Sunday Funday
After the morning visit with the porcelain throne I stare in to the mirror, washing my hands thoroughly before reaching for a bamboo toothbrush. Gotta get the grossness of the cigarette off of my tongue and teeth. My brows furrow as I scold myself internally.. Before Halloween I will stop this disgusting habit. Different coping mechanisms are available and I need to hold myself accountable.

Why Rising To The Challenge Of Reconnecting With Nature Is Worth It
Like many of my peers, I was raised in “pristine” suburbia with all of the manicured lawns but none of the vast expanses of nature that you can only truly experience in rural locales. I was always somewhat comfortable in nature, but it took time for me to feel fully at peace and open to the benefits of simply being outdoors, off the grid, by myself.

SURPRISE
I miss my flight to leave back to Arizona. My first time ever to miss a flight. So now my entire day will be lagging, I call the Q.C. Manager, she says I'll see you when you get here. Everyone is happy I'm back to work, I'm the head of Quality Control Managers' right-hand man/woman in this case; as well as being the Document Control Specialist, just some big title that's all that is. I do not like being "on-call" after I leave work to go home. I've hired on with Moll Medical, div. of Moll Industries Inc. they've since closed the doors in Tucson and possibly even in Texas, but I was lucky enough to be hired on to move the Costa Mesa location that was manufacturing devices for 22 years to the Tucson location, the only team players were the Plant Manager that actually made the move with the company. Nobody else from California moved with it, so, all the new hires that were sent to Costa Mesa were housed at an extended stay for 6 months, it was a nice little vaca away from Tucson. The Little Vietnamese woman that trained me didn't want me to leave Carol, she even offered me her home to stay with her & her husband if I wanted to, she was such a sweetheart. She was adopted to a Christian family as a refugee and raised in Seattle, WA. She said at the first meeting to me, I reminded her of her stepsister. That sounded so weird. But, look at all the celebrities adopting kids from other countries. It's not that weird really.

Cat Scratch
Normally, the end of high school is the best thing for a teenager. No more homework, getting up early, and having to deal with boring teachers. But for me, my graduation was not as glorious.

A Dairy-Free Attempt
During mid-semester break which was the beginning of April, I decided to stop having dairy. Malaysians were going through the Restriction Movement Order and that was when Dalgona coffee went viral. There was a small packet of Nescafe Classic Dark Roast coffee that we received for free a few months ago when we bought something (can't remember what was it) at the supermarket. We used that packet to make the Dalgona coffee and loved how the milk was able to balance the bitterness from the coffee.

Top 10 journaling prompts for good mental health
Every morning I write a journal. On the days when I don’t write, I really notice it in my mental health. It doesn’t take long after not writing for my mental health to back up, like a gutter clogging with leaves, and I can’t work out what I feel anymore, or what is prompting me not to feel good about myself.

In the beginning
Resa Ferreira Grief, Part 1 Today It was not my husband’s first stroke or the last stroke or any of the strokes in between that brought me to my knees. It was my disconnect. I lost my way and could not remember grief - the depth and breadth of it, the sorrow and angst, and even the joy of it.

Think Fat Loss, Not Weight Loss
Weight loss is one of the hottest topics ever. Everyone seems to be trying to lose weight nowadays. Most diet programs are about weight loss and body weight is often used as an indicator of fitness progress. But, this is an incorrect approach.
