He Said, She Said

Real Estate Sector:

Scenario #2:

Sales Agent: “Welcome to your dream home. Look at the beautiful architecture, all the lines, curve appeal and a sturdy White picket fence. The all-American dream.”

Me: “How do you know about my dream home? Are you psychic? What if I am not all American?”

Moral lesson:

Having assumptions that everyone wants the same features for an ideal home is very taboo.

Scenario #3:

Anyone who has a keen interest in architecture and houses, we would share similar perspectives on the external and internal features. When it comes to house hunting with a Real Estate Agent, I would inquire about the unknown history of the house.

Me: “Are there recent deaths in the past few decades inside this house?”

Sales Agent: ” By California law, I am legally obligated to disclose deaths within the recent three years. I have to apologize, what you are asking is beyond that time frame. You may have to conduct your own research on the history of this house.”

Me: “I am a spiritual person, and I want to communicate with the dead on the dark side.”

Moral lesson:

If you believe in Feng Shui, it is ideal to know if lingering negative energy exists. After all, a house is not just merely a roof over your head.

I Dream of a World

I dream of a world, that one day I could walk freely without fear.

I dream of a world, that one day where I am accepted for who I am truly inside. I don’t need society to determine my life journey to happiness.

I dream of a world, that one day there is true human kindness without hatred but love that manifest itself.

I dream of a world, that one day, all humans could be set free of all worldly pain and suffering.

I dream of a world…could this be surreal or reality?

A Million Stars

Another lonely night, as I gazed upon the dark clear night…

I see you among a million stars.

Wishing you are here, embracing me with your warm body.

Whispering gently to my ears of how much you love me and staying by my side.

One body, mind, heart and soul…we shall be a million stars among the night sky.

Miles apart, but still, we share the same night sky.

The Trio of Sunflowers

Once upon a time, there were three sisters. These were a trio of yellow

sunflowers. They bicker amongst themselves on a daily basis about who gets more soil, water, oxygen, nutrients and sun. In the transition to full maturity, the trio had a battle of wits among themselves.

Sister #1: “You two are blocking the sunshine. Could you please move a bit further away to give me space. It is too crowded in this flowerpot. I need more room and exposure to the sun to become a beautiful sunflower.”

Sister #2: “Well, I should say that also, because I am stuck between you two.”

Sister #3: ” Hey, why can’t we get along? Mother Nature told us to be kind. Why don’t we all stretch and sway our bodies a bit toward the sun each day? Then we all will get enough sunshine to become beautiful for all the world to see.

Lesson: Instead of complaining and bickering, find solutions together.

A Loving Mother

A tender and loving mother that gave unconditional love to her children.

She was a superhero in disguise, with no superpowers to boast about.

She made sacrifices without complaints, just to give a better life to her children.

She never seeks acknowledgement but knew that her children were grateful in all her endeavors.

She left this earth too soon.

We will miss her smile, her gentle words of kindness, and her love for all the people whom she touched with her magical hands.

Rest her gentle soul, a soul that is now with God in Heaven.

Dedicated to everyone who have lost a mother and still misses her.
