Hey Reader, how was your week? For me it started well. But, Thursday my husband & me both went down with flu. I honestly had forgotten what itās like to feel this sick. And the first thing that comes to mind , when your body feels weak & tired is to order a take away. I know it feels so obvious? Like seriously, it does! And although I know in my bones, the more fresh, clean & home cooked food I will eat, the sooner I will recover. I tried my best to make comforting soups for us all for two...

I don't think I have shared this with you, Reader in this detail. So about 5 years ago, while I was living with my family in Nigeria, on a lush tropical island called Bonny Island, my life took a massive turn. Everything was nice & rosy (from far) or honestly nothing was bad bad. And yet, inside I was feeling like being sucked in negativity. This continued for days, weeks & months. As days passed by, I continued feeling extremely strange. Somethings in me didn't feel right at all. Or at least...

I stand to my words Reader. At least, I try most times :)) So, if you read my email on procrastination(& if you didn't, you can read it here)- I had shared my story. I promised you that I will share my strategies, that have come to be so helpful in managing my own patterns of procrastination. Surely, I still think over things before making an important decision but I donāt brood over things so much that the time I could have taken action is gone. Let me share with you what helped me. In Mel...

Hey Reader Although, I coach others to live a balanced & healthier lifestyle, my life gets wobbly to handle too sometimes. One of the things that recently changed for us as a family is my husband taking up an overseas work project. I was treading into a daily groove of things pretty well. Kids to school, Varun & myself working from home. We use to have our lunch together. We would have a 5 min chat breaks. And there he got into a new project where he now travels every second month for 10 days...

Do you get it, Reader when I say that itās one thing to say Yes to something & another to actually do it. Gosh, I remember there was a time in my life when I was living in Kazakhstan, & I would promise one of the momās from the playgroup where I use to take my kids for playtime that I will meet her for a run thrice a week. Look, I had the intention for sure. I knew this run was important. I wanted to lose weight , I knew in my heart that I should be getting fitter. I should be flexing those...

Hey Reader Happy Veganuary guys! Letās get this new year start right, shall we? January being my second favourite month of the year after July where I love taking a back seat, travel around the world & spend some quiet, sunny days with my family while feeling grateful for all the love I feel being close to them away from the worldly noise. However, January is also unique for some very specific reasons- it being a time for me to closely review my future goals, reflect on all the growth,...

Hey Reader I wonder what you thought reading the subject line of this email?? Hahaha. Butā¦. Hereās something I do that is pretty cool. I take a quiet corner in my home, next to a window or on my bed. I make myself a warm drink, light my favorite candle (soya candles with orange bits) cozy up in a blanket with my journal and pen. This is the setup for an exciting hour which Iāll spend with myself. This is how it goesā¦. I write a āLETTER OF COMPASSIONā In the month of December for the past 3...

Hey Reader Travel is fun, right? Not work related ofc but HOLIDAYS!! :) The amazing people, cultures, and places you get to experience. It's incredible. Although, I have to admit that the only time I struggle being a Vegan is when I travel. Airports have limited options, & some airlines donāt provide vegan friendly meals(rarely healthy). Mostly they are Vegetarian foods. Yes, one can do a water fast or something but I am not the kind who can when I am on the go ;). Once I land, I use the...
