self discovery – Joy, Love & Wanders

WanderList x Hong Kong: HK 101

Hong Kong is the perfect collision of East and West, offering the most perfect escape for anyone wanting to lose themselves in a city or even escape in nature.

The life you never knew.

It’s been a week that I’ve been in Maui hanging out with a dear friend that I met over a year ago on this same island. He’s helped me overcome fears, encouraged me to be open-minded and intellectually challenges me. I usually give him credit as one of the people in my life who…

“Everything As It Should Be.”

“Everything As It Should Be.” 364 days later, the morning gives way to a heart full of happiness, love and blessings.

The Voice – Fear Busting Part 2

So now I am asking myself…am I afraid of singing or am I afraid of failing at singing? I probably sounded terrible and there were probably a few blown ear drums in the neighborhood. But at that point, I didn’t care that I sounded AWFUL.

The Power of “Yet”

The power of Yet. I’m not there “Yet”. We’re not there “Yet.” Another perspective on Failiure – instead of failing, perhaps you just haven’t gotten there “yet.” (More on this concept here).

#ThankfulThursday: On Gratitude (for You)
