Almost exactly 3 years ago, I wrote a post on Finding God in House-work. I felt a prompt to revisit this topic again of late. Circumstances have changed since that post I wrote. For one, my home has also become my primary work and living space for the past 3 years. It is where I […]

Remembering those who hurt on Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day isn’t a celebration for everyone. There are many who suffer their pain in silence on this day when everybody else is celebrating, and if you happen to be one of them, this post is for you.

Being Woman
My cousin-in-law with her newborn daughter I have read somewhere that all women are mothers, even if we never have our own biological children. I have come to see how that is true. For as I mature as a person, I am finding myself more and more a mother to others. […]
Breathing in the Pause
Today was the first time in more than a week that I felt I had ample space to breathe. No gathering to prepare for, no fridge to stock, no cards to write, no presents to wrap, no pile of dishes and cutlery to wash. There were chores to be done – our home needed to […]

Thank You Frailty
Recently I watched the Martin Sheen & Emilio Estevez movie The Way for the second time. This time around, I was really struck by the lyrics of the Alanis Morisette song, “Thank You,” which could be heard poignantly at the part of the story when the main character reached a breakthrough.
