Time To Write A Love Letter To Myself As A Thanksgiving Gift

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 …

Writing is an act of faith – just like life.

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 …

How Long Are We Going To Let Others Make Decisions On Our Behalf?

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 …

My Way Or The Highway? Is It Such A Bad Thing?

As some of you know, I am in a new role. Fortunately or unfortunately, four managers have left in the last five years – while that is a problem in itself. An impact of that is that my team was left rudderless to fend for themselves in the corporate jungle. They did the best they …

Humanity could do with a little bit of trust these days, right?

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 …

How to be free of obstacles and bust through creative blocks?

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 …

What Are You Ready To Share With Life?

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 …
