Day 30 – From Pinterest to Reality

Posted on August 31, 2022September 1, 2022 by sonalion

I struggled with this one as I do like to check out Pinterest, mostly for home decor and recipes. But I never copy things, which means that my reality is always different from Pinterest. But then I remembered that this idea of blogging for my birthday month came from Pinterest. So, this is the closest…

Day 20 – Share an old Blog

Posted on August 20, 2022August 20, 2022 by sonalion

I love writing my blog and reading them back later. So many times o have read my blogs and reflected on my state of mind at the time. I love doing set challenges as that helps my train of thoughts around writing. It gives me a topic to write everyday that helps. Over the years…

Day 17 – Guilty Pleasure

Posted on August 17, 2022August 17, 2022 by sonalion

Now this is a great blog post to write. I am full of guilty pleasures and I am happy to own up to them too! My top guilty pleasure would be Indian fast food – I can gobble it any time of the day. Pakode, samose, chaat, momos, chow mein- you name it! I love…

Day 15 – A day in my life

Posted on August 15, 2022August 15, 2022 by sonalion

These days, I wish I had more than 24 hours in a day! That pretty much sums up the day in my life – it is busy. I am not a great sleeper – so my day usually begins early. When I wake up, I read the news, catch up on overnight texts from family…

Day 14 – My blogging story

Posted on August 14, 2022August 14, 2022 by sonalion

My blogging story started in 2008. I was a young mom, at home with a new born boy, with very little adult company. I did not know much about blogging but loved to read. Blogs were becoming popular at the time and one of my good friends Nell started writing about her travels and life….

February 2022

Posted on March 5, 2022May 21, 2022 by Sonali

I cannot believe that the second month of this brand new year is already over. I do concede it is the shortest month but the weeks seems to be zipping. The month for me was a bit of a hit and miss. I continued my walks and listening to podcasts but there were days I…

Z – Zest

Posted on August 27, 2021August 27, 2021 by sonalion

Z is for zest – that unbridled passion and energy for something. I have zest for positivity in my life. As I say, I don’t need any drugs or alcohol, I am high on life and there ain’t a better high! As you must have seen a pattern in my posts, it doesn’t come easy….

Y – You

Posted on August 25, 2021August 26, 2021 by sonalion

Y is for You! Everything starts and ends here. There is a Shloka in Bhagvad Geeta – Akele aaye hain and akele hi jaana hai – we come to the world alone and leave it alone. It doesn’t translate that we should be alone but the fact that it is very important to think about…

X – XO

Posted on August 24, 2021August 25, 2021 by sonalion

X is for XO which stands for hugs and kisses in popular culture. I started researching as to how it came about. The internet has many theories – it seems X resembles lip lock and O looks like two people embracing. I cannot see it but symbolism has always been interesting. I am a big…

V – Vulnerability

Posted on August 23, 2021 by sonalion

V is for vulnerability – our biggest strength. Showing vulnerability is about displaying your authentic self to the world. And what can be more powerful than that? Vulnerability helps us make human connections. We can easily spot insincerity and fakeness from a mile away. By showing our authentic self to people, we easily attract positive…
