My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • I am mulling around an idea for a post on my business blog and thought I would draft it here to see how it reads. Plus, I can add my editorial comments here before making it more neutrally professional. 😛 Obviously, with the launch of my business website – The OSH Network – I am having to explain why I do not want to simply organize a few private group sessions for people…

  • _Light on Yoga: Yoga Dipika_ by B. K. S. Iyengar Beware that the next few book write ups will be yoga related. We had quite a few that have been required for my yoga teacher training and even though not all have been assigned specifically, being a reader makes me want to get through them all. 😛 Also, I had quite a bit of time this summer…. So, with my handy organizing skills,…

  • Over the years I have tried different hair styles, always looking for the one that made me less “Asian” looking and avoiding the ones that were particularly stereotypical.  Whilst living in Japan it was nearly impossible to get my hair done without being turned into another Japanese girl keeping up with the latest trend. They obviously did not know me.  I have had short short hair and long straight hair. I tried a…

  • 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…
