Ring Talk Episode 5: The Comeback!

  This comeback story is not about coming back after a loss in the ring but more so after a victory post pandemic.  A victory that screams “I’m back” and ready to rumble!  This might be my version and sharing just one aspect of my life, but it’s for all of us.  We’ve all been…

Marriage: What’s the tea?

Family, food and gratitude!

Like many cultures where every celebration starts with food, mine is no different.  In fact, it’s not a celebration without it and there is always an abundance.  It’s like you’re expecting at least ten more guests!  And I’ll tell you, growing up there was always the possibility of an unexpected guest for a meal or…

Family trip, reconnecting and seeking closure.

Getting back from a long vacation to the motherland is always good.  When I moved to Canada I was always very conscious and adamant that I would never forget my roots and where I came from and, though I say it always and try to live it, it’s easy to get caught up in the…

Good news and great fights!

To say this week my family received wonderful news is quite an understatement.  My mom is cancer free.  I let that sit for a bit before I continued this entry. I’m a live in the present, look ahead, future forward, forget the past kinda girl.  You know, like boxing a “get hit move on” attitude…
