My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • To continue…. So, two years later, I received an email from HS inquiring as to how I was and apologizing for not writing sooner, but that she needed time to process. She asked me to connect with her on Kakao Talk, which is the Korean version of WhatsApp. So, I did. We exchanged a few messages and pictures. She updated me on life and asked me to call her “Auntie” in Korean. Hm…this…

  • I know that I promised some updates on my travels this summer, but as I have finally processed a bit about the results of my birth family search, I thought perhaps I would write on that today. As I was just going back over this blog, I realized that my last posting on this topic was over three years ago!!! Eeks, a lot has happened since then. So, let me pick up where…

  • Well, six weeks flew by and I saw 9 countries that were all wonderful. I will be updating as I can with pics and thoughts on my visits. In the meantime, we got back last night and were up early this morning on a new regime. Since we both got a bit pudgy over the holidays, M and I are on a regular workout routine along with a clean Paleo diet for the…

  • I hadn’t realized it has been so long since I last posted. Guess I have been busy and taking some space to enjoy life whilst processing next steps. This space will, as I am constantly saying, become more active soon. My plan is to return to more regular scheduled programming upon my return to the desert and have a chance to re-establish routine to my life. 😀 It will most likely happen this…

  • In every heart there is a dream In every eye there is a hope In every mind there is a way for it all to come true.  In every child there is an innocence In every woman there is an intuition In every man there is an instinct  for it all to come true  We dare to dream We hold to hope We work to a way  for innocence, intuition and instinct  to…

  • For a while now I have been considering getting a new car because my lovely Materia has spent the last six years getting bullied on the UAE roads. In general I have a thing against buying used cars in this country since people tend to abuse their cars and then lie about the usage. Also, not to be too racist, but there are certain groups of people here whom cannot be trusted. Still,…

  • The importance of space and time is often so misunderstood and under-appreciated. If I say that I’m an introvert to an extrovert, they may think that I’m just being selfish and giving myself a ‘title’ to justify it. Yet, an extrovert who needs to be social without an interest in space and time will never deem him/herself as selfish or justified. It’s just ‘normal’. While I do not philosophically believe in ‘all are…

  • I am exhausted…that’s truly an understatement. I thought I was doing okay in balancing my life out, but it seems that isn’t the case. It is affecting just about all parts of my life, which is not great, though I think work benefits the most. So, this picture nicely illustrates how I’m doing…balancing it all somehow on a very unstable point…It is best that I find a way to do better before it…

  • I am working on my routine and life away from being ‘a PhD student’. It’s progressing well overall, though I still have a few loose ends to tie up with withdrawing from the university and putting together what I need to do to get an article (or two) or book chapter out of what I have. Work is keeping me very busy and this week is going to be a bit stressful as…

  •   So, my second to last post had me all optimistic about finding a way to make my dissertation happen. Then, spring break came and went. During spring break, I determined that I would go to a coach and figure out how to get my motivation going to finish the degree. So, this weekend, I went to see Lisa Laws, as she came highly recommended and I wanted to go to someone I didn’t…
