Beautiful Skies

By admin

The weather in Toronto has been absolutely amazing. Unlike the May showers, June is proving to be lots of sunshine and beautiful skies. On Wednesday, I decided to head to the Beaches after my rehearsal. Had a really nice stroll along Queen and plopped myself at one of the parks and just read.

I purchased a cheap bamboo mat and simply enjoyed listening to the sounds of summer. I can’t remember the last time I had enjoyed time like this, just reflecting, thinking and most of all relaxing. A lot of the uncertainty in my life and career still remains but taking a break from Asia is really what I needed.
I think its so easy to get caught up with work and more work but I admit I started feeling a sense of entitlement with everything I had worked so hard for. As grateful as I was for these opportunities, I wish I could appreciate the people around me more. During my time in Malaysia, I’ve been blessed with great producers who are always trying to get the best out of me and pushing me to perform at my optimum capacity. I know I left a great life/lifestyle to come to Canada to push for more but I’m happy that I’ve taken this break.
This break has made me realize how lucky I was to have such great opportunities and it has also helped me realize that I should stick to my gut feelings. I landed one of the main roles in an upcoming series, which I can guarantee will be a force to be reckon with, and have managed to book a few commercial jobs already out here. I’ve got a great agent who believes in me and will keep pushing for me until I get there. I’m onto my third acting course out here while I’m on the waitlist for my fourth. Everyday feels like a step closer to achieving success and I can’t wait to share my stories when i head back in September for my best friend’s wedding.
Will cross my fingers to see if I can squeeze a season for one of my shows and perhaps this break from Malaysia will be the best decision for my career after all! These beautiful skies are having an impact on my thought process and I’m going to keep pushing forward as best I can.
I’ve got a packed weekend of scene work and next week will be another busy week of meetings, classes and work. Ooooh I can feeling the energy in my bones that something good will come this way! šŸ˜‰
Have a great weekend guys!

Looks like the first 2 weeks of January has taken a turn for the worst in Malaysia. Our health system at it’s capacity. Greedy politicians trying to fight for power, so much so our King has been granted Emergency Powers until August. To be honest, all of this hasn’t quite hit me yet, I’ve had a slower start to the year but each step taken has been intentional, from the people I spend my time with to the people I want to work with. 

Life is still not a bed of roses but I don’t mind taking time to pluck the thorns out. I’m clearly still exploring parts of me that I’ve missed for awhile. I’ve had friends from my past telling me that the old Sarah is back again and I’m glad too! I’ve been having such lucid dreams and they’ve been giving me a clearer indication of what I need to work on. (Thank God for @therealashagill’s #DecodingDreams workshop) 

I’m trying to be more accepting of things I cannot change and learning from last year’s situation. If you can, help out a small business, everyone is trying to make a side hustle to make ends meet. We can always be kinder, more compassionate and more loving to those who have less than us. Everyone is fighting a battle that we cannot see. Don’t be so quick to judge.

    It’s 2021. We should be able to live in a world It’s 2021. We should be able to live in a world where empowered women are not measured by how much or how little clothes they wear. Stop hiding behind the narrative of ā€œprotecting womenā€, instead teach men to be respectful. 

I share a conversation with a woman who wanted to impose her archaic viewpoint on me about how she avoids men degrading her. 

Not only was she dangerously victim blaming ā€œbc I’m asking for itā€, she was also age-shaming (apparently bikinis have an age limit šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø) and telling me that my swimwear was not appropriate for the waterfall šŸ¤”. But the worst part was her condescending tone towards me because I was unmarried and childless. I think I’ve done a lot of work on myself to be able to withstand this dialogue but if this conversation happened last year, I would have felt defeated and maybe even gone into a dark place (at the helm of society’s judgment).

The truth is, so many women have different reasons or situations for their path in life. Sometimes it’s by choice and sometimes it’s by fate, but it’s extremely dangerous to weaponise your status to look down on another woman. Undoubtedly she was provoked, hence her ad hominem attack, but it doesn’t make it ok. In fact, that conversation showed me how much she derived her worth from men and I felt sorry for her.

I’ve spent the past 2 years building a community to uplift women and this conversation was the most disappointing interaction I’ve had in years. Women have enough shit to deal with, let alone spewed negativity from one another. 

Let’s go back to celebrating each other for being courageous in whatever journey we’re on. Clothed or not, our worth is not measured in what we wear but how we see ourselves. 

I love these illustrations by @lainey.molnar.

    I’m awake, happy and optimistic. Here’s to 2021 and the joy of being fully present. I’m excited to see what this next chapter is going to look like and the adventure that comes next. I’m looking forward to travel so that I can go home and be with my family. I’ve spent the past 6 months unravelling myself to get more connected to my hearts truth and the revelations have been profound. It really feels like a clean slate and these shifts have prepared me for what’s to come! Here’s to an awesome 2021 for all of us! ... See MoreSee Less
