Tuesday afternoon. A few hours before the deadline. But not just any deadline. One that I imposed on myself. And one that stresses me out because I haven't finished any of my writing ideas. More than a year ago, I set myself the following challenge: "For one
Life's weird. And so interesting! Once again, I had a week where I can't show anything concrete just yet. But there's a sense of intense incubation. Sometimes, the seeds you sow take so long to blossom you forgot where you put them in the
The sun had already set a couple of hours earlier over Koh Samui airport. In my infinite genius, I booked a flight very late in the day. But it’s January in Thailand, so the airport is packed anyway. All the other passengers are waiting in front of the gate,
I hate being ill. This week, I suffered from the worst affliction known to mankind: man flu. I made it through, thanks for not asking. But this time of great peril made me realize something: things take time. I wasn’t blessed with the gift of patience. I love always

A spiral – that's all that life is. You go up and down, but you also go around. So it is with cultivating intuition. But I never thought the treasure would be what I found during this merry-go-round. The last two weeks of my intuition cultivation practice
Koh Tao is beautiful during the month of January. But a problem looms as well. There. Are. A. Lot. Of. People. The bells of hell beckon in paradise. If you want to experience an authentic Thailand, January on Koh Tao might not be your best bet (or Koh Tao overall
What happened this week absolutely blew me away. Last week, I realized that an improved awareness is the key to your intuition. But the last seven days completely changed how I view intuition as a whole. Because intuition doesn't live in your mind alone – it's much
One week has passed since I started my experiment where I would follow my intuition more. After the first day one thing became clear to me: there's something you must cultivate before intuition can appear – and that thing is awareness. In hindsight, it makes perfect sense. How can
