Bali Retreat....






So glad I went along with Annie and Kodi to the Yoga retreat holiday in Taman Ahimsa in Seminyak, Bali. This was my first time in Bali, and such a lazy and relaxing time really did me a lot of good (well, beside being woken up by Cock crowing and dogs barking before 6am).

Felt like I was having a holiday with a big family in a big house, taken care by a group of friendly and caring professionals. One dining room with a huge antique wood table so everyone sits together at every meal time, next to the kitchen; always served plenty of fruits and juices and also home made cookies for snacks during tea time; lots of lounging on comfy day beds, enjoying the sea breeze in a tranquil setting with lovely gardens. Blissed out.....
I managed to think a bit too, I am glad I have come to a point of acceptance of myself. Really, life is too short to attribute blame, just have to deal with things and look forward. Also, have realized the one single significant problem that needs to be worked on -- "Control".
I am still not there yet, and a lot of areas in my personal life that I fumbled through or even tumbled over, has to do with the lack of "Control". I know I am improving now, and will consciously work on it.

Meanwhile, I can't wait to plan another relaxing holiday to Ubud, perhaps next year...Ching E is already suggesting a villa that she fancies.....

Purpose, and positive changes..

Dear blog, sorry I have not taken the time to write, nor to change the template to a more decent, respectable one (promise will do that soon..).

Have been busy reviewing, bidding adieu to old stuff, and to envision a new way of life... a new road. I remember and feel so strongly with that quote from the movie "Eat Pray Love" :
"Ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation."
Well, sometimes we have to hit bottom, and reach total destruction before full re-construction can happen.. and to look at it in a good way, with ruins, the only way to go is up. Strengthening my mind, and consciously making positive changes here....I have been a master at ruins so far, time to construct the new road now...

Purpose... will have to spend more time thinking about that...
