Savoir faire
I’m the type of person who is interested in psychology, theology, philosophy, and all those other subjects that give you a headache, yet make the concept of life so deep and rich. Pretty much I’m a sucker for reading, watching movies, meditating, and learning about spirituality. Beware, because after I learn something I LOVE to share it with others. Please don’t be afraid to stop...
Be still, my beating heart
She said, “Sometimes we hold on to the messenger instead of the message.”
Do you ever feel yourself doing this in life? I do, and I’ve been holding on for dear life. It’s time to loosen my grip, take a step back, and embrace the bigger picture. Fourth Sunday of Advent: I’m planning to stand in awe of the Earth’s goodness, and watch the sunset tomorrow.

Carpe diem
In my therapy classes, we often have discussions about death so that we can become more comfortable with the topic. Death is one of the top (if not the top) anxiety producing thought to humans (anxiety can be good and bad, mind you).
I understand that death is inevitable; therefore, it’s becoming more important for me to live life to the fullest. Not a time shall pass that I have regret or...
Abide with me
Third Sunday of Advent: In honor of my favorite candle, I will wear pink tomorrow!
Remembering St. John of the Cross: “Where there is no love, put love and you will find love.”
A rose is a rose is a rose
Remembering Saint Juan Diego: “I am a nobody, I am a small rope, a tiny ladder, the tail end, a leaf.” Let us practice humility :).
As a counselor in training, I am finally beginning to embrace a type of therapy! I understand I sound nerdy at this moment, but it is an exciting time in my life. Reality therapy is my favorite because it focuses on the present moment and instilling hope in others....
A thing of beauty is a joy forever
Happy birthday Mama & Happy Feast of the Immaculate Conception!

Bed of roses
Synchronicity of the weekend: SECRET!
I have recently applied “Expect the unexpected”, “Carpe Diem”, and “Don’t worry, be happy” concepts in my life, and the results have been absolute bliss. Every situation I have been in, whether good or bad, has turned out pleasantly - one way or another. I can describe how anxiety feels, but the feeling of peace is...
Standing on the shoulders of giants
Remembering St. Francis Xavier: Sending up a prayer for my five friends named Francis(es).
I’ve been carrying the world on my shoulders lately, and watching CNN everyday doesn’t help! High unemployment rate; 30,000 men and women being deployed to Afghanistan before Christmas; suicide bomber at a graduation ceremony in Somalia; and the list goes on.
I hope President Obama is frustrated. I hope...
Silver bullet
Synchronicity of the day: My friend/masseuse in training told me tonight, “Don’t pray for him to change, but to overcome.” His words of wisdom could not have come at a better time.
Sending my love.
Rhyme nor reason
Synchronicity of the day: I overheard my CEO saying she needed to sell her Disneyland ticket. I offered to buy it since I’m going there on Sunday. It turned out she only wanted $50.00 for it! So thankful! I am absolutely in love with the science of psychology! Tonight’s class was amazing, and I feel like my knowledge of human behavior and therapeutic techniques are expanding. Life in itself is...
Hit the nail on the head
Synchronicity of the day: I wanted to ask a brother to come to daily mass with me today; however, I didn’t get a chance to. Once I walked into the chapel, he was the first person I saw!
Father Bruce gave a beautiful homily today! It sparked my curiosity as to why we have Christmas parties during Advent, and rarely during the 12 days of Christmas? Sadly, for many of us, the Christmas spirit dies...
