In this article, I want to address “Haiti’s pact with the devil” and a response to the insensitive remarks by Pat Robertson.
A lot has been said about Haiti and this is only the beginning. My other blog posts can wait. Haiti has captured my heart. More than 100,000 are presumably dead. The earthquake has been [...]

Five Days After Being Unplugged from Technology + a New Resolution

Be Ready to Step Into a New Decade

Ever since High School, December has been an introspective month where I usually spend most of my time reflecting on the past 11 months. I look at my work, family, relationships, community, faith, decisions/choices made, etc. Yet most of my time investment goes into taking a sincere look at myself. I revisit personal goals to [...]
