I have children ages six, three and two. Being a mom to these very young children could really be physically and emotionally draining, finding me at wit's end most of the time.

And, sometimes, when I was about to start eating, that's when the little ones would ask me to get something or have the need to do number 2. *sighs* My body is not my … [Read more...]
Finding Beauty, Cymplified!
The city where I am located has many factories and manufacturing establishments, maybe even more than residences. The 3-storey house that I live in is old and signs of its age are showing in the cracks on the walls and other places. I am worried about the air quality of this city and also worried about this house falling apart. Often I would wish to move into a new home, a home of my dreams which would be a fine place to raise the children. But, for now, my desire would remain a wishful … [Read more...]

One Word For 2014 Is Freedom, Cymplified!
I have always felt like a dark cloud is following me everywhere I go. Everywhere I look I am reminded of it. This dark cloud is made up of a cluttered desk resulting in me writing and blogging on the dining table, of the children's toys unsorted and overflowing, of digital pictures scattered - in the PC, in the USB, in the laptop, of untold stories I haven't yet shared on my blog, and other things on my growing to-do list with unchecked tasks. It's so overwhelming and I feel enslaved by this … [Read more...]
