Gratitude is always worth it.

Moving heart and mind
To acknowledge the abundance
I am Grateful.


There are few gifts
Of life in the living
Like the joy of laughter
Like the happiness of smiles
Like the sharing of loving kindness
Like the sensing of gratitude
They add to your life
They heal your being
Body mind and Soul.
The more you have it
And live expressing it
The better the health of your heart.
A good thought
A good deed
A good laugh
And all is well
In the lightness of being.
Sensing my share of these gifts.
Are you?
Savvy

How beautiful is that…
When we turn our thoughts
To trusting the infinite
In hope and faith
In the abundance.
Gratitude is powerful
In the realms between
Intention & Imagination
In conscious awareness
Powered in possibilities
In the intersection
Of faith and trustfulness.
Gratefulness transforms
Thoughts, words & deeds
Bringing fresh perspectives
In the way of seeing.
Bringing forth a sense
Of thankfulness
Enriching the spirit & soul
Cultivating Gratitude
And connecting in grace
Is a beautiful attitude
In life & living.

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 am thankful…to the art of dance 💃

It is always wonderful to be acknowledged and appreciated. For the power of appreciation creates positive intentions and further channelizes creativity to flow even more meaningfully for a larger purpose.
The reason is after the first wave of elation over having received an award nomination you start realizing the responsibility of every word you are putting out there and how it can actually carry the power to transform thoughts if you want it to! And that’s truly incredible!
I would like to specially thank stylethatright for nominating me for this award.
Truly grateful to receive this nomination from her .
Do check out the blog https://stylethatright.wordpress.com/ as she shares her engaging and empowering posts on styling, beauty among st other interesting things.
What is a Mystery Blogger Award?
The creator of this award, Okoto Enigma, says “It’s an award for amazing bloggers with ingenious posts. Their blog not only captivates; it inspires and motivates. They are one of the best out there, and they deserve every recognition they get. This award is also for bloggers who find fun and inspiration in blogging, and they do it with so much love and passion.
The Rules
Here are the rules for the award which I have to mention:
Put the award logo/image on your blog.
List the rules.
Thank whoever nominated you and provide a link to their blog.
Tell your readers 3 things about yourself.
Answer the questions you were asked.
Nominate 10 – 20 people & notify.
Ask your nominees any 5 questions of your choice; with one weird or funny question (specify).
3 things about myself:
I am a happy go lucky type of person.
I am a peoples person and enjoy meaningful conversations and always find time to actually listen.
I am an intuitive person. I believe it to be a gift and often trust my senses and am deeply grateful about it .
These are the questions which were asked to me:
1: What is your idea of a perfect life?
Will answer this question earnestly…being a dance educator, balance in the being tops my list so as much as activity and movement is important to me on a regular basis, I believe a perfect life would be about enjoying the balance of the rest and movement in our lives. For in those spaces between the steps is an opportunity to appreciate the life we have and replenish with gratitude and contentment.
2: Why you started blogging and what is your favourite genre?
I remember writing a lot of poems in my years at school which at times were even published in the school papers and college magazines that gave me a momentum and then I realized it would make sense to have them all in one place as a body of work in time, that’s when I started blogging.
Well, I do enjoy writing in any form but I find a great sense of connect, in writing my thoughts as poetry.
3:If you were to celebrate your birthday with five celebrities who would you like to celebrate with and why?
Have never had any craze for the company of celebrities of any kind. And birthdays are preferably spent amidst family friends and my students. Yet to answer the question without naming anyone, in particular, it would be nice to include for their entertainment value, one celebrity from each of these categories, a famous ballroom dancer a latin dancer, a singer a guitarist, a pianist and a drummer.
Well guess I am truly set then for my perfect party!:-))
4: What is the most funniest moment of your life?(funny)
A lot of funny moments happen every now that sometimes I feel my life is one laugh a riot…. and then some more, but to remember one funny incident. Well, I was in 8th grade and was the captain of my school’s volleyball team.I was truly passionate about the game and would regularly practice with great dedication and pretty much excelled at the game.So we were often chosen and sent to play in tournaments across the city. In one such selection process, I went to play in the tournament held in one of the city college campuses. I was passed off by my selectors as a member of a working women team. I played that game as their vice-captain. We won that match and I couldn’t help smiling to myself as I went up the dais to receive the certificate as they were all so much older than me …the whole team had a huge laugh after the match about it all! Till today I have no idea how I ended up playing that particular match in the first place!!
5: Your favourite pastime?
Besides writing poetry and drawing, dancing on one of my favourite songs.. and at times with it in my thoughts as I often find myself joyfully thinking of patterns and steps for a song when I hear music that I happen to like. So yes that tops the list of my favourite pastimes.
I would like to nominate these blogs for the Mystery Blogger Award: I wish them the best in their endeavours.

Here are a few questions for you…
1: What does your perfect day look like?
2: If you had only one match and entered a Cold and Dark room, and there was an oil heater, an oil lamp and a candle, which would you light first?
3: Can you adapt smoothly to changing realities and if so what is your biggest strength?
4: Are you someone who works well on a team, or prefer to work on your own?
5: What ridiculously fun thing has someone tricked you into doing or believing?
I would like to thank everyone who is reading following and visiting my blog. I am still learning how to be a good writer. Hope this year is wonderful for us all!!! 💙

Sense beauty in this moment

A vision a verse by Savvy Raj
Thoughts may seem powered by their own momentum
A concentrated effort of combining thoughts
Perhaps connecting these dots
Is not a random exercise after all.

Add belief add faith
add trust, some hope
The power to choose one thought over another
Is the intentional shift called a conscious choice.
Savvy Raj

About the Author:
A mail to me this morning made me stop and smile and tap into gratitude with all my heart.
It was from my reader and friend now over the years, Robert Mason, who has been extremely supportive of my journey through the visions and verses.
A share of kindness and appreciation can be the spring well of creativity.
A few lines in dedication to this kind and caring soul…
My dear patron,
Your compliments inspire me on my path
Your words encourage & your belief supports
Recently you asked about my art, vision and verse …
You asked me, where I create from
You asked me how long it takes to form.
You asked me from where warmth and positivity spring forth in my words.
Life they say, is the best teacher guide and mentor
Perhaps in the siftings of life and living
The colours of my art emerge.
Perhaps the sounds of words felt deep within
I sense again, in the verses I write
Perhaps the blow of incessant hot and cold winds of changes
Mellow my words with moderation.
Words are powerful I deeply believe
As I had written somewhere earlier too
In faith hope and trust
I care to send out my thoughts
That they may shift the perspectives
Of another’s thought to turn to the positive.
That they may bring the very same contentment
in the reading and sensing
to awaken the spirit and let their souls shine
With love and gratitude
In the realization of all that is.
That I feel deep within.
Beauty of it all is
That life continues
To be a great impactor
In the winds of changes.
There is much to understand and know
New learnings, new knowings
That teach as they are happening now.
The trick is to be open
And allow it all in the flow
To assimilate and acknowledge
This wealth of wisdom between you & me.
So I thank your questions here to me
As it awakens my spirit now
To brave new frontiers of creativity
But with deep responsibility.
Thank you for the pause in my thoughts
You invoke with your caring query.
Significance of creative endeavors
Arise first from curiosity and care
And that propels new paths and purpose…
In this journey of life and living.
Savvy Raj
Across the distant horizon, resplendent in all its radiant hues sun shines on its blessings and bejewels the sky. The leaves unfurl themselves a little bit more ….with strength and energy and basking with confidence in its radiance. Knowing the biting cold of the night has moved away, they glide lovingly content in this moment that glows with warmth!
The buds awaken themselves and bloom willingly only to reveal their astoundingly tender beauty. And soulfully they turn seeking the brilliance of the magnificent sun …catch them dancing the dance of beauty and grace that’s shimmering in its rays…Maybe they know well the time they have with the sun is precious and know they must live it with all their might ….and behold it’s a breath-taking sight!
Who better to seek, to understand the preciousness and wisdom of time, than from a tender flower amidst its unabashed beauty.
Time is precious! Fill your day with purpose! Live the moments ….lovingly!
Bloom and be blessed.

The illusion of pressure a takes a toll on most of the originality before it even begins to take shape… At such times it is important to distinguish between what truly matters …. trust the source to come up with ingenious perspectives, which are simply an extension of the you -ness in you…. !!
We truly are unique and magnificent beings. Our modes of expressions of ourselves can be carriers of the magnificent and unique creativity that abides in us all….
Some simple thoughts on developing abilities to retain and revel in the authentic you …
Ability to listen to the sounds of silence as much as make sense of the apparent mayhem that may surround us at times.
Ability to appreciate the differences as much as the similarities.
Ability to connect with the most mundane as much as the most volatile thought exercising equanimity.
Ability to move beyond the complexity to embrace the simplicity of thoughts
Ability to value the necessity of the moment for itself without pitting in for a stake.
Creativity is a game of the choices you make of the resources within that gets out the authentic artistic in you ….a challenge by itself, in itself and for itself.Not a rehearsal show for a public adulation!
Ability to move beyond the need to prove is thus an important aspect in the creative flow…
Ability to be in this moment in the spirit of joy and celebrate the little developments in assurance and confidence that it is a precursor of the brilliance taking shape …!
And so much more ….But most of all the ability to be grateful and gracious in acknowledging all the inspirations that come your way to help you be you! They are your angels … and guides in the path of releasing the authenticity of you … thankfulness and gratitude unlock the uniqueness in you !.
Gratitude Rocks !!!
