Dream of Making It Big

I have always been ambitious. I believe that there is nothing wrong about dreaming big. When my professor asked us to write an essay about our biggest dream in life, I had an easy time since I already thought about these things.I want to pursue a career in New York – I want to lease a New York City office space and start from there. I am also wishing to meet many people  who can basically help me start a life in NYYC. Meeting a New Yorker guy is also in my plan. I know that men in New York are ambitious too so it would be nice to meet a doctor or probably a lawyer to be my future husband. Well, I have always dreamed of making it big in New York. I know one day that this dream will become reality. For now, I will work hard and study hard so I can earn for my future.

I'll Take The Fall

My favorite season has to be Autumn. Though I love the mild days of Spring, the cool nights and warm days of Fall give me energy. The changing of the leaves from green to deep shades of red, gold, and yellow brings a glow to the atmosphere. As the leaves fall I find the task of raking them to be sheer pleasure, even when my big oak trees create bag after bag of yard waste. And when the piles of leaves grow to monstrous heights, my grand children love nothing more than jumping into them before I have the chance to bag them for the trash gatherers. When I walk in the woods, the crunching of the leaves under foot reminds me of the autumns of my childhood when blackbirds cawed from high trees and the smoke from fireplaces gave witness to the deepening cold.

Visit From My Grandma

I am super happy today because my grandma arrived home. She was hoping to arrive earlier for the New Year celebration but she said she was caught up in New York since my Uncle Dan has to find office space NYC first before they can go on a vacation. Now that everything is settled, we are more than glad to have my uncle, cousins and of course Grandma home.I am a so close to my Grandma while growing up so I truly miss her especially that her last visit was from 2 years ago already. She bought us so many gifts and she has so many stories to tell. We all love everything!  I am just glad that my Grandma is here for my birthday next week.

Meditation

What are your forms of meditation? There are many forms of meditation practiced by individuals worldwide, though the fundamental principle is one of reflection and deliberation, bringing about a state of rumination. Several forms of meditation acknowledged worldwide include transcendental meditation, vipassana meditation, Zen meditation, Taoist meditation, mindfulness meditation, and Buddhist meditation. Several of these may possibly call for the body being completely still or having the ability to be moved with controlled deliberation whereas various other forms of meditation will allow liberated movement of the body. Regardless of the dissimilar methods practiced, the sole reason of meditation is of course to teach our busy mind to become quiet, releasing our psyche from stress and anxiety drawing upon some calm reflection and contemplation. You may not be familiar with meditation and might still be wondering, “What is meditation?” To explain it very briefly and simply, meditation practiced by those living in this busy and increasingly fast pace of life is an approach that anybody can use with the intention of helping them cope with any health problems, dealing with stress, trauma and constant worry by means of deliberation, consideration, and contemplation.

Never Look Back

When I was a junior in high school I had a math teacher that I really looked up to. He was always there when you needed someone to talk to, sometimes he would just listen and sometimes he would give advice. The one particular day I was really upset because a grade I had received in math class was not at all good. I had rarely studied and was cocky I would ace it, I remember talking to him and his advice to me was this always do the best you can and no matter the outcome never look back and second guess yourself. So I am now 47 and a lot of things have happened in my life but when things don’t turn out very good I try not to look back.

Better Office, Better Business Deals

Since I ventured into business of custom-made business suits for ladies, it did not cross my mind that I would need a much larger space for my employees who takes care of the paper works. Not until when a big company came in and asked where we can talk because he has some large-scale propositions for me. Mind you – it was really not the sort that I encounter at my shop. It's something that is really needed to be done in an office space, something that speaks of elegance, comfort and style without actually displaying my custom-made suits. I did not miss the small flicker of disappointment on his face when I told him that we can meet at a coffee shop if he was not comfortable with the shop's surroundings. That's when I seriously decided to get that office space NYC my assistant was telling me months ago. Oh, and yes, I was able to close that large-scale deal.

My Favorite Pet

My favorite pet animal is Cat. I am very much like them because of their pleasant and lovable nature. If we are giving them food, they surely says thanks to us with their pleasant look and tail expressions. My cat always pays attention to me when I call her name, offer her food, or tell her to come in or go out the open door. That is actually a good representation.I have had cats since I was born. When I was young, one of my cats had a litter of kittens.I remember how sweet and cute they were ! I have named all my cats.

Expansion Dry-Run

My business was doing excellent but I still feel apprehensive about getting another branch for expansion. I want to feel secure that the business is going towards stability before deciding on such a major step when it comes to business decisions. My partner Dave was rambling about these virtual office NYC all day during our brain-storming afternoons. He was so excited he even told it again in his e-mail this morning! Not really into expanding, I was ready to dismiss the idea when I saw the word “virtual.” That's all I need for now to take my business expansion on a dry-run before deciding to get another physical branch – a better option, I say before major steps made.

My recent favorite movie is a Malayalam film "Elsamma Enna Aankutty". It is a 2010 Malayalam film directed by Lal Jose and written by M.Sindhuraj. Starring Kunchaakko Boban, Aan Augustine and Indrajith in the lead roles. The film was produced my M.Renjith and distributed by Lal creations. It is story is a village in the high ranges of Kerala called Balan Pillai City. Elsamma is the eldest among four daughters of K.P.A.C. Lalitha.
