The best thing I can give you for Christmas is something genuine, something kind, something that is meant for you and you alone. The best thing I can give you for Christmas is not anything one can buy at a store but it’s something worth waiting for. The best thing I can give you for Christmas is not made by a designer but nothing could be finer than what I can give you. The best…
Soon we shall be celebrating Christmas once again. The meaning of Christmas is to recognize the birth of Jesus as the Saviour. Jesus, the Son of God, who brought Salvation through His Death and Resurrection, today is calling you to reconcile with your neighbor. It would be such a wonderful Christmas, if each one of us would really accept this invitation to make peace with our neighbor, to make reconciliation possible through Jesus. This for…
Are you a tortoise, a hare, or some other lovable creature in between? The answer really is irrelevant as long as you have the heart of a lion inside. Speed does not matter. All you need is the dedication to continue on your journey. That is what will ensure your success and happiness.
Happiness does not come from objects and gifts. It comes from making a choice to go to a place of warmth, love, and contentment. Don’t let yourself become lost in the trimmings and material items we often associate with the holiday season. Instead, be thankful and feel the joy in those you share your time with. Many face these days alone and would give anything to sit with a dear friend or family member for…
The world feels very uncertain these days for many of us, making it hard to know what or whom to believe. But there is always one person you need to trust, that one person you can always believe in to get you through any difficult moments. And that person is yourself. You have been given the lessons and experience needed to overcome, survive, and even thrive. Trust your heart and mind to guide you well…

There is never any good reason to be unkind to a friend. Even if that person has treated you poorly in the past, you need to forgive and forget. Do your best, be kind, be considerate, and offer the needed help. If that person chooses to take advantage of you or be overly demanding, it is not your fault. You have been a good friend, even if he or she could not reciprocate the goodwill.…
Christmas miracles come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes, what we think is an absolute disaster, turns out to be a holiday blessing if we just learn to see with our heart and not our human eyes. And this year, I am being completely honest when I tell you that I had a very, very hard time seeing a particular miracle. After all, how could the loss of my aunt, my second mom, and one…
Time can be so misleading. In our youth, we look at time as being almost infinite. It is the enemy in a way. We are even so naïve as to try to speed up its passage. We want to be older, more experienced, and more worldly. If only we understood the cost of those dreams. We might rethink that wish, even though it feels as if time is a massive boulder that we are pushing…
If you could give just one gift to the world, what would it be? Maybe courage, empathy, a kinder, gentler heart? Or perhaps understanding or a sense of gratitude. Now think about how you would deliver this gift. No one can reach the entire world all at one time. You would start small, with those closest to you, both geographically and emotionally. You would work each day to share the gift with more and more…
