I had two really neat encounters with complete strangers this week and it made me think about my experience with strangers as I was growing up. Of my brother and I, I remember being the shy and introverted girl while my brother was always the one striking up conversations with strangers, as in literally like by… Continue reading Friendly Encounters
When I was in High School I had this vision of graduating from college with a degree in English at age 22 and then of course meeting the love of my life and getting married by age 24 and having my first child within a couple of years of that. Little did I know then that non… Continue reading At 36, I’m ready for each new adventure
Today my husband and I treated ourselves to dinner out at one of our favorite Sushi spots, this small and lovely place called Sankai in Santa Ana. We got to sit at the Sushi bar and that’s always such a treat because I love being able to see the different creations and observe the chefs. I told… Continue reading A Little Treat
Lately I have been surprised by so many acts of kindness and love that I’m at a loss for words in expressing my gratitude to God and my family/friends and all I can say is a heartfelt Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Back then it seemed hard to believe when people would tell me to just wait… Continue reading Hello Energy!

But one thing is for certain, things can not always remain as they are. Even if you feel you’re at your happiest and things couldn’t get any better, life is… Continue reading Change
It’s been quite a while since my last post and that’s because I’ve been truly enjoying this time off after finishing my Spring semester at school. I can’t even begin to explain the relief I felt when I finished my last final, pure bliss. Now that I have all this extra free time there are no more… Continue reading This Bump of Mine
It’s been an overwhelming past few days, not in a negative way though. So many beautiful things have happened and the emotion is so overwhelming that I don’t quite know what to do with it. You know that pain you feel when you’re heartbroken or something very bad has happened? Well I feel the depth… Continue reading Joy
