Welcoming Back to Slow Blogging
After a break of writing, and collecting thoughts, I decided to come back to writing after life has calmed down.
A Much Needed Break
First of all, I know. I was gone for mostly a year without a word or a peep. I should have said something, written, communicated—but I didn’t. I couldn’t bring myself to open my blog in all this time. Don’t know what it was, but I was full of all sort of emotions that...
Forgiving Others For Your Sake
Welcome back my family in Christ. Sunday’s gospel talked about anger. Actually, it was the central theme for all the readings. Have you ever read something and immediately thought, “Wow! I needed that today?” Yeah, I did too. This topic intrigued me in the past and...
The Grief of Today
I was watching two segments of the news the other day. What I watched was a raw human emotion—grief. The first was a father who lost his son in Seattle and how no one talked to him about it. The second was an 8-year-old girl who lost her life in Atlanta. Both were...
Finding The Light
I was pouring over the news in the morning, and read that a cancer patient in NYC took his own life, after finding out he was infected with the Corona Virus. The nurses found him and tried to revive him but it was too late for him. This is how I started my reflection...

It is the 5th week of Lent. It’s been two weeks since my parish offered public Mass. It’s been three weeks since I’ve sat in the pews. This season of Lent has been completely different for me and my family–as I can imagine it has been for every family. This week has hit me especially hard.
The Gift of Starting Anew
November 2nd was All Souls Day, and it was the first time my parish celebrated our Lady of Purgatory. I woke up in the morning excited to join our parish in our All Souls’ Day event. My kids were excited, and we were ready. Then Z2 woke up with a fever and all the...
Relieving The Worry Bug
For as long as I can remember, I have always worried. It was something that was part of who I was, and what I did. My mind would wander off to the worst possible scenario. Even when writing on my blog, I would worry about how I would be perceived,...
Practicing the Graces Through Motherhood
I don’t talk too much about motherhood on my blog. Honestly, I don’t know why. It’s what I do. I’m a mother. I wake up, and I work for my family, and then I go to sleep still working (because I co-sleep). To actually talk...
