Burn Out
Two years ago I was excitedly preparing to launch The Universal Asian 🙌🏽. Since then, there have been a few variations, twists and turns, ups and downs, but it has become something I am proud of – overall. Still, for two years it has taken up a large part of my mental space. Is it…

Puppies and More Puppies
Most of my days and nights have been consumed with falling in love with our newest additions to the household – Monty and Pea(nut). It’s only been a month since they joined our home, but they have stolen our hearts – and all of our attention! 😉 Here’s a link to the photos as it…

Worldly Possessions
In a discussion group yesterday, we talked about the things that we are attached to and what 10 things would we grab or want to save if we were running out of a fire. As an educator and trainer, this is an activity that we often ask our students as a learning exercise and also…

Some days I feel as if the struggle is more real than others. Some days there is no real struggle at all, in fact. However, when climbing up out of a depressive cycle, the struggles can feel like mountains. On the outside, I think I am fairly well put-together. Even from my partner, I try…

Bringing Light and Leaving the Dark
There are few things that trigger my negative psyche these days. Thanks to meditation, reading a lot of books for reflection, and general maturity in life through experiences, I always look inward before letting myself get absorbed by other’s actions or words. Introspection is a daily habit rather than a passing whim for me. So,…

Puppy Love, C19 and the Psyche
Two weeks ago, I had this moment of darkness where I could not see any light in my world and I closed my eyes not wanting to see it in others. It has been a while since such dark moments have passed over me, but when old traumas are triggered one can never really know…
