A Calling? A Purpose?
In my post about goals/resolutions for this year, I said that I was about focus, stillness and simplifying. I also add – building. This year is about honing myself and my skills. For years, I was an English language educator. It was a profession that I reluctantly embraced as a means to an end. The…

Resilient, Adaptable, Flexible, and…
temporarily selfless… these are today’s words. It has been a somewhat emotional, slightly challenging, and a little numbing week. The currency market took the forex fund by surprise drastically decreasing our source of income over a 48-hour period. 😳 Luckily, we are not broke – yet. Luckily, we still have a roof over our heads…

Meditating
After a barely successful attempt at staying sane last week, I decided that I needed to refocus on ensuring that I get myself sitting each day to meditate. The truth is that I have been out of practice and a little bit lax on the meditating scene lately. While I do try to keep my…

Humanism
These past almost two weeks have really given me a sense of peace and calm. I have also discovered a new direction for my life as long as I keep working my energies towards that path. One thing that has really come out of this mindfulness training is the discovery of other people who believe…
