From Daydreams to Determination

I’ve always believed in pushing forward, no matter what. If I ever reach a dead end, at least I’ll know I gave it my all. That’s where the relief and acceptance come in—I’m not afraid of failing; I’m afraid of not trying. Some might call it perseverance; I call it GRIT.

Growing up with a single mom after losing my dad at a young age shaped the way I see the world. My dad used to tell me stories about his business trips abroad—little glimpses into faraway lands that lit up my imagination. We’d daydream together about moving to Canada, building a life from scratch in a new country. Those dreams stuck with me, even when he was no longer there to share them.

Fast forward, and by some twist of fate (and a sprinkle of divine grace), I found myself donning the uniform of an international flight attendant. A dream come true, right? Traveling the world, living a glamorous life—at least that’s how it looks from the outside. What most people don’t see are the sacrifices. The missed birthdays, the jet lag, the constant goodbyes. But still, I was grateful. It was everything my younger self could have hoped for.

Then, life decided to throw me a curveball. I swapped the skies for sales—a completely different world. Oh, what a ride that’s been! If there’s one thing sales teaches you, it’s that people can be brutally honest when survival is on the line. From giving warm smiles to passengers to chasing down revenue targets, I’ve seen the full spectrum of human interaction. Let’s just say the “charm offensive” takes on a whole new meaning when KPIs are involved. Honestly, I could write an entire blog just about the hilarity and heartbreak of it all.

But through it all—every twist, every pivot, every unexpected detour—GRIT has been my constant companion. It’s what I’m most proud of, professionally and personally. I’ve always set my sights higher, worked harder, and kept going, even when exhaustion whispered, “Is this really worth it?”

And you know what? It always is. Because at the end of the day, I can look back and say, “I tried.” That’s where the magic happens—in those moments when hard work meets divine timing, when the universe finally says, “Alright, you’ve earned this.” , It feels DAMN good and when things happened not as you wanted that will be a sign that " It's not now I have a BETTER one for you " 

Life has a funny way of bending and twisting, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. 

Love, 

Chits

Finding Strength in Vulnerability: My Journey with Anxiety

 Hello there! Can you believe we're already halfway through 2024? Time truly flies. Unfortunately, this year didn't start off on the best note for me. It's been a long, dragging few months, and just yesterday, I experienced a severe anxiety attack that lasted for three hours. It felt like my world was falling apart. I couldn't catch my breath, my heart was racing, and my body was shaking uncontrollably. What triggered this? It was just a normal Monday until this sudden wave of anxiety hit me. I had to leave my desk and talk to a colleague to try and distract myself. But the palpitations only grew worse, and I found myself telling my close friend that I needed to get out of there. As soon as I reached the bench outside, the tears started flowing. I felt more vulnerable than I have in two years. It reminded me of my first anxiety attack, which happened alone, in the middle of the night, leaving me feeling lost and scared. I've always been a worrier, constantly frettin...

Honoring Our Journey of Progress

Hey there, beautiful souls! How's life treating you all? Sending out a shower of blessings your way. Lately, I've been on another     journey of self-discovery and growth. It's incredible how we can be our own worst critics, isn't it? We often find ourselves tangled up in the web of our own expectations, only to end up feeling utterly devastated when we fall short of achieving what we desire. Yews ouch!   Ah, the vicious cycles of life! They have a way of knocking us down, hitting us hard in the gut, and making us question our worth. It's as if we're constantly riding a roller coaster, one moment feeling on top of the world, and the next, crashing down to the depths of despair. Oh, how I know that feeling all too well! But you know what? In the midst of these tumultuous ups and downs, I've learned a valuable lesson. I've come to realize that it's unrealistic to expect myself to be the same person every single day. Life is a constant ebb and flow, and...

Near-death Reflection

Two days ago,  I had an experience that shook me deeply and made me truly appreciate the precious gift of life.  After more than twenty years of driving, I was in a major car accident.  I don't remember much about the incident, other than the airbag exploding in my face.  I was in shock at the time, but perhaps thanks to my previous training as a crew member in an emergency, I was able to cope with the situation. But when I got home, I succumbed to emotions and found myself unable to do anything but cry and cry.  Only then did I realize how lucky I was to be alive, how lucky I am to be able to get home.  The fact that the man whose towing my car said it was a terrible accident and I could lose my life.  The weight of this awareness impressed me so much that I could only hug my mother and keep crying. This experience made me think about how I live my life.  Have I treated others kindly and respectfully?  Have I made a positive impact on those ...
