Life is What We Make it...
Doha Qatar , circa 2012 |
my family. |
With a grateful heart I am so blessed with good people around me...Members of the family willing to back me up supporting every move I make. Friends from way back cheering me up and making sure that I am okay and moved on. New found business partners in my industry that promises exciting and meaningful collaborations to help more people ...most of all having been blessed with 2 great kids (River and Hailey) that always put a smile in my lips...
time with the kids :) |

My take on the much talked about Midlife Crisis Issues....
Depression at 38 vs. Inner Peace at 40 |
Now fast forward a little....the familiar feeling is COMING BACK.... Not really sure if I'm having the same old Midlife Crisis moments but there are definitely some transitions taking place...at 40's... priorities have changed...now the need to be more personal came in..taking care of my health and the people around me suddenly became much more important...the idea of Quality vs. Quantity on friendship became very obvious...feeling good about myself and knowing that I deserve better is my daily mantra...the question of my Life's purpose kicked in...suddenly I was focusing on my bucket lists, simple life, togetherness,captured memories.. lots and lots of family pictures....If this is midlife crisis, my only hope is that it will be more of a positive thing for me. I am proud of how I've handled my first 40 years (learned a lot ) and I'm just hoping that the next 40 will be a blast. Changes is bound to happen in ones' life but at the end of the day I think everything will still depend on the choices that we make.I believe in the Law of attraction...I somehow believe that the universe will only echo back what I shout out.. and for now I choose to be HAPPY...after what I've been thru..I can be depressed... (but I'm fighting it with all my might)..I'm trying to practice a bit more of gratitude in everything, because it's when we're grateful even at the smallest blessings or the littlest victories..I feel we become more happy..
MIDLIFE CRISIS once ruined my life... I am not going to let it happen again... Because now..
I am-in-charge :) Carpe Diem !!!!
If you want to be happy...then Be :) |

My thoughts before I turn 40 :)
In a few days... I will turn 40... for others they just ignore it...it's just a number anyway... but for me it's a milestone moment...You see..when I was a kid I remembered my mom turned 40...she was pretty... better than what she looks-like in her younger years...I said to myself when I reach that age... I want to be like my mom..to age gracefully...to look good and feel good as well... I'm embracing this part of my life...Because in some weird way Life teaches us stuffs that makes us more stronger.. more beautiful... more empowered... as we grow a lil' older... We experience the lowest point of our lives thinking it will be very difficult to bounce back..but along the road you find your own way... a new path.. a promise of a new beginning...It somehow assures you that life will still go on...you just have to stand up again..and move on.... Now as I turn 40... I want to feel good... nope...FABULOUS!!! I want to tell the world that things that doesn't kill you just really makes you so damn STRONGER!!! I want to be surrounded with people who gives good vibes :) I love God for giving me this life...I love my kids ...they always make me happy & proud.. I love my family & my dear friends... they continuously guide and support me along the way....and most of all I love YOU:) You made me live again...Just when everything is falling into pieces... you pick me up... you gave me unconditional love and made me your own...thank you..and here's hoping for a longer and happier life with you...You make me feel BRAND NEW :)
