I moved to Texas in 2010 after earning my M.S. in Psychology. However, in 2011 I enrolled in a 2nd Masters program in Cybersecurity to change my career.

In late August 2012, a colleague suggested I get a blood test, and when I did the doctor said my blood count was a five.…

We crave for attention. We have become a narcissistic generation. We do crazy things and sometimes go overboard just so people will like…
We live in a competitive world. From schools, offices, businesses, even in our own homes sometimes we deal with competition. Constantly competing can be tiring.

So you’ve been stressed out…stressed out about your health, bills, kids, and/or career. The great thing is that you got on your knees and talked to God.

We hate people judging us without knowing us personally or without finding out what really happened. Yet we also fall into the sin of gossiping and measuring up other people according to our standards. We don’t want people to condemn us for our mistakes, but we too don’t hesitate in concluding what kind of person another is based on their mistakes or even worse, based on what we heard about them. It is sad that we have become one-sided. We oppose the Golden Rule. We struggle to resist the juicy details our friend or colleague is about to spill about someone else.…
