Your birth is not the only time you are born
You are born in every moment of awareness
You are born in every conscious breath.
You are born in the pain and the pleasures of living life.
You are born in every deed of compassion & kindness.
You are born in the joy of both inclusion and expansion.
You are born in the moments of heartfelt connections.
The truth is you can birth yourself in every now.
Align your breath with presence.

One Good Word…
As readers and writers, we experience a dual bliss: the joy of discovering writing that deeply resonates, and the quiet fulfillment of reflecting on our own words and the connections they create.
It is a beautiful thing to share our creative gifts with the world. Yet, what is most profound is the heart of the person…reader or writer, alike who takes the moment to offer a word of kindness or appreciation. A single good word has the power to change someone’s day for the better.
Expression is a gentle pathway to healing. Whether it is a pen dancing across paper, a brush gliding with color, or feet tracing patterns upon the earth, the joy of movement is our shared thread.
Reaching out from within ourselves to share is not always easy, even if deeply fulfilling. It demands our energy, our time, and our vulnerable spirit. Yet to withhold our voices or suppress these expressions would be a tragic loss indeed.
It is truly inspiring to read, to write, and to honor the transformative power of words in all their creative manifestations.
What is one “good word” or simple phrase someone once shared with you that stayed in your heart when you needed it most?
True friends trust
In each other
They find comfort
And care to share & listen
The truth of what it is
Without fear or favour
For they know the value
Of authentic advice
Without frills and fancies
Daring to bare the truth
Without colours of envy.
True friends matter
To each and everv one of us
We are better because of them
In trust, love, care & faith
Count the blessings
Of true friends in this now.
How many such true friends can one count in life?
Only yesterday I witnessed a friendship that stood the test of time and renewed itself in faith & trust.
I thought to myself how important it is to acknowledge the preciousness of true friends as much as to become a true friend that one can count on.

As you go through daily life.
Just care to remind yourself
That you are being watched over
And cared for…
This simple habit will bring you immense peace.
And you will transmit universal love.
Peace be with you.

What is dancing to you ?
A series of steps
Or a conversation
Without words?
Dance is a connection
To the rhythm within
That moves you
To find yourself.
In dance is the magic
Of tuning into harmony.
Whatever the form
Dance moves you
Heart & soul
To your truth .

Peace within
Peace outside
Is the ideal to thrive on
To sense peace
Inside outside
Is always a work in progress.
In caring to choose thoughts well
Action emnating in goodwill
Changes the narrative
From doubts to clarity.
Let peace reign
Inside outside

Connection is the root of compassion
When the heart senses alignment
Inside and outside
Everything begins to make sense
In the lightness of being
There is grace in the movements
Every thing flows as its meant to…
Spirited in connectedness
With hearts of compassion.

When mind is over matter

Tending & nurturing
Are deeply intertwined
Birthed in care

Healing the spirit & soul
Have you ever wondered
What is it in your life
That needs tending & nurturing?

Mistakes we all make
In life there are ups , downs
But stability comes
In knowing where you are.
What you are doing
How you are feeling
Doing what you do.
And course correcting
In case it feels not quite there.
Then in sharing your thoughts
Your life’s learning
To those on the path next
It’s a way of opening hearts
To express without fear of ridicule
Even if your misses are many,
And roads made you lose ur way
You still found yourself
And are here breathing
Living in this now .
So there, do try to own your truths
Misses and wins
You share as you learn
And learn as you share.
Savvy
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.

A ladder is a link
A point of interconnections
A bridge between two sides
Between two opposites.
A ladder is not always to climb
A ladder leads you to connect
But the choice is yours
If you want to lead or be led by it.
Climb the ladder with confidence
Continue to bridge over challenges
Meet the changes with integrity
Dare the new horizons in hope.
Savvy
Do good
And when you do
Think not of acknowledgement
Nor recognition
Do good
From the goodness of your heart
And you will find joy in it.
Make it a practice everyday
To do at least one good deed .
And soon it will become a habit
That happens naturally
And just know
In time…
You will do good anyway
Savvy
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… 🙏✨
