Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 15 degrees, cold, overcast, rainy and miserable. It is Wednesday, the middle of the week, and the day that sets off a series of events that could change everything. From morning until early afternoon, it was just normal, exercising, having an early conversation with Julie, working on a blog post, and giving classes until about 2:00 p.m. […]
Tuesday, the 21st of May 2024: “The Amazon Experience: A Modern Retail Revolution”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 15 degrees, cold, overcast, rainy and miserable. My first experiences with Amazon are truly quite amazing. Until this week, I had never used Amazon. The company entered Brazil relatively late; I used some other Brazilian online retailers but never Amazon. Friends in Brazil and Julie have raved about their efficiency, especially in delivery. Last weekend was a […]
Monday, the 20th of May 2024: “Toxic Stormy Waters”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 21 degrees, warmish, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Monday, the beginning of the week, and the storm is brewing, though not climactic. I am not sure exactly what kind of storm it is, but for sure, it is with my mother in the eye of it. My relationship with my mother has always been difficult and […]
Saturday, the 18th of May 2024: “A Delightful Day”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 22 degrees, warmish, sunny and slightly overcast. Saturday, thank goodness for Saturdays! A day when I can organise my thoughts, simply by having time for myself, without thinking about classes, blog posting, etc. It is so lovely to get up in the morning and not worry about the time or what needs to be done. Exercise early, […]
Friday, the 17th of May 2024: “Investment Landscapes”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 22 degrees, hot, sunny with blue skies. This Friday has been my crypto day. I have bought the most Bitcoin I have ever bought in a single day. Compared to those with a sizable amount of money or a substantial investment portfolio, it would seem like small change, but for me, it was quite a lot. Why […]
Wednesday, the 15th of May 2024: “Reflection of Struggles and Possible New Strategies”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 21 degrees, warmish, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Wednesday, the middle of the week, and a strange week. As I wrote yesterday, there are many loose ends and conflicting situations at the moment, and I don’t know what I want to do. I’m working, giving classes, and making money —not exactly what I ideally want, but […]
Tuesday, the 14th of May 2024: “Acting Rather Than Reacting”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 17 degrees, warmish, overcast and with showers. I tried to change the keyboard on my computer yesterday. It broke on Sunday, which was my fault, but it was already failing, and I only made it worse when I tried to clean it. I went to a computer repair shop in Brettel Lane to see if it could […]
Monday, the 13th of May 2024: “Good Health: A Challenge, Choice and Balance”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 27 degrees, very hot, sunny and with beautiful blue skies. It is Monday, a new week, and I feel relatively good for having a quiet weekend, which also included verbalising my feelings with Julie. Last Friday, the eve of the weekend, I went to the doctors. I wasn’t attended by a doctor but by a nurse who […]
Sunday, the 12th of May 2024: “Life’s Complexities”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 27 degrees, very hot, sunny and with beautiful blue skies. Sunday, almost my whole day off from everybody. Julie and I are not 100%. There are some issues which are normal in any relationship. Especially at the beginning, when you are both finding your way, and also when dating today is all so much more complicated and […]
Saturday, the 11th of May 2024: “Living with Uncertainty”!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 24 degrees, hot, sunny and with beautiful blue skies. It’s Saturday, the weekend, and I’m feeling exhausted about everything in my life. Things don’t seem 100% clear to me, and when they’re not, I follow my intuition. My situation and relationship with Julie are difficult for me. We both do not have our own places, which makes […]
