Love You Long Time: Life’s Toughest Lessons

January 26, 2018 by Chandra 13 Comments

Every day for the last few months I have wanted to share my thoughts, my feelings, my sentiments… but every time I went to my computer to type, the cursor just blinked at me. Overwhelmed, I would exit the screen and crawl back into my shell… I think this shell has provided me shelter from … [Read more…]

&: A Reflection of its role in Marriage

September 27, 2017 by Chandra 2,778 Comments

Ah, the ampersand… the typographical equivalent to a wedding ring, marking permanent relationships. It may be strictly by coincidence that I am drawn to this symbol, considering it was once recognized in the 19th century as the 27th (my favorite number) letter in the alphabet, following ‘Z,’ and taught for years in the British schooling … [Read more…]

Grandpa: For Alltid

August 30, 2017 by Chandra 149 Comments

There’s this burning ache… it wells up and my throat begins to close, short of breath, I panic… just as I’m able to take a deep breath, the tears fall. I try to catch them, conceal them, hide them from the world. I try to be okay. I am okay. Will be okay… right?!?!  Massive … [Read more…]

Today marks four years since I married my dream-come-true Prince Charming… Happy Anniversary my love! We dated about two and a half years before walking down the aisle… so we are still very young into our life together!

Single Moms: An Ode To You and My Reflection

May 22, 2017 by Chandra 114 Comments

Over the weekend I saw a post on Facebook about an act of kindness a man did for a single mother who couldn’t afford more than a happy meal for her young son, not able to even get herself a .99 cent hamburger, yet noticeably hungry. I know many stories on Facebook these days are part … [Read more…]

1930: A Year Worth Remembering

May 1, 2017 by Chandra 119 Comments

        We had the honor of celebrating my grandfather’s birthday yesterday… how lucky am I to have my grandfather still, alive, and well… only, he’s sort of missing. You see, my grandfather has dementia and as you may know by the clinical term, his memory is failing, disappearing into the distance, further … [Read more…]

Bubble: Burst it!

April 19, 2017 by Chandra 114 Comments

Burst your own bubble! Not the happy kind (we like those)… I am talking more about the kind of bubble that we all seem to find shelter in, our comfort zone, otherwise known as the place that we find safety and security. Why do we tend to stay in our comfort zones? Me, I find … [Read more…]

Be Selfish: It’s Okay

February 28, 2017 by Chandra 135 Comments

It’s been a bit since my last post… I’ve thought daily of posts and had every intention, however, I found myself taking a little “me time” instead. Here’s what I learned: There is absolutely no one responsible for your well-being, happiness, place in life, thoughts, feelings, and all things in between but YOU! It’s that … [Read more…]

Sons and Daughters: Raising Superheroes

January 23, 2017 by Chandra 3,529 Comments

Following the global Women’s March on Saturday, I came across a post in my feed that really captured me, it was a picture of this woman’s young daughter, maybe three years old, wearing a dress with superhero words like “wow” on it and she was wearing a gold cape. The caption read, “Strong women… may … [Read more…]

Ego: the ugly (non)truth

January 12, 2017 by Chandra 92 Comments

I think one of the hardest things in the world is to wrangle in our thoughts and transform them, especially when they are negative! It is much easier to drown than it is to float… I’m not sure why that is really? It feel so good to float… euphoric. We don’t like to wallow in … [Read more…]
