My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • Well, after a focused week of posting last week on goals for the year based on my NYRs, I suppose I should update on a few discussions we had last week. *It is looking more and more as if we will be leaving sooner than later from the desert. Our destination is still in negotiations depending on M’s prospects, but the Philippines has taken lead recently. We will continue to wait for more concrete…

  • With the exception of one day, I managed to keep up with my workout schedule. Since I took an early rest day, I shall make up for it on Saturday; therefore, I’ll post what I did next week or if I manage to get to the gym before this post comes out, then I’ll update it then. 😉 Here it is: Jan 8 (Sunday) 25′ 2.6km 28’42” yoga Sunday practice 23′ meditation  …

  • We have come to the last of the major areas of life that affect our happiness – personal. Although it could be said that most or all of my goals shared so far are personal, what I mean here are other areas such as entertainment, hobbies, achievements, etc. The things I want and plan to do in the next year solely for myself as an individual human, woman and person on this great earth.…

  • Some might find it strange to have goals about family, but the truth is that family is often who we take for granted the most. Yet, they play such a vital role in ensuring that we feel supported, loved, encouraged and safe every day. So, I believe it is important to also create goals around how to foster our family connections. Therefore, here are my goals for my family – some I mentioned…

  • These goals are getting a bit easier in topics now – at least for me. Phew! 😅 2016 presented a number of challenges regarding friendships and tested my introverted nature regarding relationships.  One of the best ways to weed out your friends is to have an expensive wedding 👰🏽😜. All kidding aside, many of our “friends” were proven not to be so by not bothering to show up even when they RSVPd or…

  • Okay, so this is a BIG one for me/us as 2016 was a massive financial struggle once I gave up work and the benefit of paid housing. Little did I know what a huge challenge it was going to be to work out housing on our limited income. Now, I am not saying that we/I were not total idiots to move into a crazily priced apartment, but it is a lovely place to…

  • My next focus for my NYRs is Work. Work is something that the majority of people do for most of their lives and sadly for a lot of people is also an activity that most do not like – yet they continue out of necessity or lack of options (known or unknown). Luckily for me, 2016 brought about the opportunity for me to quit my full-time work. I admit that while I did…

  • As promised, here I am with my NYRs for 2017. I am starting with Health because it tends to be the easiest resolution for us to make, break and focus upon. In general, we are fairly healthy. I keep active, exercise pretty regularly and we eat a decent Paleo-ish diet. Still, it is easy to yo-yo back and forth during down times, holidays or when I think I am doing great and then…

  • One of our NYRs is to lose our holiday weight by getting ourselves back to the gym. Later, I will write about my health/fitness NYR, but for this post I will focus on sharing my workouts this week. My aim is to do a regular weekly update on what I managed to do during the week to track progress for myself as well as share with whomever might care. 😉 For a while…

  • Starting on Sunday, I am going to write about the six major areas of life that affect our well-being, wholeness and happiness. These six areas are: Health Work Finances Relationships Family Personal For the next week, I will focus on sharing my goals/resolutions in these areas in the next year or even shorter-term depending on the goal itself. While most of my life I have avoided using the word resolutions because I feel it…
