  • A floral installation: A short tale about hope & growth

    A floral installation: A short tale about hope & growth

    A flower does not bloom over night. Their beauty also came with many struggles. They had to fight the darkness in order to find the sun, the source of nourishment. The flower never gave up because she couldn’t see the light. She has faith. Pushing one sprout at a time. She never gave up until…

  • What experience helped me grow the most?

    What experience helped me grow the most?

    Kindness. Because, genuine kindness showed me the other side of humanity and gives hope for a better world. To know that there are people who have been hard and gone through their own trials to know that – sometimes, another human needs a helping hand without (potentially) benefitting from you.

    Does keeping the peace, really bring the harmony we seek?

    This post is about family and keeping the peace.  The mind and the body are more closely connected than we care to believe.

    Stay present. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. The future doesn’t matter. It’s not even here yet. Why worry about something that is in the distant future? Does the God of this earth even look that far ahead? Or is it just me wanting to play a bad form of the deity? Why add more worries to…

    being 40 something felt like a life time away, until it wasn’t.

    Discussion piece: This is a post about being in your forties and aging. I have never thought much about aging. When you are in your 20s and 30s, you feel invincible. You’re young and you have the world at your feet. Getting old feels like a million miles away.  My twenties were a blur. A…

  • Forgiveness comes when there is understanding.

    Forgiveness comes when there is understanding.

    If you can’t do it for them, do it for you.  Don’t wait to forgive. The time on earth is finite.  Why are we holding a grudge? Is it because we feel entitled to it? At what cost are you paying?  We never consider the hidden cost of unforgiveness. Or the fact that we ……
