Random Tidbits, Volume 1
For my future son, Tozier. Ever since I first picked up Stephen King's novel IT, it has had a special place in my, albeit limited, reading collection. Although I may be sacrificing the truth in some ways, I think that if I was any character from that lore, it would be Richie. I have always liked his name. As a matter of fact, my paternal grandfather's name was Richard. I never met him, and the name is so common that coincidence is all it is, surely, but I feel called to say something about it, regardless.

International Women’s Day 2022
International Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the historical, cultural, and political achievements of women. This day is observed from Iceland to Pakistan, in support of working towards gender inequality around the world. We all know the world couldn't run without women; wouldn't want it to either!

A Letter to My Daughter
Today, in meditation/yoga, I realized the power that a mother-daughter relationship has on the history of an entire family tree. Hurt daughters turn into hurt mothers. So ladies, heal yourselves. It’s a long, scary journey but for the sake of your daughter, you have to do it. The women in my family hail from women who ingrained negativity in their hearts. You can see the urge to resist the message tracks that have been laid since the days of slavery. You’re pretty, you’re light skinned, you’re a dancer, you’re better than them. When in essence, no one is better than anyone else.

Are You Drowning in Inflation?
The above is NOT our house. But it could be, if the economy doesn’t turn around in the next couple of years. Political pundits claim we are in the midst of record job growth and an economic boom. I’m not sure I buy it. I find that the current inflationary problem is devastating the average American middle class family.

Grief in the Hands of a Child
When I was little, my faith came easily. You could not convince me that God didn’t exist, just as surely as the sun will rise. I have always been a trusting person: saying “hello” to anyone, giving strangers hugs – let me just tell you how much I terrified my mother! – and believing the best in others, even if they may not deserve it. With an easy smile and sunny disposition, my childhood nickname at school was “Smiley.”

Life always needs its own
If the feeling inside a person dies, then the fine fragments of these broken, shattered relationships are given such wounds which are full of bitterness in some relationships in the world along the way. In which a negative thought often arises in the mind as soon as we hear the name of the relationship but sometimes we fill this bitterness for our own reasons and sometimes others play an important role in filling the bitterness in this relationship. Then there are the delicate relationships such as mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, Nand, brother-in-law, Deorani, Jethani and most of all, the couple's relationship which is filled with bitterness due to our slightest mistake.

The Last Outfit My Father Wore
Three years ago, after my father's passing on February 26, 2019, I started gathering my father's clothing to either donate or take for safekeeping. Along with my mother, I spent time looking through his side of the closet, reminiscing of the times he wore specific articles of clothing and deciding whether the memory warranted cherishing through guardianship.

The Gift Card
January, 2022 The storefront door slammed shut as another customer entered. The howling winds of winter was upon us as we all stood in line waiting to be seated or to pick up takeout. Trying to smile behind face masks chatter was little. The past two years in this time of Covid felt as though the world had frozen, and the weather was just catching up.

MY SON'S CLASSMATE PASSED FROM COVID -19
Where do we spend most of our time? In our bedrooms, living rooms, recliner, or just at home relaxing! Finding a safe place for all the disagreements and chaos that may occur. The Normal Rhythm is to see JESUS as our savior in our everyday lives!

Cancer as reality
As a young lady who comes from a family that suffers from cancer in both bloodlines, I was highly interested in this topic. I remember learning that mass cell reproduction was the cause of cancer at the cellular level, but I never understood what caused this rapid reproduction. I begin to investigate the spiritual aspects of it and learned it’s an imbalance that occurs within. Which could possibly explain why doctors are not able to detect the cancer or much less the causing of it. My goal in this paper is to explain my experience of cancer as well share screening information from the American Cancer Society website.

Family Feud
From the Disney movie Lilo and Stitch, Lilo and her older sister had a mantra that stated “Ohana means family, and family means no one gets left behind”. In an article I read, family was described as an emotional connection between a collective of individuals. In society family has various meanings. One may describe a family member as loyal, and others may use the word love to describe the relationship. Over time there has been a reformation of the value and definition of what makes or defines a family.
