“No duty is more urgent than giving thanks.” – James Allen Another week of January just went by. It’s time for my weekly gratitude post. I would say the week that has gone by, was a good one. Not an extraordinary one. Not a week where I checked off all items on my to-do list. […]

Weekly Gratitude -1 #SoulfulSunday
I decided to write a weekly gratitude series on my blog this year. Last year my gratitude journal wasn’t always filled with words of gratitude. And this year I am planning to change that. Along with my daily gratitude journaling, I will publish a weekly gratitude post every Sunday. And a monthly gratitude post at […]
Word of the Year – 2022
Every year since 2015 I have been setting a word of the year. Normally by the last week of December, I would be certain of my word for the next year. But this time I had a difficult time coming up with my word of the year. A word of the year is to guide […]
Bye Bye 2021 #YearInReview
I feel hopeful as 2021 is slowly fading into the pages of memory. 2021 for me was a year of test, frustration, and impatience. It’s the year where I felt nothing I did was good enough. Progress was my word of the year 2021. And to be honest, I made progress in many aspects of […]
Lies #SoulfulSunday
“I am enough”, the lies I tell myself! Sometimes it makes me happy and able. So I keep up with the charade and chant,“I am enough”. Often though, the lies stare at me and it hurts like hell. I am trying my best. Another lie. Maybe, not my best, but I’m trying to be enough. […]

A Wonderful Outing and Some Reflections #SoulfulSunday
Last week we went on a trip to see the fall colors. The trip was fabulous. We Phoenicians are deprived of fall colors and winter wonderland experiences if not for our cooler cities on the north side. The trip to Flagstaff is laced with vistas of gorgeous mountains all around us. This being the first […]
Plans for the Week #SoulfulSunday
I like my days calm and clutter-free. Not filled with so many appointments. But the week that went by, was busier than the one I imagined what busy meant. The weekend came as a relief. However, it had its share of things to do. Akku’s birthday was yesterday. Thankfully, we didn’t plan for anything major. […]
Those Were The Best Days! #SoulfulSunday
Last night as I was taking my routine Facebook stroll I happened to overhear this conversation that took place in my feed. Someone in my friend list posted their school photo and others commented “those were the best days”, “if only we could relive those days”, etc. Often when I hear this statement the question […]
