June 2024

Posted on June 30, 2024August 15, 2024 by Sonali

I am penning my blog after almost 6 months. I am not sure why I stopped but the vacation made me think about reviving it again. I like blogging; it is therapeutic for me and I liken it to Pensieve, as described in Harry Potter. I love going back and reading and reflecting on it….

Day 14 – My biggest achievement

Posted on August 15, 2023August 15, 2023 by Sonali

My first thought to this question was giving birth to yash and raising him. But I can’t call that MY biggest achievement as that is OUR achievement. My husband, while did not go through the pain of birth, has been Yash’s primary carer for majority of his life. My biggest achievement is settling in a…

Day 5 – What do you want to accomplish?

Posted on August 5, 2023 by Sonali

Day 15 – A day in my life

Posted on August 15, 2022August 15, 2022 by Sonali

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 Sonali

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….

The blog title stumped me today as I wasn’t sure what to write coz the must have item is different based on what I am doing. So I thought I will chronicle my must have items when I am leaving home. The five things I don’t leave home without My phone – my phone is…

Day 9 – My Life Motto

Posted on August 9, 2022August 9, 2022 by Sonali

Just like life, what you pursue in life keeps changing too. How you grow, the events in life change as time passes and that means your life motto shifts too. But if you have strong values, they remain the guiding force for your life. Your priorities change but the foundation remains strong to support them….

Posted on August 27, 2021August 27, 2021 by Sonali

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….
