Love Thy Neighbour
I’ve been seeing a lot- too many, really- posts about the Bible, religion, and everything that’s wrong with it.( I know, recent searches, algorithms and all that) More specifically, Christianity. It’s what I have been, what I am, and more recently, what I’m questioning. Most of what I believe, I was taught. Or maybe forced…

A little of This, A little of That.
Lately, I’ve been experimenting with rewiring my life- new habits, new thoughts, new ways of being. The self-talk is loud, sometimes messy, and often surprising. One moment it’s pep talks, the next it’s lyrics from a song I don’t even like. Watching my own thoughts has become a job in itself: listening, checking if they…

Routines, Freedom, and Flexibility
One of the things often encouraged in mindful practices is routine. At first glance, that word feels heavy- like the dull repetition we endured in school, the endless schedules that left little room for spontaneity. For a long time, I thought routines were boring, even imprisoning. But I’m learning that routines aren’t cages. They’re freedom.…

The Necessary Delusion
Maybe it’s delusion. Maybe it’s the kind of absurd belief you need if you’re going to do anything meaningful with life. To believe, against all odds, that the thing you’re setting out to do-no atter how ridiculous it sounds- will actually work. That it will yield good results. That even if others have tried and…

Something New, Something Borrowed.
On striving, remixing, and the myth of originality. It’s Tangent Tuesday , so here’s the spiral my brain decided to take me down this week: We talk a lot about “striving to become the best version of of who we are” , of “killing our old selves”, of “becoming the new you.” That language assumes…

Mindfulness in Multitudes
I’ve always been late to trends. By the time I joined Facebook, my peers had thousands of friends. I only started to- or tried- to use X when it was already X. And I’m just now dipping my toes into Threads. As for LinkedIn? That’s a story ( or therapy session) for another day. And…

Chivalry Is Dead — And That’s Okay
I was watching a moving the other day, can’t remember the name, can’t tell how old it was but it had the classic “they met, fell in love.. you get the drift. The twist with this one was, they were left behind by a tour bus in Turkey. And I feel like I have to…

Parenting in Pixels
Raising kids off-screen in a screen-saturated world feels like trying to keep sand out of the ocean. It’s not just hard- it’s a daily negotiation between values, reality and survival. Screens are everywhere. They’re in classrooms, restaurants, pockets, and even toys. They’re educational tools, babysitters, entertainment hubs, and social lifelines. And while they offer incredible…

Scrolling With Boundaries
I used to think I was failing at managing screen time. I had a goal- three hours a day on my phone- but I don’t remember the last time I checked. And that was just the phone. What about the laptop? The meetings? the blog? The endless e-mails? Screens are everywhere. They are the backdrop…

Not Made For This
Love, intimacy, and the myths we inherited that no longer fit the times. Saw a post today about love and “the one” and why it is so hard to maintain relationships in this time and age. The idea was that the world we live in now, with all its speed and pressure, wasn’t built for…
