The other day, I spoke at length with my brother over the phone. It was nice. And he pointed out how I kept saying "obviously" and I do catch myself doing this sometimes. I think it's because of my low confidence? I think what I have to say is obvious, so I point out that… Continue reading When We Miss the Obvious

Call Your Mom (a poem)
Your mom’s first tears Throws the world upside down Time running in reverse A metamorphosis of status Who is this person? So human and vulnerable Do I offer a shoulder? A tissue? Advice? It doesn’t make sense. Mom’s don’t do this. Mom’s aren’t in need! Experiment: get the microscope See beneath the veil of thick… Continue reading Call Your Mom (a poem)
Defining a challenge = defining success
This year I’ve challenged myself in many ways. My focus for 2022 was to enjoy myself and trust myself again, but I did end up tagging on a little extra in that I wanted to challenge myself quarterly (at least). And I’ve done that well so far; in fact I’ve challenged myself quite a lot… Continue reading Defining a challenge = defining success
I choose to see it all
I choose to see myself as I am and could be, not through my fears and insecurities. I choose to see the best in others, and reserve judgement for I can’t know what hides behind closed doors.

The Power of Asking Why
This isn’t a new concept for me or for you. I’m sure I’ve spoken about this on my blog or podcast before, but perhaps not in this depth. Why is a great question, right? I means it’s annoying when kids go “why? Why? Why?” to everything you say, but it’s actually a brilliant way of… Continue reading The Power of Asking Why
What I Seek
I don't need beaches and scorching heat. I don't need endless cocktails served to me in the pool. Bikini pics with a backdrop of palm trees and endless oceans are nice, but maybe I should think twice before thinking it's for me. Instead, I want mountains and vast landscapes of untouched nature. I want hot… Continue reading What I Seek
