    Get to the POINT!

    Sharpern your message & make your words matter Sometimes my thoughts are tangled, and my speech doesn’t know where to start or end. But this is a simple yet inspiring book that reminded me how important it is to find and deliver my point clearly and directly. I’m still learning — trying to make it…

  • 2026 Reading Wishlist

    2026 Reading Wishlist

    I made a commitment to myself: to buy fewer books and read more, not the other way around. So, I ‘allow’ myself to buy one new book only after finishing two. With that in mind, I’ve started a selective reading list, gathered from recommendations by friends and colleagues. Whenever I have a quota to buy…

    2026 – New Year’s Resolutions

    I start my 2026 New Year’s resolutions by looking back at my 2025 ones. I want to adjust them and carry forward some pending goals that I didn’t complete in 2025. We often only truly understand what we did after a year has passed. It’s not bad — I managed to complete several points. 2025…

Her current life filled with grief, peer pressure, regret, guilt, and depression — and somehow it all happens at once, like…

    Arabelle, the Pirates’ Daughter

    Actually, I found this book quite randomly among my other books — it was from my father’s bookshelf – I guess. He must have bought it at least 30 years ago, so I chose it as my reading for this week. And it turned out to be a very interesting book — even though I’m…

  • Manifest: 7 Steps to Living Your Best Life

    Manifest: 7 Steps to Living Your Best Life

    I’ve written a few posts about manifestation based on a book I recently read on the topic. The title itself is very appealing: “Manifest: 7 Steps to Living Your Best Life” by Roxie Nafousi. It provides a practical guide to understanding and practicing manifestation through Roxie’s 7-Step Guide to Manifesting: Be clear in your vision…
