In the middle of all the love, peace and happiness work we’re involved in, I managed to get an unexpected break and visit a crafts fair near our place en route to running an errand. It was a delightful interlude to an extremely warm and busy day. Just window-shopping, taking in the colors of life was a visual treat. This crafts fair is something one can expect...

When there is love peace and happiness are not far behind. Love is such a solid glue in my life. It binds all my relationships, strengthening them and makes life worth living.  The past couple of weeks have been busy and I have not kept up with blogging as much as I’d like. But sometimes, real life takes priority and there were a couple of crisis situations we...

Not that I need a special day to write a Mother’s Day tribute to Mom. I consider myself extremely fortunate that I had my Mother and Grandmother, two wonderfully wise women who believed in giving and not keeping score. “God could not be everywhere. So he made Mothers” is a quote especially true in my life. I consider it a miracle that I am alive...

I begin my #AtoZChallenge 2013 post with gratitude to Friends who encouraged me constantly Friends who emailed me regularly to motivate Everyone who visited my blog throughout April and commented My A2Zeders Facebook group that shared my post within the group, each day I was away (From April 13 to 30) Vidur Sury, who guest posted for the letter F, when I was unwell...

I believe that laughter is the best medicine.  There’s 100% truth in this. Lots of laughter is therapeutic, keeps you healthy and kills stress. Did you know that six-year-olds laugh at least 300 times a day while adults only laugh 15 to 100 times a day? No prizes for guessing why they always seem happy! Well, most of the time anyway! Did you know that May 5 is...

Day 26 of the #AtoZChallenge – wraps up the A to Z Challenge – and gosh, how I am going to miss it! I never even imagined I’d stick right through to the end as I’ve been traveling since April 13 with limited internet access. And I have a confession to make – I couldn’t schedule all the posts until Z – as I was too busy...

Day 25 of the #AtoZChallenge already, and it is “Yakshagana” for the letter Y. We had an invitation to a Yakshagana performance last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. To say we were mesmerized by the artists would be an understatement. After this troupe performed at Vidur’s school, and he came home and ecstatically described it, we were keen to see...

Just three days left to the #AtoZChallenge – and we are on Day 24! I am definitely going to miss this when we wrap it up.  Sigh. It is X for Xenodochial and I was introduced to this word by my very dear friend Kaarina Dillabough when she had the business Alphabet series on her blog last year. What a fabulous collaborative experience that was! Hers is one of...

Day 23 of the #AtoZChallenge  is W for Writers. And Wow! I am loving the Wonderful Writers I’ve “met” through this challenge. I love how we all evolve as writers – because it is a lifelong learning process. My only regret was not being around to visit and comment every day, as I really enjoy doing that. My internet time is currently limited....
