My cousin had remarked how this time last year she had rediscovered her love for music and gave it another chance. And since then, her life has been on a wild ride of progress. And that got me thinking. Me too. I’ve been in a bit of a funk, with regards to my business, but...

Get that Hustle
Sometimes I hit serious writer’s block. Like I don’t know what to saw. Or I don’t want to repeat things that I’ve said before. Because, who wants to read a broken record, right? So while I was drumming up some inspiration to write this post, I came upon this quote. You can’t just sit there...
Keep Your Head Up
In a couple of months I will be at a crossroads. Where I will either have to find a job or find a way to make my business work. Because the reality of it is, money doesn’t grow on trees and neither do paying clients. I understand that the economy is slowly shifting back into...
Facing Fear and Writing Permission Slips
If you haven’t heard of Chris Guillebeau or read his blog, I highly recommend it. Here’s the link to Chris’ blog on the Art of Non-Conformity. Today, he shared his TedTalk about Fear and Permission. And then he wrote this, which, even if I try to paraphrase, I won’t get it quite right. So this...
On Being Better than Last Week
Last week, I was watching a presentation online by Australia wedding photographer, Jerry Ghionis. At the close of his talk he said, “You don’t have to be the best, you just have to be better than last week.” And I found this to be so simple and yet so profound. I think that when we...
Get Excited and Change Things
Sometimes, I think we all could use a little change. Even one little change can make a huge difference in our lives. HUGE. Sometimes it’s a job. Sometimes it’s a living arrangement or location. Sometimes it’s as simple as taking a different route to work or for doing errands. But there’s something about change and...
Real Friendships
I relish good friendships. Real ones. The kind that can withstand the tests of time and distance. The type that are solid and steadfast. I appreciate real friendships. I have a few friends who I have known for a long time now and we don’t talk every day. Sometimes we only are able to chat...
What are you waiting for?
Is there anything in your life that you say to yourself, “I’ll do it tomorrow,” or “It can wait until later.”? Why is that? Recently, I heard a talk on the subject of “not waiting until tomorrow.” And it was inspiring. Why do we put off our hopes and dreams until tomorrow? Why do we...
Stuck in a Rut? Change Something.
Whenever I talk to people who are excited, on fire, passionate, or just plain happy, I ask them how “it” happened? What did they do to get to that place of peace, of happiness, of joy? How did they find their bliss? And usually the underlying theme that runs with each person’s story is that...
Fortune Cookie Wisdom
Sometimes, fortune cookies are wise. Like mine, last week. Sometimes traveling to a new place, leads to great transformation. Wow. This resonated with me. Deep down. For me, this little piece of wisdom has been nothing but true. I can account for several times in my life where this has happened. Growing up and going...
