We see you

You know how you can have a long ‘to do’ list and instead of working on all the deadlines, you tick off everything else but the pending items? That is what I am doing right now (and perhaps you are too, dear reader?) I was recently thinking about the past two years and how the …

Say Yes!

Earlier this year, I got an opportunity which was really out of my comfort zone. From the moment discussions began, everything in me wanted to say No. It was the safe answer. The easy choice. I eventually convinced myself to give it a shot, so that I wouldn't beat myself up for not trying, at …
