I am going through what is referred to as ‘a pause’. A ‘pause’ is a time, an ‘inbetween’ time between ‘projects’ ‘life transformations’ , jobs etc anyway you got my drift. it is also an important point of time in one’s life for reflection and relaxation.

I have just stepped down as president of AWARE, after its most dramatic and tense period and which I am sure is going to be analysed, discussed and written about for many years to come.

I had taken two months off – one month spend delightfully in the company of sisters, neices and nephews in Perth and, one month in Singapore, coming to terms with being ‘status’ less and free from cares and responsibilities for an organisation. It is a new phase in my life; a new experience and a ‘pause’.

Yesterday i had three friends, who I respect, trust and love for lunch and chat. We decided to tackle a most difficult and profound question ” Who am I?”.

We are usually stuck in our roles and our roles define us. Since I don’t have many roles anymore ( except being sister and aunt)  the question forced me to think beyond roles. Because what makes our roles and the way we behave in our roles is defined by who we are – the ‘being’ part of us and not the ‘doing’ part of us. “Who am I?” is  an on-going discussion and should keep me reflecting for quite a while.

The group is meeting agian in two weeks to continue our discussion. Will keep you posted.
