3 Steps to Recharge and Reclaim Your Life!
It's no secret that life is hard, even on a good day. When you throw kids, bills, and unexpected emergencies in the mix, you've got yourself a cocktail of what is known as "adulting." Sometimes it can feel like if you do it right, you'll have everything paid and no money leftover, happy children with zero time for yourself, and dinner made with a few extra pounds to boot. Hey, I'm not here to disagree with your reality. I am here to acknowledge both sides of the big picture. On one hand, you may feel overwhelmed and uninspired. On the other hand, you still wake up every day and wonder: Is this it? Is this the best that life has for me? The answer is: absolutely not!

The Last Train
The Last Train I wasn’t a depressive. I was a “wounded optimist.” Once, I even found the emotional strength to join a few dating apps and dream about a long, romantic vacation in Europe.

Dominican Stewed Beans
I learned how to make this recipe when I moved to the Dominican Republic 11 years ago with my one and two-year-old daughters. It was my first time on a plane, and I was flying across an ocean.

I was bombarded with happy faces hoping to carry my bags for a tip. The taxi driver drove so fast to the hotel; you’d think we were the getaway car. Later that evening, I found myself dining at a beachfront restaurant. I ordered a dish called pollo guisado, with rice and beans on the side. The beans were so good; I remember thinking... who knew? Beans aren’t blah in this country. Oh no, they’re just as delicious as the meat.

The Pleiadian Pledge
I don’t know how I survived... Saying that a lot of people died is a devastating understatement.

The aftermath left cities reeking of decaying corpses while those alive were reduced to their lowest, primitive natures.
