Sail Ahoy, August 2018!




Dear Diary,

It's one month further from the beginning of 2018, drawing closer to my trips, and some exciting times ahead. There's going to be changes geographically, spiritually and more - stressful, yet at the same time invigorating.  I am developing myself too, learning things about me that I never knew, like I am trying to stretch my potential.




August was a delicious month for me, not because of the food I got to enjoy, but because I got to sail with 2 different yachts in a month. I just love the serene seas so much, I cannot even express my love in words. I lost weight! My diet and exercise regime was not all in vain; clothes that were a tight fit, now fit nicely again.

It is lunar 7th month, aka the month of "Hungry Ghosts Festival".  In traditional Chinese context, a month to be feared, as spirits roam the earth. I am not sure - I have walked around sleeping corpses in my line of work and not feel threatened. I walked back alone at night, and I meditate with the lights off during evening too. I write letters to dead relations and burn them off, hoping they'd be well received. Well, it's not that I am totally fearless, but I harmed no one (at least not to the extent of causing their demise!), and what's the worst an evil spirit could do to me? Take my life so I could become like them, and exact vengeance? Hmm.....






Speaking of which, I am glad to be taking the life coaching lessons, and finally following the path of my desired religion again. With it, I feel things have gotten smoother. And with it, I hope to explore and reach my full potential, discovering what my true gifts are, and how I may serve the world at large with these awakened powers. No, its not mumbo-jumbo or a walk in the park - there are plenty of assignments and hard work involved too, but higher powers shall aid to attain greater results. Its like biblical doctrine, "God help those who help themselves."

Social meets with friends have really reduced by a lot - sorry, please bear with me as I have my plates full, with work, insurance business, driving, another course, teaching (part of the work), religious practices and family (happy to touch base with the paternal cousins again!). I am spread so thin, I once joked, "That's the reason for the weight loss." In fact, it came to my realization that 90% of my social events this month were all with my business networking friends :/

Other than that, I am grateful for opportunities also, on the blogging front, mainly beauty or events related.

I shall leave you for now, with lots of love and a quote. "To reach a port we must sail, sometimes with the wind, and sometimes against it. But we must not drift or lie at anchor." Oliver Wendall Holmes, Sr.

See you in September, darlings xoxoxoxoxo's
