Moments that matter
There are so many moments. Every day there are thousands of split second episodes or longer running clips that make up our lives. Each one we have the power to influence. Yet how many of us miss the moments that matter wishing for moments that have yet to be and may never be. Even when … Continue reading Moments that matter

Running runs deeper than nutrition, times, distances, and body composition. Mind vs body take running to the next level. What’s your next level non-negotiable?

The peripherals
On running I went running this morning. I've been training for an upcoming 5k and trying to get my running legs back. I've been running on and off since my teens, and I turn 40 this year. But I've never made it past about 5 or 6 miles at any one time. It's not since … Continue reading The peripherals

On making mistakes
All good writers use editors. Editors see things that are blind to a writer's eye; writers get lost in the sentiment of their message and miss glaring mistakes. Editors are necessary because they allow our readers to receive our messages more easily without being distracted by grammar, spelling, and word choice errors. Editors are a … Continue reading On making mistakes

Wondering
I wonder, sometimes, who I’d be if I hadn’t moved abroad. If we hadn’t made those choices, before we even wed and in our early 30s when life was simpler and we didn’t know what was ahead. I wonder, sometimes, if I’d have stayed in London, if I’d still be flat sharing and partying and … Continue reading Wondering

Following my intrigue…
Just before Christmas, as I was shopping around for gifts for my loved ones, I stopped into a little store at my local mall. The store is run by an Asian lady who hand makes every item she sells. She mostly sells jewelry, often containing birthstones, but she also sell one off gifts. One such … Continue reading Following my intrigue…

It’s the simple things.
I was never a reader when I was younger; I was a party girl through and through. It wasn't until I got sick in my early 20s that my life slowed down, and I started to think more about what I wanted from my career and my life. I began reading a lot more about … Continue reading It’s the simple things.

Building a happier working world, one mini library at a time.
My parents have been staying with us over the last few weeks, after us not seeing them for almost two years. They are avid walkers, but my mum likes to walk to a spot and have a ‘reward’ when she arrives. A reward means coffee and cake, so who can blame her! When I heard … Continue reading Building a happier working world, one mini library at a time.
Will I ever get back to writing?
I'm not sure where to begin. I haven't written regularly for about 2 years. Life got busy. It still is, but different busy. Busy enough that maybe, just maybe, I can carve out some space to put words on the page again. I want to write; I miss it, but I don't know what I … Continue reading Will I ever get back to writing?
