New Resolutions
It’s time to put my reflections and revisions into a concrete public form. This will maybe keep me accountable! Ha. As I don’t like to call my new resolutions as New Year’s resolutions, I am calling them long and short term goals for this upcoming year. I know, it’s the same thing in the end,…

Dreams Coming True
Back during my life coaching sessions, I talked about how writing has been a dream for me since I was eight. I knew back then that power of words and wanted so much to share my stories with the world. I am not an eloquent speaker. I am not overly charismatic. However, I think I…

Happy New Year 2014!
[shashin type=”photo” id=”8095″ size=”medium” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”] Another year has come with so many possibilities ahead. I spent New Year’s Eve with some friends, which was both nice and strange at the same time. R was not there and yet we were on better terms than we have been the past week. Still, it was…

Arising Out of the Ashes…
…or something like that! 😀 Each day gets a little bit better. This morning I woke up with a less heavy heart and a return of light in my spirit. I have come to realize just how great my friends really are and at how much I have changed in letting friends become so much…

Fear of Being Alone
When I was doing my life coach sessions, Karen would often remind me that everyone’s greatest fear is of being alone. This made sense to me. However, I think I have a greater fear than that – being abandoned. Since I was a year old, I have been repeatedly abandoned. By the time I was…

Heartache
There’s a heaviness in my heart that threatens now and then to turn into a darkness. So far, I have been keeping it away and focusing my mind on the things I should be happy about. This is no easy feat. Now that Christmas has passed, I can start reflecting and preparing for the upcoming…

Merry Christmas Part 2
After receiving such lovely gifts and going out the other night, yesterday was a complete 180 away from that. It’s strange how small triggers in our minds can set off huge storms in our interactions with others. The voices that we let override logic control so much of our behavior and reactions. It is a…
