Where do I begin?

I am on this very journey seven years and counting. Arguably, most of my life ever since I started my journal as a teenager. A wannabe writer. A culture eater. A finance professional turned empathetic leader. An introvert trained to be extraverted. Obsessed with how words shape reality. Hungry to leave a legacy and make a positive impact to lives of others.

I believe in small, incremental progress. One step at a time. This journal started as a weekly email update to my team during a time of substantial business and organizational transformation. Technical, dry, overloaded with too many process descriptions and financial metrics. It felt awkward. It served its main purpose. But this was not a purpose I wanted.

It evolved into a platform to also include my reflections and anecdotes. Sneak-peek into my private side. An invitation to connect. An important moment of my week, when I slow down, reflect and explore. A ‘me’ time, but also a time of positive contribution to my readers. A joke, a photo, a story. Thoughts on the book I read. Emotions I felt and delved into in a given moment. Plans, activities, things I was setting in motion.

This is the format of this journal today. What I think about, feel and do.

Please join me on this journey. Who knows where is this path leading to?
