My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • A consequence of the pandemic is a need for businesses to adjust their ways to gain the highest returns for recuperating their losses over the past few years.  There are changes that will likely never go away such as using QR codes rather than spending money on printed menus that will eventually have to be updated. However, this forces everyone to use their mobile devices as soon as they sit down at a…

  • This is going to be a bit of a rant and admittedly a contrary one, but not just for the sake of it. 🤪 Most of the time, I loathe looking at social media for any holiday or “international/national day of ____” because it has become a space for people to schmooze and ooze over-the-top sentiments for the sake of it. However, those who post and then explicitly say that they “don’t celebrate/subscribe”…

  • When I was young, I used to follow the North 🇰🇵 and South Korea 🇰🇷unification news quite diligently. In fact, I would cut out newspaper clippings 📰 reporting on their relationship and the ongoing hope of the Korean people that they would become one nation again. One time, my dad asked me what interested me so much about the unification and I remember feeling that it was a weird question. Despite being a…

  • Now that we are somewhat settled in our house, and public conversations are starting to return to logic with an acceptance that the “C” is not actually going to kill off the human race, we decided it was time to take a holiday. It was a shock to realize that I had not been on a plane since arriving in Europe 15 months ago. I never would have imagined that I could go…

  • My religious beliefs have waxed and waned over the years. Now, I feel as if I have a fairly balanced view and call myself spiritual rather than claiming to be a member of one religious sect. For some, this is a bit of a cop out because they don’t want to necessarily be associated with one seemingly ‘fanatical’ group over another. In my case, I honestly believe in the realm of spirits and…

  • It is trendy these days to talk about setting and keeping boundaries, which to many may seem either a luxury or an impossibility. There are some who may even consider it to be utter nonsense. Before we celebrated navel gazing and the sharing – or oversharing – of our feelings, people just got on with life; and if one came across someone who set strong/firm boundaries, that person was most likely considered to…

  • Along with my ‘reading’ books, I usually have an audiobook going for those times when reading is not easily done but I can listen away. The past few years, I had moved more towards podcasts, but for some reason I have returned to the books. So, I thought that I would share what I listened to this month – since I am sure that I won’t finish the current one before the month…

  • This weekend, I finished two books that have been ongoing for a while. That puts me at three books done in 2022 already! Woo! One came to me through the platform and I initially started it out of a sense of obligation to read the books that come through to us. I’m not one to pass up a book anyway! Although it took me a bit to get into, I found myself still…

  • This year is the year of writing for me. To achieve my writing goals, I must also take on the task of revisiting my past through memories, paperwork, and quite possibly interactions. It is always interesting to observe how the Universe works when one opens up to the possibility of whatever may come. Although I have not specifically asked for help with my biological family search, I have always left it to the…

  • One of my favorite quotes and sentiments I love from Michelle Obama is “When they go low, we go high”. During the still mystifying drama that occurred at the end of last year, I came across this quote on FB and saved it because it hit home in the moment and as part of my personal values that have carried me through life contributing to my own sense of success and peace of…
