The World Now The world we live in now Makes me nervous somehow Traffic jam. Pollution. Gasoline price fluctuation. Obstruction. Destruction. Manners and values reduction. Fake things, consumption.

A Birdie Reminder, Cymplified!
Living in the city, in a very industrialized one, I perpetually long for clean air. That is why I sometimes bug my hubby to take the family to parks or places with grassy spaces where the children can run and inhale fresh air. While I was carrying my baby and looking out the screen door to the balcony (no doubt dreaming of a country home with a porch and a backyard), I saw several Maya birds. With the severe lack of trees, and the noise pollution caused by passing tricycles and passenger … [Read more...]

A Mother’s Heart {Filled with Love}, Cymplified!
Since it's still February, I'd like to talk more about love. Specifically, a mother's heart that is filled with love.

According to the book, a … [Read more...]
Love Is, Cymplified!
The popular Bible passage on love: I Corinthians 13:4-8 (NIV) 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails.
