| Doha Qatar , circa 2012 |
It's been 3 years since I got back from (almost a decade) stint in the Middle East , the transition from being an expat returning to our homeland wasn't a breeze...for a while there I got fixated with the idea of going back again, just to tie some loose ends , to answer so many what ifs ? or just to simply settle some unfinished business. But for some reason there were factors holding me back, until such time that I finally found my way and felt home again.

With a grateful heart I am so blessed with good people around me...Members of the family willing to back me up supporting every move I make. Friends from way back cheering me up and making sure that I am okay and moved on. New found business partners in my industry that promises exciting and meaningful collaborations to help more people ...most of all having been blessed with 2 great kids (River and Hailey) that always put a smile in my lips...

and a life partner that never gets tired of lifting me back up and making me feel that I AM LOVED...

So I guess if I need to compare my life back..I can honestly say that
Life is what we make it... We either look into a glass half filled with water and say
"uh-oh it's Half empty "... but for me I'd rather see it as
"yey!!!it's Half Full " because with all the life's setbacks and handful of lil' victories I've faced this year...I am not complaining ..I would rather be grateful ...and looking back now..almost 3 years ago..I was an just an OFW mom dreaming of coming back to my own country, wishing to spend christmas with my kids and hoping to make up for the lost time with my family and friends..but I Can Not :(

That's why my heart is full of good vibes ...Cheers for a life of second chances ...for giving me a choice to change things that broke me....for making me experience all the joys after going through so much trials...
Thank you God...I will not waste this chance and will definitely pay it forward.
I will make sure that in my own humble way I can help another mom or dad...to find their way back home and finally STAY #LIFEwithaPURPOSE :)
