Like opening a fresh new book with blank pages ready to be filled in. But it also makes me nervous. Anything I write on this new page quickly takes away the … More 2023 Weekly Gratitude – 1 #SoulfulSunday
Let me say this right away. I am dreading this post. Then why am I writing this? Because I always do. I have been writing an end of the year review since 2014. 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
The last few weeks have been whooshing past me. The week begins and ends, all at the same time.

Every twist and turn would eventually lead us to something marvelous. That’s what I like to believe. However, keeping a positive attitude … More Weekly Gratitude – 31 #SoulfulSunday
It feels like it’s been a few weeks since I wrote my weekly gratitude, though I missed only last week. My weeks were eventful and memorable so much that I feel one weekly gratitude post isn’t enough to share everything. Last week, my kids started their new school year after the Summer holidays. As usual, … More Weekly Gratitude – 30 #SoulfulSunday
