Seasonal Book Recommendations for Fall (and Halloween) Lovers
As Halloween is now a (still very fresh) memory, I thought we could use this opportunity to write a post about autumn reads. We often consider autumn reads to be Halloween reads, though autumn has more to offer than (only) the spooky vibe. Of course, some of the books in the list are Halloween-inspired (because…

Explore My 2024 Reading List by Genre (31 books so far)
I thought that to reintroduce books into this corner of the internet (I may not be a librarian any more, but I have never lost my love for books), we might have a tour of the books I have read so far in 2024. They may fall into several categories, so just pretend they have…

Understanding Non-Judgmental Personal Growth
Today, I thought I would write a post on one thought that has been stuck in my mind. Some of you would know, from my last post, that I have recently been the victim of a serious accident and thus, have been home far more than usual, recovering. So far, 2024 has been a year…

Hard truth – Failure builds success because success is tougher than you
I have been having discussions lately on “overnight success”. You know, this myth that some of us are made successful overnight? For some, this does not look like a myth: success appears extremely fast in a given realm – I have been there myself in specific areas of my life.

Mindset shift: learn to do what you want to outsource!
Here I am again with a counter-intuitive post because this is what I love writing the most (and I know you love them too!). One of the fun parts of blogging, in my opinion, is the possibility of opening my readers’ minds (and mine, actually) to new ways of thinking about old things. Today, I…

Mindset shift: looking efficient is sometimes counter-efficient
I start with this: the present post is about a quite unpopular opinion, however realising this a while ago has saved me a lot of time and energy, thus I thought I would share this mindset shift with you.

You need to respect yourself before you are respected – Workplace edition
This is one of those concepts that make us want to scream ‘Thank you, Captain Obvious, I am not stupid’, but we all need to read or hear from the outside to fully go back to it from time to time. At least, I am one of these people. As I was figuring out what…
