Life is like a watercolor. The process of painting a watercolor is like living. How? Gather our materials. Pencil, eraser, paper, paintbrushes, glass or jar of water, palette, watercolor paint, scratch paper and tissue paper. In life: We are equipped with these "materials" to make the kind of "watercolor painting" or life we want. Sketch our picture. Maybe even recreate our inspirational source such as a photo of a sunset. Use our pencils to draw with the end result in mind. In life: Here, we … [Read more...]
Plans Unplanned, Cymplified!
Prior to leaving for Singapore last April, I planned a few things I will do to feed my creative craving. Inspired by the artist @abbeysy's travel journal filled with lettering and doodles, I plotted an insertion of these activities into our tour itinerary BEFORE the cruise, so I could leisurely paint on the deck: Visit Art Friend in Bras Basah Complex.

Resurrect with Jesus on Easter, Cymplified!
Easter is like a new year for believers and followers of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here!

One Statement Instead Of One Word, Cymplified!
Happy new year! How's your 2015 so far? It's that time again for resolutions, goals, and that one word of guidance. I had my "one word" for the past two years. Technically, that makes it two words, right? They were shine and freedom. Both helped me become more intentional in parenting and in the way I want to live. Purge Before 2014 ended, I was already thinking about my one word. What will it be? My freedom was not yet achieved in the aspect of clutter of the home and of … [Read more...]
Rediscovering The Blogging Mojo In 5 Weird Ways, Cymplified!
When fear comes crippling, And doubt comes stifling. Ideas rush to my head, But won't flow to my pen. The questions are crippling. The what-ifs are stifling. I write my heart out, Yet nobody's come reading. When blogging's disheartening, When writing's discouraging, When I cannot help but To others myself comparing. Where is the light? How should I write? I have stories to tell, But my voice I cannot find. There comes a point in any journey that we undertake, blogging included, … [Read more...]
