Quote of the Week: Sails

By admin

I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination. -Jimmy Dean


sail
This year has been a very interesting one for me. While waiting for a few projects to see the light of day, I’ve been using this year as a sabbatical for myself to learn and breathe new kinds of thinking into lil ol’ me. I’ve taken a few writing courses to grow creatively and I’ve found it somewhat therapeutic to say the least.
Everytime I get bogged down about stuff that happens in my life, I still hear B’s voice telling me, “Lala, don’t forget to enjoy the journey.” I’m usually a planner and a bit of a control freak. I plan, plan, and plan.  But in the last couple of months, I haven’t done squat. I just do my day-to-day and let whatever happen, happen. As they say, (whoever they is) its about being present and in the moment.
In one of my classes, it includes a performance and one which will require me to muster up some courage to deliver my set. I’m actually very nervous and shitting my pants at the thought of it. But that’s ok. If I’m gonna do something, its better sooner than later.
You can’t plan for the big waves, tsunamis or other unforseen circumstances. But you can change your sails and move them in a direction that will help you steer clear of trouble. 🙂

    📣 New Workshop Announcement📣 As someone who 📣 New Workshop Announcement📣

As someone who still derives a lot of happiness externally, the journey of going inward helps me synthesise my thoughts, feelings and emotions. I’ve been working non-stop over the past couple of months and in my quiet moments I start to creep into a dark space. Knowing that I have the tools has kept me afloat and I know there are many others who are also in my shoes. 

If you’re feeling stuck or need to feel grounded in a practice, please join me for latest workshop where we get to journey inward and find some answers we are searching for. Always safe, always welcome, we are better together. 

🗓️: Wed, 12 Jul 8-10pm
📍: @wondrouscurations studio
🎟️: RM129 

Limited spots available, both men and women welcomed.

I haven’t had bangs since I was a kid and it’s always fun to see what their plans are each day. My blonde is starting to show, will need to pop by for a colour touch up again at @shawncutlergroup!

    I co-hosted a special workshop for #breathwork and I co-hosted a special workshop for #breathwork and #soundhealing with @hansenlee at @ommosapiens. 

While I’m going through my ebbs and flows of life, I’m incredibly grateful to connect with so many people and playing a part in their journey of self-discovery and healing. It always reminds me of what I need to work on as I sit through this experience.

Thank you everyone for coming. 🙏🏻
