Trees store secrets
Echoing in the echelons
In their barks and trunks
In the leaves and stems
In them is a wealth of wisdom
Of times gone by
To discover for the future…
Nurture nature
Save trees.

Being Human
To all those who seek perfection in every little thing that they sometimes drive themselves and others crazy.
Ease in and let go for a bit, see others as they are , not as you want them to be.
We are all vulnerable beings.
We are humans after all, let us be supportive and celebrate the power of humanity to overcome challenges that appear along the way.
We are powerful in acknowledging our respective situation from where we are and working amicably towards finding resolutions.
After all besides every thing else,the world needs humanity to overcome the challenges of being human.
Irony of life
Love
Those who find love
Don’t bother to nurture it
Love starts losing value..
Children
Those who have many children
Find it challenging to rear them
And then there are those
Who ache for the blessing of a child
Health
Those who are in the pink of health
Take it for granted
And then there are those who want nothing more than the wealth of health.
Wealth
Those who have the means of wealth
Find no meaning in it
And search for a meaningful life
And those who have no means
Are struggling to live each day.
Loss
Those who are grieving
Remember their lost companion
Those who have a partner
Forget there is one.
Despair
Those who are broken
Know the value of living
To acknowledge the life.
In every moment.
Every life is different
Yet such is the irony of life
That often life is lost in living it.
And those who choose to live it lovingly and value the preciousness are truly rare…

A time for you
Then & Now
Then and now
Then I had manicured hands
Fingers always maintained
With perfectly painted nails 💅
Now I like them as they are
Functional and neatly cut.
Then I wore high heels
To make me feel more stylish
Now I have a style I call my own
High heels I no longer need or buy.
Then I was yet to experience life
Too sensitive to a fault…
Now I have come of my own
Upholding my health over stressors
Emboldened enough to stand by me.
And today, another solar cycle older
Wiser or not is left for you to say,
But this I know from living
Half way and more in life.
No matter the then & now
What is, is what matters.
In you, is what you need.
Life is what you make of it.
Every now is precious enough to fill it with gratitude.
Savvy
All of you
Each day of life
Brings forth many moments
Like no two waves are the same
The good tidings of your life
Come and envelope you
When you least expect it
Surf them with joy
Know they come to you
As and when they are meant to
Be present in the moment
Enjoy them wholeheartedly
Bring all of you to sense the good.

Truths & facades
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
Acknowledge
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.

So you are angry?
So you are angry?
Now what?
Do you think it is helping you ?
For anger never helps
It only hurts .
Here are six things you can do for balancing your emotions and feeling better.
1.Become Aware that you are reacting than responding in your anger is the first step
2.Counting backwards from 20 to 1.
3. Removing yourself from the place you are feeling angry even for a short while by going for a short walk helps settle your emotions.
4. Switch words is a technique to use feeling oriented words to create powerful change of emotions with imagery to manage anger.
For example a positive word like Happy can evoke different feelings.
Or words like ‘take it easy ‘can evoke a sense of ease.
5. Better still is taking to chanting mantras, or hearing your favorite upbeat music , or even Journaling.
6. If nothing else imagining ocean tides in a flow and breathing deeply, in and out even for a few minutes eases the tense body & mind.
Remember to acknowledge your emotions as there is more harm in suppression. As you find healthy pathways to manage your anger, you bring wellbeing into your life
Live life lovingly💙

On Night
On Friendships
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

Daring to bare the truth
Without colours of envy.
True friends matter
To each and every 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?

How to manage a difficult conversation?
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?

Gifts of Life
Life pans out uniquely each day for us.
And yet every life has its ups & downs
It is how we see it
That makes us who we are.
In the journey of life
Life supports and encourages us
By offering many visible and hidden
Gifts along our paths.
Recognize and value them
For they are meant for us.
It is up to us to become aware of it
For us to sense & know…
And most of all
Every life is a gift
Value the life
You have.

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.
