Transforming lives

Is it bad to be contented with what you currently have? With the job that you still struggle to go to every morning? The job that you hurriedly leave as soon as the clock hits 5pm? The job that only allows you to be with your family during your approved vacation leaves, Christmas holidays, weekends, and long holidays? The job that you think pays you well, but pay the President of the company more? Have you ever thought of your own struggles while the top honcho of your company can afford to be with their family on a cruise? or several trips abroad without having to worry about his own future? Have you ever thought about your kids when they are sick and you cannot even take good care of them because your boss would not allow you to go home since they are more worried about keeping BAU (Business as usual?) than letting your kids deter you from work?

No, it is not bad to be contented! In fact, you are lucky to be that! But let me ask you a question, if you were given a chance to transform yourself and therefore be able to transform the lives of the people around you in the process, would you do it? 

Soul on fire

If there is one thing that I learned from the workshop I attended over the weekend, it was to be FEARLESS and RELENTLESS in the pursuit of happiness. And what is happiness for me at this point? It is to be successful in what I am currently doing. Because I want to inspire as I have been inspired. I want to help build people's lives the way I am being taught to build mine. I used to think that the measure of my success would be to be able to wear a toque and finally be called a professional Chef.

But you know what? Every function I've attended only made me realize that I have so much more to unlearn and even more to re-learn. That there is so much more for me to share than just the food I cook for my clients. I don't even remember who I was a couple of months ago. When all I could ever think about is how to rebuild myself in the corporate world. Had I known that there was a huge difference between what I was trying to do before and what I am doing now, I would have done this earlier.

The road is indeed long and hard  but I will make sure I make it to the finish line. I will open myself to endless possibilities. And I will want you to all be part of this wonderful change. If you think you are fearless and want the possibilities I see, come and message me and I will help you be the best version of yourself!

Simple joys

Happiness is a page rank that has gone from 69,541 to 70,025 and an Alexa rank from 9,003,761 to 4,791,870 in just 3 days! Wow! (again little triumphs)

And d’you know what else? J

I started my first blog 8 years ago, twelve days after my wedding anniversary. I vaguely remember why I started blogging but what I can recall though was that I was first introduced to it by a former colleague. I started one but it was without heart so I stopped trying. 

Years later my husband encouraged me to start blogging but I was clueless as to what topic I should focus on. Then one day I realized that perhaps I could do a diary type of blog where I can talk about my journey as a call center mommy or just plain blabber about my day with my kids and whatnot. So blogging happened. Fast forward to 2016 and am still doing the blog dance J.  I might have been in and out of the blogosphere but nonetheless I come back to it like a foodie who keeps coming back for ice cream! 

My 9^th blogging year and my wedding anniversary is about two months away so am thinking of a fun thing to do on these two important dates this coming August. So watch out for that! I’ve been revisiting my first ever blog From the diary of a call center Mom and been teary eyed one moment and smiling with mirth the next. So, I’d like to share with you some of those links. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did revisiting.
