{One Friday Moment }


A single image capturing a moment.
A simple, special extraordinary moment.

A moment rummaged from my weekends with my niece that I want to pause, savor and remember.

    looks like so much fun -- i can practically hear her girlish giggles!

    luckly she's 'attended' because there are severe consequences for unattended children as my moment shows (hehe!):

I have revisited Jan Neel 's post on Sometimes I Wish having in mind Linda Lee 's challenge to me.  Neverland  29 July 2012 Vision Board  I lifted some photos from google The children from May Christine Tandoc The bride and groom from Jim Brandano It took me a few days of reflection and loads of email advices how come some priorities have been pretty messed up. What was it that I really wanted out of this? What is it that I truly want in my  life right now ? I was made aware of the reality that no fairy dusts would lift any of my dreams up... I recalled writing one of my friends a message, there is only one sign that is needed...  and I included it in my VB... 4 August 2012 Vision Board I lifted some photos from google The painting of Home for Children was done by my dad The drawings on the left by me (adapted from different sources) The cross, piano and pastel were my shots As if perfected in such a fashion ~ it has allowed me ...

Sometimes I wish...

We're halfway through our Blog Hop I'm the 14th among 28 beautiful souls participating in this event. I wrote this as I read Mary's post over her blog  Living with Food Allergies and Celiac Disease   . I am humbled and touched by your kindness Mary. You are so loved BS! Thank you! ----- I used to ask God for enormous things like a 'stigmata' (either on my left or right hand).  Just like the one San Francesco and Padre Pio had...

Love Memories

I had a very lively discussion with my mom early this morning. We ate "current issues" for breakfast ~ same sex marriages, relationships, single parenthood, life back then and now. I asked how she and dad reached forty-one years together ~ it wasn't an easy life. She said the younger generation either fears or eschews "sacrifice" and 'self-denial' ~ those are important ingredients to family life ~ sacrifice is the language of love [cf Bishop James Conley]. Sacrifice took a new meaning in my life when I discerned to become a single celibate ~ gone was a life of security, of forming a family, of having children... the Lord gave me "other" families and children. "Real love is being open to the love that comes to you.  The LOVE that surprises us ."  ~ Pope Francis,   Meeting with the youth of Manila  ~ Love presented itself as a "twin heart" ~ one who loves Jesus dearly. For a while, I thought it would end...
