What I learned in March
What I learned inĀ March
Now that April is more than halfway over, I finally have a minute to share my insights from last month! March was enlightening for me in many ways. I was able to observe myself and my work habits more objectivelyĀ ā looking closely at what they really are and how I operate ā in order to build around who I am instead forcing myself to work the wayĀ I think I should. I learned that I work best when Iā¦

Sprinkles
Sprinkles and the creative process.
If you were going to make a cake, what would your first step be? Alex Trebek and I will give you a second to think about it. Ok. Whatcha got? Maybe you said youād need to find a recipe, go shopping, or turn on the oven. Perhaps the more seasoned chefs out there jumped straight into mixing up ingredients. Iām not really a cake bakerā¦

My Happiness List
My Happiness List :)
My Happiness List As I mentioned last time, the process of thinking about and writing down a list of things that makes me happy and keeping the list where I can read it regularly has been quite enlightening. I know I said it before, but who knew that thinking about what makes you happy would actuallyĀ make you happier? Itās a sweet trick. I try to read my list every day, really taking a second toā¦

What I Learned in February
What I Learned inĀ February
Well, it wasnāt as successful as last month ā by a long shot. I had a few lovely days off to hang out with visitors (reading under palm trees, gorging on delicious food, and wearing myself out with pool games) followed by a week of not as much fun when the builders came and tore out two of our bathrooms. I was locked in the living room with a meowing cat for five days, one of which was myā¦

Fade to Grey
I am an only child, but I have siblings. I am a strong, capable, independent woman, but I am currently fully dependent on my male partner. I have a group of friends and family who I love so deeply I still see them around every corner, nearly seven years after I left them for a new destination. I cried so hard at the airport that day that I lost my breath and ran out of tears. But I still got onā¦

What I Learned in January
What I Learned inĀ January
Setting up a year of independent study has been an interesting process. Iāve learned what a MOOC is (massive open online course) and about great free learning places like Coursera.Ā Iāve created my own yearly, monthly, weekly and daily schedules. Iāve learned how to bounce back from distractions and off days. And Iāve learned more about myself and how my brain works so I can get the most out of myā¦

Dear Alex: January 23, 2017
Dear Alex: January 23,Ā 2017
Hello again!
We just talked this morning, but I wanted to say how lovely it is to hear your voice and see you in person (on a screen). I donāt know how our ancestors did it, Al. How can you move across the world and never see or hear your loved ones again? A letter that takes three weeks to arrive by steam ship is romantic and wonderful for a time, but to never be able to react real-time to theirā¦

Diving Updates!
Hey there!
I wanted to let you know that I recently shifted all my diving content to our blog We Are Divers, which you can find with that link or through the What I Write About section at the top.
My goal with the site is to share the underwater world with non-divers and diving newbies as well as those with lots of dives in their log book, so even if youāve never set foot in the sea, you mightā¦

Can Science and Religion Coexist?
Can Science and ReligionĀ Coexist?
Despite attempts in my youthĀ to pretend otherwise, science (particularly the mathy branches of science) has always called to meĀ from the deepest parts of my soul. I grew up watching Square 1 TV (of particular importance were Fridays, when the MathNet agents finally solved the weekās mystery), Bill Nye the Science Guy, 3-2-1 Contact, and Nova, among others. I loved reading science books andā¦

Mission Control
Creating your Mission Control Centre! #quests #goals
Every serious quest needs a base. You know, a big map on a table in the middle of the room where men with heavy brows inexplicably move chess pieces around to plan their next move. Last week, we built the mission control centre for our biggest quest yet: our big dream.
If you havenāt heard, we are working toward opening our own dive centre and guest house somewhere in southeast Asia. We arenātā¦

Making your #dreams come true is sometimes as scary as it is exciting. What are your dreams?
Thereās a great big ocean out there, and I sometimes feel like weāve been dropped right in the middle of it.
In many ways, thatās exactly what we want. We want a sea-filled life, full of fishy wonders and underwater adventure. But attempting to turn our hobby into a business ā and doing it in far-flung corners of the world, no less ā can sometimes make me feel lost at sea.
We have so much to do

Happy February!
Happy February! Here's a roundup of my #January. How was yours??
I love February. I might be slightly biased because it is my birthday month, but I think itās a pretty great one. Sure, there is still snow on the ground (not if you live in Oman, though!), but the really dark days of winter start to evaporate, the sun comes out more and, depending on where you live, you might even start to see some signs of life returning to the garden. I hope that wherever youā¦

A Night on Jabal Shams
A Night on #jabalshams, the Grand Canyon of #oman. What a sight to behold.
A couple of weeks ago we spent the night on Omanās highest mountain, Jabal Shams (in English, that means The Sun Mountain). It was a remarkable experience and one I wonāt soon forget. I havenāt had the chance to show you photos yet but, as I finally have my new laptop (yay!), I can finally give you a glimpse into our camping adventure. Enjoy!
This road doesnāt mess around. While the grade on theā¦

Just Because
Just Because is the best reason I can think of to do something you want to do. #creativity #standyourground
I am currently working on a project that has been stirring in my periphery for years. I donāt know why I feel compelled to do it, Iāve just kept coming back to it over and over for so long, and now feels like the right time to take it on.
Itās a project that will probably bring delight only to myself and a very small handful of other very specific nerds. It is taking up hours of time every week.ā¦

Know Your Agenda
Getting my head around my agenda has made decisions a whole lot easier. #creativity #divelife #procrastination
Last week I realised that I have the power to take on work that aligns with my agenda. What I had a hard time pinning down was exactly what my agenda is.
Iām a creative person so, at any given time, I have about a billion and one ideas about what I could spend my energy on. Iāve got ideas for blog posts, podcasts, videos, books, products, businesses, you name it, rolling around in my headā¦

Being an Expat - The Real Deal
Being an #expat just means living abroad. The key word? #Living.
There are a lot of things people donāt tell you about being an expat. You see these world travellers, people out there āliving their dreamsā and it seems like the most romantic, fulfilling life in the world. Iām not here to tell you it sucks. Iām here to tell you itās just another way of living life.
Expats get a lot of, āYeah, but you live in London!ā or āYeah, but you live in Oman!ā or āYeah,ā¦

Dear Last Tuesday Me
Last week I had #lasik eye surgery. I was so nervous! Here are my words to past me about the future. #writing
Dear past me,
Youāre sitting there right now freaking out about what is to come later today. ItāsĀ a frightening and ookey prospect and your fear totally makes sense. But I am going to talk to you about what it means to be on the other side of that. About how remarkable it is that you have the option for this in your life and what it will mean to you after you go through the gross part. Youāreā¦
