End of January
Surprisingly, I am amazed that it is now the last day of the month. Looking back it was definitely a full month and lots of ups and downs financially, emotionally and even physically. As I reflect on how things have been, I have to say that at the moment I am fairly happy with the…

Last Month of 2016
Wow, it is so hard to believe that 2016 is coming to an end and to reflect on the year that it has been. A year ago, we were 20 days from getting legally married. A year ago, I was making my decision to quit my full-time job to embark on the crazy path of…

Money Turns Green or Mean
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.

_MaddAddam_ by Margaret Atwood
_MaddAddam_ by Margaret Atwood The last of the trilogy following_Oryx and Crake_ and _The Year of the Flood_, this one was very disappointing to me.

Perspectives
Day 25: What moment this week are you most grateful for? Well, the week is not over, but so far this week the moment I am most grateful for was during our day trip. In Oman’s airport, we had Dairy Queen where I introduced M to an Oreo Blizzard. It was a moment when we…

_Second Honeymoon_ by James Patterson
_Second Honeymoon_ by James Patterson In light of yesterday’s adventure, I took along a ‘holiday’ reading for the plane ride. Also, it seems that lately I have been preferring to read paper books for some reason. Since I had bought this one in the last week of work for a discount, I thought it was…
