Tell me are you interested in keeping the momentum going towards your goals, and connecting to similar like minded individuals for synergy, support, and friendships? How about feeling like you can take on the world and become a force to be reckoned with? Well, then I hope you’re staying true to your commitment about always being a student of life because that’s the approach – to stay connected to your authentic self and desires in life!

I’m keeping the commitment to myself to continue to approach life as a student, recognizing that I don’t have all the answers, being open to receiving the wisdom, insights, strategies, creative awareness/inspiration that comes when I self indulge into learning, reflection, mediation, yoga, and retreats. All in all, it’s about taking in what really resonates with me [Continue Reading...]

Practicing Yoga – Allows me to reconnect with my Inner calm, Focus, Balance & Resilience Against Chaos and Stress!

Maybe I’ve mastered thriving in and rising above chaos because my childhood could be described in that very same one word – chaos. I also believe that mastering my childhood chaos has made me very effective in my HR role, especially in employee relations and keeping my calm and focus in some very intense situations in the workplace. So let me share how I’m allowing for flexibility and continue to build my resilience, so chaos doesn’t get the best of me!

How I’m Allowing for Flexibility in My Life and Thriving Beyond the Uncontrollable/Chaos:

Getting at least 6 hours of sleep. I function really well on this amount, but sometimes need more and can occasionally function fine with less, but these days I try not to make this a regular habit, if [Continue Reading...]

Grand Palace in Bangkok, Thailand – GAdventures Tour – 2/2012 Traveling to other countries has resulted in life changing & adventurous experiences! Learning how to better embrace being out of my element!

Commitment to learning is a mission to staying true to yourself and reconnecting with your divine self. For some people, like myself, this fiery desire of learning is just something I can’t live without, and is almost like an addiction.

Have another confession for you!

So recently, when I was feeling like I lost my creativity and wasn’t quite sure what to do about it, I was not in my best place, and went into this searching phase of trying to figure out what to do next. Then I came to realize that obsessing over this concern was just not working for me. It was actually having the opposite effect, where I was blocking the positive energy and creativity. Hello! How could I have not recognized this? It was time to shift [Continue Reading...]

Cow Harbor Day - Northport Harbor, NY - 9/2011

As the Cow Harbor 10k race is approaching in the coming weeks, it suddenly became obvious to me during my last practice run of the course that running a race implies similar strategy as approaching a relationship.

In the beginning, even though the adrenaline rush is taking over and the excitement of the new is heightened, you can’t go out too fast at the start of a race, or rush a relationship to hurry love. Otherwise, you just won’t stand a chance to make it to the finish line strong or really give the relationship the opportunity to develop! It’s all about pacing yourself in the race, and in a relationship. Get connected with yourself and the other person first, so you can determine if you’re compatible.

Challenging hills in a race represent [Continue Reading...]

Had an epiphany the other day in realizing how I made it to where I am today in my life. For years, I had been attributing it to hope, determination, being insightful, analytical and resourceful. However, it became quite obvious that it goes beyond just that.

It actually comes down to implementing the special dynamic duo of Hope and Expectations. Similar, yet not quite the same meaning in this respect. Hope, or the faith that my future would be better, is what motivated me. Expectations are what I saw as actions taken based on the Hope. So it was both Hope and Expectations that I had to be successful in life that formed my ambition to create the life that I desired.

Hope and Expectation that my life would be better and [Continue Reading...]
