Time Hijacked!
The last week has been completely consumed by a surprise invitation to continue the process to become a qualified Apple Professional Developer. So, back in February I went to a two-day training session for this, but at the time it was not exactly clear what we were training for. I cannot even recall how I…

Changing Habits is Hard to Do…
Man, I am so tired right now, but it is my own fault. I decided that I need to follow the advice of many a great writer by trying to have a regular time in the day to write. Since the mornings are generally my best times, I decided to get up at 5am every…

Second Real Visitor!
So, I’ve lived in the UAE for nearly 5 years now and have only had visitors in the first six months I moved here, who were my mom and aunt. Despite offering to pay for plane tickets to a few people, no one else has ever made the time or effort to come see me……

Coaching: Session 7
Last night was another session with Karen. We did agree to try to make the coaching continue by doing once a week rather than twice a week; thus making the cost half what it is now. I should be able to make this work if I continue to be responsible with my money. 😉 So,…

Coaching: Session 6
On Monday, I had my sixth session with Karen, which left me feeling really excited and inspired to focus my attention on a few matters. Our talk centered around my perceptions of debt.

Coaching: Session 5
After having some scheduling troubles over the weekend, I had my fifth session with Karen on Saturday. Usually, she doesn’t work on weekends, but to ensure that we stay on track she kindly made an exception given my little time mix-up on Friday. 😀 So, we focused mostly on money matters this session. Her motto…

Coaching: Sessions 3 & 4
A lot has happened in the past two sessions that it is a little hard to keep up, but I will try to get to the gist of them. Session 3: I was supposed to write 25 things that I am proud of about myself and I got to about 14 on my own. My…

Rebooting the Mind…
Well, if I had thought that I had somehow gotten rid of the bipolar tendencies, the last couple of weeks have reminded me that no medication or denial will remove the reality. 😐 So, I’ve been on a bit of a downward spiral, but think I am pulling myself back up before totally hitting bottom,…
