As Long As You’re Alive

June 8, 2013

After a heart to heart with my awesome friend talking about life, I was inspired to write this post. It came to me, “as long as you’re alive” and I wanted to share it with you.

We all know too well that as beautiful and wonderful life may be, it also has its bumps, trials and tribulations. At times we may be feeling weary, incompetent or so stressed that we may wonder if this is the path that God has chosen for us. But I want to remind you that as long as you’re alive there is always time for change, second chances, trying again and hope.

I’m a journal collector (save that for another post) so I write down everything. I mean everything as in any little scribble, thought, idea, feeling and more. It’s very therapeutic and keeps me on track. I also have a goal board, which I try to update often because I like to keep goals specific (like a month or 2 month goal). I place it in our bedroom near my headboard so I can have a daily reminder of my goals. I don’t have a photo of mine at the moment but here are a few similar/ideas I found online:

The point is no matter how small your struggle or issue, as long as you’re breathing and have a willingness then it is never too late. With God all things are possible, so be the best of you that you can be!

So till next time be Ready As You Can Be!

Just Do It: Ready Edition

April 22, 2013

I have spent months trying to figure out the right template and design or the new vision I have for the blog. I have been looking for signs, viewing other websites to get an idea/formula for the blog. I know what my mission is but my vision is blurred. With all the ideas in my head, I keep going back and forth wondering if it would make sense to combine it all. A part of me thinks a clear vision is separating each idea on its own, possibly a second blog.

I have been fighting with the idea so much (which caused a waste of time, months in fact!) because I was looking to conform to what would make sense. I was concerned about not confusing my readers, keeping my personal separate from the idea. It dawned on me today that if it made sense and conformed to the usual then it wouldn’t be original. Therefore, I have decided to stop trying to fit my ideas in specific categories or divide them and to just get it done.

So here goes to figuring it out and just doing it!

Time Flies: My SuperHero

March 29, 2013

Superheroes come in all forms, sizes with different characters and unique abilities.

According to merriam-webster.com, a superhero is a fictional hero having extraordinary or superhuman powers; also : an exceptionally skillful or successful person. Luckily for me, my earthly super hero is not fictional but is sitting near by in front of his PS3. So much for fighting the villain/arch nemesis!

I’m sitting back in disbelief thinking about how time flies; we are about 4 months shy of our 2 year anniversary. I’m still learning to process and understand our roles as husband and wife. We have our trials but nonetheless we are having fun and enjoying this union. That’s why it was so fitting for my husband to wear a superman shirt during our 1 year anniversary shoot (more like 1 year, 5 months). The idea played well in my head but it took a couple of shots before we got the right one (where he wasn’t looking uncomfortable :-).

The best part of our photo shoot, aside from all the fun I had putting the props/setting together, was the location. We went back to where we said “I do”. I can remember the details of the wedding as if it was yesterday. What a great feeling to be able to go back to the location and feel the same joy and excitement as the day you were touring wondering if this was the place. Finding the location was as exciting as finding the wedding gown.

Only God knows the future and what it entails but in the mean time I will count my blessings and hope as you read this you too can look up and smile at your superhero. My intent is not to prove that one needs a significant other to make it in this life but a mere reflection that God has sent me my very own superhero and I feel truly blessed.

Here is a little spoiler of photos we took of our 1 year anniversary.
