Happiness Is Where Our Heart Is
My family's unwavering belief in me makes me feel that I can do anything, be anything. This blog is about the people that made a difference in my life and the many journeys we made together. Because of them,I get to dream again...and those dreams, they remind me each day that life is a gift and a blessing. A blessing that is full of goodness, joy and hope.

Mask, People and Demons
We all have our masks. We wear them everyday at work and places we can’t show who we are and what we feel. We wear that mask to hide and protect our hearts from the familiar, repetitive pain, judgement and … Continue reading
Same Walk, Different City
Did my long city walk today after months of unhealthy sedentary lifestyle. Same walk, very different city. The fear is gone only to be replaced with something else…loss. Some permanently, others temporarily. Either way, victims continue to struggle for survival … Continue reading
