I treasured my godmother

By Serena Tsan

Summer of 2003, I was nine-years-old. It was supposed to be another fun filled childhood memory, and it almost was, almost. When summer ended, that’s when everything changed, and life wouldn’t be the same again.

After I turned three, I always spent weeks of summer vacation in the town of Gilroy with my godparents and god brother. Nights were filled with my godmother’s cooking, board games, watching rented movies, and eating popcorn. Weekends were immersed with BBQ, karaoke, rafting, biking, stuffing bugs into a little jar, and chasing after little slimy green frogs. It was always fun.

Leaving was always hard, but I knew I would be visiting my godparents again during winter break. I would hug my cousin and my godfather, and my godmother would hug and kiss me on the cheek... Read More

Found? Home Sweet Home on Craigslist

By Rachel Smith

Living in Midtown is fantastic. Just ask anyone who lives here. You are mere steps from shopping, restaurants, and most importantly, drinking establishments. But finding the right place can be grueling and frustrating. Just ask anyone who lives here.

A lot of people, including myself, look to Craigslist for available properties, but in the last few weeks I have accrued a severe disdain for this site... Read More

Online Dating Chronicles: Swoon!

When was the last time you swooned? For me it was last night, but I really was swooning last week. The fact that the possibility of a future with me was even mentioned makes me unbearably happy. I know. I shouldn’t read into it. Then Friday night I had a quasi-Bridget Jones moment. My initial reaction to both of these moments one of sheer joy... Read More

Online Dating Chronicles: Fear is the mind killer

Quote from Dune. Read the book.

Unless you are some self-actualized monk, everyone has streaks of jealousy. I try to keep mine under control. Sure, I get pissed off, but mostly at myself. It’s just fear. My ego goes nuts and starts firing up my imagination. “Why hasn’t he texted me? Should I text him? Why am I getting less attention?

Systems for Living Now and Changing the Future

 

Are there shadows of doubt that have stopped you from living the life you were meant to live?

I can totally relate!

Maybe you have believed the lies and limited thinking of others. Maybe you have achieved success, but you are still just shy of your big goals, dreams, and true heart’s desire.

Today I want to share with you a few things, my “SYSTEM”, if you will, for living now and re-writing the future! I haven’t re-written all of my “past”, but I am well on my way to creating the future I dream of and desire, stepping into the vision God has for me!... Read More
