My stories, My way
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…
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….
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…
