A quiet mind is all you need

Starting 2025, still not retired. If you have been following me, you know that I have been trying to do that with the help of my numerous side hassles. I do feel it is an uphill battle most of the time. Trying to increase traffic, getting exposure, and capturing more visitors and subscribers. It seemsContinue reading “A quiet mind is all you need”

Side-Hassle Do and Don’ts

I don’t like long blog posts. So here we go. This year I have dropped; Small selling sites that just took my focus away i.e. Zazzle, Spoonflower, and the biggest of them all – Amazon. By dropping, I mean not creating new products and leaving it ‘as is.” And I have also dropped, and IContinue reading “Side-Hassle Do and Don’ts”

Find your purpose…

I hear this so often, yet until recently I would not give you a clear answer. Of course, I could always make something up. I could can say something to my parents and something different to my kids. I could blurt something out without thinking about it too much. Especially when I wanted to soundContinue reading “Find your purpose…”

Find your local role…

I am not saying everyone but definitely a large number of people. And I am one of them for sure. Staying at home uncovered lotsContinue reading “Self-care as a part of routine”

Going back to what I know…

Went home, talked to my grandma, met up with dear friends, looked at old photos, played old song…So this time I am going back to something I thought I have experienced and shelved. I even wrote a post about it and thought to myself: “DoneContinue reading “Going back to what I know…”

Making wrong choices and admitting to myself…

I have been sifting through a number of online courses. I do suffer from an shiny object syndrome  – and that does not help when I am choosing which way to go. Before I knew, I had to sign up for a ‘free course’ offered by my employer. So the choice for made for me!Continue reading “Making wrong choices and admitting to myself…”

Thinking about the next step…

There are lots of prediction how the world will look. It is clear to me that I will have to be more versatile and juggle lots of moving parts. I will have to learn few more things, too. From all of this I gather that the future is going to be about activity, flexibility andContinue reading “Thinking about the next step…”
