TearsI silently yelped into my blanket crying. Mom flew back to Texas after coming to DC for the Holidays. I was already missing her presence. I was also crying with gratitude. The New Year sparked a reflection over my stroke and following recovery. I stared at my pushchair/wheelchair that I previously used to depend on […]
Rock Bottom – How I know I’ve been doing it wrong
There is no one rock bottom. There are several. Whether rock bottom be in your career, home life, family or relationship, they cannot be equated to one another. It’s like, have you ever had that feeling that you’re at a turning point in your life? That your current chapter is about to end? Sometimes it […]
Tuesday Food for Thought
For the past two weeks I have been waking up around 5:30 am. I do yoga and/or a more high impact workout, shower and hit the books. I did it to improve my time management, health and to hopefully improve my academics. The former two definitely improved, but the latter needed some tweaking. Sigh, why […]

Heading Out West
Well, the Willies Clan is on the road! Mom and I haven’t slept since yesterday and we headed out around 3:45 am from Houston. We hit traffic at 5 am within Houston on I-10 of all times! Anywhoo, I saw my granny yesterday for a quick goodbye and of course she was acting like she […]
A Grandmother’s Love
