Last week was a good one for me. Nothing exciting or out of the ordinary happened. It was a boring, normal, good week. We all deserve such boring good weeks, don’t we? I have been trying to write my daily gratitudes every night, but sometimes I forget to journal. Then I realized, I haven’t completely … More Gratitude Lessons #WeeklyGratitude #SoulfulSunday
This morning my eldest left for Florida with his teachers and friends from school. It’s an educational trip filled with lots of fun activities. He was very excited about this trip.

It’s a habit I got into since I started blogging. But this year I don’t have anything to show. 2022 was a … More 2022 – Year In Review & Reflection

I felt like there was no time to catch up with anything unless there is some automated process developed to tackle those. The ones that were in autopilot mode went through without fail. I have lots … More This week in gratitude #SoulfulSunday
It feels odd being here. It’s been too long since I had last wandered along these corridors to share something from my heart. Trust me, I tried. I wanted to share. But the mere thought of showing up frightened me. And I have no idea why. Even at this very moment, I am scared. Like … More Begin Again #SoulfulSunday
Last week, my little guy was playing with our dresser by pulling the drawers out and the whole thing fell on top of him. That was a scary moment to deal with.
