Hello everyone! Welcome to the twenty-eighth edition of Fiction Monday. “You don’t always need a plan. Sometimes you just need to breathe, trust, let go, and see what happens.” ~ Mandy Hale I had a plan. To write, of course. To respind to the prompts here promptly every week. Not only that, I wanted to […]
Fill Your Cup With Gratitude #SoulfulSunday
A few minutes ago I got the news of another loss. Another life lost. Another family pushed to grieve. Another face wiped off from the surface of the earth. It’s becoming a piece of everyday news now. True, people passed away before also. But since the last couple of years, I’ve heard more number of […]
Word of the Year 2021
This is my favorite part – setting a word of the year. It all started back in 2015. 2021 is the 7th year I am doing this exercise. This time I knew what word is going to be my guide in 2021 when December began. The idea is to set a word to help us […]
Fiction Monday – 27
Hello everyone! Welcome to the first Fiction Monday of 2021 which is our twenty-seventh edition so far. Isn’t it exciting to welcome the new year and explore the very first week? I am excited. A new year gives me the same thrill as I open a new notebook. “One day, you will wake up and […]
Now is the Time #SoulfulSunday
My mind is a blank slate today. This happens sometimes. Who am I kidding! This happens often. Especially when I sit down with the intention to write. But today my mind is exceptionally quiet. Like a seashore with no waves. It feels wrong. Since this is the first soulful Sunday writing of 2021 I don’t […]
2020 in Review
2020 has got a bad reputation. Rightly so. But my word of 2020 gave me the flexibility to own my circumstances and respond accordingly. I chose the word ‘CHOICE’ for 2020 to remind me that whatever I do or not do, I have a choice. I wanted to think about my choice. I wanted to […]
Fiction Monday – 26
Hello everyone! Welcome to the twenty-sixth edition of Fiction Monday. This is the last fiction Monday of 2020. I feel incredibly happy as I type this post. I started Fiction Monday in mid-June 2020 as a bi-monthly feature. Then in August, from the 5th edition onwards it became a weekly feature. I am grateful to […]
Be There For Yourself #SoulfulSunday
2020 is in its twilight zone. Soon it will melt into the night and 2021 will be here. I have been holding back on writing down my year review post. I was in a holiday mood from last week. So I didn’t write or read. Yesterday I sat down for some time and wrote down […]
Fiction Monday – 25
Hello everyone! Welcome to the twenty-fifth edition of Fiction Monday. I have thought of taking a break till January 1st from blogging, but then I realized there are posts I want to write before the new year commences. And since Fiction Monday started in June, I have always made sure to publish every week, though […]
Beneath the Layers #SoulfulSunday 4
When I write morning pages in the morning, to absorb all my thoughts into a piece of paper, I often find myself empty. I feel nothing. Words disappear. Thoughts hide somewhere. But I know they aren’t gone. Probably just shy. As I sit here to write down my immediate thoughts, I look around and see […]
