My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • If you’ve been reading this blog or following me for a while, then you probably already know my love of schedules. No, more than a love, they are a necessity in my life. Strangely enough, most of the people around me are the absolute opposite including my husband, who has an almost allergic aversion to creating habits for keeps. 😛 Anyway, now that we are three weeks and counting in our new lifestyle…

  • Gosh, it has been ages since I’ve had a moment to stop and go deep into the vortex known as my grey matter. Not that I have anything overly profound to say, but I do feel a bit as if I have been in another universe and suddenly landed myself in an unknown time called – now. Since I was young, I have known that I think differently and view the world differently…

  • We are already 20 days in to being in France! How did the time go so quickly? Can it really already have been 20 days? 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ My husband says that I have been walking around with a permanent smile on my face since we arrived – or at least once the travel fog lifted. 😁 It’s probably true. I am SOOOOOOO happy we are here. 👏🏽 Our little Stone Cottage rental is perfect…

  • We are in single digit days left in Tokyo for this chapter. Who would have thought that I’d be living in and out of Japan four times since 1997? Who would have thought that I’d find the place that I swore I’d never return to after my first visit more like home than either my birth or adopted countries? This time was definitely the best time I had and I am not leaving…

  • As if a switch was turned the summer temperatures dropped 🌤 , humidity drifted away 🌬 , and leaves began to fall off the trees 🍃. Welcome to autumn. Not to be outdone by the natural changes, we have our own seasonal movement happening. In 13 days, we will be on a plane to France 🛫🇫🇷. Assuming no major obstacles (knock on wood 🤞🏽) keep us from getting on the flight with the…

  • It is becoming popular to say “2020” sucks because of COVID-19. It is becoming acceptable to complain and then blame it on the year that so many claim has not happened nor looks like it will before 2021 arrives. I am curious to know if there is a common introverted vs extroverted response to the evolution of this year, or if optimists react differently than pessimists. As a realist, here is my take.…

  • In 2016, I decided to quit my job because I was at a breaking point and I was under the naive impression that being newly married meant that my husband would take care of me. Without going into too much detail, that delusion was more of a nightmare of grandeur. Thankfully, my stubborn character did not despair at the reality that in my new partnership I need to be the one who is…

  • Generally, I limit my social media interactions. For the longest time, I thought it was just because I do not care so much about what is going on in other people’s lives that I need to be updated regularly. However, just as its use has evolved, so has my reasoning for why I’m bothered by about 90% of what is out there these days. Some time back someone recommended an author to me…

  • An entire month has passed as my attention has been divided and my words have drifted in the blank spaces of my mind. Where has my attention been? Well… I’ve just released the third issue of The Universal Asian. It’s growing in readership and content, which gives me a sense of satisfaction and conviction that we are building a community and space that I have been envisioning.

  • One of the tenants of the life coaching principles that I learned was that we have to hold people as whole and capable. Based on the belief that all individuals are whole, capable individuals, coaching assumes the client is expert, able to determine what is best for their lives and the coach works along with them to maximize their personal and professional potentials, to close the gaps to create extraordinary lives. ~What is…
