My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • It is a new month, new moon (by a day or two) and lots of “new” going on around here. October ended with a bit of craze, but it was good to highlight some of the areas in which I need to be careful to not get burnt out with all that I am doing. This past weekend was my second-to-last yoga training weekend. We only have one more in 2.5 weeks and…

  • It has been a busy couple of days. So much so that I totally forgot about writing yesterday – also because my “screen time” routine has been unsynced due to my usual locale for such work being out of Internet commission. 🙁 Being the creature of habit and liking things to be “perfect” that I am, makes adjusting to slight changes such as this rather difficult. I have already shared how bad I…

  • I realized that I have never really explained properly here what I have chosen to do with my life since quitting. I think I said I would update later and then never did as our lives have been on a bit of a roller coaster since I quit working full-time. Therefore, let me explain. Although I have never truly wanted to run my own business, I have always wanted to be free from…

  •   _The Bamboo Stalk_ by Saud Al Sanousi The October Book Club for AWN is this book. We meet next week to talk about it, but I thought I would go ahead and write about it here now that it is fresh in my mind. Unlike last month’s title, this one was so easy to read and quite enjoyable. Although not exactly another uplifting story (what is with the selections???), it was closer…

  •   _King Leopold’s Ghost_ by Adam Hochschild Last month I joined the Book Club of the AWN (American Women’s Network) where I have been spending a lot of my time being active in meeting people and other things. While I never in my life expected that I would become a “book club lady”, I did decide that I was going to try new activities in areas that I am both interested in and…

  • We are on the verge of insanity, of normalcy, of living, of dying…. This morning I went to have my medical done, which is one of the last major hurdles before my residence visa gets issued. I am not allowing myself to get excited just yet, but it does mean that we are nearing the point where life just might – just might – start on the path to normal again. 😀 There is…

  • _Yoga Therapy: A Guide to the Therapeutic Use of Yoga and Ayurveda for Health and Fitness_ by A.G. Mohan and Indra Mohan This text that was required for my yoga teacher training course was one of my favorites.  It is easy to read for explanations on yoga as therapy looking at the whole person rather than yoga as fitness looking to exercise. There are also good tips for assessing new clients and sequencing…

  • Ah, do not let the title mislead you. I am by no means setting ‘real’ workout goals. However, that does not mean that I do not think about challenges. Given that my car is in the shop and M needed the car for morning appointments, it was most convenient to have him drop me off at our Tuesday morning meeting point on the Corniche. I think I mentioned that I have joined a…

  • Well, my best intentions of late have been waylaid the past few days. Not without some positive moments as well. 🙂 Thus, let me share what has been happening. On Thursday, we were in Dubai all day. I had made plans to go meet a few people from yoga about future work and collaborations. While that was only two meetings in the day, M also had a couple of appointments lined up with…

  • …or so the saying goes. This can be interpreted for the negative and the positive. At the moment, I’m having faith that there is a building up of the positive that is going to dump it all at once on us soon! Sometimes I think that the universe is testing me like Job to see how much it takes for me to break. So today I mentally told the universe “You will not…
