This past Saturday, I sang in my final choir concert of the season. It was a wonderful concert with a diverse set of music that included a couple songs in latin, German and French, but the theme of the concert was Girls Night Out because all of the songs were written by female composers. AfterContinueContinue reading “The Beginning of My Passion for Singing”

Senior Citizens of the Pet Variety
In the five-year hiatus I took from blogging, I have had so many spiritual, political and career insights that I was itching to write about, and there is still more I would like to write about. But I want to take a break from these posts to reflect on Gilbert who is still my guideContinueContinue reading “Senior Citizens of the Pet Variety”
Campaign for Causes, Vote for Good Character
One morning early in the 2016 primary race when Donald Trump was gaining traction and winning in a few states, my mom and I were eating breakfast and watching some morning news before work and I half-jokingly told my mom, “If Donald Trump gets elected, I’m moving to Canada!” “I’ll come with you,” she said,ContinueContinue reading “Campaign for Causes, Vote for Good Character”
A Better Government is Coming
I will never forget Tuesday November 8, 2016. I was in the thick of my job anxiety and was burnt out and depressed most days. But that morning, I felt energized because after work, my mom and I were going to vote, and then we were going to come home, put a gluten free pizzaContinueContinue reading “A Better Government is Coming”
Incense Woman
There are several more light-hearted posts (said facetiously) about religion and politics lined up in my head that I look forward to writing, but today I thought I would give you readers a break and write about the wonderfulness of wax melts which I bought with a couple Amazon gift cards I got for ChristmasContinueContinue reading “Incense Woman”
Practical Implications of the Restoration: Part 2
This past Thanksgiving, my sister and her husband offered to host Thanksgiving because they live in the heart of New York City and ever since I was in a choir that was invited to sing at Carnegie Hall in 2005, my parents and I had wanted to experience the Thanksgiving festivities in New York CityContinueContinue reading “Practical Implications of the Restoration: Part 2”
Practical Implications of the Restoration for Life Now: Part 1
One Tuesday morning, in the bible study I go to with my mom, the subject of Christ’s return came up and I had an opportunity to share how I was intrigued by how Jehovah’s Witnesses emphasize the return of Christ and the new system way more than mainstream Christian churches do. The leader, a karismaticContinueContinue reading “Practical Implications of the Restoration for Life Now: Part 1”
Dreaming of the Restoration
I am about to embark on what will likely be the most important blog post I ever write. Unlike most of my blog posts which have no higher purpose other than to unravel my thoughts about my own life, I sense that this post could change other people’s lives. And after this blog post, whenContinueContinue reading “Dreaming of the Restoration”
Born Again
Monday is my official birthday, but one year ago today, I had a medical crisis. Although it was an extremely scary ordeal for my parents and me that we hope never happens again, it was also an interesting spiritual experience in which I felt like I had a re-birth of sorts. I have heard thisContinueContinue reading “Born Again”
Lessons Learned: Humility
One weekend when I was in high school, my dad and I went to our state’s convention of the National Federation of the Blind. I enjoyed seeing some friends and chatting with vendors selling the latest technology to assist the blind. But Dad and I were both turned off by the pride exhibited by someContinueContinue reading “Lessons Learned: Humility”
