Develop grit when things are up in the air

Ditching my fears and replacing them with courage, perseverance and passion, I packed my clothes and walked under the rain. I pulled out my wet suitcase to the train station with one nagging question in my brain. How's my grit? I didn't care if my clothes were wet nor how many hours to reach my new" home," who will be my roommates and what job to find. Riding a train on a six-hour trip with my wet suitcase was not my dilemma but how to develop grit now that things are up in the air.  "Rejection and naysayers aren't that vital in the grand scheme of things. So don't let them conquer your ..read more

Dearest Renee, Thank you for putting yourself together after experiencing abandonment, broken marriage, defeat, betrayal and scarcity. It's healing to see you not resisting but accepting at the same time moving gradually and surely of what you need and want without overreaching, only self-mastery. I'm impressed on how you forgave and closed your past without banging the door. One wintry night we conversed,  I attentively listened to every word you uttered, that self-talk is still vivid in my memory, no gaps nor lapses.  The apartment was dark, no electricity, it was freezing, neighbors ..read more

It's a cool weekend at Union Square, Manhattan, the historic intersection and urban park overload with cuteness and a year-round green market, organic fruits, eggs, vegetables from local farmers are very appealing. Pews around the park are inviting to relax, get a free hug from a stranger if you want and take a slice of New York City. Different people from around the globe you can get the chance to meet and observe with unique way of presenting themselves yet you can categorize them and surprisingly different yet almost similar to a degree. Union Square is one of my favorite places to chil ..read more

Bloom and Blossom

"A flower doesn't compete with the flowers next to it, it just blooms!" This quotation captured my imagination and brought back the youthful vitality in me. Tapping into my full potential without hesitation,  taking action and not holding back to become the best version of myself. Really? Is this applicable to a single mom like me? "It's never too late to be what I might have been." Let this profound truth sink in your head. Nothing is wasted in this lifetime. Even our most embarrassing  failures were lessons learned. The worst bankruptcy is when we lose our love of life. Whenever you f ..read more

How is your emotional hygiene?

Wearing denim shorts with white sneakers, forgetting my skinny jeans for now to give my legs more freedom is my way to keep myself light upfront while sipping dark roast brewed coffee. Looking around at Starbucks,  I see two types of people. The defeated look when life takes its toll and shows in their faces and the second group who project themselves light. I assume the latter are not exempted from stress but their ways of carrying themselves and handling  pressures make the difference. As a single mom, my responsibilities are enormous and doubled compared to those who have spouses to pro ..read more

How do you view your inner child?

I savor a pensive phase as I write this topic. Into a thoughtful mode, self-assessment not just on the surface and extrinsic presentation of my filtered photos in the digital world is the most charming style but the authentic way to view myself within, unfolding each layer and digging the deepest wounds. Self-talk starts and it's an interrogation with my mouth shut but my heart bleeds seeing the inner child within me in pain. I pause and go slow while using my senses to tap into what is happening around me and inside of me in this moment. As babies, we all start out pure and innocent. We ..read more
