Just do it
Just do it means growing by taking action. It's a slogan I struggled to grasp. Planning everything was my way. But recently, I decided to act. And surprisingly, it's going well. I feared the unknown, but hurdles became chances to learn. It's about progress through action.

Embracing discipline: picking up where I left off
Ever lost track of your disciplined routine? A chat with my friend sparked a change within a week. Returning to my 90-day planner revived my discipline and focus. Interested in reigniting yours? I've shared my journey and a downloadable digital planner to help us all embrace discipline together.

Un-sabotaging my life
Sabotage /ˈsæb.ə.tɑːʒ/ to intentionally prevent the success of a plan or action I know it sounds dramatic, but sometimes dramatics are needed for one’s eyes to be opened to reality. This year more than ever before, I’ve had people tell me things like “You’ve got so much in you.”, “There’s so much that you can do, do something!”, “You can do more than you’re doing now.”, etc, etc. You get the drift? So do I. That’s why I think it’s time to take action and undo some of the damage I’ve done in my own life. (Again, pretty dramatic, but it’s still true.) It is easier said than done. Telling someone…

‘Late’ bloomer, but still blooming
“Do you have kids?” my pedicurist asked. “No,” I answered, already knowing where this conversation was heading. “Oh, but you’re married, right?” she continued. I gave her a quick “nope”, hoping that it would end there. It didn’t. “How old are you?” “30,” I replied. “Oh,” she said with a pitying face and went back to minding my feet instead of my business. This conversation is one of many similar conversations I’ve had with people not knowing what to say when they find out I’m unmarried, without kids, living at home, etc. at the big age of 30. I don’t blame them, because according to societal norms, I’m probably not…

Enhancing my work experience
Some of you might remember that in November 2021 I started working again after a 10-month break. Working in a new environment gave me the chance to experience work in a different way than I had before, so much so that I now even enjoy working. (Am I allowed to say this?) Lots of lessons were learned in the past year and a half, but three of these significantly enhanced the way I experience work. They might help you too, so here they are: 1. Embrace mistakes – you’ll get it right eventually I started working in communications, a field I had zero experience in. In fact, at my old job my managers even kept saying I needed to work on my communication skills. I decided to follow their…

Coulda, shoulda, woulda … but didn’t
It’s been a full year since I posted anything on here and I sure am ashamed. The last time I posted a blog, I mentioned that I was going to be consistent, yet I failed miserably. I could’ve written more blogs if I did my best. I would’ve written more blogs if I took the time for it. I should’ve written more blogs if I really wanted to be consistent. However, I didn’t write more blogs. This coulda-woulda-shouda-didn’t situation has happened several times over the last few years and it’s a situation that I no longer wish to be in. It’s actually a hindrance to the amazing life I’m trying to live. And it wasn’t until a…
