Under Construction

Keni last shared their writing First Saturdays
The first Saturday of every month, I meet with two groups of ladies. One is a book club and the other is a group I became a part of after an online class. 

The book club is mostly Ethiopians and we read a book that has been voted by the...

2021

I don't recall being more impatient for a year to end like I wanted 2020 to end. 
I was completely done with 2020. I just found it hard to comprehend the level of stress and disaster that came with last year and just compounded as the months went by. 

Somehow, I just...

Retrospective
Liked Vs Respected


Pick one - Liked Vs Respected.
I love asking these questions and hearing people's perspective.

After thinking about this a lot, I have come to feel that the two rarely happen together at the same time. 

I belong to the group of liked a lot of times. Though I have often seen that...

Health patterns

Ever since I started using a Dexcom, I have had more control over what I should eat and how best to control my sugars. Before the Dexcom, the only way to check for sugars is through a finger prink a few times a day. Dexcom provides what the sugars are...

India

I grew up in India. Almost 8 1/2 years while I was a kid. I still speak the language, listen to Indian music and love their food. It is a part of who I am.  

When I returned home and as I started to get older, I started to hear...

Butterfly moments
Butterflies

These beautiful creatures are effective decision making tools.
How?
By checking if one should do a task/goal/adventure based on butterflies. In the stomach.
I heard a remarkable toastmasters speech last week. The speaker spoke about an experience she felt afraid to do and asked, "If you don't get butterflies in the stomach,...

Retrospective
Sacrifice

Many years ago, a close friend talked about a relationship he was in. The partner in the relationship accused my friend of not putting in enough in the relationship. "Why am I sacrificing so much?" was a common thing he heard. 

He then said to me that if one party feels...

Retrospective
Fair

When I was a kid, I used to be a fanatic about justice and fairness. Now I see the same passion from my nephew and niece. "It is not FAIR"...they would say. Especially when things were clearly not right. I now believe that if most people do not experience unfair...

Retrospective
Poetry

I had so many thoughts and emotions during the day today. So many things happened and I was glued to the TV almost all day.

The one thing that I hadn't expected was the poem by someone that looked like a teenager to me. Amanda Gorman. She was so powerful....

Mastery
VR

I am not a very tech gadget/gaming type of person. At all. 
Back when I was a kid, I would have 1 or maximum 2 games that I loved - and that was all I wanted to play - if I wanted to play. Something about gaming didn't do it for...

What do people want?

The week started well and I feel energetic. I was mildly curious about what types of business are profitable in 2021 with a 1 person team. This is a result of watching so many back to back episodes of Shark Tank but I feel the need to engage in making...
