Let it be. Simple, isn’t it? But experience says that’s one of the hardest things to do. Even a simple act like writing a daily gratitude journal will flourish only if we master the art of letting it be—letting the words and gratitude gleam and bubble up naturally. You know what tampers with letting it … More Let It Be
One of the things I keep coming back to is my appreciation for this life. Life is beautiful—my inner voice keeps echoing. I like that sound. And yet, it puzzles me. Because if I look at my day, life is anything but beautiful. It’s chaotic—a never-ending list of to-dos scattered around, each demanding my attention … More The Puzzling Life #FictionMonday
Aren’t we all blessed to be alive,To realize we can be anything,Read any book,Dance to any tune,Dream without limits,Aspire to whatever our hearts desire,Change the world, even just a little? There’s no boundary—Except, the ifs and butsWe impose on ourselves. Aren’t we blessed to breathe,To hold within us the powerTo change the circumstancesThat challenge us? … More Beyond the Limits #Poem #FictionMonday
For the past five days, I’ve been trying to write this post. I thought I’d figured out my word of the year a while back—it seemed perfect for my new year. Or so I thought. But when I started typing, it didn’t feel right. Despite my attempts, I couldn’t finish the post. Today, I decided … More 2025 Word Of The Year
The harsh realities,the unpleasant truths,the unkind experiences—life, a mixed bag of sweet, sour, and bitter. Yet, there’s grace in the chaos,in the uncertainties that pop in and out.There’s beauty in surviving,as resilience and hope emerge,dancing through the intensifying tensionbetween despair and promise. The ever-so-graceful life,despite its jagged edges,offers moments of stillness—soft whispers of happiness,tender reminders … More Graceful Life #Poem #FictionMonday
Is there a law that you live by? A rule that you follow no matter what—one you’ve never broken and never will? I believe we all live by certain laws and principles—untold and unwritten ones, that our minds are clear about. Isn’t that why we like certain things and dislike others? Isn’t that where our … More Rules of Life #FictionMonday
I don’t believe in the power of the evil eye. The logical part of my brain refuses to accept that someone else’s malice can influence our lives. It seems frivolous — an excuse to relinquish our power and place it in someone else’s hands. Because then the question remains, why shouldn’t our good intentions — kindness and good deeds — take … More When Love Speaks Beyond Words #FictionMonday
Although I don’t consider myself a perfectionist, I do possess perfectionist traits, like procrastinating with no end in sight. It’s a dangerous trait because, being a half-perfectionist, I don’t do my tasks perfectly. Instead, I have perfected the dark side of perfectionism. I tend to wait for everything to align properly before getting on with … More Finding Calm in Chaos #FictionMonday
It’s true, hearing someone go through something and experiencing that something yourself are two different things altogether. Sunday afternoon, my Microsoft account got hacked, and I lost all my data. My son lost three years’ worth of gaming progress. We lost 16 years of data that we had gathered—our photos, documents, my notes in OneNote, … More Not My Typical Monday
It’s been a week since school closed and summer break started for my kids. Summer break, or any break for that matter, means a whole lot of baking in our kitchen. Akku and Kanna love to help me bake cookies and brownies, well, for their own selfish reasons, namely, eat the baked goodies and the … More A Spoonful of Mistake #MundaneMonday
