Security in Planning
If I have learned nothing else this summer, it is that I cannot really plan and most especially cannot control ANYthing. 😛 With that said, there are some things that I can plan and do. Tonight (early tomorrow), I leave for my Bali retreat as part of my yoga teacher training. I am being asked…

Reunited
After two months the fur balls are back! One reason I have never been a fan of boarding cats for long periods of time is that one never really knows what goes on in the boarding spaces. It was not an easy decision to put the cats into boarding at all let alone for so…

FLOTUS into Politics
For most of my adult life I have steered clear of politics. I have brief moments in and out where I try to care, but for the most part I find that I get frustrated or depressed from the state of the world and generally am cynical about politicians and the world of politics. Furthermore,…

On Cruise Control…
My car has cruise control and I use it a lot to avoid getting speeding tickets in the city or on the long endless road from Abu Dhabi to Dubai. Even though I use the cruise control, I still try to stay alert to the cars around me as well as where the cameras are or…
