments in which you feel it. This means we admit to ourselves that happiness is not constant. Happiness comes Continue reading
The “Helping Others” Lesson
Do we understand the concept of helping others? Do we do it occasionally or is it part of our lives? Do we do it to get recognition or do we do it because we want to make a difference in someone else’s life? Why do you help someone? What are your intentions? And what motivates you? Do you ever ask yourself??? Continue reading
Is he really “just a friend”?

The Other Woman – part two
In continuation from my previous post, I have spoken to both women involved with the same man. And now I speak to you, the man who is in the middle of all this. At times I feel for you and other times I have no respect for you. You have feelings but sometimes Continue reading
Conversation with My Heart
How many times will I keep going through this? How much more can my heart take? Why do I always end up in the same spot every time? Do I continuously make wrong choices and am I that bad in my judgements? It’s at times like these when I think I know nothing. I think I do, but obviously I don’t. Continue reading
Love … Am I in love?
Whether I am capable of opening such a complicated subject or not, I am just like everyone else in this world. Continue reading
The “FORGIVENESS” Lesson
“Don’t forgive because it’s the right thing to do, forgive because it’s what you want to do”. Aly Johnson
“I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note – torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.” Henry ward Beecher
“He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself; for every man has need to be forgiven.” Thomas fuller
“Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespassed against us”. The Lord’s Prayer
How often do we repeat quotes like these in our daily lives and actually understand the depth of forgiveness? Do we really know how to forgive? And why is it that we do not practice this act more often? Continue reading
