2018 has been kind and nothing short of amazing. Looking back at the year I am thankful for the lessons and the breakthroughs achieved thus far. Only thing is .... over the past couple of weeks I have fallen back into the old pattern of "winging it". In the younger days, the idea of just … Continue reading The Lesson Resides In The Process
Coming Home
Seated in a partially filled train carriage faced with a 30 minutes ride? My thoughts swung back to the inner dialogue I have held for the past week or so .... Time with all her mystery. In another 21 days, the year folds to a close. To say the year flew by doesn't come off … Continue reading Coming Home

Same But Different
Settings seemingly all set on replay. The scene somewhat similar and yet different. Close to twenty years ago, family outings were a weekly affair.

Black or white

Lately been consciously working on catching myself in the act. Tough sometimes but keeping an eye on using extreme words that create an all-or-none dichotomy. Working on re-evaluating the situation constantly … Continue reading Black or white
Just Be
You have to meet people where they are and the very first person you need to meet is yourself. Do not focus on letting go but letting it be. Eat alone, take yourself on dates and sleep alone. Figure out who you are, who you want to be. What inspires you and be who you … Continue reading Just Be
