Toxic Environment At Work
“Kick me, kike me; Don’t you black or white me; All I wanna say is that they don’t really care about us” — Michael Jackson Positive work culture? Or compensational pre-conditioning to support the intricate facade of pre-set heavily role-modelled organizational tones and behaviors? So much so that a company I once worked for blindly modelled a healthy growing business ideology of self to the very end. The end in this case was defined as involuntary administration with millions of dollars of investor money wiped out.

TAG! Photo Game
If you’ve been following my Ekphrastic Two challenge, you may remember hints of a second challenge-thingy. During photo submissions for the former, I created a separate folder for a non-committal photo-prompt-thing, open to anyone. Only a handful of you added photos there, but I’ve added 5 more from the ekphrastic challenge. (Think we’re up to 21 at the time of publication.) Then later, I described the general premise of this challenge as being like a game, where creators can tag their writer friends to write for a particular photograph, thereby creating a chain.

Addicted to Nonets
I got addicted to nonets, people! They bring out so much creativity, and there is so much flexibility in those rigid rules. I know, a paradox in itself, but still cathartic. I never thought I would dream of writing them and then wake up in the morning, make my coffee, unbothered that my youngest woke up again at 8:00 on a Sunday (that's better than 5am, so I am grateful for it).

Conquering Fear and Social Anxiety: A Practical Guide
The Nature of Fear At its core, fear is a survival mechanism designed to protect us from harm.

Enhancing Observational Skills: A Guide
Shifting Focus: From Self to Others The initial step to becoming a better observer is a paradoxical one: turn your attention away from yourself. Instead of being preoccupied with self-image or social anxiety, consciously direct your focus towards the world around you. This shift in perspective is fundamental.

A reminder to me on my recent achievement
Life has its ways of teaching you important lessons. Everything that happens in our existence strides its convoluted intersectionality with a purpose, a purpose that in its divinity has an impactful metamorphosis in our reality. How little do we know about what is about to come when we so confoundingly announce that I know this is how my life would turn out to be. In its own magnanimous and unexpected ways, you would get to what you deserve rather than what you want in most anomalies that our choices create. Whether we get what we want or face a delay or rejection, every event is a rendered outcome of the myriad of choices we chose and how divine intervention in its beauty shielded us from the things that could have destroyed us.
