Hello dear, as January progresses, how is your energy? Have we thrown ourselves back into the rat race? Ten days into January, I am trying my best to rest well. I am living slowly, I am hacking myself almost every minute, I am constantly fighting with my own mind; I am hard-wired to negative thoughts, … Continue reading Energy

Un-busy
Interesting.... It's not easy to un-busy myself. I woke up this morning and was thinking: should I run or should I just do exercise at home or should I meditate? Or...should I get out of the room, make the hot water and have a hot cup of my fave black tea and sit quietly while … Continue reading Un-busy
Bluebellvine
Look around you and write something that you notice Donna Ashworth It's raining hard this evening, there's a bluebellvine plant in the front yard, its vivid blue flowers stay intact under the rain. The vines are leaning to a mango tree so they look like two friends leaning shoulder to shoulder. I wonder what their … Continue reading Bluebellvine
Peace
I chose the word 'peace' for the year 2025. I want to make the word as the anchor for me to walk through 2025. Why the word peace? Hmm .. I don't know... The word kinda pops up in my mind, perhaps because that's what I need; inner peace. My initial word was 'Acceptance', but … Continue reading Peace

It was an eye-opener when I found out that even my parents too don't have any clear descriptive map for navigating their lives. They are confused, they have their … Continue reading Acceptance
The bread

I found out that it's still so hard for me to take bad commentaries lightly, even when I know for sure that the person who made the comments truly cares about me and has no bad intentions whatsoever. I … Continue reading The bread
Experiences
Processing life experiences is hard... Particularly when one had a near death experience. I read that in Claire Nelson's book, Things I learned from falling; A good book, the tagline: A must read true story of 2020 really suits it. Soon after the life-changing experience, we were usually filled with gratitude, we thought we used … Continue reading Experiences
Chapters
How are you my dear? It's been a while, since the last time you chatted with me... I'm good. Okay, I have scrolled too much in the insta-land. It's admittedly easier to do than to think what to write to myself like this afternoon. But hey... I'm here now. It's raining... It's a beautiful time … Continue reading Chapters
Expensive
Name the most expensive personal item you've ever purchased (not your home or car). My sanity, that's the most expensive thing I own. Almost a decade ago, I need to pay a hell of money to the cunning and greedy lawyer just to settle my divorce. I have to pay a lot of staycation when … Continue reading Expensive
