This post is long over due. February was a busy month. I had a couple of interviews and had this feeling that I was really close to snagging a job. But that phone call I was waiting for never came. One day I was wondering if I should do the substitute training course to get a job … Continue reading From Zero to Hero in 6

My Year in Review
Even through the tangled anarchy called fate And through the bitterness of death and fall An outstretched hand is felt upon our lives. It is near in unnumbered bodies and births; In its unslackening grasp it keeps for us safe The one inevitable supreme result No will can take away and no Doom change. … Continue reading My Year in Review
Moving 101
Three moves in the past six years makes me somewhat of an authority on moving I think. I have done smaller moves within the same state in the past and that did not involve heavy furniture or movers. We simply took stuff in our car and put it in the new place, over the course of … Continue reading Moving 101
The End of a Lazy Summer
I am ready to throw a tantrum. Summer is over. Kids are back in school. I'm still home and unemployed. Feels like I just retreated back into my shell. The kids didn't complain though. They got up at 6.30 instead of 8.30 like it was the most natural thing to do! But every year I'm miserable … Continue reading The End of a Lazy Summer

The Lure of Books
Growing up in my grandma's house, where I was the only child, I quickly made friends with books. They soon became my best friends. They were there for me when I was lonely, took me to magical places far, far, away, made me laugh, cry and see things in a completely different light. Back home … Continue reading The Lure of Books
Divine Protection is Yours
I had to write this with all the fear mongering going on in the world. An older version of me would have lapped it all up and doled it out by the bushels. I know fear like a bosom buddy that back-stabbed me and left me hanging off a cliff for years. So I went to … Continue reading Divine Protection is Yours
You are Not Alone
The world has become unbearable to me. The more I try to center myself and tap into inner peace, the more junk it throws at me. I love the trash-to-treasure idea but what do you do with random acts of violence with absolutely no motive or reasoning. It's hard to erase those images from … Continue reading You are Not Alone
Love Never Dies…
Sandy hit last week and took many people with it. The pictures of the damage were heart wrenching. One cold December not too long ago we woke up freezing. A freak ice storm had left our town without power. We had to live in a friend's place and then a hotel for five days until … Continue reading Love Never Dies…
The Power of Prayer
I started jotting down my prayers in a journal sometime in early July this year. I was intrigued by the maid Aibileen in "The Help" who wrote down all her prayers in a prayer book. Everyone thought her prayers worked. I read about the same thing in "Write it Down, Make it Happen". So I … Continue reading The Power of Prayer
