I haven’t taken any day off this year. Due to Covid-19, I’ve cancelled my March trip and have been working from home since March. If not going anywhere, why waste vacation days to stay at home? Yet the good news is that many of the physical events have moved online and become free. I came …

Come Out
I walked after dinner around the neighborhood. It’s cool and refreshing air after the rain and birds are singing all over yet I heard ACs running in several houses. Come outside, open the window, and you’ll see a different world~
Gift
My roommate gave me a home-made mask. It’s from his friend who volunteers in coordinating mask distribution while others sew and pack. A simple piece of cloth yet full of love and regardless of race, religion or political party. I don’t know her or who made the mask yet I thank ‘angles’ like them to …
Reward
A long and busy week to prepare a big project launch. A beautiful day, I decided to give myself a gift – grab a bite and go to the river park. I’m glad to see Wild Wily, a popular burger place is re-opened (temporarily closed due to Covid-19). I sat by the river watching people …
Pay Attention
Today in my walk around the neighborhood, I noticed 3 things: 1st are a bunch of ‘purple ball’ flowers on top of green sticks, like a lollipop and 2nd are ‘pink hearts’ flowers hanging between the leaves. I googled and found the purple ball is called Allium, also known as “ornamental onions”. The pink heart …
Happy Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day to the smart, caring, and dedicated women. Whether we have children, each of us has touched many lives. If we can be a good boss, mentor, teammate, friend, neighbor, or simply a good person is a positive contribution to the world!
Would it be Great if
I joined The Leadership for Women Forum , a free webinar by Sister Sister Network, a community in UK that promotes gender equality through leadership skills training and networking events. We had attendees joining from different countries. Covid-19 has brought many events online and made the world even ‘smaller’, there is always bright side of …
Graduation Comments
Sister shared with me C (her daughter)’s graduation comments that she thanked her teachers and classmates as 貴人VIP in her life to teach, encourage, accommodate, and bring joy to her. It’s incredible how eloquent a 12 years ago can express herself and more importantly, the gratitude and positivity she possess. Those qualities will serve her …
Turn Around

To accommodate the global teams and time zones, the meeting is held at 6AM with Asian/ European group and 11AM with European/ American group. We were excited to get to know the PMs, had pre-session survey to gather interests and introduced ourselves …
Quieter, Cleaner, Kinder
4 weeks ago, I saw nobody wore mask on the street and very few at the store. Today when I went grocery shopping, everybody wore mask. To keep social distance, Trader Joe’s limited 20 people in the store so 1 out then 1 out and people waited patiently and quietly outside in distance, by the …
