This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of American Heart Association. All opinions are 100% mine. As you know, I attended a couple of blog conferences last year, and in both of them, one very important question was asked: why? Why do we do the things we do? Why do we want to do the things we want to do? Why do we want to succeed with what we're doing? As writers, as bloggers, as speakers, as entrepreneurs, as designers, and of course, as moms. What is our Why? During both of Read More
Have You Ever Had A Second Chance?
I have mentioned before that both my parents are medical doctors, and that they always wanted me to become a medical doctor too because as far as they were concerned - dad especially - medical "doctorness" was in my blood. Wrong. When I realized that the doctor thing was not going to work, I decided to try the next best thing: nursing.

Well, Hello There 2016!

And now, my glasses and my screen game also just got lit. Let me explain. I spend hours looking at some type of screen. Most times, it's my computer screen. Other times, it's my phone, and sometimes, my TV. With the exception of my television, most of my time on the other screens is work. Working on a post. Read More
Let Me Tell You About My Parents And Their Lack Of Technical Skills
First of all, both of my parents would benefit greatly from a technology class because they're both seriously and dangerously behind, but my mom is a bit better than my dad. My mom can open, read, and send text messages. My dad, on the other hand, can't do either. He claims that he has sent me text messages, but I am yet to receive one single one, so only he and his Chi know where or how he sent those text messages. For the very longest time, I have been begging my mom to download WhatsApp on Read More
