Every move has a ripple
Every move is an effect
Everything is interconnected
Everything correlates
Touch a life, plant a seed
Make a positive difference
Create a ripple effect
Across the heart of life and living
Creating impacts for a better tommorow
In every postive move you make.

Here is a story share …
Play the battle Drums
A king had many elephants, but one elephant was very powerful, very obedient, sensible and skillful in fighting skills. In many wars, he was sent on the battlefield and he used to return only after getting victory to the king. Therefore, he was the most loved elephant of the king. Time went by and there came a time when the elephant started getting old. Now he was not able to perform as before. Therefore, now the kings did not even send him to the battlefield but still remain a part of his team.
One day the elephant went to the lake to drink water, but his feet got stuck in the mud there and then went on sinking. He tried a lot, but he could not remove himself from the mud. People came to know from the sound of his screams that the elephant was in trouble. The news of the trapping of the elephant also reached the king. All the people, including the king, gathered around the elephant and made various efforts to get him out. But after trying for a long time, there was no way out.
At that time, a old wise retired minister from the kings court was passing by seeing the king and the croud he thought of stopping and seeing what was tha matter. After a quick first inspection and speaking to the king he suggested to the king that the battle drums should be played around the lake. The listeners felt bizarre how the trapped elephant would come out by playing the drums. As soon as the drums of war started ringing, so did the change in the gesture of that troubled elephant.
At first, the elephant slowly stood up and then came out of the mud on his own, shocking everyone.
Reflection
There was no lack of physical ability in the elephant, only the need to infuse enthusiasm within
To maintain enthusiasm in life, it is necessary that humans maintain purposeful thinking & mindset and do not let despair dominate.
In today’s challenging times we all need to infuse ourselves & people around us with Hope & enthusiasm by playing the battle drums that we will again Celebrate Abundance of good health, Joy & Happiness tommorow.
Stop asking people how is tough times treating them instead share the happy moments and what interesting things are happening around you.
There is lots of good thing happening around.
Make sure the battle drums are played to declare not that a war has started but the victory in the battle of difficult times with the support of awesome people like you around.🙏
Started writing one word
But these three words came to mind.
Serenity
Sensibility
Serendipity
Would you care to leave a positive word?

Learnings from the Sun…
Being hopeful that there is a new dawn
Being awake to possibilities.
Being warm and cheerful by nature.
Sun is the epitome of the joys of light.
With its life affirming brilliant iridescence.
Learnings from the Moon
Being accepting of oneself as is
Being allowing of the changes
Being aware of what to let go.
Moon emotes through her phases every night.
Shining her beautiful moonbeam
across the night skies.
The moonlight soothing the soul.
Sun and Moon are celestial beings
One a sign of hope and positivity
The other a symbol of peace and reflecting calm.
Relentlessly appearing and disappearing every day and night,
In the circle of life and living.

Dinner under a lemon tree Capri
I saw this picture and paused…
For it spoke of abundance of being.
Of Sight, sense and smell.
Emoting in the sensing
Evoking in freshness of fragrance
Nature is abundance personified
Rewards aplenty, with fruits to share
The little joys of dining together
Socializing seem like a dream
With the world in its now from here.
Yet the picture paints cheer & hope.
Of giving and living generously.
Happiness is in the sensing
Have a wonderful weekend 😀

Any good deed in time
Leaves a heartprint forever
Planting is a thoughtful deed
Reaping a harvest of abundance
A seed to a bud, to beautiful blooms
Shade from the leaves & fruits to eat.
Every tree is a blessing of goodwill.
Time knows it all
And time shows it all at the right time.
Gratitude for the grace of goodwill.🙏

There is always a path meant for u

Is how it appears to be
Acknowledge the gifts of life
As they come to you in time.
For Colors make life come alive.

Came across this forward today….paints a very relevant picture of times we live in … do read.
Someone has nicely explained the irony in the present situation:
“ Never have I seen
such a mess in life.
The air is pure but
wearing a mask is
mandatory.
Roads are empty
but it is impossible
to go on long drive.
People have clean
hands but there is a
ban on shaking hands.
Friends have time to
sit together but they
cannot get together.
The cook inside you
is crazy, but you cannot
call anyone for lunch or
dinner.
Every Monday,
the heart longs to go out, but the weekend does not seem to end.
Those who have money
have no way to spend it.
Those who don’t have
money have no way to
earn it.
The culprit is all around
but cannot be seen.
A world full of irony!
Be positive but test negative.”
Life is a reflection of our way of living.
The attitudes, the thoughts we carry
The nature of our deeds
All is deeply significant to our states of being.
In depth of gratitude arises acknowledgement
Everything that is, has a reason
Nothing is accidental
In deep gratitude, there is clarity
Clearing the debris of uncertainty
Crystallizing the dimensions in-between
Every once in a while
Partaking in the profoundness of wisdom garnered
Beyond the apparitions
Illusions in the making
And the reality in the reflections
Flowing along in this river of time.
Savvy
Happiness is a state of being
The simple act of acknowledgement
Even in our little wins…
With a heart felt smile , a self hug,
All can create a positive impact
On our state of being.
Remember to celebrate yourself
You can change the way you feel
Make yourself available to you
Your life is a precious gift
Acknowledge, & Celebrate yourself.

We all want to be in the safe zone for ourselves and others.
Let us be mindful in this now and practice sanitation protocols to the best of our abilities from wherever we are.
But we also need to be empathically aware of the many who are doing their best to save lives.
Salute to all the selfless souls.
God be the protective shield of all the frontliners of the health, sanitation, essential services and many invisible heroes who are doing their best in spite of all odds. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

The world we see today
Is changing rapidly
New norms are setting in
We are in a state of flux
From fighting pandemic
To accepting lockdowns
As a way of being
People starved of socialization
Are appeased by bytes of reality
We are attuning ourselves
To being masked at all times
Practicing distancing and being indoors.
But life goes on no matter what
Sensitizing us to new ways of living
What matters most then is
Is that here we are, inspite of it all
We learn to align with ourselves
Moving with care and compassion
From here on empathy guides
Leading us to knowing ourselves.
This is the truth for us all
Of tommorow’s world.

To every question that arises
To every puzzle that confronts you.
Know you are entrusted with answers…
Deeply embedded with in you.
Simply trust in the knowing
It will deliver you the way.
The pathways will reveal itself
All in the right time and place.
All you need is trust in yourself …
And the courage to follow through.
But remember you have all the answers.

Positives in Negatives
A young woman was sitting at her dining table, worried about taxes to be paid, house-work to be done and to top it all, her extended family was coming over for festival lunch the next day. She was not feeling very thankful at that time.
As she turned her gaze sideways, she noticed her young daughter scribbling furiously into her notebook.
“My teacher asked us to write a paragraph on “Negative Thanks giving” for homework today,” said the daughter.
“She asked us to write down things that we are thankful for, things that make us feel not so good in the beginning, but turn out to be good after all.”
With curiosity, the mother peeked into the book. This is what her daughter wrote:
“I’m thankful for Final Exams, because that means school is almost over.
I’m thankful for bad-tasting medicine, because it helps me feel better.
I’m thankful for waking up to alarm clocks, because it means I’m still alive.”
It then dawned on the mother, that she had a lot of things to be thankful for!
She thought again…
She had to pay taxes but that meant she was fortunate to be employed.
She had house-work to do but that meant she had a shelter to live in.
She had to cook for her many family members for lunch but that meant she had a family with whom she could celebrate.
We generally complain about the negative things in life but we fail to look at the positive side of it.
Yes there is a positive in every negative .
What is the positive in your negatives? Look at the better part of life today and make everyday a great day.
Good Day 🌻
Be safe😷
So much wisdom in these two lines.
Speaking and listening is an elegant dance of words
As you hear more you are learning
And as you speak you are expressing
The power of what mere words can do
At the right time said in the right tone
To the right audience in all its simplicity of delivery
As much as in the profoundness of understanding
Taking time to understand
What matters before you speak
Taking time to know whom to say what
All is a dance, in the wisdom in the being
