TP Wood is a new author and longtime reader and writer. He is someone I knew was special the first time I met him, I just didn’t quite absorb the importance, I still haven’t. TP Wood is a friend and fellow writer who is teaching me a lot of things about the confidence of being […]
Becoming Flawesome by Kristina Mand-Lakhiani – co-founder of Mindvalley
Becoming Flawesome is much more than a self-help book. It is book that breaks life down into smaller thought-provoking, raw emotions that demand introspection of the reader. It is a collection of relative truths of Kristina Mand-Lakhiani which forced me, and I suspect will encourage all readers, to think, resolve and contemplate for longer than […]
Find Your Magic
I was recently asked about my magic. What do I care about and how do I nurture that care. I truly couldn’t answer. I hesitated then admitted I needed time to think. Time of peace, of no nagging chores or expectations, of no obligations to worry about, yet no one has that. It’s not part […]
Warrior Versus Victim Versus Survivor
I rarely re-read books, but The Motivation Manifesto by Brendon Burchard is proving to be an important, and timely, exception to that rule. Being in a dark place again, I was searching for something that could help lift me up and shine some light on me and this is slowly doing it. Reading a book […]
I’ve Been Going Blogless
It doesn’t feel quite nearly as good as being braless, I and a lot of my friends would admit, in fact it’s kind of been a feeling of loss.It’s not that I don’t have the topics or time to write, it’s that I don’t know if I have the readers to bother. You see, and […]

Someone I adore asked me the other day about my business plan as a writer/creative. My reaction was to laugh. I heard of it, I know what it is, I understand it’s intention and how valuable it can be and yet, time is my excuse. With my limited time spent doing unto others, my actual […]
If You’re Reading This… You Are Lucky
It’s 2023 and we’ve made it. Not all of us have been so lucky and not many of us feel the luck, having lost loved ones and experienced changes that weren’t so flattering to our objectives. But we are here and that is fortunate. For me, 2022 was a lot of lessons to be patient, […]
My Love Letter to At Home/ My Love and Hate Relationship with Movies
After watching a few movies that featured a struggling writer trying to find her place among competitors, be it as an author, freelancer, journalist, etc I knew what I wanted to blog about. Then things changed. You see, in a way I was living in a movie with my writing career. In the last five […]
There Is Always Something Else…
No matter what I add to my to do list, there is always something else I didn’t do. I think it’s a direct route from A to C, notice a few obstacles in the way, take care of those and then add some more things to do for later. The jobs are never done. What’s […]
Discounting Ourselves
With all the hype of Black Friday, Cyber Monday and yes, even Giving Tuesday, the word “discount” was used frequently and, for the most part, I liked it. I found some deals for Christmas gifts, ideas that sparked my own interests and more until I used it in a different way though almost just as […]
