The Insightful Path

  Image Credit: www.regaloservicenotes.com   Sometime a few weeks ago, I had this idea of wanting to start something that would make a ripple effect and touch as many lives as possible (well, at least in our office, that is!) and I created what I call Circulation Cards.   It borrows the concept of "paying it forward" but in a more tangible form and in very simple ways.  I've always wanted to make a difference in people's lives and I realize, you don't even have to spend money or be grandiose with your ways - even a simple act of kindness could make a difference! With the help of the ever-reliable Canva online, I created 5 different cards that contained 5 different actions that would have to be performed by the initial recipient of the card, afterward, the card will then be given to the other person to perform and so on. To make it attractive and catchy and for it to last longer, we had it printed in color and laminated.  It'...

 Let's talk about the dreaded big C - Cancer! We've all at some point in our lives known people who've had cancer - some unfortunately we've lost as well - family, relatives, friends and even acquaintances and it never is an easy topic to talk about. It is by far the scariest type of illness right now because it can strike anyone, anywhere, anytime! And because it attacks the very basic component of the human body - the cells - there's virtually no way to avoid it. You could try and live a healthy lifestyle to avoid it or go all-out Angelina Jolie and remove certain organs to reduce your risk but if you're genetically-predisposed to have it, your risk is ever present. And organ removal, although a possible way to go about it, is costly and is not applicable to all types of cancers such as blood cancers or leukemia. I've lost a cousin due to Leukemia and now have a nephew who was just recently diagnosed with the ALL type - just a 3 y...

At this point in time when my only real quality time with my son is towards bedtime, away from the distractions of housework and television or the intenet, I really relish our pre-bedtime routine. It starts (and by start that would mean after a few minutes of running around to catch him or coercing him to finally want to go to bed) with a bubble bath and ends with both of us lying side by side and reading two or three stories, one of which is a story about bulldozers and heavy equipment - his personal favorite! I'd like to consider my son as especially gifted (but as parents, don't we all?) . His milestones, both physically and mentally were quite advanced - he learned to walk and talk and a lot of other things way earlier than most k...

NEWSFLASH! Have you seen the latest in portable bathroom tissue-dispensing technology?? If you haven’t, then all eyes here! Do you carry around tissue with you everyday and buy those small packets or just carry a roll in your bag but have to deal with how messy it can become after a while? Then, don’t fret because there is now a cool and handy solution to that in the form of Tisyu to Go!     I discovered this last month when I bought it from Gaisano Capital but have only used it first-hand today! It’s been sitting in my cabinet for a while as I still had wet tissue and now that I have officially used it, I'm definitely recommending it for everyone! This really nifty concoction is hygienic, easy to store/carry/dispense and a guaranteed conversation starter! (Trust me on this one!) The way it works is - the roll of tissue is held inside a plastic casing and you can pull them out without even breaking a sweat! Initially you do have to open the pla...
