My Story & Journey - Who is Stella Tenzin

Ex employers vs. Current employer Although I still have tremendous respect and appreciation for my former employers—especially those in the culinary field—my loyalty and professional commitment will always lie with where I currently work. Out of respect for my present workplace, I’ve decided to place this blog on pause for the time being. Sometimes, part of moving forward is knowing when to let the past remain in the past. I’m simply an ordinary person trying to live a normal, fulfilling life, and I hope you’ll understand and respect that. Thank you to everyone who has supported and followed my writing. I’m truly grateful. Apology to my readers… An apology to all my readers: Although I still have tremendous respect and appreciation for my former employers—especially those in the culinary field—my loyalty and professional commitment will always lie with where I currently work.

  Well… apparently I accidentally manifested a floodgate of opportunities. 😂 I am incredibly grateful for all the job offers and opportunities I’ve received since my birthday post. It seems I casually put something out into the universe and the universe said, “Oh, you wanted options? SAY LESS.” 😂 I truly appreciate every single offer and message. However, I am officially  OFF THE MARKET ! 🎉 I’ve accepted an offer and I’m very excited to start a new journey next week. I wasn’t able to personally reply to every single email (and, naturally, some very determined opportunities are currently hanging out in my spam folder 😅), so I figured this post would be the most efficient way to say THANK YOU to everyone who reached out. And just to clarify -these are  not AI-generated  😂. They’re actual snapshots from my inbox. Although, I have to admit, my absolute favorite offer was the one asking me to become their  brand ambassador / “the face of the company” … in exchan...

  August 26 -the day I was born, and the day two magical things happened. ✨ Let me explain why I call it “magic.” My company held a  Staff Appreciation Day , and I found it to be such a positive and encouraging initiative, especially in a team-oriented work environment. Instead of recognizing only an “Employee of the Month,” they chose to appreciate and celebrate the  entire team . I’ve experienced working for companies where recognition was focused only on one individual. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with that approach-it’s simply another way of showing appreciation-I’ve also seen how it can sometimes unintentionally create jealousy, resentment, bullying, or unhealthy competition among coworkers, eventually contributing to a toxic workplace environment. Personally, I believe that when an entire team feels valued and appreciated, something special happens.  Morale improves, people become more motivated, productivity increases, and even sales and customer r...

  Dear Pen you may seem small- petite, delicate, almost fragile- yet somehow, you stand tall, almighty with dignity in the hands of those who dare to write. You carry no sword, yet you can move nations. You carry no crown, yet your words can command attention. You make no thunderous noise, yet your ink can echo across generations. There is a certain power in the way you move- a magnetism in every stroke, every sentence, every thought you bring to life. You capture the eyes of the mass media, the hearts of readers, the curiosity of strangers, and sometimes, with a single sentence, you make the unseen- seen. You give a voice to those who were silenced, to those who remained unheard, to those misunderstood and overlooked by the world. Through you, a forgotten story can travel across borders. A quiet truth can become a conversation. A hidden voice can become a movement. A single idea can go viral within a heartbeat. Oh, dear Pen, what freedom you give to every hand that holds you. You ...

Finding a great   meal at the   airport can sometimes feel like a  challenge, especially when   you're trying to   make it to   your gate on   time. That's why   I always appreciate   recommendations from friends   who travel   regularly. A few   of my avid   traveler friends recently   discovered   Villa Russo Café , conveniently located in   JFK Airport's Terminal 4 near Gate B24 , and after hearing   their glowing reviews, it's officially on   my list for   my next trip   through New York. Although I haven't had the opportunity to try it first hand yet, I'm already looking forward to stopping in for one of their famous sandwiches-before my next flight. A Taste of New York at JFK Airport Villa Russo Café isn't just another airport eatery. It's a thoughtfully designed quick-service café that brings decades...
