Starting today, I'm going to cultivate the "sense of enough". I believe I am at that point in my life where I am capable of paying for the things I need and buying a lot of things that I want... Although... "A lot" in my perspective may be a lot different in yours. But let … Continue reading Enough

Grateful
Grateful is my major theme for this year, 2023. I want to remind myself to be grateful every single day. I am grateful for my loving partner, for my blissful marriage, for my artistic son, for a close-knit family I have right now; a beautiful relationship with family is not automatically gifted once we are … Continue reading Grateful
Discovery
Several days ago, I received this anniversary notification, a beautiful surprise. I honestly think that writing is like traveling, by writing I travel into myself, into my mind, I also try to decipher the lessons that I have for that day. This year, I am writing to heal, to record gratitude, and to be at … Continue reading Discovery
Savings
Think of it like this, and one of the most powerful ways to increase your savings isn't to raise your income. It's to raise your humility. When you define savings as the gap between your ego and your income, you realize why many people with decent incomes save so little. It's a daily struggle against … Continue reading Savings
Peaceful
No, of course I don't have everything that I want, but I should remind myself that I already have everything essential. A cup of hot tea, a loving family, good health, ability to rent a cottage in this scenic place, time to have a deep conversation with my husband, and a lot more. May you … Continue reading Peaceful
Experiences
The experiences should and need to be reflect upon. The reflection, that's the fertile soil to grow ourselves, to make use in the best possible way of all those experiences, happy sad and everything in between. I've read some days ago, it's probably from Adam Grant, it said something like this: " From the age … Continue reading Experiences

I'm starting the first day of 2023 with a promise to myself, I will love myself bravely. No more say 'yes' just because I'm afraid that I might offend anyone, no more put anyone's needs or wants above my own needs, no more keep silent about what I want or what I feel. Cheers,Karin Sabrina

I still remember a story that in essence is saying that every human is spending his lifetime looking for his/her best half. The human was built as a couple, man and woman, so they go everywhere and do everything together. But then the gods were jealous and became short -tempered. They were angry and separated … Continue reading Gifts
Fulfilling
Once in a while you have no choice other than to choose something to keep and let another go away. It's funny though, because I kinda think we need to let go of all those things that don't serve us well, but today I have to let go of a thing that actually serves me … Continue reading Fulfilling

My birthday dinner My birthday was in September... But this year, my husband and I celebrated it in October. Not a huge celebration, never was, never will, it's a dinner date in a rather fancy resto in town. I always like to celebrate birthdays, the best reminder that as we age, we will and should … Continue reading Better
