My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • _Into the Darkest Corner_ by Elizabeth Haynes Thanks to having a Brit in my life, I have been introduced to some contemporary British authors. Given my enjoyment of mystery thrillers, my lovely husband suggested this read. It did not disappoint my desire for entertainment and suspense. A woman meets a man, falls in love, becomes a victim, man goes to jail, woman moves on, woman makes a new start, meets a new man,…

  • As a child I do not know how I was with patience. I imagine that I held it all in and worked hard to never show my annoyance. Does it mean I was patient? Perhaps I was thinking that waiting patiently would bring back my Omma to me.  Possibly the anger and sadness that came with the eventual realization that my Omma was never coming back led to my state of impatience and…

  • _The Decision Book: Fifty Models for Strategic Thinking_ by Mikael Krogerus Back when I was still pushing through my PhD one of my friends gave me this book for Christmas a year ago.  It is a really interesting read of different theoretical models and methods for strategical thinking. While definitely relevant to the world of leadership, it is also relevant to life. We should all know these kinds of things as it helps…

  • Today is moving day. So I won’t write much now. Will try to take some photos and then do a more detailed post tomorrow. 🙂 ~T 😀

  • _The In-Between_ by Jeff Goins My third book by Jeff Goins was a bit less memorable and less useful to me than the others had been. Perhaps it was more about my frame of mind than anything else. Maybe, just maybe, this is the actual point of his book. Goins talks about how we should enjoy and embrace the waiting period between ‘action’ in our lives as there are lessons to be learned…

  • When people drink tequila and beer, the conversations can turn into something interesting. 😛 It became the theme of my “Almost 40 Birthday Party” which was celebrated on Cinco de Mayo. The reference was for the percentage that men should satisfy their women. I will leave it at that. However, like I do with just about everything, I began thinking – on this ratio. Recently, I had a conversation regarding methods of communication in…

  • Packing is one of my least favorite, if not THE least favorite, things to do. It makes me a bit sad. Even when it is packing to go on holiday for which I am super excited about, I hate to pack. 🙁 There are remnants of fear and worry that are associated with packing for me. It used to mean that I was not coming back to the place or that I might…

  • _You Can Heal Your Life_ by Louise Hay I was introduced to this author via the title _You can Heal Your Body_ through some ladies at yoga. When I went to the bookstore to have a look, I found that this one was more along the lines of what I felt like reading. The other one may get read as well, but I think that this one was definitely exactly what I needed…

  • This weekend is a bit of a blur, I must admit, as we were overly gluttonous and indulgent with food and drink due to brunches and events. However, Saturday was a bit of a recovery day where I spent it at this summit. If you know me at all, you know that I am absolutely crap at networking and am generally anti-group self-help activities. However, M was working at the event and got…

  • (card from my honey) Well, I am trying to fully embrace “retirement”. I have said that I do not think any of it will fully set in until about October when everyone is back in full swing at work and I am not. At the moment, it is just the usual summer holiday transition period. Therefore, what is a girl to do to celebrate? Go to the beach club, of course! My first…
