My haven

Haven

It’s hard to take time out for Nature breaks on a regular basis, and even though I try it’s nearly not enough. So, just as an addendum to yesterday’s post, I wanted to share the haven I’ve created in my workplace — every time I’m stressing out over some deadline or grappling with writer’s…

A journey of self-discovery

The journe to self-discovery isn't easy

I sat in silence. The sky engulfed me. So did the greenery. It was a meditative state … hearing nothing but the chirping of the birds. The sound of the breeze in the rustling leaves. The smell of grass. Everything kissed by the sun. I was at peace. As I cocked my head to…

A cultural adventure

Korean food

For the first time in the eight years that I have been in the States, I had an amazing cultural and culinary adventure. A Korean coworker took me to one of her favorite restaurants, a little eatery tucked away in the corner of a shopping center – Cho Sun Myun Oak. It was a…

An inquiring mind

Thinking

A couple of my posts in the recent past have triggered some “interesting” in-person/offline reactions — people have said that I am “too philosophical” or that I “want to live in an ideal world.” I’ve been told some of these issues don’t concern them (or me, for that matter) and never will … so…

religion

Note: Fair warning that this post might offend some people. You may find yourself outraged, but please know, I am not attacking your belief system, simply stating my own.

Surrogate Mother

Two recent cases on surrogate adoptions have had me thinking the last couple of days. I’ve learned from the experiences of two very close friends that motherhood is almost like a rebirth for a woman. It’s more than just a physical roller-coaster ride – it’s an emotional voyage that springs new life. For the…

Facebook: your personal recommendation engine

Is Facebook your personal recommendation engine?

Facebook is more popular than Google. At least it was in the week ending March 13. Even though it was a miniscule 0.4 percent increase over visits to the Internet search giant, it got a lot of tongues wagging. From being a platform where people raise virtual animals and open up their lives, Facebook…

If you sell it, we will buy

shopaholic

I always have a list when I go grocery shopping — whether it’s for the weekly produce or the monthly household needs. I learned quickly I needed to do that lest I start exploring aisles and be lured into buying things I don’t need. I’ve ended up with many a random thing thanks to…

True love

Meetinf of the Minds

Love to some is like a cloud To some as strong as steel For some a way of living For some a way to feel Some say love is holding on And some say let it go While some say love is everything Some say they don’t know… Love — the one emotion that…

Slaves to sensationalism

Immediate communication

News? It’s such a joke these days. There was a time when broadcast media reported on, analyzed, and facilitated critical thinking. There was a time when reporters were serious journalists covering social, political, economic, religious, world issues of significance. There was a time when one wore the journalist badge proudly. With the pressure of…
