How to Live More Intentionally This Year
What does it mean to be your own person? We can’t ignore the mounting conclusion that we are summations of our past experiences, various environmental factors, and the genetic legacy we have inherited from our family trees. The good news is, if you are the kind of person who is looking to have more connection and joy, based on genuine feelings and honest experiences, you can influence those factors to a significant degree! I find this topic fascinating. Read more about epigentics and their impact, in particular the subheadings ‘Environmental Influences on the Epigenome‘ and ‘Epigenetic Emotions‘: https://www.science.org.au/curious/epigenetics) While it is important to keep an eye on studies that dive…

Define Yourself
Where can you go for a good taco these days? If I asked you to share with me your favorite taco joint, where would you send me? I hope you tell me about your favorites.

Living In Between
Wong Fu Productions has put out a couple of interesting videos. I came across ‘In Between’ and I did a full stop. Oh my gosh! I’m actually lucky that I didn’t have friends make jokes about Asians like this. My friends accepted me as Christi and I saw them for who they were as well. But I suddenly became aware that I was Asian when I asked a boy out. He said it was because I wasn’t his type. *Burn* I went through a similar identity crisis. Only then did I hear the “jokes” and understand the racist comments. I stopped participating in these kind of jokes. It wasn’t funny…

Baby You’re a Firework. Let’s Light it up.
American holidays are becoming treacherous battlegrounds between the simple nostalgia of community and the political ignorance underlying the origins of each of them. The dilemma is simple: Pros: The community comes together and celebrates it’s oneness. Cons: The community is reminded we are an imperfect nation and we have done horrible things. When you are done sifting the pan most of it is sugar coated marketing. And like most Americans, I am addicted to sugar. Resisting the temptation is hard enough on my own without someone running up and smacking the sugary concoction out of my hand and shaming me for enjoying it. That’s not how you convince me that…
