Reflecting on Life with Milo and Kuci. Happy Sunday, peeps! As Sunday rolls around, it's a perfect opportunity to slow down and reflect on the week. And what better way to start the day than with some feline love? This morning, I bathed my two beloved cats, Milo and Kuci (a cute ginger tabby cat!), and it was a calming and grounding experience. As I spend time with my furry friends, I also take the time to plan out my upcoming week. This includes setting aside time to study and work on my goals. I like to make sure I have a solid plan in place so that I can make the most of each day. And what's a Sunday without a good book? Currently, I'm engrossed in a page-turner that I can't wait to share with all of you in my next Bookish Saturday edition. Reading is a great way to unwind and reflect on the world around us. In the words of American author, Maya Angelou, 'In the quiet of Sunday morning, every soul is equal.' Take some time today to reflect, recharge, and jus...

It has been a wonderful experience to learn math formulas and new languages and to talk to the younger generation. The feeling of imparting knowledge and making a positive impact in the community is unexplainable, and it is an added bonus to generate a side income. As B.B. King once said, "The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you."  This quote by legendary blues musician B.B. King highlights the value and importance of education and learning. No matter what challenges we face in life, the knowledge and skills we gain through learning are things that nobody can take away from us. Learning is a lifelong process that enriches our lives and helps us make a difference in the world. As a home tutor, diving into academic books has become a regular part of my routine. The feeling of learning new math formulas, language, and sharing...
