The definition of forgiveness according to Psychologists is as “a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance toward a person or group who has harmed you, regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness.”  Easier said, It is letting go of resentment and anger against someone. While this sounds very good toContinue reading “Forgive, even when it is hard:”

The year 2020 for me, like most of you in the world, has been very rough.  It has definitely been the longest year of my life.  A little less than two months ago, I lost my grandpa, and now my dog, Kaiser of 4 years, was hit by a car and has passed away.  IContinue reading “Kaiser: Run in heaven”

Recently, I have been asked by a few people if I have lost weight.  It’s a pretty great feeling even if I don’t know if I have really lost weight.  One thing that I wanted to mention first is that I didn’t necessarily try to lose weight this year.  My main goal after last yearContinue reading “You were created by God and are therefore, Beautiful:”

Since I have become a teacher, I have started to notice the stereotypes that follow many teachers in television and movies, specifically in teen shows and movies.  They may seem as though they are the mean adults that sometimes work hard to ruin the main character (a high schooler’s life).  Why does it seem asContinue reading “The Teacher Stereotype”

Recently I was given a coloring book that includes verses, and this is how I was reminded of the beautiful verse of Psalm 42:2 that says, “My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.”  This verse is beautiful, and it also serves as a big reminder as to how we should live our life. Continue reading “Thirsting for God:”

However, something I tried to do that first weekend was remember some of the good times I had with my papa. Continue reading “The Gratitude that creates Joy”

Harmony is important, and this is something that seems to be lacking in the world today. It seems to me that all people see on the internet and on the television is people not living in harmony with anyone, specifically those of opposing political or religious views.  I believe because of that, there is aContinue reading “The many caveats of Harmony”

I love to golf.  I used to spend a lot of time golfing when I was in high school when I was on the golf team.  After I graduated, I didn’t golf as much because I didn’t have a golf partner.  This past year, I was determined to start golfing, even if that meant golfingContinue reading “Golf: a measure of anxiety”

This last week my grandpa, my papa, passed away.  I am deeply sad about everything, and I was definitely shocked.  But I am going to use this blog as a way to remember my dear grandfather.  I grew up with my grandpa for the first five years of my life.  I lived there while myContinue reading “My Papa”

For those who know me, they know that I have really developed a love for running.  This has not always been there, but I have really started to develop into a runner.  I have completed quite a few 5ks, 10ks, and one half marathon.  (That being one of my proudest accomplishments in my life).  ThisContinue reading “Finish the race strong:”
