“I am enough”, the lies I tell myself! Sometimes it makes me happy and able. So I keep up with the charade and chant,“I am enough”. Often though, the lies stare at me and it hurts like hell.

I remember writing them, the hesitation and the desire to show them, the sort of disbelief on my parents’ face, the feeling of content … More My Journey of Self Discovery #SoulfulSunday

The trip to Flagstaff is laced with vistas of gorgeous mountains all around us. This being the first … More A Wonderful Outing and Some Reflections #SoulfulSunday
I like my days calm and clutter-free. Not filled with so many appointments. But the week that went by, was busier than the one I imagined what busy meant. The weekend came as a relief.
