Self-Care
When money is tight it is difficult to justify getting pampering done or splurging on a cup of coffee at a cafe – two of my favorite things to do, by the way. These were activities I took a bit for granted as part of my regular routine of life when I was working full-time…

Breathe!
Sometimes a bit of a break away from the to-do list and self-imposed pressures to write or meet deadlines is needed. This weekend ended up being that, though not planned as such. It was a nice weekend and for the first time felt somewhat ‘normal’. We hung out with friends. I ‘worked’ with a few…

TGIT!
For the most part the days of the week have quickly become a blur. I generally am not eager for the weekend any more than any other day except it’s the days my hubby is home. Being a self-employed business owner means that days off are whenever I want to take them. 😛 Yet, somehow…

Structures
So my post the other day on working vs not working also brought up some ponderings on my regular visits on the topic of schedules, discipline and structures.

Not working vs working

Housewife Networking Part 3
Phew, it is the end of the week at last and what a busy week it has been! I have become quite the social butterfly. Who knew I had it in me? However, I must say that I feel extremely drained energetically and am on the verge of delirium as I am also not sleeping…

Sugar Detox Fail
Yep, that’s right. I barely made it a week of my attempt at the 21-day sugar detox. 🙁 It was not due to cravings or massive desire for sugar, but rather a busy schedule that resulted in eating out more and not having time to shop for food that would distract me from sugary items. …

My History is Worse Than Yours….
Interestingly, I wrote the title of this post last week after a conversation with my friend that I mentioned in my post about perspectives being relative. Yesterday, I went to a book club (yep! and more on that later), where we were discussing the atrocities experienced by the tribes of Congo by the Europeans –…

Meditating
After a barely successful attempt at staying sane last week, I decided that I needed to refocus on ensuring that I get myself sitting each day to meditate. The truth is that I have been out of practice and a little bit lax on the meditating scene lately. While I do try to keep my…
