Hello. ‘Welcome back’ …said the reflection in the mirror. I haven’t been posting for a while now. Truth is, the first excitement of having this blog subsided and dulled down. Just like going to the gym. On New Year’s everyone is excited and motivated and by February 1st everything is going back to normal. As […]
#7 MINDLESS AND MIND-FULL
I rediscovered meditation. Just like a gym membership, I paid for a guided meditation app I wasn’t using. Great. (Finance tips coming soon!) I had that typical moment when I started doing it again and thought… “Why did I ever stop doing it?”. I fell out of love with it. Now I realize how much […]
So, a few weeks have passed. My bad. A terrorist attack, another lockdown and winter came. What a time to be alive. This post is supposed to be light-hearted so let’s keep I that way. Back to why and when I originally wanted to write this. Winter called. And I told it to hold while […]
#5 SELFCARE AND SOULCARE
During these times I have learned a lot. Hope you did too. Some might have learned the maximum amount of days without a shower. Some might have found the perfect recipe for banana bread. Some might have found the right angle to position the webcam to not have to wear pants on zoom. I realized […]

#3 BEANS AND SEEDS
I am excited. I might have found my favourite coffee spot. Technically it’s a flower shop and coffeehouse – the first of its kind in town. That just adds to the flair. You sip on really good coffee and sit in between flowers of paradise and banana trees. In my mind I always wanted a […]
#2 PANDEMICS AND BAKING
I am a decent cook. Not in the traditional sense “follow-the-recipe” cook. Give me a bunch of ingredients and I will whip up something… edible. Well tasting most of the time. I am not a baker. So, I decided to bake due to the surplus of time the world as is has provided. And in […]
#1 GRIEVANCES AND LOSS
I’ve never really lost someone. I’ve lost an acquaintance. I’ve had an acquaintance who lost a hand. Last week I lost my sister. She’s not dead. She moved to Germany. You may say that’s not far away. She’s just one hour away in modern times’ transportation methods. I may say it is far away. She […]
