Another New Chapter in My Journey

Hello Wealthy Affiliate family,

It’s been a while since I last updated here. Life threw me some challenges. Poor health kept me away, and in the process I lost jobs. Age became another barrier when I was told I was “too old” for certain opportunities. On top of that, I’ve stepped into the role of caregiver for my mom, which makes full-time or even part-time work difficult.

But here’s the silver lining: recovery is underway, and with it comes clarity. In 2023, I published my book Shifting Paradigms: A Cancer Survivor's Journey of Holistic Healing. That project reminded me of the power of storytelling and the importance of sharing experiences that can uplift others.

This isn’t the first time I’ve walked the writer’s path. In the past, I worked as a scriptwriter for local TV shows in Singapore, served as a creative director, and built campaigns through copywriting. Alongside that, I’ve been blogging for years, and readers often tell me they enjoy my style. All of these experiences have shaped my voice and my approach to storytelling.

Now, I’ve decided to reignite my passion for writing and step fully into the role of author. I have several fiction story ideas waiting to be told, and I’ll be working on them whenever caregiving duties allow.

This is not just about writing books. It’s about embracing a revival of my career as an author, reclaiming creativity, and proving that it’s never too late to start again.

I look forward to sharing this journey with you, and I hope my story reminds anyone facing setbacks that new beginnings are always possible.

The world needs more stories. I’m ready to tell mine.

Timotheus

If I have learned anything in my own life, nothing ever happens by chance. This next chapter could have been your purpose in life, and the hardship you faced was the trigger to unlock the gate and proceed onward. I wish you good health and much luck moving forward.

Thank you, Michael. I really value your perspective. You’re right. Sometimes hardships do unlock new paths, or our purpose in life, we might not have seen otherwise. I’m grateful for your encouragement and well wishes as I move forward.

You're very welcome. 🙂

I am sorry to hear that you have had health issues. However, you are not a stranger to that. It is just good to be better. Yes, the care-giving is a challenge as well, but what we feel we must do. Best wishes as you settle in and find ways to whittle out time for your writing.

Thank you, Sami. You’re right, caregiving is a challenge, but also something we feel deeply called to do. I’m grateful for your kind wishes, and I’ll keep finding those little pockets of time to write whenever I can.

Hello Timotheus

We share caregiving for our elderly mothers, so I do understand how time is precious. I am sorry to hear you were told that you are too old for certain opportunities, that is never easy to hear.

Be patience everything will work out for you,

Jeff

Thank you, Jeff. It means a lot to know you understand the caregiving journey. Patience is indeed key, and I appreciate your encouragement as I balance caring for my mom with finding time to write.

Hello Timotheus

Its awesome that you are taking care of your mother, my mother is 87 years old now. She rarely leaves her apartment, so I do what I can for her as much as possible.

It is a chalenge when we are not young any more as well, I hope everything works out alright for your mom and you.

Take care of both of you,
Jeff
