3 biggest takeaways for me from Letting go: – others is a mirror reflecting what we’re unaware of ourselves: A person doesn’t create fear, rather, if we have fear inside, he/she may trigger that.

Do Less and Slower
A friend and I chatted about the books. I remember the book title and knew I had read it yet I couldn’t recall the gist. At first, I thought because I read the book a while ago and couldn’t remember. Yet for book I read recently, I also didn’t remember much. Why not? Did I …

Story-Telling
A friend introduced me to The Moth. I went to a live event, StorySLAM where 10 volunteers, randomly drew from a bag, told a 5 minute story. I loved it – the sincerity of the stories, the energy of the room, and the humor of the host. I noticed a first-timer night with the theme …

Awakening and Blessing
I went to support a friend on her first 5k run. I stayed with her for 10 days training for it: we ran, cooked, and fueled by ‘green power’ food. One day she asked me ‘how I manage my investment’, I told her that I have a financial advisor. She then asked ‘how much I …
ByeBye…Egg, Fish, and Cheese
