Filled to be emptied again.
For a good portion of my life (about 8 years), I was heavily involved in different church ministries at my local parish. The majority of the time I was involved was spent serving with the Cross+Trainer Retreat Ministry. I firmly believe committing years to cross+training was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, not just for personal growth, but because I knew I was planting seeds and...

To new adventures & chasing your dreams.

The position is unpaid, but I get to work remotely (from home) and get compensation for any mileage I...

Carpe Diem. I think there are many ways to interpret how someone is supposed to seize the day. When I think about living my days as if it’s my last, I don’t necessarily think about doing all the crazy things I have yet to experience. I think about the positive things I can be doing, ways I can be love to people, and how I want people to remember me. Most of the time, I think about the...

1 year down :)
My first year of grad school has come to a close!! My, how time flies. A year ago, I was jobless, living at home, and doing absolutely nothing productive with my life. Now, I am jobless, living at home, and studying (well, actually not anymore…so, hire me!). HA.
I’m really blessed and thankful that I got through this school year successfully. I’m also very thankful that I found...

It’s okay to not know what you’re going to do after graduation. If there’s one piece of advice I’d give to the present and future generations it would be to stay proactive and passionate.

The Five Freedoms
theangrytherapist:
To see and hear what is here instead of what should be, was, or will be.
To say what one feels an thinks, instead of what one should.
To feel what one feels, instead of what one ought.
To ask for what one wants, instead of always waiting for permission.
To take risks in one’s own behalf, instead of choosing to be only “secure” and not rocking the boat.

The first things I read when I refereshed my Facebook app were “OMG THEY GOT OSAMA”, “Oh shit”, “Finally, after 10 years!”, “HELL YA, HE’S DEAD!”etc. I told my friend and our reaction was one of confusion, since President Obama had yet to give his official...
