I've been seeing several posts on social media about #SunShorts, the series of short films produced by Sun Life Financial to commemorate Financial Independence Month, so I decided to look for and watch the films. This is actually the second series of #SunShorts videos, and I thought I'd share them here.

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

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
