Coaching: Let’s start at the very beginning
Coaching: Let’s start at the very beginning Capturing the moments and memories of this beautiful new phase in my life. End-January 2020: With corona virus spreading across Hong Kong and number of cases rising, schools were asked to shut down. We were in Mumbai over Chinese New Year and what had been a short 5-day… {Read More}
Let’s cut the story “short”
I feel “liberated.” That was my first thought after recently getting my hair cut short…really short, from my usual fairly long hair. And what a difference it made, not just to my looks but to the way I felt! Strange but true, I felt like a big weight had been lifted off my chest, as… {Read More}
Life in the ‘new normal’

“What should I post on Facebook?”
Honestly I did not realise how difficult it would be to get back to my “virtual” life! I’ve been off Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for over 3 weeks now. Yes it was intentional- to give myself some space, some room to breathe, some time to think, some thoughts to reflect upon – without having the… {Read More}
