Day 2: #whyshewrites
While I’m in the flow…. Favorite motivational quote. “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” ~Aristotle I do not know if this counts as a motivational quote, but it has been one of my favorite quotes since I was in college and fell in love with Aristotle’s…

#WhySheWrites
It seems suitable to kick off May and also restart my concerted effort to write regularly again with a challenge by #whyshewrites – as first noticed by a fellow writer @kamsinkaneko from #theslowpath. I have been meaning to get myself back into the habit, but, well, excuses abound and one thing leads to another so…

What’s Your Sign?
Cancerian Red Dragon. Oh, and I’m an INTJ. You may not be a believer of horoscopes or zodiac characters or the Myers-Briggs personality types. You may be one to say that every horoscope or description of a ‘type’ can fit just about anyone. Or, you may just not like being typecast to fit into one…

The Self: Part 2
This week has been #singlelife for me as M is away visiting family. It’s the first time in almost two years that we have been apart for so long or without stress related to our time apart. Even though I obviously miss him, it has been a fruitful time for me. For a while now,…

Still Writing….
Although I have been quiet here with my up and down pattern of writing or promising to write regularly again, I did manage to get an article written last month for April Magazine. This is the beginning of a series that I will be writing on Spiritual Wellbeing. In some ways it is rather ironic…

Bringing Back Writing Focus
Now that I have been able to write fairly consistently for the past three months on the blog (just a few blips in the calendar), I have decided that I need to work on bringing my focus to writing for publications that might generate some income. This week has taught me that I do actually…

Finding My Voice
In the midst of trying to schedule in writing time and really making a decision to focus more on my writing as a way of making income so that when we finally move on to another country, I will not be tied to needing a job in a particular location. However, in doing so I…

I am an Artist – Writer
My yoga teacher said to me in a recent Whatsapp conversation “I think ur just not a socializer…. I think ur an artist. U need to write and be alone a lot”. True? Indeed. I very quickly have gotten burnt out with the networking activities for business. Now, I know that people say that you cannot wait…
