    March is here already and I’ve spent the last couple of days focusing solely on the platform to get everything in line for the month. I’m not complaining, by any means, as I know that putting in the time now frees up my time later. Still, I find myself less enthusiastic about the platform as…

    Since this year is my year of writing on my novel, M had suggested that I go on an “intentional” writing retreat somewhere, but the cost of them and the forced interaction with others did not appeal to me as I want to write according to my methods and in my way – real surprise,…

    A consequence of the pandemic is a need for businesses to adjust their ways to gain the highest returns for recuperating their losses over the past few years.  There are changes that will likely never go away such as using QR codes rather than spending money on printed menus that will eventually have to be…

  • Contrary for Contrary’s Sake?!

    This is going to be a bit of a rant and admittedly a contrary one, but not just for the sake of it. 🤪 Most of the time, I loathe looking at social media for any holiday or “international/national day of ____” because it has become a space for people to schmooze and ooze over-the-top…

    When I was young, I used to follow the North 🇰🇵 and South Korea 🇰🇷unification news quite diligently. In fact, I would cut out newspaper clippings 📰 reporting on their relationship and the ongoing hope of the Korean people that they would become one nation again. One time, my dad asked me what interested me…

    My religious beliefs have waxed and waned over the years. Now, I feel as if I have a fairly balanced view and call myself spiritual rather than claiming to be a member of one religious sect. For some, this is a bit of a cop out because they don’t want to necessarily be associated with…

    It is trendy these days to talk about setting and keeping boundaries, which to many may seem either a luxury or an impossibility. There are some who may even consider it to be utter nonsense. Before we celebrated navel gazing and the sharing – or oversharing – of our feelings, people just got on with…

    This year is the year of writing for me. To achieve my writing goals, I must also take on the task of revisiting my past through memories, paperwork, and quite possibly interactions. It is always interesting to observe how the Universe works when one opens up to the possibility of whatever may come. Although I…

    One of my favorite quotes and sentiments I love from Michelle Obama is “When they go low, we go high”. During the still mystifying drama that occurred at the end of last year, I came across this quote on FB and saved it because it hit home in the moment and as part of my…

    If reading my blog posts hasn’t taught you anything else about me, I hope that it has been abundantly clear that I LOVE a plan 💜. Part of my planning process is – appreciating – what has worked and what has not. Over a two-year-period, I used a bullet journal 📖 style of organizing, tracking,…
