Inspirational Daily Blogs

This blog was born during the time that I faced the crossroad of my life. When I was grappled with the uncertainties of life, I was confronted with the question, “Did I accomplish everything that I had to do?” In my quest for answers, I started writing my journey of pain, disappointments and triumphs. Somehow, I survived the malady that beseeched me but the question continued to linger. Perhaps in writing, I will find the answers by providing motivations through my various experiences as a daughter, a sister, a teacher, and a wife. 

"From this point forward, I don't even know how to quit in life."
