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…

A Retreat for One
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…

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…

Almost there…
Moving has almost finished. However, now it’s all about cleaning and getting everything settled so that it really feels like home. So, I am almost there…. Today I’ve got the windows cleaned and the house will be thoroughly cleaned later. I’ll get some groceries and then hopefully have some time to decorate a bit. After…

Moving…
I’m still moving…. There’s a lot of little things that I have collected over the years and it takes time to get it all sorted. I’m hoping to get the bulk of it at least packed up today and then move the last bits of furniture tomorrow night. Wish me luck!!! 😀 -T

Connections…
Something amazing I learned this weekend is the power of connections. Those that we make between people, but also those we become aware of in our lives. For example, I was thinking this morning how while I am moving out and away from R, which feels like the end of something; it is actually the…

Empowered to Empower
Doing life coaching sessions with Karen really turned me on to the idea that it is something I could actually do as well. People have told me that I’m a good listener and that I often have wise/good advice to give when asked. So, when a friend of mine said he was taking coaching…

A little off…
It started last night as I was preparing for my interview coming up today. I won’t talk about that much here until afterwards. In any case, I was going up and down in my planning and thinking. Then, I went out last night and never got into the groove…. My experience with taxi drivers while…
