My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • I have liked Malcolm Gladwell since his early books, but not when he was writing columns. He’s a fascinating writer and in this Ted talk, he’s a fascinating speaker. In fact, he may have become one of my heroes. 🙂 He’s left-handed. He’s super smart. He’s a bit weird. He’s a writer. What’s not to like???!! 😉 This is the title of his new book and I’m looking forward to reading it –…

  • So far the Paleo diet has not been too difficult for me. I have generally gotten over my craving for coffee, which is amazing considering that I basically went cold turkey. 🙂 Although I love to eat out, it is quite difficult to stick to the diet so I have been cooking and cutting a lot of vegetables lately. 😀 Here’s some pics of my latest meals: [shashin type=”photo” id=”7854,7859,7856,7857″ size=”medium” columns=”2″ order=”user”…

  • Last night I had my first session with the life coach – Karen. We started with my first memory, which I have always described as:  I am in a crib and looking up trying to say something, but am not understood. Through the session, I came to realize that this seemingly simple way of describing the memory has been creating a negative neural pathway in my brain that has been telling me: I am…

  •   _World Without End_ by Ken Follett This is the second novel following _Pillars of the Earth_, which I read earlier in the summer. The story continues a few generations later in the same area of England where life has not necessarily changed much in terms of people’s struggles to survive and overcome the power struggle of the rich or higher statused. Even though I was reading this after work had started, I…

  • Three hours of quality sleep is definitely not enough for me. It has thrown my whole day off and now it’s time for bed again! 🙂

  • I know…it’s like a monthly thing for me lately to change my hairstyle…. So I get bored easily, what can I say? 😀 Although I enjoyed having the perm, I basically got tired of doing it every day and putting in mousse then walking around hair that looked crunchy – or at least to me. It was probably just fine and nice, but somehow I was not content. Of course, it was definitely…

  • Ooops meant to write this last night…oh well, better late than never, right? 🙂 As I wrote over a week ago, I have been thinking about therapy again. For some reason, I couldn’t quite decide what was best of my options and so I kind of mulled longer than I had planned. However, I decided to go ahead and contact the woman, Karen, in LA to see what her schtick was all about.…

  • Yep, I’m counting the weeks as if it will make the time go faster. I am not fully sure why since the term has actually a pretty easy one with nice students in both sets of classes and sharing classes means I don’t have to prep as much. Still, the routine of getting up every day and going to work is tiring me out. I feel somewhat stressed from getting vented at by…

  • This is my current mantra…I feel so tired and just want to sleep…. Tomorrow is the end of the week, at last! Right after work I am heading to a massage and I canNOT wait! 😀

  • I have been having some stomach problems for a while now and initially, it was due to the H Pylori bacteria. I tested highly positive back before summer began and did a round of treatments. When I went back just before the summer, the test came back negative, which shocked me. I did not really worry about it until I got back from summer break. My stomach was acting up and the same…
