Hello homies!!!!!! I missed you! 😛

Such very busy weeks indeed – launched a new website at work, hosted an event, hosting too many visitors at home, writing many, many things and more.

​

Anyway, these past few weeks so far have been about heart openings. ♡

I realized how open my heart is more than my previous years.

I can honestly say, I am not worried about anything because I trust God and life – that in 30 frakkin years on Earth, not one of my worries happened. 😅

And even if some terrible things did happen, i.e., Mom’s death, in the end, some really, really good things came out of it. (It was her 6th death anniversary this month).

I still don’t have all the answers, but it was truly a full circle moment for me last weekend to be able to finally say this – that good things did came out of it – healing, awakening, courage, family reconciliation, more.

​

I won’t ask you to believe or do the same, cos honestly, this realization only comes as you continue to move forward with both hurt and hope.

Life softens and firms you as you continue to move forward and upward.

Soften, not to the point of weakness, but soft in a way that is open, more trusting, and more compassionate towards yourself and others.

​

And I share this to inspire and remind you that life does get better.

Your challenges become harder, true, it’s part of growing up, but your internal and external outlook in life become better too – so fewer and lesser things get to you.

​

You reach this point when you spend time getting to know yourself better each day.

When you stay open to new learnings and what life brings to your plate.

​

So, in this edition of the newsletter, I share with you 3 things I feel called to share.

I didn’t even take time to categorise this one, cos I am literally just flow writing ✨ right now, so bear with me darlings:

​

Whoever has the most fun wins!🥳

I’m at a point in life wherein if I choose to do anything at all, I wanna have fun doing it.

Results aren’t always guaranteed, might as well enjoy and play while doing it.

Which also means, if I know I am not gonna have fun doing it, then I won’t do it.

You never lose when you do anything with joy, gladness, and intention.

Who gives a $hit if you win, but feel miserable in the end?

I’d rather be the one finishing a marathon dancing💃 at the finish line even when I am so d@mn tired.

​

It’s an experiment, not a destination.🔍

👉If you treat life as a destination, you’ll always feel like you have not arrived.

When you treat life as an experiment, you take more risk, you meet failure with curiosity, you’re not scared to share whether you succeeded, you lose, you simply acknowledge that it’s all part of the experiment.

There really isn’t a failure, only points for improvement for someone who experiments.

Even deciding to give up on certain experiments does not mean failure for someone who meets everything with curiosity instead of taking everything personally.

Lean into curiosity, to mad pursuit of living life instead of just trying to live another day or making a living.

Your life is more than just a destination.

​

What is a good life other than being a daily celebration!🍾

I don’t have to remind you that you’re literally half-dead when you’re asleep.

It’s not an opinion, it’s a fact.

So truly, we have a reason to celebrate every day.

Most especially when you accomplish a goal.

A lot of people forget to celebrate their wins and think that achieving the goal in itself is already a celebration, but actually it’s not.

Take time to celebrate your accomplishments or even just the mere fact of showing up or facing your fear.

You can do that by as simple as buying yourself your favorite treats or taking yourself on a date or as big as throwing a party – whatever works for you.

​

When you celebrate your wins, you call forward for more of it.

The same is true for celebrating others – what you celebrate in others, you call forward more for yourself.

Life is abundant and has space for you and others.

​

​

I wish you a great rest of the week ahead.
