You Eat Honey

Grandma liked to be the center of attention. She would feign illness so that everyone would fuss over her. One summer while I was visiting in Mexico we dropped by to spend some time with grandma. Everything was fine and everyone was enjoying sitting around and catching up with the family news. The... Sign in to see full entry.

Give Me a Ride or Else!

Grandma Rodriguez, God love her, was always angling to have attention focused on her. She didn't like to stay in one place for long and was packed and ready to go in an instant. She wanted attention from my dad, however he was always elsewhere too busy to give her the time and attention she so... Sign in to see full entry.

Abuelita

Abuelita is quite a character. I guess I would be too if I had the kind of life that she did. Born in a small town outside Beirut called Beit Chabeb but immigrated with family at early age with the threat of war breaking out in Lebanon. Her parents gave her hand in marriage as a teenager to a man in... Sign in to see full entry.

Intentions Follow Up

I have been writing lately about the importance of intentions. It's not only important to think of intentions but to focus on happiness and joy in the moment. Not a future moment that you will be happy in when this happens or that happens...be happy now! Find your joy now! I had a stack of bills to... Sign in to see full entry.

Amazing Intentions!

It is simply amazing the amount of new ideas that keep coming to me as a result of changing my focus. I don't just changed my goal orientation to intention but I also change my whole thought process. I leave the past in the past because I can't change it...no matter how much I would like to try.... Sign in to see full entry.

New Year Intentions...

Yes my new year intentions not goals. Goals keep you from feeling a sense of accomplishment until they are completed. I have been sending my intentions and letting the universe know of them the past months. I went back and looked at some of them I wrote 2 years ago. I never looked back at them until...

How will I get away from this hell on earth? Can I snap my fingers and voila! I am elsewhere? I am in search of the good life Freedom of speech To speak out against the ills of society and politics Without fear of retribution, imprisonment and torture Freedom to vote My candidate of choice To have...

Refuge from Puberty

Those tender years of puberty Raging hormones Daily surprises with my body Struggles for independence Wanting it yet not sure what to do with it World evolves around my friends Peripheral family I escape to my room Descending the steps Feeling the entwining coolness coil up my body Embracing me...
