Day 26/365 – On prioritizing
Day 261/26/17 Today started out with plans fit for Napoleon, that is to say that I had a loaded agenda. I had my time planned down to the minute for the various errands to run, appointments to keep, and commitments to carry out. At first I was worried about keeping the schedule to the tee. […]
Day 25/365 – On the journey vs. destination
Day 251/25/17 Sometimes I wish I could skip ahead to where my life is clearly laid out and all the hardships are behind me. I picture myself being sure of my present, my surroundings, and what my future holds. Then I realize that this is impossible and I go back to square one. But even […]
Day 24/365 – On idols and inspiration
Day 241/24/17 Who do you look up to for inspiration? Do your idols motivate you or discourage you? Most likely, you follow people you admire on social media, or read about them, or maybe even talk to them on a daily basis. Theirs is the life you wish to have, or at least model your […]
Day 23/365 – On the importance of sleep
Day 231/23/17 For those avid readers out there, you probably caught on to the fact that I forgot to post last night! But I decided sleep was more important and went to bed promptly at midnight, which I’ve been trying to make my curfew for ages. Going to try again tonight, after I catch up […]
Day 22/365 – On numbers and dudes
Day 221/22/17 I just realized that today, on the 22nd of January, I frequented a restaurant at the address 222 Bushwick Ave (Tradesman in Brooklyn) for brunch. I took note of the number upon entering and leaving the restaurant, and took it as a good omen, and just now understood that it’s even more of […]
Day 21/365 – On the greater whole
Day 211/21/17 Today as I was showing the photos from the Iceland trip to my family, I realized just how true the saying is that “you just had to be there.” No pictures do justice to their subject. The power of the present moment is too grand and too elusive to capture. Arguably, my words […]
Day 20/365 – On unpleasant topics
Day 201/20/17 Thoughts, come to me. Nothing. Thoughts come to me, come to me, come to me…whoozah! Still nothing. Help? Please post in the comments section if you’d like me to cover a specific topic. Help!In the meantime, check out this post I wrote today, about a not-so-pleasant (at all) topic: UTIs.
Day 19/365 – On friendship
Day 191/19/17 Continuing from yesterday’s theme of giving in relationships, I want to talk about another closely related boat: friendship. No matter how far people drift apart with their own microcosms and priorities of their individual lives, they can always find a common anchor that keeps them close at bay to each other. The waves […]
Day 18/365 – On reciprocating love
Day 181/18/17 There is a difference between loving and showing love. Most people show the love they want to receive. In return, they expect gratitude for their love and reciprocation in the same token. However, it doesn’t quite work like that. The recipient of the said love has their own idea of showing love, and […]
Day 17/365 – On controlling the weather
Day 17 1/17/17 Back in herbal school today, after a much-needed break. It never feels like an adequate amount of time when you are on vacation, does it? Nevertheless I love learning about herbs and being part of the ArborVitae community right here in NY! Today the following phrase really caught my attention: “There is […]
