♥ What do I believe?


I believe today I am the strongest I have ever been. I believe that LIFE is best served when taken in its’ simplest form.The only thing that need to guide us is our FAITH. As always, I am constantly driving 100 miles per hour when the SPEEDOMETER of LIFE says 60. But I  have my Magnificat of PRAY, LOVE, SERVE to guide me everyday. I have made great efforts to sit back, relax, and try to enjoy this ride. WHY? LIFE is all we got. JUST ONE. I am learning to make the most out of the ONE I have been blessed with. I can’t tell you exactly where I am going, but I will say that sitting back and realizing all the times I never felt so lost and uncertain, I could always later say, “You see Ella, you made it, and you always do!” So I keep my belief in DESTINY and my good karma running and this assures my FAITH in the unknown.


♥ Finding Balance





As a Marriage & Family Therapist, I believe that you can't have everything and do everything at the same time. Therefore, we must look deeply within and we need to understand our perfect balance. None of us is built to run nonstop. That's why, when you don't give yourself the time and care you need, you will lose your equilibrium and break down. I know that we can't take a recess from life ~ it keeps going. But we can definitely  take recesses from feeling trapped anytime. If you take a moment, breathe, and look around and say, "Look what's happening to me!"  The incredible drama of life is happening and you are in it! The key to balance is using all of the factors listed above in the picture to connect yourself to the present moment. I always believe that moments of connections are free moments!
