I’m sharing with you today information about a great cause that’s making a difference in the life of many — Miggy’s Gift — a non-profit organization that is working on fulfilling Stephen Miggy” Chavez’s last wish:  to help pediatric cancer patients and their families. In a short timespan, this charity has taken off in a big way, but it needs much support to…

Thankful Thursdays

For the promise of eternal life. Every time we lose a loved one, with them goes a piece of our heart and a chunk of our joy. No way around that. Fortunately, with faith, and belief in His promise of eternal life, the heart is mended and joy returns. I know that’s how it’s been for…

For things that break down. Huh? Sounds odd, I know. See, lately, we’ve had a bunch of things conk out on us — TV, washer, A/C, car battery — all around the same time. Ugh, que pujo!  Such a pain in the butt to deal with. But, you know, a few (venting) curse words later, some…

For the things I cannot control. Life is unpredictable, ever-changing, and filled with countless attitudes. For a control freak like me, this can be unnerving. But attached to the indefinite come many things that can impact and transform our lives for the better. And realizing that I’m not at the wheel every minute of my life, teaches me…

That whatever God has in store for us, He will equip us for. That’s been the case for me, time and again. In my craziest of times, in my darkest hours, and in my hair-pulling moments, there He is. In the midst of it all, just like that, out of the blue – a way…

Thankful Thursdays

For spiritual food. Instituted long ago by a great man, while having supper with his friends (and traitor), the Eucharist is our most intimate union with Christ. Today, Holy Thursday, we remember this and the reason He left this mark. Powered by the graces of Holy Communion, we are one. And so for those consecrated…

Life is short, and abundant in fleeting moments. Enjoy your collection of seconds. Love much, hug often, as often as you can. Especially your kids. And remember and cherish the many little moments. And for that, thankfully, there are snapshots.                                         These kids, can’t take ‘em anywhere.   [I dedicate this post to the six…

For sweater-only weather. No coats, gloves, or hats, just sweaters…and sandals. I see the images from the northeast the last couple of weeks and I cringe. They make me feel grateful tenfold that I live in South Florida. It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of low temps, and Miami gives me the kind…

For good parenting. I dedicate today’s post to parents who try like heck to support, guide, and love their kids. I had terrific parents. I owe them a hell of a lot. I didn’t always agree with or appreciate their advice and guidance, but I learned (albeit at snail pace) that their hearts were in…

For family. I know this is something I’ve posted about before on Thankful Thursdays, but from time to time, it merits repeating. Because next to God’s love, I can’t think of anything more precious than family. We’re all so busy most of the time, with schedules that coincide on occasion, especially once our kids are…
