My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • So, back in June, I wrote about how veganism is not for me. Remember then I said that I had issues about it as a diet? Well, recently a vegan friend of mine finally posted on FB how being vegan is not about the diet, but simply about protecting animals. Instead of preaching about health benefits, she is sticking with her passion in ‘protesting’ against animal cruelty and is actively offering tasty, healthy…

  • ​​ I have decided that I only like my voice for vlogging on Snapchat if there is a funny voiceover. Although the face isn’t great, I can live with it. 😛 M is probably right that I’m just a little bored playing with this, but it’s also a case of getting myself used to the new world of videoing more as I imagine I’ll need to do some for my business or something. …

  • Some topics are generally shied away from – politics, religion, sex, and money. Mostly I touch on these subjects freely, but lightly, even though I do not really know the breadth of my audience since this space is primarily for my own entertainment. Still, with the Internet the way it is and knowing that my digital footprint is rather huge, I try not to offend or be too obvious about my personal life.…

  • A couple of months ago a friend told me that I should be writing now that I have the time. I was a bit hesitant making some excuses about this and that. However, in the end I realized she was right.  I also began to look for some freelance work on Upwork where I had previously gotten work writing briefs of stories and thought that I would try it again. However, it was…

  • As part of my yoga teacher training it has been extremely important to build my own practice at home to ensure that I do poses and breathing as I learn in training. However, sometimes I lack motivation on my own or I find it challenging to set aside enough time each day to practice at home. For some reason, I have no problem setting aside time to go to a yoga class at the…

  • _From Where You Dream: The Process of Writing Fiction_ by Robert Olen Butler Sooooo I must admit that I have little recollection of reading this book. I recall the title and author’s name, but even when I looked at a review to try to refresh my memory, I do not remember it at all.  I imagine it was suggested either by a writer friend or just popped up from a Goodreads scan. I…

  • _The Power of Your Subconscious Mind_ by Joseph Murphy This summer really required some reading to get a handle on my mind and my reactions to situations that were beyond my control. Rather than focus on what I could not control, I decided to look into the areas that I can. Our subconscious minds are very powerful and attract what we spend most of our time thinking about. Therefore, learning to focus on…

  • As I walked each morning my route from the guesthouse to the yoga villa in Bali, I would pass the same people and greet them with a smile and “Good morning.” In a very short time it became a familiar routine that I greatly looked forward to. I would pass a small family temple and the residents were often outside washing or chatting alongside the small, dirty channel that flowed with water down…

  • Ten months ago when I decided to embark on my yoga teacher training journey – on a day when I had taken a day off work because I needed a ‘mental health day’ to escape the dread of going to work each day – I had no idea how I was going to make a retreat to Bali work as part of the course. However, I knew that something would work out and…

  • If I have learned nothing else this summer, it is that I cannot really plan and most especially cannot control ANYthing. 😛 With that said, there are some things that I can plan and do. Tonight (early tomorrow), I leave for my Bali retreat as part of my yoga teacher training. I am being asked to teach a couple of times during the week with one ‘day’ as mine to lead. Since I…
