Finding out you have a tumor in your hip just hours before you get on a 14 hour flight for a 2 month long holiday, is not exactly part of anyone’s vacation planning. And it was not on mine either. But Life Happens. And then you have to deal with it. The question I get […]
Sometimes we allow certain things to just downward spiral. It just happens over time. And then comes a day where you have no choice but to take charge and take control to get yourself back up top! Have you ever tried climbing up a spiral…? Not as easy as sliding down, right ? But sometimes you should try getting back on top in a way different than what got you down there in the first instance. Do things a bit differently. This is what I will try this time….. Doing things a bit differently…and maybe, just maybe his will make it easier to get back up to where one once was. If you can relate…. Let’s do it together… Climb back up…not too late…this year is not over…. And this life even less so.
I have wanted to change many things, many times. Many D-days on which I decided – this is it…a new day, a new beginning…..for many reasons – I needed to, others wanted me to, the doctor said so, society sort of expects you to….. But I have discovered on my last undertaking to make changes […]
I met a lady the other day. In a tiny shop on a little island of Hong Kong. She has no website. I could not even get her name…..language barriers. But I got her name card….”.be”….and her number on the back. Just that. No Twitter, Facebook or the whole shebang. I loved her little shop. […]
I smell the incense in the room. It fills the air slowly but definitively. Untill it completely takes over the old smell that was here an hour before. A new sense of being in this room alight. Life over the last few years. Hurtful. Painful. Doubtful. Hoping that in less than few years – a […]
I love Sundays. Especially lazy ones…. where you can rest, recover and reflect. I have lots to do for today, but no intention of doing it. Instead I had a chit chat with my son after my husband left for the airport. Gone for 2 weeks. We will miss him and hopefully get lots done […]
Things sometimes happen in life that make you stop or at the very least, make you slow down….. During those times you think again about your health, your happiness and what life is really all about. I pass this artwork on the roof of a local gallery near my house, on a daily basis. It […]
(photo taken in FIKA book and coffee shop, Doota) I have many, many ideas….to my own dismay. So many that I make myself crazy trying to figure out ways how to carry out some of them. I have many, many opinions….to other people’s dismay. Sometimes saying things that I don’t express well enough to make […]
My friend Elena posted this today… and it just completed my day ! It is only 9.30 am but I can say that this day has already been a good one. Even if all else goes wrong today… it has been worth the while to be reminded again of these truths. I loved it […]
Today my kids have Wacky day at school. So, I sent some strange looking kids out of the house this morning. I have to admit….today I feel like putting on a crash helmit and disguising myself too ! It feels like a ton of bricks are gonna come down on me at some point…with all the […]
