Throwing Open The Doors to 2025: Strong

Welcome to 2025! What do you want your year to look like? By the end of 2025, what will you be glad to have accomplished? What is something that the highest version of myself will do this year? What will my every day routine look like? These are questions I've been asking myself since the start of December. After a lot of reflection and experimenting with many word choices, I've chosen 'STRONG' as my word of the year.

Grateful Glimpses: Reflecting On 2024

As the year draws to a close, I'm reflecting on 2024 and everything that shaped my year. It has been a year filled with challenges and triumphs, a year that demanded courage and resilience but also offered abundant grace. In retrospect, I'm incredibly thankful for this year's significant and simple moments. I've been documenting the year through my Word of The Year themes and my…

Dear Self – December 2024

I can't believe that I've been writing these 'letters' every month of this year and now we're on December 2024. I'm planning to change up the month end reviews in 2025. Let's see how that goes. December 2024 Dear Self You chose to be intentionally peaceful in December, and you did quite a good job of it. December was certainly a much kinder month…

Embracing Daily Gratitude

As Jon Kabat-Zinn wisely said, “The little things? The little moments? They aren’t little.” These tiny actions can change how we see things, lift our mood, and shape our overall happiness. In my experience, embracing daily gratitude is one of the most powerful ways to train our brains to find more joy and less stress.

Ride The Winds Of Change

Ride the winds of change, unafraid.— Dr. Larry Ward As the seasons shift, I feel the need for transformation stirring within me. I long to move forward without fear. There is so much I wish to accomplish in my life, yet I don't want to race down the path so quickly that I lose sight of what truly matters to me…

Intentionally Peaceful In December

It seems a little strange to be already in the last month of my year of 'intention'! Time goes by faster, the older you get, it seems. In December, I'm choosing to be intentionally peaceful. Photo by Sixteen Miles Out on Unsplash Intentionally Peaceful In December December has always felt like a paradox to me. It’s a month filled with beauty—twinkling lights, festive warmth, and a sense of celebration—but it’s also one of the busiest…

Dear Self November 2024

I meant to get this out on the last day of November 2024, but like many good intentions, that didn't happen. So here I am with my usual end-of-month post, five days into the following month. But it's not like you're keeping track, are you? 😉 Dear Self - November 2024 Dear Self November was a hard month for you. You felt helpless and hopeless especially as you watched the world go seemingly mad.

Feeling Helpless?

I’ve been missing from my blogs and writing on Substack for a couple of weeks. It might sound funny to you, but all the way in India, I was deeply affected by the results of the US elections. I have family in the US, and sorry to say, many of them have been Team Trump, so that’s not what upset me.

Intentionally Noticing The Little Things In November

In November, I'm going to be intentionally noticing the little things. Intentionally Noticing The Little Things November, with its colder days, earlier sunsets, and the gratitude-focused holiday of Thanksgiving. This season naturally invites us to slow down, reflect, and pay closer attention to the small, often overlooked moments that enrich our lives. I find myself savoring things more intentionally this time of…

Dear Self – October 2024

The theme I chose for October 2024 was 'Intentionally Open'. Today's post is reflections from the month - my experiences and the lessons I learned. October 2024 Dear Self You quite outdid yourself this month in so many ways. But then, in other ways, things didn't go according to plan. Setbacks. Health issues. Stepping into a caregiver role for a brief time.
