Who am I? I am a lioness.




My name is Leona and it means female lion.


I am very grateful that my parents give me such a beautiful name since I was born.


It is such an honor that I am an associate of a lioness.


For me, being a lioness I have these qualities in me: Grace, Courage, Energy, Awareness and Confidence.


A lion is also a big cat. Cats have all the qualities of lions and yet they are Spoilt and Spiritual.


I want to live my life like a Cat.


How about you?

Who am I? A slightly overweight woman!

Who am I?


It is a question that has been bothering me for a long time. I wonder why I am here in this world in the form of what I am given, and if I am not me -- who will I be? I can get very lost if I keep myself in this thinking mode.


More scary is that it is very often people around me do not quite see the same person in me as I do. It created a lot of self acceptance issues to me. In last 10 year or so, I also started to think about my integrity. Am I walking the talk? Do my actions align to who I claim myself to be? Do I allow myself to be me?

Lately, I found the answer of this very question -- who am I? I am my life. My life is the journey of my Body, Mind and Spirit. My life is hollow if my Body, Mind and Spirit do not deliver their purposes.


My Body is my interface to the external world, and it is the house of my Mind and Spirit. My mind is my perception of the world, and the agent to add fuel to my life by way of learning and sharing. My Spirit is my calling, my core values and my ability to connect to other souls. To live my life in full, I need to look after my Body, Mind and Spirit.


One of my cat's name is Lang Lang (Pretty Pretty). She is a projection of how I live my life style, and I get a lot of great reflection from her. One of the latest observation of her is that -- due to her gourment eating habbit she is slightly over weight and same as the writer. It will be lovely if I can shed at least 10% of my body weight.


So, what am I going to do about it?

Life vs LifeStyle


Happiness is THE thing everyone wants in their life.

However, how many of us are always happy? What is holding us back?


My latest discovery is that -- when we focus on the wrong things in our life we hold ourselves back from happiness.


In today's commercial world, we are constantly being reminded of our lifestyles. It seems to us that a glamorous lifestyle is the foundation of happiness. If we spray this body scent, we will feel good and will be full of confidence. If we drive this car, we will get fulfilment. If we stay in this luxurious spa & resort, we can be totally relaxed. Is this the truth?


How many times do we spray that body scent and yet feel insufficient? How long does our brand new car fulfill us? Did that Spa & Resort relax us or it was something else?


If my "Body, Mind and Spirit" are not in shape, my lifestyle will not work for me. I will call my "Body, Mind and Spirit" my life, and will share my great expedition of my life with you in this blog. This blog is part of my life purpose -- to experience all kinds of beauty in the world and spread the experience out. I am sure if you are reading this blog, you are part of my wonderful journey.


Please stay tune, and we are going to have a lot of fantastic time here!
