Last week was a stressful one for me. I don’t want to get into the details. Instead, I would like to share a few things I learned. I am not always right – it might come as a surprise to many of you, but there are times I am wrong. For example, no matter how … More Weekly Gratitude – 32 #SoulfulSunday
Life is full of surprises, both positive and negative ones. When we are ready to welcome the positive surprises that life hands us, then it’s our duty to accept the negative ones, too.

The broken kaleidoscope wasn’t reflecting darkness. Neither did it trap black spots. The broken kaleidoscope reflected more colors with a vengeance. Pieces of blue, pink, orange, green, yellow, and a mix of more colors. It sparkled brilliantly as the more broken pieces accumulated. Broken doesn’t have to mean losing the ability to shine.

I remember writing them, the hesitation and the desire to show them, the sort of disbelief on my parents’ face, the feeling of content … More My Journey of Self Discovery #SoulfulSunday

Someone in my friend list posted their school photo and others commented “those were the best days”, “if only we could relive those days”, etc. Often when I hear this statement the question … More Those Were The Best Days! #SoulfulSunday
Inspiration. It’s a loaded word. This word has so much responsibility. I have been looking to find some inspiration with no luck over the past few weeks. The inspiration to write, that is. And then I find her standing in our community pool of all the places. Some ten days ago we two guys installing … More The Pool Guardian #SoulfulSunday
