When this girl was in college/university, she double majored in Political Science and Psychology; her honours thesis was an amalgamation of both schools (political psychology) where she studied the impact of foreign policy on domestic opinion and elections. She keeps a pulse- as far as she can, anyway- on this world is racked with such [...]

Its been a crazy day and the people this girl has had to meet with today really tested her patience. Like REALLY. R.E.A.L.L.Y. tested her patience. Even The Boy who’s got infinitely more patience than she does, especially lately with her pregnant brain and moods, found himself so annoyed his ears began to heat up. [...]

The last few weeks have been a debilitating onslaught of things, to-dos and obligations that have almost crippled this girl and her soul. Waves of fatigue that sees her crawling to bed in the middle of the afternoon- sometimes she literally barely makes it to the bed. Her schedule tears her apart- morning here, afternoon [...]

A friend recovering from cancer led this girl to re-read this charge in 1 Peter 3:1-7 on wives and husbands:
1Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2when they [...]

Its been another tiring week- busy with clients and projects and little time for much personal rest. At least this girl managed some stolen time away with Brunei Princess and Warrior Princess (oh my goodness, she just realized there’s a lot of princess-ness happening) where they mixed work and some girl time out at a [...]

And so this girl woke this morning with a slight nervousness that she couldn’t place. It unseated her and much as her body craved more rest, her mind was racing far too much for her to really fall back to bed. She tried listening to her ipod (which sleeps next to her these days), she [...]

These last two months, and indeed, the next three months have been and will be busy. And over the last fortnight, in partiuclar, this girl has been clean wiped out from work and has been sleeping at ten and waking only past noon when the chance occurs. The other parts of her life has pretty [...]

Quiet time the other left this girl overwhelmed; it read:
An entry I read on a favorite blog caught my eye. It was the morning of his ninth wedding anniversary. Not having a lot of money, the writer ran out to get his wife, Heidi, their favorite French pastry—pain au chocolat. After sprinting several miles, he [...]

A friend recently posted something she read from a couple-couple book called His needs, Her needs; that aspires to help couples build an affair-proof marriage. According to the writer, one Dr. Haley, couples need to learn to understand each other’s needs. One review site writes:
“This book is simply amazing. The premise of the book is [...]

This girl does her best to start and end her day in prayer. Often, she finds herself repeating herself because invariably she falls asleep while praying (perils of doing pillow praying). She figures God will understand her through her gibberish-sounding prayer since God knows even before one asks (…For your Father knows what you need [...]

It was a particularly difficult day today for this girl. No, there’s no particular reason; she’s just feeling like the weight on her shoulders are a little more than she can bare. She did her best to not snap at anyone, to be productive and level headed. She battled a mini meltdown, managed incessant demands [...]

One supposes that this girl is at the age where her friends are mostly getting engaged, married or having kids. The engagements and weddings are mainly happy, frantic affairs; busy and anxious but rarely overly dramatic. Where kids are concerned, it has been nothing short of heart stopping, breath taking and dramatic; and she’s had [...]

There has been alot swirling about this last two weeks leaving This girl is odd states of flux. And today, she’s deciding to let go and let God. She was reminded of a little card she used to carry in her wallet when she was younger that reminded her how important- and difficult- it really [...]
a typical day

This girl’s typical work day is hard to pin down but usually it excompasses of loads of meetings, dealing with everyday office matters and trying to wrap this that and the other. This girl has learnt to try and not double book herself which has helped somewhat but its usually quite a bit of a mad [...]
