“Busy” vs busy
It has been a busy couple of days. So much so that I totally forgot about writing yesterday – also because my “screen time” routine has been unsynced due to my usual locale for such work being out of Internet commission. 🙁 Being the creature of habit and liking things to be “perfect” that I…

Business Update
I realized that I have never really explained properly here what I have chosen to do with my life since quitting. I think I said I would update later and then never did as our lives have been on a bit of a roller coaster since I quit working full-time. Therefore, let me explain. Although…

_The Bamboo Stalk_ by Saud Al Sanousi
_The Bamboo Stalk_ by Saud Al Sanousi The October Book Club for AWN is this book. We meet next week to talk about it, but I thought I would go ahead and write about it here now that it is fresh in my mind. Unlike last month’s title, this one was so easy to…

Workout Goals
Ah, do not let the title mislead you. I am by no means setting ‘real’ workout goals. However, that does not mean that I do not think about challenges. Given that my car is in the shop and M needed the car for morning appointments, it was most convenient to have him drop me off…

Weekend Update
Well, my best intentions of late have been waylaid the past few days. Not without some positive moments as well. 🙂 Thus, let me share what has been happening. On Thursday, we were in Dubai all day. I had made plans to go meet a few people from yoga about future work and collaborations. While…

When It Rains It Pours
…or so the saying goes. This can be interpreted for the negative and the positive. At the moment, I’m having faith that there is a building up of the positive that is going to dump it all at once on us soon! Sometimes I think that the universe is testing me like Job to see…

Aversion to Change
Someone said to me the other day that I am very self-aware. I felt quite pleased with this assessment and generally consider this to be true about myself. There is nothing like a little reality check now and then to remind me that there is always room to improve! 😛 Change is the only constant…
