These past four days have been quite busy for me. It was filled with bitter and sweet moments and memories. Last Friday I attended the memorial service of my dearly beloved Aunty Vicky. She was one of my favorite aunts. I practically grew up at her house during my early childhood. She and my mom go way back and have much history together. They have shared many of life’s precious moments together and have had their fair share of bitter and sweet memories. Through the challenges of life, my mom and Aunty Vicky swore to be blood sisters forever and that they were. Despite their differences, their love and commitment to each other and family span six decades.

Depression is a debilitating illness that afflicts about 5 % of the population or 350 million people worldwide. Although some degree of depression every now and then is normal, severe depression can be quite crippling and if untreated can lead an individual to committing suicide.
Who would have imagined that I would one day become a writer, author and blogger. It was about four years ago that my friends encouraged me to write. I didn’t take them seriously at first but decided to write for fun. As I wrote, I began to magically transform from a mild mannered introverted Clark Kent into something extraordinary. I never felt so alive in my life as I did when I wrote. Then one day I dared to imagine myself being a writer and author despite the odds against me. I just surrendered to the process and the rest is history.
