Mindset Turmoil
Aside from the unique stress caused by our current life situation, I also have inner turmoil (a bit dramatic of a word?) regarding my change in lifestyle. Yesterday I wrote about my recent dabblings into the world of networking and the dreaded ‘housewife’ world. These are just a glimpse of the many ways in which my…

Housewife Networking
Networking is one of my most dreaded activities. Having to participate in and encourage small talk causes sweat to form on my brow. However, I need clients and I need social interaction or else my husband will despise coming home to two whiny cats and a desperate housewife. 😛 For the past couple of weeks…

Drafting: Yoga Fitness vs Yoga Therapy
I am mulling around an idea for a post on my business blog and thought I would draft it here to see how it reads. Plus, I can add my editorial comments here before making it more neutrally professional. 😛 Obviously, with the launch of my business website – The OSH Network – I am…

Never-ending perm
Over the years I have tried different hair styles, always looking for the one that made me less “Asian” looking and avoiding the ones that were particularly stereotypical.

Money Turns Green or Mean
Some topics are generally shied away from – politics, religion, sex, and money. Mostly I touch on these subjects freely, but lightly, even though I do not really know the breadth of my audience since this space is primarily for my own entertainment. Still, with the Internet the way it is and knowing that my…

Just Call Me “Ms Bradshaw”
A couple of months ago a friend told me that I should be writing now that I have the time. I was a bit hesitant making some excuses about this and that. However, in the end I realized she was right. I also began to look for some freelance work on Upwork where I had…

Solitude In Unity
As part of my yoga teacher training it has been extremely important to build my own practice at home to ensure that I do poses and breathing as I learn in training. However, sometimes I lack motivation on my own or I find it challenging to set aside enough time each day to practice at home.…

Simple Things in Life
As I walked each morning my route from the guesthouse to the yoga villa in Bali, I would pass the same people and greet them with a smile and “Good morning.” In a very short time it became a familiar routine that I greatly looked forward to. I would pass a small family temple and…
