Life of Inefficiency

Life of Inefficiency

I was sitting in the dark, holding Joy’s hand to sleep with one hand and swiping my phone with the other. Suddenly, I felt so lousy. “Why can other mummies don do so many things, but I can’t?” Then God enlightened me. I’ve got limitations. 

Worry and Hope

Worry and Hope

I’ve heard about the downside of worrying, like what Newt Scamander said in the movie Fantastic Beasts, “Worrying means you suffer twice.” Or how worrying prolonged your suffering to start earlier than it should. Or how worrying makes you suffer for nothing when in the 

Bread of God

Bread of God

God spoke much to me through the bread-making/inner healing workshop at Panis The Village. So I asked my hubs to attend. He returned home with the bread and kept saying it wouldn’t be nice. He had made a mistake and added too much flour to

Mindfulness: Being Present

Mindfulness: Being Present

I can time travel. Not physically though, although I wish I could. Travelling to another time period on earth is like travelling to another country, or rather, another multiverse, where the ways and things of life are much different from now. Anyway, I meant I 

Faith, Flow, and Elijah

Faith, Flow, and Elijah

Faith. This juncture of faith and doubt felt similar to what I’ve experienced a decade ago. Quit without a job? What are you going to do? Years came by and left without a solid answer, or at least an answer satisfactory in the eyes of
