Letting Life Flow Through Me
I decided to give myself the gift of a five-day weekend instead of a four-day one, as I just needed it. I am pretty good at dropping everything when it comes to self-care and, at the same time, aware that it takes conscious effort to drop from a running train to a sudden halt on …
The one thing that is taking root in my psyche is that – Writing, like all creative endeavours or anything good, comes from a different source. That source can be called God, Universe, Faith, etc., but it is not of this world. It is genuinely an out-of-world item that needs me to manifest in this …
Somebody at work was talking about rules, etc – and my response to that was – ‘I follow the rules if I like them.’ Everybody laughed, but I was serious. I do things if they make sense to me – now, don’t get me wrong. I have lived in the real world long enough to …
I write about what’s current in my life – and right now, it’s all about work. And also writing. Since the writing retreat in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with A Writing Room, writing has become a more natural part of who I am. So, when I write scenes for my fiction book, what comes through …

As promised last week, here is a snippet of our trip to Costa Rica. We went to a small strip of land surrounded by ocean, canals and forest called Tortuguero. It is named after Turtles which use the black sandy beaches of Tortuguero for the nesting/hatching session. I chose this place because it seemed contained …
This blog will be a detour from travelling chronicles – watch this space in the coming days to discover my magical journey through the Costa Rican rainforest. This blog is about my current role at work. Believe me when I say it is super exciting as we will talk about a secret tribe of human …
Right after the Tuscon retreat, I attended a writer’s retreat – my first one in Santa Fe, New Mexico. How did I find out about it, you ask? This year, one of my goals was to get serious about writing. I had no clue what it meant, but I knew I had to do something …
It’s been a while since I blogged. Life got busy – after an eating binge in Toronto, we jetted off to Tuscon, Arizona for a delightful retreat with Alumni from a course I had taken at London Business School – Creativity and Personal Mastery. The retreat was like food for the soul. How can it …
