I miss writing. Earlier this year, I made a promise to myself to take blogging seriously, to show up consistently, to pour out thoughts and stories like I always used to. And for a while, I did. But by mid-May, something shifted. I stopped. Not because something bad happened. Not because life got too chaotic.… Continue reading When the Words Stop Coming

Cultivate a Positive Attitude
If I’m being totally honest, there are days when staying positive feels impossible. Life hits hard, people disappoint you, and plans fall apart. And to think positivity meant ignoring reality or pretending everything was okay. But that’s not it at all. Once again, in today’s reading John Maxwell said, “A positive attitude won’t solve all… Continue reading Cultivate a Positive Attitude
Redefining Failure and Success
There was a time when I thought success was about trophies, titles, or public applause. And failure? That was falling short of those visible milestones. But life had other lessons in store for me. One day, after a project I had poured my heart into completely flopped, I felt crushed. But sitting in that moment,… Continue reading Redefining Failure and Success
Achievers Versus Average
Today as a continuation of my leadership series, I learned something intriguing and decided to share it with you. Stay with me, you might learn from it. See, I remember sitting in a meeting once, watching two team members react completely differently to the same challenge. One leaned in, asking questions, already brainstorming ways to… Continue reading Achievers Versus Average
We Are Responsible for Our Attitude
I used to believe that my attitude was shaped by my circumstances. If things were going well, I was in a good mood. If things weren’t? Well, you can guess how that went. Then one day, someone said something to me that completely shifted my perspective. “Your attitude isn’t what happens to you, it’s how… Continue reading We Are Responsible for Our Attitude
Goals Create a Route for Success
Well, here I was thinking success was about talent, luck, or just winging it and hoping for the best. But after years of trying to “figure it out,” I learned something simple yet powerful. Without a goal, success is just a dream. I remember a time when I felt completely stuck working hard but going… Continue reading Goals Create a Route for Success
The Power of Failure
I know this title may sound weird but stay with me alright… Listen, I used to be so utterly terrified of failure. Honestly, the idea or even the thought of messing up, falling short, or not meeting expectations… Felt like the worst thing that could happen to me. So, I played it safe for as… Continue reading The Power of Failure
The Position Myth
I used to believe that leadership was about titles. If I could just reach a certain position, then people would listen. Then I’d have influence. Then I’d matter. But I was wrong. Early in my life, I had a boss with the fanciest title but zero real leadership. No one truly respected him. No one… Continue reading The Position Myth
Ratchet Up Your Passion
There was a time I felt stuck going through the motions, checking off tasks, but feeling uninspired. I wasn’t burned out, just blah. Then I read John Maxwell’s reminder: Passion isn’t automatic you have to fuel it. I decided to make three changes. First, I reconnected with my “why.” Why did I start this journey?… Continue reading Ratchet Up Your Passion
Even I Can’t Do It Alone…
I know it’s been a hot minute since my last post two days off and suddenly it feels like two weeks. I’ve been knee-deep in cooking (and not just any cooking, but literal, heart-and-soul, food-for-my-customers cooking) and living out my culinary business dreams.💃💃💃 Amid all this culinary chaos, I managed to squeeze in some reading… Continue reading Even I Can’t Do It Alone…
