Stopping the Thoughts….
Is it possible? Although I am letting go of my anger (see yesterday’s post), I am still angry. Every now and then I recall words, phrases or attitudes and I am shocked at how I did not respond initially to them. How could I have not said something then? <sigh> Everything is always clearer upon…

Anger is good for you!
Most of the time I try my best to avoid being angry. It’s true that I can then have a tendency to explode because I hold in my emotions, including anger. All throughout my years with various therapists, they have tried to tell me that anger is good for me and it’s okay to let…

To be complete….
One of the things we do in coaching is to make sure we are complete with people. We encourage people to be complete with others. I had a session with Karen the other night because I want to try to stick to it at least once a month so that I do not fall out…

New Residents?
So…my plan all along had been to consider getting some kitties to keep me company once I had settled in. However, I was not in a particular rush and thought about first helping out a local volunteer organization, Feline Friends. Last week, they posted an urgent need for help fostering cats and so I responded.…

The Universal Asian
Blogs, blogs and more blogs! As if I don’t have enough to do with myself and all my free time. 😀 Well, when I was doing my life coaching with Karen, I decided to start a new blog. Originally, I wanted to focus on travel writing and sharing my experiences as a non-Asian Asian traveling…

I knew that I was going to need some serious down time for just me after the move and everything. So, I booked a two-night stay at Anantara’s Qasr Al Sarab out in the South-Western region of Abu Dhabi. As described, it is truly a desert resort. I loved it! On the first night I…

_The Goldfinch_ by Donna Tartt
_The Goldfinch_ by Donna Tartt The third brief I was given to do nearly was the end of me as well as my work freelancing. First, it took me over three weeks to complete. Although I had a week with the holiday included in that time frame, it just did not go as smoothly as…

_The Gods of Guilt (Lincoln Lawyer)_ by Michael Connelly
_The Gods of Guilt (Lincoln Lawyer)_ by Michael Connelly This is the second book in brief that I did for my freelance work. Remember that movie, “The Lincoln Lawyer” with Matthew McConaughey? Well, this is another story with the same character. To be honest, I was pretty appalled at the quality of this book, but it…

Almost…
So, it was a tentative plan to spend about a week or two completely away from R in order to reposition him in my heart and life. However, it’s VERY difficult to do this. I almost made it all day yesterday even though I was not overly happy about it. The only reason it did…

Home Sweet Home
It’s never easy moving and even harder when it’s after a ‘break up’. However, the sense of my own space and living in my own way again is very freeing and relaxing. This morning I finished putting away the last few things and now just have some decorating matters to sort out, but there’s no…
