Embracing discipline: picking up where I left off
Ever lost track of your disciplined routine? A chat with my friend sparked a change within a week. Returning to my 90-day planner revived my discipline and focus. Interested in reigniting yours? I've shared my journey and a downloadable digital planner to help us all embrace discipline together.

Un-sabotaging my life
Sabotage /ˈsæb.ə.tɑːʒ/ to intentionally prevent the success of a plan or action I know it sounds dramatic, but sometimes dramatics are needed for one’s eyes to be opened to reality. This year more than ever before, I’ve had people tell me things like “You’ve got so much in you.”, “There’s so much that you can do, do something!”, “You can do more than you’re doing now.”, etc, etc. You get the drift? So do I. That’s why I think it’s time to take action and undo some of the damage I’ve done in my own life. (Again, pretty dramatic, but it’s still true.) It is easier said than done. Telling someone…

‘Late’ bloomer, but still blooming
“Do you have kids?” my pedicurist asked. “No,” I answered, already knowing where this conversation was heading. “Oh, but you’re married, right?” she continued. I gave her a quick “nope”, hoping that it would end there. It didn’t. “How old are you?” “30,” I replied. “Oh,” she said with a pitying face and went back to minding my feet instead of my business. This conversation is one of many similar conversations I’ve had with people not knowing what to say when they find out I’m unmarried, without kids, living at home, etc. at the big age of 30. I don’t blame them, because according to societal norms, I’m probably not…

Coulda, shoulda, woulda … but didn’t
It’s been a full year since I posted anything on here and I sure am ashamed. The last time I posted a blog, I mentioned that I was going to be consistent, yet I failed miserably. I could’ve written more blogs if I did my best. I would’ve written more blogs if I took the time for it. I should’ve written more blogs if I really wanted to be consistent. However, I didn’t write more blogs. This coulda-woulda-shouda-didn’t situation has happened several times over the last few years and it’s a situation that I no longer wish to be in. It’s actually a hindrance to the amazing life I’m trying to live. And it wasn’t until a…

New job, new mindset
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a blog and that’s because I started working again. Can you believe it? Yes, I’m back at the office, but things are very much different now. I’m not working fulltime and I’m not in the corporate world. This new job is parttime and more on the social spectrum of things. On the 1st of November 2021, I started working as a communications advisor for an aid organization. It all started when I decided I wanted to work again. Initially I wanted to do volunteering work because I like the causes these organizations stand for. Then, praise be to God, I found out that some…
