Good mentors
Guide people to mend themselves
At best they teach and nurture
Showing the pathways and gaps
To be adaptable and agile
They don’t break people
They build them up.
With empathy and goodwill
For those yet on their way.

Power of love
The frequencies of love is so powerful that it can heal wounds, and create harmony in and around us.
If you truly intend to choose the power of love over all else, you will find your life path turn magical .
Such is the beauty of a loving heart
Spark of the divine
Power of Imagination takes you places. It’s your choice where you want to be or go. It’s in you what you choose to imagine .
Divine Sparks
Simply imagine the infinite power of possibilities of the soul. And the pinnacle and the depths of infinite potential .The greatest depths is of the soul within… a spark of the divine!
Journey within :
As one deepens the focus in the inward journey of awareness, greater empathy is felt for the world outside , and when the focus is towards the outer materialistic world the focus turns towards being more self centered than self aware.

High heels any one?
Watch this… Quite self explanatory
As a Ballroom dance lover and teacher I have worn heels to teach, but in time I stopped wearing high heels.
While competition dances may have the specific shoes as a necessity, teaching people of all ages and from all walks of life to dance, it becomes imperative to care to teach them to dance safe.
Dancing must be enjoyable not cumbersome . If you are the kind who would like a bit of heel , do wear for you own joy once in a while ,but do take care of your feet in the longer run.
Many women wear heels to dance but pay a huge price in terms of their health especially if it’s uncomfortable to them.
Over the years, I have been dancing many Latin dances and teaching them without high heels as I realise it’s just an accessory and not a necessity . There are many smooth soled shoes without resorting to stilettos which works out just fine, than high heels.
While many feel high heels gives confidence and gait which seems attractive truly it’s just a commercial phenomenon.
A great pair of dancing shoes must support your feet and ankles, while moving in any directions and give a smooth momentum for your turns, flicks and swivels.
If you are a dancer or have danced in heels what are your experiences, do share.
On intentions
Are you feeling a sense of purpose
Are you keen on a purposeful life
Then question yourself
Are you effective?
If you value your life
And know you are not just born
There is always a path you can create
Towards actualizing your intention.
If you are effective in the way you choose to accomplish it
You can make the best of what God has gifted you .

Are you feeling lonesome and blue?
Are you lonely and perhaps feeling lost?
Are you afraid of being lonely?
Loneliness is a silent killer.
Not easy to deal with. It can catch you when you are least aware.And it may seem challenging with the changing season.
Every person alive might have to battle it in different degrees one time or another in their lifetime .
Often it may be, the fear of ending up alone that people make wrong personal choices.
Often those very choices are the reason one feels lonely.
For there are times you can be feeling lonely in a room full of people.
Sometimes you have a life partner but feel there is no true companionship.
Sometimes you are actually alone with nobody around and hence feel lonely.
Circumstances may be different and varied for every one but the condition is one, of being lonely.
There is a thoughtworthy words I read, that comes to mind on loneliness.
Loneliness is the poverty of the self
Solitude is the richness of the self.
Now that changes the perspective doesn’t it .
What you envision your life, life becomes, such is the power of visualization and intention.
No matter where you are or who you are with,
Remember, you are never truly lonely if you flip the script…
Think you have you
Value the life you have
You are alive as yet
And you are enough for you.

The amount of work is the same

Life changing moment
Speaking about few years ago, getting a major surgery that was absolutely necessary was life changing. It improved the quality of my life. I reclaimed my life became even more alive, post it.
Though I chose not to focus on the difficulties, I do have a lesson learned.
Lesson : Address health issues as they come in.Never ignore or delay what is necessary. It only complicates. It has been a blessing and I always will thank my doctor for this second lease of life I have.
Grateful 🙏
Take care of your self.
What is your one life changing moment?
On Conflict Resolutions
Building bridges of understanding
Listen first. Give your opponents a chance to talk. Let them finish. Do not resist, defend or debate. This only raises barriers. Try to build bridges of understanding”. Dale Carnegie
Have you managed and resolved conflicts in virtual teams? If so, you will agree on how much communication matters in building bridges of understanding.
On Virtual Conflict Resolutions
Conflicts and its resolution are part of teams dynamics. An empathic approach to that is inclusive, non-judgemental, proactive and open to establishing safe discussion spaces creates positive outcomes in virtual scenarios.
In virtual team management scenario, it is important to define and understand what matters to each person or team to find the path forward. Creating a mutual connection virtually bridges over misunderstanding, encourages trust and strengthens relationships, leading to positive communication.
Being objective, mindful and awareof unconscious biases that influence perception helps create a roadmap towards resolutions.

Waves
In the waves lies the secret of creation. Walter Russell
The waves signify freedom
Of flow in the movements
In the rise ad fall
In the swing and sway
Waves are all about change
Like no two moments are alike
No two waves are alike
Each shaped in the momentum
Of its own path in the making
Gliding through in grace
Like swivelling sands
And twirling tides…
In the highs and lows
Each creatings it’s own destiny.
Fear not the waves of time
As it comes so it goes
Leaving lessons in its wake
So much to learn and unlearn.

On leadership.
Poignant truths to remember for all leaders
You are human and not a machine and so is your team.
You are here to lead, not here to be liked by all.
You will also make mistakes, and that is how you learn
You will adapt as you cannot control everything, some things are unavoidable and sooner you acknowledge it the better.
You will be challenged by a few in inexplicable ways , but these experiences will empower you.
Your teams will outgrow you in time, even if you have invested your all in them .
You will learn how to sustain in the letting go , that is the way of evolving with change.
And most of all the higher you climb the lonelier you will feel.
Be prepared to manage it.
Timeless thoughts
Our thoughts make us
Who we are
The way we think
Becomes us.
Our thoughts are powerful
For they travel far
Thoughts make all the difference.
Think well
Live well.

Self Healing
Head to toe
Toe to head
Breathe it out
Let it go..
Heal overwhelm
Heal overthinking
Heal your heart
Heal yourself
In the mixed bag of lides emotions
Some get felt a little too deeply
Embedding itself into the psyche.
And affecting thoughts & actions
Emotions too need release
Unshackle to let go and free up
Cut the cord of emotions
Before they overwhelm you.
Find some time to breathe it out
To process and reflect & let go
To exhale the unwanted emotions.
And heal your heart .
