Interesting starts to a brand new year....

New stuff = new changes to morning routine

Kids start their morning school at 6a.m.

Join morning yoga sessions at True before reaching office at 9a.m.

Doing Hot Yoga has been great! I sweat buckets but it makes me feel refreshed... love it!

Barack Obama will be sworn in as America's 44th President on Tues Singapore time

Interesting times indeed!

Who would have thought that a black (Afro-American) will ascend to the highest office in the world during my lifetime? (Was hoping it would have been a woman but hey! he's pretty awesome!)

Heard him speak several times during the election & man! He's inspirational!

Some reports have downplayed his influence & asked "what can 1 man do?" My reply? "What can't one man not do?" He gives HOPE & that's mega important during such hard times when everyday can deliver a "down in the dumps" news - Lehman, AIG, then last but not least Madoff all dropping bombs after bombs of doom.

This 1 person can give hope, that's enough to lift the spirits of hundred, thousands and millions - that's good enough for me in such times. Many times when everything's down, I reach into my fav book that brought me through the tough times "Tough times never last, but Tough people do."

Let go and Let God

As children bring their broken toys
with tears for us to mend,

I brought my broken dreams to God
because He was my friend.

But then, instead of leaving Him

in peace to work alone,

I hung around and tried to help with ways

that were my own.

At last I snatched them back and cried,

"How can You be so slow?"

"My child," He said, "what could I do?

You never did let go."
