  • Why do today what you can do tomorrow

    Why do today what you can do tomorrow

    PROCRASTINATION!!! What an ugly word. And I haven’t met a single person immune to this disease. Man oh man. It’s an epidemic. How bad is yours? What is it about not getting to things that need to be gotten to? Leaving it till the last minute, or sometimes even after the last minute. I can’t…

  • Changes are coming..Always

    Changes are coming..Always

    Imagine a life where everything goes as planned from the day you are born. You wake up and everything you wanted and expected went off without a hitch. Every day. Wonderful right? Perhaps? Now think about it like this. You wake up every morning, and every aspect of how your day pans out just as…

  • Love yourself

    Love yourself

    This is something that I’ve been hearing quite often in the last few weeks while going through a bit of life turmoil. But somehow struggling to comprehend what it means. What is self-love?

  • Pay the ransom

    Pay the ransom

    Another day another dollar. Or is it another day in a hostage situation? I find myself driving into work everyday, not sure if it can be called driving actually. I think the term TRAFFICKING should be the word used for that commute rather than driving. Which is such an appropriate term, because once you finally…

  • Make it happen

    Make it happen

    So I found myself sitting in a coffee shop at 9am on a Monday morning after dropping the kids off at school. How did I get this lucky? #lifegoals I don’t remember running into a leprechaun, or finding a four leave clover, or even a bird shitting on me. So is it really luck? What is…

Got any book recommendations?
