When the big wins feel few and the year feels shorter than your to-do list, remember His grace didn’t take a break. It showed up in laughter, in breath, and in the strength to try again. This is a reflection on the gifts that never made the highlight reel yet made all the difference.

He Sees You
A slave girl in the wilderness running away from a mistress who was ill-treating met with God. He called her by name, gave her a promise, and she declared Him El Roi, the God who sees me. He sees you too, right where you are.
Creating Margin
A packed calendar doesn’t always mean a productive life. Creating margin is the intentional practice of leaving white space in your day to rest, think, and focus on what matters most. Block time for deep work, mark important personal commitments like school runs, and protect focus hours with “do not disturb” just as you would a board meeting. Margin is not wasted time, it is what keeps you energized, creative, and able to deliver at your best.
Their Story Is Not Your Story
Just because someone else failed doesn’t mean you will. Learn from others’ stories, but don’t let their failure inspire fear and define your future.
This and that…random thoughts from my week
We are now in August. Every month, I keep asking myself, “How did we get here this fast?” Anyway, today I am doing a this and that post where I share several themes from my week. I often do these. You can check a few from past posts. So, let’s get into it.
Surrendered Hearts And Patient Souls…The Twins Birth Story.
Next week, our twins are turning 11. Even after all these years, I still have pinch me moments where I can not believe how everything happened. So here is the back story. This is a long post. You have been warned. When we got married almost eighteen years ago, I prayed and asked God forContinueContinue reading “Surrendered Hearts And Patient Souls…The Twins Birth Story.”
The Power Of A Timely Thank You.
I was scrolling on LinkedIn earlier this week when a connection of mine reacted to a post about her former colleague who had passed away. Suddenly, my timeline was flooded with tributes, testimonies, and stories about how kind this man was. Every time someone shared a post, my connection reacted, and thanks to the algorithm,ContinueContinue reading “The Power Of A Timely Thank You.”
Remembering My Father’s Voice
It’s Father’s Day weekend. And it’s also four years since my own father passed on. Grief is strange in that it wraps itself around days like this. Even when you are doing okay, it tugs gently at your heart, reminding you of what once was. And who once was.I have been thinking a lot aboutContinueContinue reading “Remembering My Father’s Voice”
The Self-Made Illusion
We often celebrate the idea of being “self-made,” but is anyone truly self-made? Even Jesus, in fulfilling His divine mission, relied on a close circle of people from disciples to friends and supporters. This post unpacks the myth of individual success and highlights the power of community, support, and God-ordained relationships in our personal and professional journeys. It’s time we traded self-sufficiency for grace-filled interdependence.
Shinning Without Overshadowing: Navigating Power Dynamics In The Workplace
I recently came across a post on LinkedIn about one of the most quoted and debated laws in Robert Greene’s The 48 Laws of Power. Law 1 says, “Never outshine the master.” The idea is simple, make your superiors feel superior. Don’t threaten their status. After decades in corporate, I understand the principle and haveContinueContinue reading “Shinning Without Overshadowing: Navigating Power Dynamics In The Workplace”
I did it, afraid!
Courage doesn’t come before the leap!
Nurturing Friendships In The Midst of Career And Motherhood Demands
There’s no shortage of people I can sit with and have a genuine laugh with, and just share life with. But when it comes to actually finding a time that works for both of us? That’s where the real struggle begins. Somewhere between work meetings, school pick-ups, extra-curricular activities, and personal development, friendships seem to take a backup seat. Even when we both mean well and want to meet up, it turns into a long back and forth of “what about next month?” or “can we try again after this project ends?”
And don’t get me started on time zones. Some of my closest friends are spread across different parts of the world now. When I’m finally free for a chat after bedtime routines, they’re fast asleep or knee-deep in their own daily madness. Coordinating a simple phone call feels like planning an international summit sometimes.
Because Sunday Always Comes!
Ever since my father passed, seasons like Easter, Christmas, and even my birthday feel different. Driving home, knowing he will not be there to welcome us, is something I will never get used to. I miss his warm welcome, his stories, and his presence. The ache of missing him comes in quiet waves. But even in that grief, Easter still carries hope.

Rain, Traffic And Power Outages… Not Always A Bad Thing!
Continuous rain comes with its fair share of inconveniences. Children’s school extra mural activities were canceled all week! Kids were stuck indoors, and that’s when the screen time battles began. And please don’t get me started on traffic, because somehow, the moment it rains, as drivers we seem to collectively lose their ability to drive! And of course, with that much rain, the electricity outages follow. Always. Without fail!
But even the rain has its lessons.

Rewrite your default settings…
Between work deadlines and family obligations, it often feels like you are stretched too thin with no breathing room. But what if the issue isn’t your to-do list but the default settings you have been operating on?
