Celebrating Thanksgiving UAE-Style
This year we were too busy to think about having a big Thanksgiving bash at home. So, when Time Out Abu Dhabi decided to issue 2-for-1 coupons for a nice buffet lunch, we decided to celebrate there with friends. We had gone before earlier in the month and loved it, so it was pretty exciting…

Bewildered….
A few days ago I posted this link about Internet porn addiction on Facebook. A colleague at work made a comment and I responded saying how my ex was/is an addict. This morning, a former colleague and FB friend whom I only ever talk to at a conference once a year, but used to be…

APD + Two Paid Jobs = Woot Woot!
Some great news to share! First, surprisingly within the amount of time we were told we would get feedback, I received an email that I had been offering the Apple Professional Developer position. There will be a contract to sign and then my name will go on a list for potential clients or I can…

Coaching: Session 10
Phew, last night was a toughy and I am not sure how much detail I will write as it focused a lot on love. There were two events yesterday that sort of opened my eyes wider to my relationship causing me to think more deeply about what I want and, more importantly, what I deserve.…

Alicia Keys in Dubai
Ages ago, B and I planned to go see Alicia Keys in Dubai. This is the only concert I had agreed to go to this year as I am often disappointed by the performance as well as the atmosphere. Since it was in Dubai, I thought I would give it a chance. Well, it was…

Paleo Cake = YUMMY!
This weekend was a friend’s birthday party in Al Ain. I wanted to do something nice other than just show up and crash at her house. So, I offered to bake a birthday cake as it has been a while since I have done some baking. Since she is also doing a Paleo way of…

Wha…What?! Up at 5:50AM on the Weekend?!
Yep, so like I said, once I do something a couple of times, my body figures out the habit expectation. This morning, I awoke at 5:48am and without hesitation I was out of bed and eager to get my writing on. That’s not to say I won’t be back in bed soon, but it is…

Habits Forming!
Yes, I am celebrating after three straight days of waking up early to write! The writing production itself is not quite happening yet, but I have successfully submitted a number of proposals for possible writing jobs in hopes of making some mulah in writing! I realize that I definitely need more practice. With the practice…

Blah….
My head got distracted doing online shopping even though I have no intention of buying anything. I had plans to do some work for school and then write, but I feel the TV drawing me in. I may just go get a cup of ice cream and call it a night. 😛

Coaching: Sessions 8 & 9
So I am a little behind in updating on the coaching sessions. I am continuing although I do sometimes go back and forth on whether or not I should due to costs. However, as I often say to people there is no price limit for mental health and stability. Plus, Karen is good at reminding…
