There is so much more to thankfulness
Your mind body and spirit
Are integrated in the emotions
Your life becomes more abundant
Your health improves along the way
For you hold not expression or suppress feelings
You appreciate what needs to be appreciated
You create circles of light hope and joy in thankfulness.
Make sure to add yourself in your list of thankfulness.

In every relationship
Family, friendship or at work
All is a matter of values
We inculcate through life.
When it all starts from respect
And ends with respect.
There is dignity of being
In a world distanced in reality
By technology and internet
Increasing the screentimes
And enslaving people
There is much need
To use it to our advantage
Than be redundant with it.

On Serendipity
A delightful start to the day came from a sensational photo share on Serendipity by a friend Amina Alami.
Serendipity appears for us to sense from nowhere… Juxtaposed in the joy of the discovery.
Speaking of Serendipity… I am sharing a flow of thoughts coincidentally…
There is always a reason
Nothing is accidental they say
Yet much occurs in goodwill & coincidence
In being in the moment
You are ready to give and receive
With all of you.
In being able to flow with the changes
You begin to see beyond the challenges
Life is what you can make of it
When the intentions are pleasant
There is always something salibrious
That you can find without searching
Sense the Serendipity flowing your way!
Carpe diem, Seize the moment!
Live life Lovingly!

This tree is uniquely shaped and there is always a reason to be…
There is much in the pattern.
With angles that self-balance.
Supported in the shaping.
To survive the storm.
Swaying in the wind.
So full of spaces in between
To evolve and to grow.
With confidence of connection
Rooted in a solid foundation.
The tree find its own flow
Paving the pathway
Manifesting its uniqueness.
It finds its purpose of being.
Likewise to an organization
That grows steadfast in trust
In strength of the structure.
Spreading its wings in faith
For when the roots are strong
And potential is nurtured
In valuing the roots
In acceptance of the new… There is freedom to expand.
With fresh perspective at play
Every leader owns an angle towards sustainability.
Great leaders may pitch great angles of perspective.
But a great team is formed by great people.
Like every living part of a tree is significant to the whole tree.
Every individual is valuable to the organization.
Every perspective matters to the cohesive whole.
A great read by my friend Ali Anani prompted me to write this post.
So much wisdom from nature in every form if we choose to see.

There is a dance
In every leaf and flower
In every bud and bloom
In every twig and tree
In every turn and twist
In every life in the living
Of natures creation.
There is grace of uniqueness
Of patterns, of wisdom Beyond compare…
All knowing, all pervading
Magnificent Omnipresence.
Amazing Nature
Amazing Grace.

We are bonded in a connection
By infinite fibers between us
Both visible & Invisible
At times tangible in the feeling
Some times palpable in the sensing
But it takes an acknowledgement
Of the beauty of us beyond the I.
Savvy
We are all mere wind in a shell
Winding &unwinding
Our thoughts in every now
We are travellers shoring our souls
One beach to another
Evolving along the way…

I wrote these lines as a response to a comment on my earlier post .I came across it today and felt it was just apt with the image above.
This now is full of infinite possibilities
For every day is replete with potential
Whatever the path you take
Your life’s moments are a gift
You are meant to sense
So care to take a moment
To acknowledge the gifts
Of this moment as it is
See how everything connects
To every thing else.
And if you truly wish
You can create more moments
Of joy and light in & around u
Start simply by a practice
Of acknowledging this moment in this now..
Make today count!

Stories from Life and Living
In this series I share stories that are thought provoking, inspiring, motivational or touching our lives in some way or the other.
Better late than never
My mom had a lot of problems. She did not sleep and she felt exhausted. She was irritable, grumpy, and bitter. She was always sick, until one day, suddenly, she changed.
The situation was the same, but she was different.
One day my dad said to her:
– I’ve been looking for a job for three months and I haven’t found anything, I’m going to have a few beers with friends.
My mom replied:
– It’s okay.
My brother said to her:
– Mom, I’m doing poorly in all subjects at the University …
My mom replied:
– Okay, you will recover, and if you don’t, well, you repeat the semester, but you pay the tuition.
My sister said to her:
– Mom, I hit the car.
My mom replied:
– Okay daughter, take it to the workshop, find how to pay and while they fix it, get around by bus or subway.
Her daughter-in-law said to her:
– Mother-in-law, I come to spend a few months with you.
My mom replied:
– Okay, settle in the living room couch and look for some blankets in the closet.
All of us at my mom’s house gathered worried to see these reactions.
We suspected that she had gone to the doctor and that she was prescribe some pills of “I don’t give a damn about 1000 mg.”
She would probably also be ingesting an overdose.
We then proposed to do an “intervention” to my mother to remove her from any possible addiction she had towards some anti-tantrum medication.
But what was not the surprise, when we all gathered around her and my mom explained:
“It took me a long time to realize that each person is responsible for their life, it took me years to discover that my anguish, my mortification, my depression, my courage, my insomnia and my stress, did not solve their problems but aggravated mine.
I am not responsible for the actions of others, but I am responsible for the reactions I express to that.
Therefore, I came to the conclusion that my duty to myself is to remain calm and let each one solve what corresponds to them.
I have taken courses in yoga, meditation, miracles, human development, mental hygiene, vibration and neurolinguistic programming, and in all of them, I found a common denominator: finally they all lead to the same point.
And, it is that I can only interfere with myself, you have all the necessary resources to solve your own lives.
I can only give you my advice if you ask me and it depends on you to follow it or not.
So, from now on, I cease to be: the receptacle of your responsibilities, the sack of your guilt, the laundress of your remorse, the advocate of your faults, the wall of your lamentations, the depositary of your duties, who should solve your problems or spare a tire every time to fulfill your responsibilities.
From now on, I declare all independent and self-sufficient adults.
Everyone at my mom’s house was speechless.
From that day on, the family began to function better, because everyone in the house knows exactly what it is that they need to do.

A HAPPY WOMAN!!( pls feel free to share)
Coloring all the way
Every flower speaks its truth
As much as every part of nature
Finding its own identity
Like day and night
Dusk and dawn
Colored through myriad hues of light
Creating hope and beauty of life
Nature says, in the most colorful way,
Flow through the day
Express your self uniquely along the way!
Happy Festival of Colors
Happy Holi!
Savvy
Dare to dream and walk on
Continue to persevere
In patience and passion
In faith and belief
In hope and trust
There is much good
You are meant to do
In your journey of life
Doubt not your ability
No matter the naysayers
For there will be plenty
Of those who will say so…
But very few who help
You do, what you do
In perseverance & patience
You create your purpose
And you find yourself
In possibilities.
It’s all possible because you know in your heart you can…
Savvy
It’s all in the nurturing
Plant a life in hope
Nurture seeds of compassion
Water it everyday with kind deeds
Nourish the roots with care Enrich it with love for life
What you plant in your heart becomes you
And you reap what you sow
Now the question is what are you nurturing in this now ?
And what do you want to nurture today?
