On a moonlit night
Embalmed in its luminescence.
Bathed in its argent glow
Graced by the peace in the beam
Radiance lingers in its pearlescent reflection
Drawing us to look upwards
As we are enveloped by its lovely light.

It was like a painting
That I could not forget
In the streets of Paris
Where artists paint
In passionate fervour.
The stark shape of lines
Bold colors that speak
Of the creator’s confidence.
The play of contrasts
In the light & dark.
The arresting silhouette
Almost molded to form.
An awe-inspiring design.
Displayed in the window
It caught my eye…
The dress was mesmerizing
No, not in a delicate way
It was quite the opposite.
It spoke to me
Of a certain power play
It had me thinking
Who will don it?
Power in a dress?
A dress can do much for your confidence
You can own the dress and the world …
With the right kind of dress.
Would you agree?
And tell me…
When I started the above poem with the line
It was like a painting…
Did you think it could be about a dress ?
If you did…
Did you think of it as something that flowed with beauty?
And what else would your imagination associate with a beautiful painting, I would love to know.

As you choose to fly free
As you brave new winds
As you discover new horizons
Always remember who has your back.
The bonds of love are there for a reason…
To be nurtured and cherished by its sheer presence
For to be lovingly supported is a blessing of grace.

You are not defined
By riches or possessions.
You are defined
By the attitude you carry.
Anchored in faith
No matter the storm.
You are defined
By the energy you emanate…
In the choices you make,
In the decisions you take.
Way beyond circumstances.
It is a quality of the spirit.
Greater the refinement,
Greater the grace.

A question in reflection…
When the world outside gets chaotic, what is that within you that keeps you anchored?
A blessed mindset
Think it, feel it, emote it
Sense it, move with it
Soon you make others feel it.
People sense confidence
In your voice and demeanor
They know there is purpose
And clarity in your ways.
Creating energy that elevates
As you embody you emanate
Without much hesitation
You attract abundance
In the blessed mindset
And aligned in gratitude.
You sense and create oneness.

Trust is what holds us together
Faith leads our way
Belief begets action
Hope brings limitless optimism
Care creates consideration
Truth brings credence.
Love bonds boundlessly
Each creates the values of being.

Growing on an uncharted path,
All by yourself
Blossoming from inner faith
A strength of belief
Rises you up from within
That you project to the world
Sharing hope and happiness
So, like the delicate flowers
So full of perseverance
Arising from bud to bloom
Dancing with the wind
Come rain or sun…
You share as you grow…
Beauty is in and around you
Radiating for all to see…
The light of the source.
I am sharing this hopegiving poem I just wrote.
We are all beings of light, moving towards our purpose in our own unique ways. With so much hope within each of us to know and understand along the way…
May we acknowledge and bloom in the light of the source we are created from.

Its not pride. It’s dignity,
That you need with you.
Much is the difference between .
In no uncertain moment
Lose your sense of dignity.
For dignity is divine
For it embodies your spirit & soul
Pride is just a human emotion.
If ever you face a situation
Where anothers words & deeds
Leave you broken
Remember its just your pride & ego
That feels deflated in the moments.
It’s just a phase of life it will pass.
Your dignity stays with you
In the way you handle
With no loss of grace
Stay dignified, stay graceful.
Savvy
Keep the flame burning bright 🔥
Rise up to the moment at hand
Have hope feed the faith
For the day is not done.

Hopegiving & motivational words that serve as a reminder to self.
Feel free to share with whomever you think needs it at this moment.
Let not the problems that come by boggle you .
Know time has all the answers
Keep the faith.
Let not the hear and say affect you.
There is always more than what is said or heard.
So much more.
Let not the passion for whatever you do dwindle
Rest & recharge yourself & keep the spirit alive.
Let not the weight of what you carry pull you down.
You are definitely not defined by how much you bear.
You are much more than that.
So go ahead, aspire to transform yourself for the better
And keep moving closer to your dreams.
Taking a step in time.
And most importantly, trust in yourself
For there is always so much more
To you, for you & by you.

To dance is to move with all of you.
To dance is to have hope in the living.
To dance is to feel the spirit of life in the movement.
To dance is to know the value of time.
To dance is to feel the rhythm in the beat.
To dance is to sense the subtlety of life.
To dance is to acknowledge the life in every moment.
I share a capture of one of the International Dance Research Congress, that I was honoured to have attended in Athens.
Today is celebrated as the International Day of Dance…
Yet everyday I am thankful… and deeply grateful to the art of dance in bringing positive difference to my life.
Thankful to dance in my life, & all the wonderful people I have been priveleged to meet, connect, learn & share my passion for dance… 🙏✨

A leap of faith Is what makes life a life.
Take the chances
That you choose to let go. Be intentional
So that life doesn slip away.
Take the chance
May be they turn out the best decision of your life.
They say opportunity does not knock twice..
So take a leap of faith.
So when you hear the calling of your heart & soul..
Trust you can and you can!

There is much going on behind a smile or a tear
As much as there is behind an act of aggression or care.
Truths that lie just over the bend
Masked in a show of strength
A veil may cover the apparent
But the body never lies.
It leaves imprints of expression
In every moment of now .
Truths that cannot be shared
Truths that needs to be dared
The body wisdom takes over
To make it through
To the truths over the facades.

I came across this interesting link share in my feed today. Do check
As humans we are always exploring and discovering possibilities. Sometimes we understand much in no time, and take the right steps, and at other times we mis the bus.
Acknowledge the wins & the misses.
Every step missed is brimming with a lesson.
If we choose to pay attention every failure teaches us something.
On where we want to be,
On how far we are, from where we want to go.
Question is are we ready to acknowledge failure as a part of the learning process?
Every success can be attributed to the many experiences that may have had many lessons and the effort taken to succeed.
And if there is propensity and determination to take the effort, there are many pathways that lead us beyond failure.
I like this saying by Mary Ash, I came across recently which presents a fresh perspective on failure.
‘For every failure, there’s an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.’
Acknowledge where and how you are.
You will find your own path.

In the course of my career over the years handling teams of various departments, people management became my forte while experiencing many instances which needed agility in communication.
Here are few pointers…
If you can help it thoroughly prepare yourself with research so that you are prepared to handle any objections well.
Try to choose when and where to have a difficult conversation.
Always start with a positive mindset and speak with concern without blaming .
Make sure you are clear about what you want to communicate. And deliver your stance clearly without any ambiguity.
Speak in the right tone as per the situation.
Listen actively well to acknowledge emotions and understand so you can respond than react.
If there is too much tension or another impasse it is alright to pause, take a short timely break to diffuse tension and then recoup
Be focussed on what you wish to communicate and steer the conversation if it veers off topic.
Be open to alternatives and perspectives and see if you can find common ground to stay flexible to foster collaboration.
Resolve issues find win win solutions & clear issues.
Do you remember any instances of difficult conversations you have had? How did you manage it?
