Thankful and Blessed

As I sit here and reflect on the things that I'm thankful for this year, two major things come to mind: Health and family. 

This year was a test for trials for me and I am surer of myself that I have grown as a person for them.  It all started with my own health situations that happened to me earlier this year.  I had to learn to take charge of my diet and exercise which has been a long process and I'm still working on it.  

My mom went through a major brain surgery procedure and came out of it.  Seeing my mom prepare for the surgery was both frightening and empowering.  Her faith carried her through the whole thing and I see my mom differently.  She's a living superhero! 

All of these situations brought me closer to my family.  Having my mom gone through something so major, made all of us realize how important family truly is.  Even though my siblings and I are grown and we all have our separate lives with our own responsibilities, it is proof that whatever happens, we stick together and we help each other get through it. 

 And for that, I am very grateful for the parents I have who love and encourage me in the things that I do.  For the kind of life I have. And for the dreams and goals, I want to see accomplished in my lifetime. I am truly blessed and very fortunate. 

 I hope this holiday season finds you well and inspires you to do and be more than you ever dreamed possible. 

 Thanks for reading, 
Mayra :)

Seeing the light

I'm sure you've heard of stories about other people having near death experiences they encounter when they find themselves in very dangerous situations.  I was watching a program as part of the Super Soul Sunday series of comedian Tracy Morgan talk about the accident that almost took his life about a year and half ago which happened on his drive home after doing a comedy show.  He talks about seeing his deceased father coming to him and telling him that he wasn't ready for him yet.  It made me think of my near death experience I had in high school.

Unanswered Prayers: Explained

When I was younger and naive, I used to pray a lot for the things I wanted and needed in my life.  A few years ago, I met a guy from an online dating site who I was certain he was the one for me. Over the years, I never truly understood why God didn't answer my prayers -- until now. It was very apparent to me that as this guy and I both grew up and live completely different lives; I noticed an overarching theme in his life where in the end, he has no inner peace in his life.  The drama in his life is still there as it was when I first met him many years ago but appear to be present in different ways.
