Here’s to the beginning of another year – a year of milestones. I carry on my lessons and goals from 2023 to let life flow and spend my energy wisely. As I turn 50 this year and my beautiful boy turns 16, my priorities in life are different. As always I set a few goals for…

Year gone by….
And just like that another year has gone by. I look back at 2023 with a lot of gratitude for all that the universe has sent my way. The year reminded me again of my favourite Dalai Lama saying when he was asked about the biggest misconception that humans have – they think they have time! 2023…
Day 26 – 5 things that make me smile
I am a smiling person by disposition. My husband calls me the sunshine but that does put a lot of pressure in me as the mood in the home is dependent on how much sunshine I can dispense 😀 As I am always smiling, most people start asking questions and assume that something is wrong…
Day 25 – My Perfect Day
I long since stopped chasing perfection. It only adds to stress and anxiety. Instead I chase progress and improvement. So when I am describing my perfect day, it possibly will not go exactly as I am describing but close enough would do 🙂 My day would start by waking up after a full night sleep….
Day 24 – What worries me most?
I am not a worrier. I have never been the one to brood even as a child. I was called happy go lucky when I was young and as I grew older, I took life in my stride with all its disappointments, accolades and ups and downs. My mantra is let life flow and I…
Day 23 – Adding happiness in my daily life

Day 16 – What ignites your brain?
This question is very simple to answer for me – I get ignited by learning. I love the company of people where I can have open discussion and share varied points of view. I grew up in an environment where healthy debates were encouraged. We used to have all sorts of conversations on our dinner…
Day 15 – my favourite memories
Ahhh memories – that is what makes a rich life. I am lucky that I have a life full of memories where the good outnumber the bad! My favourite memories are of my childhood, growing up in a small town in simpler times. I grew up in a middle class family where we may not…
Day 13 – How have I changed in the past 3 years?
Change is the only constant. If you don’t change, you don’t grow. That is one thing I am proud of – I change and adapt and grow as I learn. And everyday life is the biggest teacher! One of the biggest thing I have learnt is about people. I am by nature a trusting person…
Day 12 – Three excuses I often make!
This is hard but one of the challenges I have set for myself is to be vulnerable and what better day to do it but my birthday blog! I always have excuse about time, or rather the lack of it. I know, like a lot of working woman, I am genuinely short of time juggling…
