New Shoes
It has been years since I wore proper trainers/sneakers to work out in. Ever since I discovered Vibram Five Fingers, I never really looked back. My love for these kind of shoes started with my love for what I call ‘toe-socks’ which are popular in Japan. I still wear them around the house or especially…

Stepping Up
Throughout our experience over the past month (yes details will come soon-ish), I have come to understand the human condition a little bit more. I must say that it is not a positive understanding…. We all have a fight or flight instinct about us in times of crisis. We also have different ways of responding…

Alone vs On Your Own
A friend of mine keeps posting regularly on FB and brings up in conversation a lot regarding her sense of being all on her own. She feels alone struggling through her current situation in life since she has no partner, few close friends nearby, no family around and her beloved pet not with her. As…

Kitty Update
The kitties continue to take me on the emotional roller coaster of loving and hating them. They are cutest and sweetest when asleep… 😸 They do provide me with excellent company when I am home all day. In fact, I have a migraine today but they are staying close by even though they usually sleep…

Art of Minimizing
There is a habit that I became acutely aware of back in my life coaching training days. It is our need to respond to others by either devaluing, minimizing or dismissing their experience. Seemingly benign, innocent or even empathetic statements can have this effect even when we think we are doing the opposite. For example,…

When the World Spirals
When my husband makes a point of telling me that I am constantly seeming grumpy or on edge and then have these bouts of “weirdness” where I am overly silly and happy, then I take a step back to consider the validity of his comments. Although never formally diagnosed as depressed or bipolar according to…

Happy…Unhappy…?
We had a decision, then we changed it, then we reconsidered, then a new option came up, now we are back to uncertainty. I am not sure my psyche can take it…. Without too much detail, I think I can sum up our options as follow: 1 – Spain 2 – Saudi 3- Stay Number…
