My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • Just two days ago I wrote about my upcoming article on Aprilmag.com. Well, it was published without my realizing it and is now up on the magazine page! It feels good to be writing regularly again and I feel as if each time I am upping my game a bit. It gives me confidence again about writing and looking for other ways to generate income doing it. THIS is my dream, after all….…

  • It has been a while since I’ve talked about my ‘kids’. They are just now three years old! It is hard to believe. They are still babies and Pippi is young at heart to be sure. 😛 It is hard to capture video of them when they are being crazy and wild. Besides, it’s so much cuter to capture sleeping kitties. 😉 Thankfully, they have recovered their sisterly love and attachment after their…

  • I was working on my next article for April Magazine and was sharing stories with a lady I met at book club a few weeks back. She said how curious a thing it is that people want everyone to fit into “neat little boxes”. I like this description and also wonder at it. Before I discuss others’ need for this, I first reflect upon myself. Am I the same? Do I make my own limiting…

  • For the first time in years I am not actually celebrating Thanksgiving with my friends-family. We had initially planned to have a big bash, but with limited furniture and funds we decided to postpone a large party. It is sad, really. Then again, it has definitely been a year of reflecting, shifting and starting anew. Thus, it is not that surprising that a change in my usual activities has occurred. My hope is…

  • Yep, I actually Googled the definition of masochism this morning. Why? Because, I wonder if my subconscious is really masochistic…. 😐 I feel as if the darkness is winning these days. It is the season of being thankful, thinking about presents and the coming family-time, looking forward to the new year on the horizon with all that it promises. To do this, I have to reflect over the year…. Things I am Thankful…

  • So yesterday I wrote about my lack of certainty mostly regarding what I am doing with my life. As I spent most of the day on my own and processing my thoughts – fighting with the dark and light in my head – I came to some new realizations. Let me share a few. *I am not accustomed to things being difficult in life or my career. For the first time, I have…

  • Sometimes when I take the time to share what is going on in my life or when I stop to think about it, I can see why people say to me, “I do not know how you do it.” Most of the time I never think about the how or even the why. I just do it. Overall, life is good – really. However, as I finished up my last yoga teacher training…

  • As I said yesterday, the weather has started to become amazing again. Now, we have about five months of perfect temperatures. Our running group went a different direction around the Corniche this week toward the National Theatre. We got a couple of nice pics from that.

  • This morning I felt a cool breeze as we were waiting for our morning walk/run. It was such a nice feeling and a relief given the seemingly lingering heat this year – although I’m sure that is not the case. 🙂 One of the events that we do every year as a bit of a kick-off of the cooling weather is Taste of Abu Dhabi. We always have a good time with friends…

  • Well, last week I was rather tired. While I do believe it was due to recovering from travel and yoga as I wrote about, I also think there was a lot going on. All that goings-on contributed to catching whatever bug M brought home from work. So, most of the weekend was spent feeling sick and tired with sneezing bouts, stuffed up noses, scratchy throats and coughs. After a bit of sleep, I…
