  • Contrary for Contrary’s Sake?!

    This is going to be a bit of a rant and admittedly a contrary one, but not just for the sake of it. 🤪 Most of the time, I loathe looking at social media for any holiday or “international/national day of ____” because it has become a space for people to schmooze and ooze over-the-top…

  • Defined by our birthplace or our citizenship?

    When I was young, I used to follow the North 🇰🇵 and South Korea 🇰🇷unification news quite diligently. In fact, I would cut out newspaper clippings 📰 reporting on their relationship and the ongoing hope of the Korean people that they would become one nation again. One time, my dad asked me what interested me…

    My religious beliefs have waxed and waned over the years. Now, I feel as if I have a fairly balanced view and call myself spiritual rather than claiming to be a member of one religious sect. For some, this is a bit of a cop out because they don’t want to necessarily be associated with…

    It is trendy these days to talk about setting and keeping boundaries, which to many may seem either a luxury or an impossibility. There are some who may even consider it to be utter nonsense. Before we celebrated navel gazing and the sharing – or oversharing – of our feelings, people just got on with…

    This year is the year of writing for me. To achieve my writing goals, I must also take on the task of revisiting my past through memories, paperwork, and quite possibly interactions. It is always interesting to observe how the Universe works when one opens up to the possibility of whatever may come. Although I…

    One of my favorite quotes and sentiments I love from Michelle Obama is “When they go low, we go high”. During the still mystifying drama that occurred at the end of last year, I came across this quote on FB and saved it because it hit home in the moment and as part of my…

    If reading my blog posts hasn’t taught you anything else about me, I hope that it has been abundantly clear that I LOVE a plan 💜. Part of my planning process is – appreciating – what has worked and what has not. Over a two-year-period, I used a bullet journal 📖 style of organizing, tracking,…

    Click here to see my post on FB showing a video of pics as part of the One Second A Day that represent moments of the past year. Since holiday decorations 🎄are considered to be acceptable until the 7th of January, I am borrowing that acceptance when it comes to reflecting and planning for the…

  • From Kerfuffle to Positivity

    There was a shadow cast that I knew had light on the other side, but lingered over me as I processed how the reaction of the very few was able to trigger a chain reaction with overblown responses resulting in unacknowledged ultimatums and bullying tactics because fear and a perpetual state of feeling injustice ruled…

    Relationships always have ups and downs, whether romantic or platonic. I value my relationships as treasures and gifts that can never be replaced, because – well – they can’t. Whether or not one believes in God or a higher being, it shouldn’t be a stretch of the imagination nor acceptance to acknowledge that people come…
