finding peace within yourself

Published by

I sometimes wonder, if, when I get together with people, they complain about how unhappy they are just to make conversation or they are truly unhappy. Because often times, after spending a few hours listening to their stories, concerns, worries, fears and what nots repeatedly, I walk away thinking, why don’t you make a change? Is it that hard to make a change or is it harder to accept your life as it is and just live it to the fullest? What drives us to be who we are and how come some people take the initiative to make their lives better for themselves and others don’t? Come to think of it, is everyone the same and some just know how to cope better? Any thoughts?

weekend worries dampening my mood

Published by

The past weekend didn’t turn out to be anything I expected. In fact, it wasn’t the best weekend and one that I wouldn’t want to remember after this entry. I faced many challenges, and definitely a few set backs and now, I am dealing with the aftermath of trying to regroup. In the meantime, I want to take the next few days, to stay off my blog, so that my mood doesn’t spread and I can return fully charged. Thanks for understanding:  

when i was growing up…

When I was growing up, the children of my generation (or perhaps just the ones in our extended families)  weren’t allowed to ask questions, seek answers, nor challenge any decision our elders made on our behalf. So, even though that was the case, I occasionally, challenged the rules, the decisions, and stood up for what I believed in and while being ‘rebellious’ the only thing I ever heard from every woman in my family – be it my mom, grandmothers and aunts and a few much older cousins is: And now, over 40 and still growing, everything is slowly making more sense than I had ever imagined possible. What was my rush? I should have listened. 😉

birthday thoughts

Published by

Never in hundred years I would have ever considered spending my birthday in Las Vegas. I am more of a Napa kind of girl for a birthday celebration. But I am here (on business) so I will make the best of the day, I consider my very own special day (like millions of other people). I don’t know why, but I always wake up very early on this day, somewhat anxiety stricken. Not sure if it’s because I am a year older or just concerned with the fact, I haven’t yet reached the goals I had set for myself. Either way, I am almost positive it is a natural behavior for any woman over the age 25. Here is the list of thing I remind myself each year: 1. Not to think about the age, because it’s just a number. 2. Not to feel bad about the things I haven’t yet accomplished, focus on what I have. 3. Embrace the future by drawing from the past to strive for a more positive lifestyle. 4. Never …
