Shhh…… Quiet!

“True silence is the rest of the mind and is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.” – William Penn

The Peaceful Silence

Sometimes, I wake up and it’s quiet. So still and silent. (Not totally though, that would be unnatural, unnerving, probably indicating something is very wrong.) I mean the kind of silence where the only sound you hear is at the periphery of your mind—distant noises that blend into the stillness, gently giving it a natural tranquility.

Silence in the morning, when you’re privileged enough to wake up to the distant sounds of birds, a slight rustle of leaves in the soft, gentle wind. Silence, when the bombardment of daily noises is missing. Noise pollution, which we’ve all become so accustomed to, is momentarily stilled.

The Calm Within

The quiet of the world allows us to reflect, make peace within ourselves, and sort out the clutter in our minds and hearts. But when that quiet is shattered, and we’re bombarded with loud, unnatural sounds, it feels as though our spirits grow weary. The noise invades our senses, leaving little room for coherent thought or peace. That’s when we yearn for more natural sounds—the chirping of birds, the distant laughter of children, the soft breeze, or the gentle waves nudging the shore.

Silence That Signals Danger

There’s another kind of silence—the kind that signals danger. It’s the eerie calm before the storm. I remember living in the Caribbean, where I experienced my first hurricane. The preparation, the frantic stocking of supplies, and the hammering of shutters on windows.

Hurricanes come in three parts: the initial onslaught, the eye, and the final part, which often comes with more fury. The eye of the hurricane was the most unsettling. After the winds and rain came an unnerving silence. No sounds, not even from the animals. It was so unnaturally still, I felt suffocated by it. The air was thick with apprehension. Then, just as quickly as it arrived, the storm returned with more anger and destruction.

Nature’s Power and Our Vulnerability

Experiences like this make you realize just how small we are compared to the power of nature. To witness nature reclaiming everything without compassion is humbling. But surviving it brings immense gratitude.

When I think back to that silence, a silence I never wish to experience again, I appreciate all the other types of quiet—those that bring peace and calm in our chaotic world. The silence in our hearts when all is well, when I feel content, at peace, and walk with a spring in my step, grateful for the gentle side of nature.

 

Like a Moth to a Flame! Mysteries of Attraction and Connection

“Attraction is beyond our will or ideas sometimes.” — Juliette Binoche

What is the Attraction?

What is the attraction? Is a person is attractive and hence they attract, and then the object of that a attraction is attracted back? Or is it that a person goes innocently along and bumps into someone, and BOOM! Attraction! Or is it a combination of both things?

The First Encounter

When two people first lay eyes on each other, what happens? Do their souls reach out and touch?   Is it the eyes that simultaneously see and mutually like, propelling them towards each other? What about scents and pheromones, that mix in the wind and begin a dance or romance between two? What do they have to do with attraction?

Feeling Like Old Friends

How do two people meet for the first time, and feel they have known each other for a lifetime?  The coincidences that couples realize as they begin to know each others likes and dislikes in sync. Beginning a dance of life as though they were always lifelong partners, yet the relationship is new?

How do hearts, minds, and souls of strangers intermingle as though they are continuing a romance of time past? How do couples sing perfect duets without hesitation or doubt as though they’ve practiced, and have only just met?

The Universal Pull

The world shows many signs of attraction; gravitational pull—a law of the universe we accept as fact. The way a flower leans out and up towards the gentle warming rays of the sun.  How we are pulled towards a colour or sound or image with no real explanation why we are thus drawn.

The way a moth is drawn to a flame, the closer it gets, the more detrimental the effects. Singed wings and sometimes even death. There is a force that pulls us in a certain direction, even when that direction may prove hazardous to us.

Unreciprocated Attraction

How do we reconcile attraction that makes us feel so strongly about a person.  Even one who does not reciprocate our feelings.  Worse still, they once did but dpn’t anymore?  What makes a woman attractive to one or several men, yet to another man, she is not appealing or attractive?

In my own experience, I have had men attracted to me whom I felt nothing for.  I have also been attracted to men, to whom I could have been a lump on a log.

The Fizzling Flame

How is it two people have an attraction for each other, mutual, volatile, and exciting!  Within no time, the flames have waned completely, and the cinders left could not fuel a new fire . What happens then? Maybe this attraction is of the body and not the mind? Lust?  Once that attraction is sated, there is nothing left to hold on to.  In this case, attraction is a means to an end, once the “end” is accomplished, the means (attraction) no longer exists. 

Embracing Attraction

I am probably overthinking this whole thing.   Attraction should be enjoyed or lamented as needed without a whole lot of dissection. I love to be attracted; it makes me feel vibrant and alive!  When it is not reciprocated or the intentions are not the same, it can leave me feeling wretched, like a moth singed by the flames!

I think that we are attractive and attracted beings. We should live life embracing attraction, if it comes our way, till we find a kindred spirit. One who resonates with our souls. Then we hold on and dance until the music stops. If it ends or changes, as attraction inevitably does, we reflect.  We cherish the memories it brought, appreciate the lessons learned, and find gratitude in the opportunity given us.

We sort out our memories and archive them into what to repeat, and what to avoid the next time.   As the Earth rotates on its axis and there is gravitational pull, attraction will always be a part of our lives. It will always return to us, giving us another chance.

The question is: Are we ready and willing for attraction, when it comes back around? Are we ready to embrace it, own it? Always moving towards it like a moth to a flame? Even when it singes our wings. I know I am! Be brave and embrace attraction; it is a part of who we are and what makes life worth living!

Liquid Diet Chronicles: My Journey Toward a Healthier Lifestyle

A month into my diet—liquids all the way—minus the four days for the wedding where I indulged in solid food, I feel good. Every day, I’m satisfied. Not once have I gone to bed hungry or woken up ravenous. I’ve been eating enough to sustain me.

The Struggle: Balancing Hunger and Fulfilment

Has it been a struggle? Yes, but not in the way you might think. I didn’t starve myself—because that’s not the point of this diet. Looking back, I took care to eat until I was full. I’d fill a regular portion into a bowl and focus on my stomach. The moment I felt satisfied, I’d put my spoon down and stop eating.

Sometimes, one bowl was enough. Other times, I needed a little more. I did notice that when I started, I’d eat close to two bowls of soup. But as the month went on, I could only manage one. It seemed like my stomach was shrinking, unable to hold as much food as before. That’s a good sign, right? Shrinking stomach equals weight loss…or at least, I hoped so!

Starch-Free and Sugar-Free, Without Sacrifice

As I reflect on this first month, one thing stands out: I didn’t eat any pure starch or added sugar for the entire month, and I didn’t miss it. I didn’t start this diet to eliminate starch or restrict any particular food group—restriction wasn’t the focus of my diet.

Instead, my diet focused on inclusion—ensuring I ate foods I liked within the parameters I set for myself. That way, I looked forward to every meal. I stayed positive and was deliberate about what and when I ate.

Carbs vs. Starch: Understanding the Difference

Realizing that not eating starch or added sugar wasn’t that difficult gave me the incentive to continue avoiding them into the next month. I also learned the difference between starches and carbohydrates. The body needs carbs, not necessarily starch. Starch just happens to be the quickest source of carbs.

You can get all the carbs you need from fruits and vegetables—and that’s exactly what I was doing in my smoothies and soups. The bonus? Those carbs in my smoothie came with additional fibre and nutrients essential for a healthy body.

The Fear of Relapse: Avoiding Old Habits

But amidst all these discoveries, I couldn’t shake the fear of going back to my old habits. I was terrified of eating regular food again, scared that I’d gain all the weight back. I’d seen it happen to family and friends, and I’ve been guilty of it myself—starting strong only to give up before seeing results or losing weight only to gain it back twofold.

Not this time. This time, I was determined. I was going to get to a size 14—even if it killed me! Well, not quite; remember, I love myself!

The 21/90 Rule: Building Lasting Habits

After successfully completing one month, hitting every goal I set, it began to feel like my new normal. I was coasting.

So, I focused on the 21/90 rule: do something consistently for 21 days, and it becomes a habit. Continue for 90 days, and it becomes a lifestyle.

In my case, I tweaked it to suit me and my new “lifestyle”—4/14/21/90. The first 4 days are the hardest. If you can get past those, it gets slightly easier. Then, I went to 14 days (the initial period chosen by my nutritionist for the liquid diet – the one she says I went rogue on).    At 21 days, you’re building a habit. By the time you hit 90 days, you’re living a new lifestyle. It’s a powerful way to frame  major change, and it made a huge difference in my mindset.

Conclusion: Success is Determined by Willpower

How true is all this? Well, it depends on you—your discipline, your willpower, and your willingness to forego comfort for your goals. In the end, success on this diet is all about your personal determination.

The Need for Change: Finding Your Sanctuary

I was speaking to a staff member where I work, who was tentatively requesting a transfer from one of our properties to another. He was cautious because he didn’t want his request to seem like a negative reflection on his current location. He simply felt he needed a change. “A change is as good as a rest.” How often do you hear that these days?

Escaping the Information Overload

The world is busier than ever. We’re constantly bombarded with more to deal with, think about, and do. Or do we bombard ourselves? The flow of information today is astounding—social media, Facebook, Twitter, and more traditional media like radio and television. Many of us can’t seem to survive a moment without it; it’s everywhere—in our phones, tablets, and computers. This endless stream of information can sometimes lead to overload.

Embracing Blissful Memories

I’m fortunate in my line of work to find myself in places where there’s no network, making the internet and phone service unreliable. There are no TVs or radios either. It’s a rare and refreshing break from constant bombardment. The effort required to get a phone signal—often involving balancing on a tree branch—rarely seems worth it. These moments of disconnection allow my soul to rest.

We all need a “little piece of heaven”—a place to take a break and make a change, even if only for a short while. This place doesn’t have to be physical; it can be a mental escape. Pick a blissful memory, one that makes you feel warm inside and smile like a Cheshire cat. Immerse yourself in that memory and enjoy it. When you return to the everyday world, you’ll find yourself feeling better.

Recognizing Everyday Joy

Look around and take stock of the good in your life. There’s a lot of happiness and light around us, but we might be too busy to notice or have forgotten to recognize it. Make an effort to find and appreciate these moments. You’ll discover that joy has been available all along, even in times of stress.

Simplifying Your Life for Peace

Finally, be mindful of how much of the outside world you absorb and its impact on your psyche. The saying “ignorance is bliss” has some truth here. Simplify your life by focusing on the essentials and avoiding information overload. Embrace the beauty around you and enjoy the peace it offers.

Day 1 of My Journey

My Weight Loss Journey Begins. Then and now!

A year ago, I stood at a crossroads. Weighing over 100 kilograms, I knew something had to change. It wasn’t just about the numbers on the scale—it was about reclaiming control over my health and well-being. This is the story of how my journey began, a journey that has transformed not just my body, but my entire approach to life. Welcome to Day 1.

Facing Reality: The Start of My Transformation

Looking back at old photos, it’s almost surreal to see how far I’ve come. Those images are a stark reminder of the long, often challenging road I’ve travelled. But they also serve as proof that change is possible, and that it starts with a single, determined step.

My journey kicked off with a strict, two-week liquid diet—more accurately, a detox. Designed by my nutritionist, this plan was meant to give my body a fresh start and provide my stomach with a much-needed break. I was both nervous and excited, knowing that this was my chance to reset.

Going Rogue: Making the Plan My Own

Those first two weeks were transformative. I felt lighter, more energetic, and more in tune with my body. Encouraged by these changes, I decided to extend the diet to a month. As the days turned into weeks, I found myself thriving on this regimen, and I continued it for two full months. Even now, a year later, this liquid diet remains my go-to whenever I need a detox or when my stomach needs a reset.

But let me be honest—I didn’t follow the plan to the letter. My nutritionist will tell you that I went rogue, and she’s right. I made adjustments that worked for me, turning the original plan into something uniquely my own. This was the first step in taking true ownership of my weight loss journey, and I believe it’s a critical lesson for anyone looking to make lasting changes.

A Healthy, Sustainable Approach to Weight Loss

My goal was simple: lose weight quickly but do it safely and sustainably. I wasn’t interested in extreme measures like starvation, dangerous medications, or surgery. My health is too precious, and life is too short to take unnecessary risks.

The Liquid Diet: Nourishment in Every Sip

The liquid diet I adopted wasn’t just about drinking juice or water all day. I made sure it included all the essential nutrients my body needed. My daily routine consisted of a smoothie for breakfast, a hearty bowl of soup for lunch, and another for dinner. Throughout the day, I kept myself hydrated with coffee, ginger lemon tea, lemon water, and coconut water—locally known as madafu.

This wasn’t a deprivation diet. My soups were rich in protein from meat, fish, or seafood, and packed with vegetables and spices. I made everything from scratch, ensuring that every ingredient was fresh and wholesome. This gave me complete control over what I was putting into my body, which I believe was key to my success.

Overcoming Challenges: The Power of Discipline

The first few days were the toughest. My body was used to solid foods, and the sudden shift to liquids was a shock. I drastically reduced my calorie intake, and both my body and mind had to adjust. But I pushed through, knowing that this initial discomfort was temporary. To help myself stay on track, I avoided social dining during that first month. It was a challenge, but it allowed me to build the discipline and resolve I needed to succeed.

Conclusion: The Importance of Taking the First Step

And that’s how my journey began—on Day 1, with a simple but powerful decision to take control of my health. Over the past year, I’ve learned so much, not just about weight loss, but about myself. The most important lesson? It all starts with that first step.

If you’re beginning your own journey, remember that it’s okay to make adjustments, to find what works best for you. This is your journey, and it’s yours to own. And while the path may be challenging, you don’t have to walk it alone. We can support each other, share our experiences, and make lasting, positive changes together.

A Journey Alone: Finding Solace in Solitude

If you conquer yourself, then you will conquer the world. Paulo Coelho, Aleph

Embracing Solitude

We are born alone, we die alone, and throughout our lives, we will often find ourselves alone. One of life’s great joys is to be alone without feeling lonely. When we’re alone, we have the chance to commune with our souls, to quietly open up and unravel what’s inside.

From Loneliness to Self-Acceptance

I often find myself alone due to the nature of my work, which requires a lot of solitary time. At first, I struggled with loneliness. I’d be in a beautiful tented camp with stunning surroundings and luxuries, yet I felt so isolated that I couldn’t enjoy the beauty around me. I would see a perfect dawn or an astounding sunset and feel sadness that no one was there to share it with me. Even while enjoying a wonderful meal, I couldn’t fully appreciate it without someone to share the experience with. To escape the feeling of loneliness, I would fill my time with work, movies, or trivial tasks, anything to keep my mind busy and distracted.

Understanding Loneliness

It took me a while to realize that loneliness is a state of mind. It’s not about where you are or who you’re with; it’s about how you perceive your situation. I’ve found myself in crowded places feeling lonelier than if I were alone in my room. Sometimes, this was due to my own choice to shut people out and isolate myself.

Finding Companionship in Solitude

Conversely, I’ve been completely alone and felt like I had the whole world as my companion. I’ve sat at dawn, watching the daybreak, observing little birds gathering twigs for their nests, ants foraging for food, and trees rustling gently in the wind. In these moments, I became part of the natural world around me, and the solitude felt comforting rather than lonely.

The Inner Pilgrimage

Now, when I am alone, I sometimes embark on an inner journey. Instead of just observing the world around me, I take a pilgrimage into myself. This practice of self-reflection has become a fulfilling way to handle solitude without feeling lonely.

Reflecting on Pilgrimage

Living by the coast, surrounded by a community that frequently discusses pilgrimage to Mecca, I’ve often thought about the concept of pilgrimage. People embark on this journey in search of spiritual enlightenment. Although I respect their reasons and cannot fully understand their experiences, I focus on the individual pilgrimage—the journey within oneself.

We can try to escape everything around us, and even run from ourselves for a time, but eventually, we confront ourselves. Instead of running, I recommend taking time to journey inward, confronting who we are and who we might become. We should reflect on our triumphs and accomplishments, remember the joy and laughter, and celebrate ourselves and the sources of our happiness. We must also acknowledge our failures and losses, allowing ourselves to feel and process our pain, and then forgive ourselves. Recognizing both our weaknesses and strengths is crucial.

Completing the Inner Journey

At the end of this inner pilgrimage, we might feel a mix of gratitude, satisfaction, exhaustion, and even euphoria. We will have completed our journey and can move forward, ready for whatever life has in store. Regularly taking this inner pilgrimage can help us become more content, as we accept ourselves and, consequently, make it easier for others to accept us. This practice helps us conquer ourselves and allows us to be alone without feeling lonely.

Life’s Lessons from Parrot Fish and Pirahnas?

Featured

“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

Introduction: The Journey of Life and Lessons

Life is a series of lessons—a journey of experiences, as a wise friend once said. They didn’t label these experiences as good or bad; they simply called them what they are: moments to learn from. The way we handle these situations, both in real-time and in hindsight, shapes us.

A forward-thinking person sees each encounter as an opportunity to learn something valuable for the future. When faced with a similar challenge, they can dip into their past experiences to either sidestep familiar pitfalls or embrace a positive opportunity with confidence.

But how often do we truly reflect on these experiences?  It’s easy to breeze past life’s events without pausing to consider what we’ve learned. Yet, it’s in the quiet moments of reflection where growth happens—where we can separate what we know to just reacting so something unknown.

Identifying Different “Fish”: The Power of Perspective

“Looks like a fish, acts like a fish—it’s a fish!” Seems straightforward, right? Well, not quite.

This type of thinking oversimplifies things, missing the nuances.  Let’s break it down: A Parrotfish and a Goldfish are indeed fish.  But so are a Piranha and a Pufferfish.  The implications of encountering each one, however, are wildly different.  A Parrotfish is vibrant and harmless, a creature to admire, while a Piranha… let’s just say that’s a fish you’d want to steer clear of—fast!  Both are fish, but the experience of meeting one versus the other couldn’t be more distinct.

I believe that the same principle applies in life. We often meet people or face situations that, on the surface, seem similar.  But dig a little deeper, and you’ll notice the differences that matter.  Not every friendly smile means well, and not every obstacle is there to hinder you. Recognizing these subtleties can be the difference between thriving and merely surviving.

Shouldn’t we, then, be more mindful of the types of “fish” we encounter in life? It’s important to recognize their unique traits rather than lumping them into the same category. Let’s stop assuming that if something swims like a fish and looks like a fish, it’s just a fish. Each type of fish deserves its own recognition for what it truly is.

One of life’s biggest challenges is resisting the urge to generalize. It’s easy to categorize people, situations, or even opportunities based on superficial traits or past experiences. However, true wisdom lies in the ability to see things for what they really are, not what they seem to be at first glance.

Applying the Lessons: Distinguishing and Adapting

Reflecting on my personal journey, I’ve managed to distinguish a “fish” from, say, an “elephant”—or even closer, between a “fish” and a “lobster.” Still, I’ve fallen into the trap of generalization from time to time.  Yes, I’ve mistaken a Piranha for a Parrotfish before. Fortunately, I escaped those encounters  with minimal scars, and I believe, in retrospect, I emerged  a little wiser each time.

Learning to identify the Piranhas in life—those people or situations that may cause harm—is crucial. But so is recognizing the Parrotfish, those positive opportunities might be overlooked if we’re too focused on avoiding danger. It’s all about balance, keen observation.

So, what’s the lesson here?

  • Never underestimate anything or anyone: Life has a way of surprising us, and even the smallest interactions can carry weight.
  • Avoid sweeping generalizations: Each experience, person, or opportunity is unique and deserves careful consideration.
  • Draw on your past experiences: Your memory bank is a treasure trove of valuable insights that can guide your future decisions.
  • Stay adaptable in a constantly evolving world: Life is dynamic. The ability to learn and unlearn is key to thriving.

Conclusion: Living Life with Passion and Awareness

Life is short, and we should live it with passion and enthusiasm. But let’s also approach it with caution and respect for others, always eager to bank new experiences for future encounters with Parrotfish—or Piranhas.

It’s the accumulation of these experiences that helps us navigate the complexities of life with grace, resilience, and wisdom. Whether you’re faced with a harmless fish or a lurking predator, remember that every encounter teaches you something—if you’re willing to listen.

Kismet: Reinforcing my Path to Social Media

“When you are following your true destiny, then the universe will conspire to help you…” – Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

The Inception of My Blogging Journey

I have been thinking about beginning a blog for several years now. I felt that I had something to share and thought that I was ready and brave enough to put it out to the world and have the world react. I spent time talking about it and thinking about it. I downloaded information and software; Copyblogger became my companion, sending me emails every day to help improve my blog. I was not going to begin this without adequate research and knowledge of how to do it properly. And as you know, research takes a lot of time and diligence.

I opened a file in my Outlook and each day I filed away what Copyblogger had sent me, keeping it all until I would have the time to sift through it all and make sense of it, learn, and begin my blog. Of course, I never did open that folder, but I did not terminate the service from Copyblogger because it would mean that I was defeated and was abandoning my blog idea.

The Paralysis of Fear and Procrastination

What do we call this? Fear, procrastination, and whatever label we give it, can be crippling. It is even more dangerous than outrightly saying that something has defeated us, and we are giving up. Why? Well, if we give up and articulate that, it at least gives us a chance to look around at something else we could do, start again in a new direction. But if we hold on to the original idea, paralyzed into inaction because of our fears, yet unwilling to articulate and come to terms with that fear, then we end up frozen, not moving forwards or backwards, just frozen in time. That is more dangerous and debilitating!

Embracing Social Media

I have had a secret fascination for social media for a while. However, I relegated it to the “youth,” a dot com thing, not for us older, more traditional people. We cannot get involved in this stuff, lest we look like teenagers. People will start wondering if we are going through a midlife crisis. Let the kids run around tweeting and Facebooking and wasting time because they would rather not live in present reality and have real human interactions; machines and virtual reality are more interesting to them. Besides, in my line of work, what has social media got to do with it?

One day, a man came up to me at my place of work and told me that he had started a Facebook page for my hotel. He said that he would get it up and running, and then he would hand it to me to administrate. Okay, fine, how hard would that be? Needless to say, when he finally gave it to me to administrate, it was so busy I had to relinquish responsibility to my company’s marketing department to manage it.

The Power of Social Media

People reacted so positively to this Facebook page. They shared information, pictures, and tips on local knowledge, giving other guests pertinent information that a new visitor to a destination would find comforting. It came from another guest’s perspective, not a marketing gimmick—real guests, real experiences. Further, they shared opinions about the facility, services, food, etc. The only difference between this and TripAdvisor is that the people on this Facebook page were fans of the hotel; they loved the place and marketed it for free with a zeal that ten marketing teams could not accomplish. People out there, especially those who had never been to the hotel, used this as a conduit for information. I was amazed and overwhelmed! Social media: how everyone embraced it and relied on it as a source of information and sharing of experiences.

My Transformation

Luckily, my company was more enlightened than I was on social media and its benefits; they embraced it fully. Currently, they have a Facebook page for every one of the properties, each as successful as the next. Guests have found a forum to share information and share their travels and great experiences. Social media marketing at its best!

A New Beginning

So, I am now convinced, and with my very recent encounter with inspiration in Kipungani, where I came face to face with my destiny, I embark on this journey and hope you will come along with me. Enjoy it with me, cry with me, and be still with me, as the mood requires. Life is ever-changing, and we must embrace that change to move forward. This is my journey. Please join me, share with me, teach me. Let us begin a dance, a romance, one so profound that we will be forever changed by knowing each other!
