This month, I choose to flow.No more gripping so tightly, no more hoarding “just in case.” I’m learning to loosen my hands, to trust that life will bring what I need when the time is right. It isn’t easy—this unlearning—but I wont carry what’s too heavy anymore. I want to move through October like water: … Continue reading Flow

Meek
"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."That was the verse I received at my church confirmation, some thirty years ago.I didn’t choose it—it chose me. Or perhaps, it was handed to me by something I wasn’t yet mature enough to understand. I never liked the word meek.It sounded too quiet, too soft, … Continue reading Meek
Protest
I have a strong tendency to avoid the negative chit chat in the office, you know when your friends talk about everything that goes wrong in the management, in the country, in the world? I don't want to engage with that kind of conversation. I don't want to ruin my inner peace, and yes I … Continue reading Protest
Strength
There are days when I feel so low and broken, even a whispering wind can knock me down. Today is that day. So I choose to look at my photo when I look strong, and confident. This is one of those 'strong' photos. After the darkest night, the sun will shine, so bright it can … Continue reading Strength

How lucky I am to have come this far.I don’t know how I made it through—what I did or didn’t do—but I’m here. And maybe that’s the most beautiful part:I’m still here. Still needed.

Somehow you find a way to get back and in that journey , you learn to … Continue reading Gentle
Running notes
Several notes about my running today: Forgot to lace my shoes correctly, the shoes are supposed to be snug, not too tight and not too loose. A reminder: I do not need new running shoes! -sigh!- 😅 My smart watch started to mess up, I ran 5 km and it recorded 8 km; I ran … Continue reading Running notes
Comparison
I've just read somewhere, nobody is truly happy with their lot in this life. So to let go comparison is the most liberating act of love we will ever do to ourselves. A princess has shared to the public that she got cancer, a famous super sexy singer has been cheated, a dear friend who … Continue reading Comparison

Non-peace
Forgive yourself for not being at peace, the moment you completely accept your non-peace, your non-peace is transmuted into peaceEckhart Tolle Perhaps it's because my aging self, or perhaps because I am too tired to not admitting my not-at-peace-mind, I was stunned when I read the quote above. Why I often make things more complicated … Continue reading Non-peace
