Be Beautiful, Cymplified!
Looking in the mirror, I could pinpoint a hundred things that I dislike about the way I look, that possibly only I can see. Being fed with the world's standard of beauty, I need a paradigm shift in self-imagery. And this could help me on my journey to self-acceptance. One of the ways I could obtain confidence is to accept that I am beautiful. God wouldn't make anyone and anything which is not beautiful. I believe that true beauty exudes from within. Our attitude towards beauty must come from … [Read more...]
Five Birthday Reflections, Cymplified!
My age is officially not on the calendar anymore. Friday was my birthday and I was feeling a little low. I think I made the right decision to still have dinner with my side of the family, even if I don't feel like celebrating. It uplifted me to be surrounded with loved ones. Time is a good teacher of many lessons in life. Maturing opens my eyes and makes me realize that : • I really have so much to be thankful for, really. I cannot complain and compare. To each her own blessings. • Every … [Read more...]

Respectfulness, Cymplified!
The best way to teach a lesson to a child is to model it. But, it is much easier said than done! I want to share this Parenting With Wisdom devotional I completed. It's about respectfulness and how to control being so controlling of our children that we unintentionally disrespect them as a result. PARENTAL RESPECT There’s a common problem in many homes today. Disrespect. Refusing to consider each other’s opinions, interrupting when someone’s talking, never apologizing for a mistake. … [Read more...]
Meaningful Charm Bracelet, Cymplified!
I want to start collecting charms that describe me, tell my story, remind me of a special experience/milestone/event or something that makes me smile. I got this idea from @DaphneOP. I read the entry about charms from her site daphne.ph. I have not really started searching high and low (because I know I cannot afford the ones from Links of London), the idea was just floating in and out of my mind. Is there such a thing as a coincidence? It felt that way although I know that God directs every … [Read more...]
Goodbye Babyhood, Cymplified!
Is it really goodbye babyhood for my baby? My littlest one turned 18 months old. According to Babycenter, "Many parents say that this is when they stop thinking of their child as a baby." Well, I think I would always see Cayla as our baby because she's the youngest and she's petite. But, although she's small, she's very smart and she's a quick learner. The way Cayla likes to walk around and climb chairs, not to mention her repeating the words we say and the desire to feed herself make her … [Read more...]
