That Woman Is A Success…
I always find it fulfilling if I discovered something and be able to share it. Nothing more fulfilling than hearing your friends say… I tried it and it worked! Thank you! I have experienced tremendous blessings myself as I have learned to be a channel. You know, when you just open up your life and make it a channel where nothing stays… everything pours out… you’d know for sure that as you pour things out… sure enough you will be filled again and again. And sometimes, it just overflows. I understand for sure what God said in His word that “He loves a cheerful giver.” Giving doesn’t mean just finances or just with tangible things. It could be your talents, your skills, your ideas, knowledge and it could even be … Read entire article »

Essential Oils
I love burning essential oils for my house. When I am tired, I burn lavender essential oil. It really helps me relax. When kids are sick, I burn eucalyptus or peppermint essential oil. Helps lower down flu and colds symptoms. When hubby and I are in the mood, I use Ylang Ylang. It awakens the senses, indeed.

Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul
I saw this book at MPH and decided to buy for my recent trip to Phuket. I knew that I would have time to read as we went without kids. True enough, I had time to read it. Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman’s Soul by John and Stasi Eldredge. According to Stasi, most women think they have to settle for a life of efficiency and duty, chores and errands, striving to be but often feeling they have failed. Sadly, too many messages for Christian women add to the pressure. “Do these ten things, and you will be a godly woman.” The effect has not been good on the feminine soul. This book’s emphasis is on understanding the heart of a woman and her soul. The heart matters more than anything … Read entire article »
