On November 27 last year, I decided that I will go to the Gym every single day. I did not decide how long I will spend there, I did not have a target for weight loss or any set goals. Just that I will go to the gym every day. It can either be my local Gym or the one at my office. The choice … Continue reading How we spend our days…

Why do I post my picture when I do a blog post? I think that is the safest bet and I don’t need to attribute it to anyone except my family who take them for me. For this one the attribution goes to my son who does not really like me using the school drop off time for my little social media run. His issue … Continue reading We all live in moments inside finite time.

I hear so much … Continue reading 12/365 And then I listen more

But I have heard people say that there was this one moment, a chance meeting, a decision they … Continue reading What is that moment in life that changed everything?
