My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • 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 ended up at the session – maybe from being involved in training colleagues on how to use the…

  • 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 day to do my writing. At the moment, I am just writing in my journal and trying to…

  • 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… until last week! My friend from high school days was on his way to Afghanistan and so he…

  • I have been a little quiet here because I am working on setting up a new site for my travel writing. More deets to come…. -T 😀

  • 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, last night we worked on how to make writing my profession and what might be stopping me from…

  • Where is my voice? – I hear it buried deep within. Who is my voice? – She is a woman with strength and courage to be heard. How is my voice? – It is quiet but strong, if only the world would be still enough to hear it. Where is my voice? – It is beginning to return to the top. Who is my voice? – She is someone finding herself again. How…

  • 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. While I generally don’t stress about my debt because I just don’t really think about it, it does always linger in the back of my mind and causes me to feel a certain negative way. We looked at it as…

  • A while back, I wrote about a book by Jeff Goins about his journey into writing. One of the first things he says is that to be a writer, you have to start telling people and thinking that you are a writer. In my last session with Karen (more on that coming), I really focused on the fact that I truly want to be a writer. It’s something I have dreamed about doing…

  • 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 was “Be, Do, Have”. If you are what you want to be and act accordingly, then you will…

  • 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 focus was on things that I had done, but not really anything about who I am. In the…
