How #SunShorts Reminds Us to Be “Truly Rich and Blessed” In All Aspects

The Power of Pentecost

One of the things I love about being Catholic is that we get to celebrate Easter not just for a day but for 50 days!

On Taking Care of Our Self: 3 Easy Ways to Care for Your Skin

Starting a Passion-based Business: Tina De Guzman’s Inspiring Story

This Is Why You Should Attend the Shine Forth Holy Week Retreat

Looking back to my younger years as a "nominal" Catholic growing up in a predominantly non-Christian country, I realize that I took my faith for granted for a very long time. I did not really have a personal relationship with God, and said my prayers because I was expected to; because it was our "obligation." … Continue reading This Is Why You Should Attend the Shine Forth Holy Week Retreat

A little over a year ago, I wrote one of the most honest, heartfelt and emotional posts that I have ever written here on Truly Rich and Blessed, entitled When God Doesn't Answer Your Prayers.
