Blogging my way through life
Hi!
I’m Monica
Welcome to my personal blog!
I’m a born-again Christian and a woman of faith from Buffalo, NY. I’ve earned Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Studies from Buffalo State University. My goal is to is to share my thoughts, insights, reflections, perspectives, opinions, and personal experiences with the world through writing.
In my spare time I like to color, read, watch movies, and see what’s happening in social media. For exercise, I like to walk and bike ride. I’ve dabbled in different creative outlets such as rock painting and painting on canvas. I like to try new things like viral social media recipes.
The posts in this blog are unique in it that may take a few paragraphs or just a few words or sentences to get my thoughts across. I especially love when God shows up and my personal experiences and insights reflect the teachings of the Bible.
Enjoy your visit and come back soon!
