How do we define “success”?

Our personal turmoil begins when we make comparisons with another individual and now sense that we have not lived up to some “expectation” and have fallen short of some sort of “success”.

What’s something most people don’t understand?

That kindness and empathy does not come for free. Someone had to go through darkness, pushing through their own fears and insecurities, to come out the other side in one piece.

Which animal would you compare yourself to, and why?

A bird. Specifically a parrotlet. Too curious for my own good and find myself in situations that a prudent person would know to steer clear of. So let me give you a brief back story. The photo is my pet bird Otis (the blue one) and he is far too curious for his own good,…

Trying to catch a Bream is like chasing a dream

This is an anecdote about reverse engineering our thoughts to achieve the dreams we wish to achieve. _______________________ There can be no growth, no innovative thoughts or creativity when we choose to have fixated thinking.

Relationship: If you love someone, never go to the supermarket together

When we’re single, there is always a romantic notion attached to the ideals of coupledom, and all the things we could do as a couple.

Forgiveness comes from a place of understanding

If you can’t do it for them, do it for you. Don’t wait to forgive. The time on earth is finite. Why are we holding a grudge? Is it because we feel entitled to it? At what cost are we paying? We never consider the hidden cost of unforgiveness. Or the fact that we ……

A floral installation: A short tale about hope & growth

A flower does not bloom over night. Their beauty also came with many struggles. They had to fight the darkness in order to find the sun, the source of nourishment. The flower never gave up because she couldn’t see the light. She has faith. Pushing one sprout at a time. She never gave up until…

What experience helped me grow the most?

Kindness. Because, genuine kindness showed me the other side of humanity and gives hope for a better world. To know that there are people who have been hard and gone through their own trials to know that – sometimes, another human needs a helping hand without (potentially) benefitting from you. This is grace, I don’t…

Does keeping the peace, really bring the harmony we seek?

This post is about family and keeping the peace. The mind and the body are more closely connected than we care to believe.
