The dance of life—are we following or are we leading?

We may not realized this but living our daily lives is pretty much like dancing. My late ballroom instructor mom Betty, told me years ago that dancing is always from the heart, as it requires passion and commitment. Echoing my Malaysian mom Nyah’s sentiments, like life and in dancing, I cannot achieve a full-time reward with a part-time effort. I will never forget what my late mom Betty, asked me the first time we talked about my taking ballroom dancing lessons. She asked, “Do you want to dance… Continue

The First Step in Manifesting is Knowing

The First Step in Manifesting is Knowing Recently I asked what I wanted from my life, what did successful mean to me? I needed to think about it for a while. Being a Gemini, there is so much that I wanted for myself and others-eye, there be one of the rubs. For as much as I may want the world to be peacefully wonderful, it is not my right or responsibility to make it so.

Daytime Soap Operas: Bringing Back Storylines Based on Suspense, Drama and Romance

Daytime Soap Operas: Bringing Back Storylines Based on Suspense, Drama and Romance Saving Days of Our Lives What Daytime Soap Operas have lost is the suspense, drama and romance that came from creative and unique storylines. Instead of focusing on the plots, the writers have chosen to fixate on sensationalism by seeing just how far they can go sexually on the screen. This has turned the shows into little more than glorified soft porn, without plots and character development. No longer do Frida… Continue
