Horrid Airbnb experience - Part 1

We had been renting a room in our house for about 6 months.
We enjoyed the stream of visitors, yet we were looking for someone who could live with us on a more long-term basis.
B. entered our life and we were pleased.
He booked a room through Airbnb one week in, one week out.
We fell in love with the guy. He was a gentle soul, funny and a bit shy.
We had many things in common including our vision for the future.
We liked to have him around.
M. had started to introduce him to friends.
People appeared to appreciate him.
We had a trip planned. We were travelling for two weeks and a half or so. B. had lived with us for two months or so, we trusted him and so we agreed through the Airbnb scheme to leave him our home with confidence that all would be well.

Off we went.

Are we good friend?

A friend came to visit. She brought flowers and a card. Inside the card, she wrote that I was an amazing friend. To her, at least. It is normal to question yourself on the quality of your friendship and whether or not  you are a good friend to other people, are you doing enough to engage, support, celebrate others when they go through major transition? How much more can you do while racing through life, its responsibilities and distractions? A good tool to use for reflection is the theory of attachment to understand yourself and how your type of attachement impact on the quality of relationships. Have a look and let me know what you think?

Missminimalist , Thank you

I was hooked to missminimalist blogs in the past four days, reading approximately 16 pages of individuals testimonies on how they started and enjoyed their minimalist journey. It opened my eyes on the endless minimalist lifestyles that any of us can implement. I admire the traveller, the spiritualist, the true materialist (as opposed to consumerist), the mindful, the artist, the mum, the dad, the designer who with intention choose to keep the things that add value to his/her life and get rid of the frivolous. Beyond just getting rid of things, there is not participating to our current wasteful society, it is recognising that we are all equal regardless of what we own and finally it is embracing freedom. It is why I love it. I encourage you to have a read/rid, I hope it will inspire you:  http://www.missminimalist.com/

You are ''It''

You have been looking though job description and you convinced yourself that you are not good enough for any of them. Yet, you have been working on various ventures, you have built up things from the ground up, others are aware of your value. Yet, you are certain that you will never fit in any of those descriptions, earn as much, succeed as much. The language they use is intimidating. You do not feel that any tasks actions you have complete could match their requirements. To boost your confidence up, you attend a career workshops. I am not the only one there, there are many others like me who have the skill, the training, the experience of dealing with compllicated projects and they do not feel that they are it. ''You are ''It'' the facilitator say ''Really?'' we wonder First action to take > to believe it. Results will follow through
