One Word, One Verse and One Saint for 2016

I was supposed to write a year-ender post last December 31, as a way of counting all our blessings, and encouraging you all to do the same. It was supposed to be a "fitting way" to end the year... for me, at least. 😉 But, as fate would have it, the Internet didn't cooperate with … Continue reading One Word, One Verse and One Saint for 2016

READ, WATCH and REFLECT: Meet the True “Supermom”!

I have a raw, honest (and very embarrassing) confession to make: This past month -- my birthday month! -- I have had a lot of downright ugly, crying episodes and "crazy mama" breakdowns. 😦 It's like I was on a big emotional roller coaster ride, and while many people say that it could be mostly due to … Continue reading READ, WATCH and REFLECT: Meet the True “Supermom”!

So, when things go wrong, I usually blame myself, and end up feeling down and depressed. Here's … Continue reading READ, WATCH and REFLECT: Even Jesus Needed Help
