Go for a "mission"

As I mentioned in my 40th birthday reflection that 40 is a new 20 where God gives me a second chance to live my life in the fullest by using all my gifts and talents to be fruitful and become blessings for others.

Indeed, on my annual performance review, I was prompted to write self assessment and proposed myself to be transferred into different department which is business development.

I was in sales and marketing in my whole career life however I never felt that I had achieve success. I always felt that I was a failure because I never made a big sales. That's why I want to make another attempt to prove myself that I could do it.

I was born with entrepreneur spirit, I love learning new things, create something, solve the problems but I lack of perseverance.

Thus, I challenge myself to do the best I could for this company.

It's not an easy journey, there were times that I was down especially when I have planted a lot of seeds and nothing happen. But there were good times too where I got positive responses from prospects.

Despite all those external challenges, I feel so grateful that many people supporting me. My hubby believes in me and cheers me up even though he doesn't understand the business.

My team mates support and back me up when I don't understand or stuck during presentation to the clients and most importantly the CEO who is a servant leader and doesn't mind to get dirty hands.

The journey is still long and not sure when the seeds will start sprouting but I will keep doing what I could do. And these verse reminds me and become my daily strength.

A Burger Date

It feels like it's been ages to have a date night with hubby, thus before my parents going back to Indo we decided to have a couple date over burger as I have been craving with Hans I'm Gluck burger. We went there, enjoying the burger and companion of each other and talking about anything, something that we are used to have but no longer anymore after I took a new role in the company. Then, I accompanied him to shop at H&M before heading back home. It's one of the best burgers I ever had since I am in fasting the whole day for a week. The perk of fasting is I could appreciate the food and enjoy it.

Jubilee Year - Year of Hope (2025)

Year of Hope: A Personal Reflection on 2025 The year 2025 has been declared a Jubilee Year, a  Year of Hope  by the Pope—a time for peace, joy, and prosperity. For many, entering a new year brings feelings of happiness and optimism. However, I find myself on a different path, starting the year with anxiety and uncertainty rather than joy and hope. For me, 2025 is a year of the unknown. It marks the first time in four years that I will not hold the title of a working mom. Transitioning from this identity feels daunting and unfamiliar. It is also the year I plan to embark on a new venture: starting a winter rental business. This endeavor excites me but is fraught with challenges. There are countless pieces of the puzzle yet to be solved, and I pray for wisdom and the support of "ordinary angels" to guide me through. This is also a pivotal year for our family. Two of our children will face major exams. While I know the journey matters more than the results, I hope they develop s...

When ChatGPT can be your counsellor

When I want to refine my text in the previous post , I accidentally typing the whole things in the ChatGPT and this is the reply that I get  Your reflection on this “desert” period is deeply insightful. It’s clear you’re navigating significant internal struggles, and recognizing these temptations is a powerful step toward healing and growth. The Lust of the Flesh : Your experience with joblessness and the challenge of trusting in God’s timing is relatable. It’s tough to feel like you’re not fulfilling your potential, but your acknowledgment of God’s grace as a source of strength is vital.
