...in my bridge

I feel like I am currently in a "bridge". My life hanging at the moment. My life on hold.

I was supposed to continue on with my next 30 day challenge - and I still do,
I still TRY to eat less, I still TRY not to eat AFTER 6.
But, I haven't weighed myself yet..
so I will update my THE 90-DAY CHALLENGE on the 90th day! 
I will post my final weight results here on April 8!

I have a lot of things cooking up in my mind. But, due to what-have-you reasons, it all needs to wait.

God knows my plans and my dreams, and I am just holding on to HIM.

For the mean time, in my "bridge",
I am loving the opportunities that are coming my way.
I am loving my ambiance, the people I work with, friends I have online and offline;
everything and everyone, I appreciate and love!
I just feel blessed - and I hope you feel as blessed too!

But, I am still here in my "bridge", and I wait.

Golden Gate Bridge San Francisco, USA

Rainbow Bridge, Tokyo, Japan

Gateshead Millennium Bridge, Newcastle, UK

Millau Viaduct, Millau, France

China Bridge
St. John's Bridge in Portland, Oregon
Tower Bridge in London, England


We do find ourselves in our own "bridges" sometimes, but you see, 

for as long as we are open to graces, 
for as long as our heart's full of gratitude, hope and faith, 
and for as long as we are just happy to be where we are at the moment...

I think we will get "there" fast! :)


NAMASTE.

    Wow, those are a lot of bridges! Ok ok we get it, you're in limbo right now. :)) That's an exciting place to be. A bridge connects from a familiar place to the unknown. Revel in the anticipation and the thrill! :)

    I am yet in the middle of my bridge now but still unwilling to proceed. Maybe too scared to take a step and find out what's in store for me at the end...maybe, I shall but rest here for a while and maybe when I'll have the courage to go on...I will boldly run and embrace whatever it is that lies ahead.

    BRIDGES..., could really mean a lot of things for different people! A real good metaphor in knowing more about ourselves, putting meaning in our own experiences and simply embracing its beauty! Thanks Ritchell:)

    Whatever bridge you may pass, this challenge will turn you on to what your heart desires.
    With God's mighty grace, anything is possible, and by waiting, God is whispering you, "hey Gemma, I'll stand and sit with you, and "together," let's pass the bridge whenever you're ready."

    God bless you sister.

    these are beautiful beautiful pictures.

    Well, all of us will come across a bridge where we are oblige to make decisions. Whether to cross it, to run back or to just stay there and wait for the right time and for the inspiration to move on. Take your time, live each day like it's your last. Everything will fall into it's place in God's perfect time. Goodluck. :)

    Your "bridge of life" is not only in your own making, but it is a joined efforts of those who surround you. When in any case it will fall, somebody who is stronger will "bridge" it until it will back to normal. Whatever matters, rely everything to Him who is the builder of the best and strongest bridge of all time.

    Namaste! I believe in crossing the bridge when I get there. Sometimes, the bridge comes to me unexpectedly, I find one when I'm not expecting it. But I make sure to burn my bridges before crossing another one. I know I'm not making any sense, haha. Kino-continue ko lang ang bridges theme mo. :-)

    when I was younger, I used to make a wish every time I cross a bridge and holding on to a blue colored object. It was a superstition I got from a cousin. haha I love bridges!

I do what I do

Writing is my outlet! I have been doing this since Grade 4. When I’ve written what I have in mind, I would sleep really well and would move on.  So, it’s like a therapy to me! Lol! http://gemsdaily.blogspot.com I love writing, I love the process of unfolding, unraveling, cocooning, De-boning as I put the exact words in my piece.. Kind of like a puzzle... Almost there, but not quite... yet! I know I am involved in the process of becoming as I continue to write, as I continue to grow, yearn and learn. I am still challenging myself to be so much more, do so much more and make my dreams come true for myself and for my family.  I look forward to have us all achieve our grandest desires for ourselves and our loved ones.  My mission is to continuously inspire, encourage and motivate myself and hopefully – you! (if by chance you read this) to just get out of our shells and be, do and have more in life.  To BE MORE, D...

Learning Life's Lessons!

Image
I heard or read somewhere that life will continue to give us lessons until we learn it. Two weeks after graduating from college, I was already teaching college students.    I was so idealistic, perfectionist and wouldn’t tolerate students who were cheating, talking while I was teaching and not doing their work. Ye s , I was really strict! Many of my former students would attest to that! The thing was even if I knew I needed to change, I continued on doing what I was doing because I was afraid if I lost my control, if I became friendly and acted my age (I was just 20 then!, some of my students were even older than me!), I felt my students wouldn’t respect me and may took advantage of my kindness. So I continued on with my demeanor; I pushed my students to meet my expectations! I abhorred cheating, if they did so (I was good at finding out; because all our activities were computerized), the next day they would find their names written in bold caps posted in t...
