2014: Live it with Intention!

Last year my husband and I kept saying we wanted to write a list of goals that we wanted to accomplish but never got around to it. Plus with me in school and then switching jobs, it left little room for us to really sit down and plan out any vacations so we would often just do… Continue reading 2014: Live it with Intention!

My 20 Year Journey

I remember June 1993 at Santa Ana Edison Field so clearly…I just don’t remember the exact calendar day. But I do remember how excited I felt to be surrounded by so many of my fellow Saddleback High School seniors and standing in line as we were preparing to enter the field and start our graduation… Continue reading My 20 Year Journey

Like Fingers Wrapped Around My Neck

I should be working on my research paper that is due on Thursday but instead I am sitting here needing to write because I feel like the emotions I am having right now are like fingers wrapped around my neck, choking me slowly. I am almost scared to put this out there because I am… Continue reading Like Fingers Wrapped Around My Neck

Honestly, don’t even know what to call this post. Disliking “time”

Mondays are always the most exhausting at work. Sometimes it just feels like an endless sea of donations to sort through and as I see the clock nearing the end of my shift I feel relieved to go home but also a bit worried that things weren’t left as clean or completed as I would… Continue reading Honestly, don’t even know what to call this post.

And then I said “you go girl!”

I think I had an out of body experience the other day, or at least as close to what one can have while fully awake and alert to everything happening around you at that specific moment. It had been a busy and productive day at work and as I was driving back home I was… Continue reading And then I said “you go girl!”

Happiness is…

…Singing my daughter her bedtime song as she rests her head on my left shoulder, then suddenly she lifts herself up just inches from my face and begins to softly “brush” my hair and then tenderly place her hands on my cheeks, then going back to leaning her head on my shoulder. Thank you Lord… Continue reading Happiness is…

The smell of burning rubber can’t be good

I am officially a mom, I’m driving around in a Mini Van. Correction, I am actually driving around in my brother’s Mini Van. This past Sunday we celebrated my niece’s birthday party, her first step into double digits. They live in Anaheim (we live in Santa Ana) so the plan was to meet up at… Continue reading The smell of burning rubber can’t be good

Closing May

May is ending on a wonderful note. I could probably break this down into two separate posts but I’m so eager to talk about both things that I’m squeezing it all in one. Yesterday was our 4 year anniversary! I know it may sound so cheesy but I truly feel so blessed by the wonderful… Continue reading Closing May

Idyllwild – Pine Cove

I started to write this post during one of my many moments of rest during our family getaway to Idyllwild. We’re back home now and pretty much settled in and I thought I would share some of our pictures and finish the thoughts I started… Today is our third day in Idyllwild and it has been such… Continue reading Idyllwild – Pine Cove
