During an afternoon chat at the office, I laughed with several co-workers about the perceived value of money we held as children. Triggered by discussion of old action figures, one of them mentioned “I remember $7 seemed like so much to me as a child. I’d think ‘how am I ever going to get that […]
With 5% of my laptop battery left, I’m running against the clock for this blog. Laziness (for a charger) tends to promote expediency. I’ve been thinking a lot about the topic of compassion. It seems like there’s a large shortage of it in the world, lately. I have heard many definitions of compassion, over the […]
I brought to my attention that my writing has diminished in the past few weeks. While it is one of my favorite pastimes, it can be refreshing to take a break and revisit many of the words I’ve wanted to mark down. The world is changing at a rapid pace. Sometimes it feels akin to […]
The past few weeks have carried a few milestones in my life, worth noting. 7/5/16 marked the 1-year anniversary of my relocation to SF. Looking back at both of the times, they feel as if they were simply moments from the present. Life is so fleeting and short. Yet, it is sweet and savory. The best […]
I’ve found that as I grow older, the constant change I find is in the perspectives I gain from the passing years. New people, places, challenges, heartaches, and personal reflections grow like a tree branch. San Francisco is a challenging city to live in. It’s one of the most expensive cities in the world.

Since it’s been just over one year since my move to SF, I thought it would be nice to jot down some thoughts and personal reflections I’ve had since moving to California for the second (and seemingly final) time. This year has been a wonderful year of transformation, love, personal reflection, and renewal. Prior to […]
“Its for us, Yegie!” I exclaimed, while looking at a beautiful sunset cradle the clouds of another beautiful Oakland sky. We had ventured through the streets of downtown Oakland, taking a walk between shopping at the neighborhood stores, on a day that seemed to pronounce its’ own beauty through the skies, sights, and flavors of […]
The story of Superman spins the tale of a young baby that falls to earth, is adopted by a loving family, and rises up to become the superhero of the world. He becomes a legend to those he saves, especially Lois Lane – the love of his life. As a child, I looked up to […]
During an audition for a play, two men were competing for the main role. It was decided the role would be given to the man who could best recite Psalm 23. One man was an accomplished actor, taking the role to add to his growing list of leading roles in other productions. The other was […]
“A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.” As the spring solstice passes by, I can’t think of a better time to jot down a few thoughts that have been on my mind. The changing of the skies/tides is a reminder […]
