For a stay-at-home-mom, getting all dressed up, going to the mall or dining out with the husband and the kids spell excitement for me. And when we go on vacation out-of-town or abroad, I'm cymply blown away! When I'm not out buying donuts or traveling with most of the house in our bags, I could be found feeding, bathing, and fussing over the kids at home. Every.single.day. Who am I to complain? This was my choice and I am really grateful I could do these things. I think of my previous nannies … [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...]

Mary’s Song, Cymplified!
Have you ever felt like you made a string of erroneous decisions? Have you ever felt like you are not talented, intelligent, or capable enough to succeed at whatever you try your hand at? Have you ever felt like God must have made a mistake when He called you to be a mother or a wife? My heart echoes these sentiments. Sometimes I feel like all I do is wrong and I question God about putting such big responsibilities into my hands. What if I fail? When I read Mary's song, The Magnificat, I … [Read more...]
Keep Calm And Stay Positive, Cymplified!
It is very easy to react negatively to situations that anger, annoy or frustrate us. There are times when my little children would holler "Mama!" and I would catch myself thinking "What now?" That isn't good now, is it? And so is letting the negativity affect our actions, words and the tone of our voice, thereby hurting the people whom we love the most. Who wants to be around grumpy and cranky people anyway? I don't want to push them away. I feel guilty for losing my temper with my children and … [Read more...]
Goodness, Cymplified!
They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, (1 Timothy 6:18 ESV) See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. (1 Thessalonians 5:15 ESV) Since we are all created in the image of God, I believe that people are innately good. But, how to remain good is the question. Humans are like flowers. To bloom beautifully, they must be planted on good soil - good foundation, must be watered - soaked in … [Read more...]
