Today was a great day. I’m not sure why but I feel all the positive emotions. I’m grateful, joyful, happy, relaxed, thankful, and at peace. Hopefully, after dissecting today, I’ll be able to pinpoint the cause of it being a good day because I can’t quite put a finger on it yet. I woke up […]

Only four more days before I leave Bali. I’m enjoying the last couple of days, but I’m looking forward to being back in Thailand where I’ll have reliable internet and away from all the bugs. I will miss the scooters and healthy food options. Bali does an incredible job using fresh local ingredients. The color

I feel like my productivity has plummeted in Bali. It’s a combination of not having my own place and bad working areas. I currently live in a Villa with three other people, so the kitchen and eating area is outside. Lighting in my room is weak, so it’s hard to work from here. Cafe internet is

It seems to take about two days for me to get settled into a new location and start enjoying it. I thought I was going to dislike Bali, but I’m growing to appreciate it and was thinking I shouldn’t have been so hasty in booking my flight out of here. At the villa, we have

What a day today was… Last night I didn’t sleep well at all. My comforter didn’t feel right. It smelled like it was damp and been sitting like that for a bit. Also, there were all sorts of annoying sounds outside the walls. I heard loud crickets, barking, frogs, and other unrecognizable sounds. The mixture
