So what is it with me sharing these pictures of these houses today, you may ask ?

The first house is my patetnal house where I grew up with my parents and some of my extended family members. The other house is where I moved 2 days after I got married. It is here my 3 boys spent their early childhood. I lived along with my husband and my children in this house till we migrated to Australia.

I always was in awe at the high beam ceilings, the intricate furniture, large compounds and a zillion rooms.

But now when I think of these homes different thoughts flood my mind :
These constructions were just not houses but were homes. They were more then roofs and walls - they were quiet spaces filled with memories and connections.

Its in the laughter echoing through the hallways, the scents of meals shared, the familiar creaking of the front door and the corners that has witnessed both joy and sorrow.

These homes hold stories of who we were and who we are becoming. It remembers every rushed mornings, the slow evening conversations that lingered long after the words faded. Every moment that were overlooked are remembered in both these houses.

Connections still live here in the way we gathered, supported and sometimes exisisted alongside one another. It is in these house we learnt to be patient, to love, to forgive and belong.

As times move on the feeling of a " home", stays with us and is carried in our hearts to recreate new spaces and reflect on the people we hold close.

In the end, a home is a feeling of being accepted, known and deeply connected !!

" Wisdom is not in never having to face hard choices but it is about having the courage to choose what is right even when it is hard".

Many of the choices we have to make do not come with, "Perfect", answers. They can sit heavily on our heart and pull us in different directions.

Wisdom is often quiet. It asks us to pause,reflect and look beyond. It often assists us in focussing on not what feels good now but what alligns with our morals, values, growth and our peace in the long run.

Wisdom often teaches us to either move on or stay and do the hard work. Sometimes it means that others may not understand the path we choose.

Difficult choices shape us. They teach us resilience, clarity and self- trust. With every choice we make, we learn to listen a little more closely to that inner voice that knows what we truly need.

So choose with intention !! Choose with courage !! And always trust that wisdom grows each time you make a choice.

" Forgive yourself, everytime you recollect things you did not know earlier". It is with time we realise things that did not make sense.

No one is born with wisdom. You reap this benefit with age, trials and experience. We often carry the burden of not being kind or being empathetic enough, like a big boulder on our shoulders.

Over our life span, we will find opportunities to forgive ourself and draw many boundaries. Finding time to stay in the silence language will bring gradual healing .

As I share this picture of one of my favourite flowers, I see my own reflection .. fragile yet enduring. I am growing even through those many cracks. I am acknowledging that even though my life is not perfect it is meaningful.

So today and always live a meaningful life just donot exsist. Choose yourself ..always !!

Authentic Self
There are times when I feel drained not to be my authentic self. I question myself as to why I feel so deeply empathetic towards others,that my eyes start breaming with tears.

I try hard to stay strong and harden my heart but before I know God sends a person who needs my presence and a listening ear...no advice, no questions asked.

If you see a tear in my eye it means ..your not alone. My silence means you are in my prayers.
Today and always,I honour my heart that shows kindness and forgives easily. I thank God for teaching me to listen and not judge.

As we all enter into another weekend I hope we all can find the time to cherish and honor who we are and continue being our authentic selves.

𝘽𝙚𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙙, "𝙄 𝙙𝙤" : 𝙏𝙤𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙞𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙡

Its that time of the year, when I fondly remanence our wedding day. We took our marriage vows, lit the unity candle and were blessed and wished by close to 400 people before the end of the day (endless guest list !!)

As I look back at the pictures, I never fail to notice how naïve, we were about life, but we were confident that if we had a prayer in our hearts we could face any challenge that life would throw at us. Over the last 3 decades, we have been on a roller-coaster ride with many lows and many highs too.🤾‍♀️🏹🤸‍♂️🏋️‍♀️

So here I am sharing some things that we learnt about saying, "I do".
Love and respect is the foundation of a successful marriage. Love is definitely not a fleeting emotion. Its a conscious choice to honour, cherish and prioritise your spouse above everything else. Respect is the bedrock of not only mutual admiration but also acknowledging the worth and dignity of the other person. 💝 💝

The lifeblood of a thriving marriage is open and honest communication. Engaging in open, honest dialogue will foster deeper intimacy and understanding. Creating a safe space for vulnerability and authenticity is the essence of a good relationship.☎️💌

Imperfection is predominant in every human relationship. Recognising mistakes and shortcomings are part of our human experience. Extending compassion and understanding to each other, choosing empathy over judgement and grace over resentment are the core elements of a good marriage.🙏🪡

Being one another’s cheerleaders, offering unwavering support to one another, encouraging and guiding individual and shared aspirations help in amplifying each other’s strengths and navigate challenges as a united front.🌿⚓️

To me, a successful marriage is a sacred journey marked by shared moments of joy, growth and unw

Balancing the Contrasts

A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to devour an acai bowl.

Before I even started scooping in, I intently used my sense of smell and sight to investigate each of the elements that were together. I was quick to notice the contrasts of the various flavours.

My brain cells were quick to compare us as human beings !! We are all made up of contrasts. Tenderness and strength all live within us side by side.

" Mix it together", Said my son who was sitting opposite me. I realised that it was not important for me to choose one over the other. While you and I may be a contrast, we all have a sweetness that can over power the bitterness of life.

The heartbreaks, missteps and moments that shape our lives belong to us.While we carry a sense of peace in our heart and choose to live life like a warrior, we do not need to choose one over the other.

Reminder: Your heart knows where it belongs. Stay attuned to every small miracle.When life's journey asks for courage, step forward even when your limbs tremble.

Ephiphany : End of the Christmas Season 🌲⭐️☃️

In the Christian tradition,Ephiphany ( January 6th ) marks the end of the Christmas tradition. On this day the church comemorates the Magi visiting baby Jesus.

In most Christian homes, Ephiphany is the traditional time to take down Christmas decorations/ lights, symbolising the end of the Christmas season.

As our home transition into the normal season, I like to thank all my friends and family for sending Christmas greetings/ gifts and praying/ singing carols with me. May the Chritmas joy linger in our hearts throughout the year 2026.

Chronicles 2025 : Unseen 2026

As the sun rays of the year 2025 softens, I find myself in the sacred pause between the past and the future. The year gave me a fair share of happiness that felt like a rainbow and challanges that tested the grip of my feet.

As the year comes to a close, I do not wish to measure my achievements and my short comings or match the person I had decided I wanted to be. Today in silence, I want honor the year 2025 for something more profound.
I made it through.

I lived through disppointments and balnced acts of hope and fatigue. As I face the year 2025, I will not start it with a list of things I need to mend. I want to meet the new year with a vow :
To be kinder to my heart.
To hear when my body is tired.
To allow myself to be beautifully unfinished.
To honour the courage it took me to keep moving.

So before, I turn the page and the new calandar opens I hope that you give yourself the permission to heal, rest and face the new year 2026 just as you are.

I wish you peace, that surpasses all understanding.May you carry the wisdom you gained from every stumble and the kindness you showed to a stranger into the year 2026.

As I sign off, I recognise the beauty that surrounds me and recieve it as big hug from my God, reminding me that I am precious and loved.

The day will end with a night full of stars that never appeared so prettier then before and each twinkling star is passed on to you that every day you live will be like Christmas. Happy Christmas. Stay blessed always!!

Over the next few days, I will try and share my thoughts on some of the important elements that adorne my home.

The Aging Christmas tree
Some how, over the years , we find joy in FIRST unboxing and setting up the Christmas tree.

To me it looked just fine but my youngest son brought to my notice how the Christmas tree looked, " Anoreexic and grey". Before he could suggest of replacing the tree..I strongly affirmed my thoughts

What is it that went into holding on to this aging beauty ??
The tree brought to mind, many fond memories of many Christmas celebrations.
The twist and turns, the loss and greying of some bristles reminded me of the aging process. Aging with grace is not about fighting the number, its about the memories, laughter, lessons and the love.

So after adding a few new decorations and lights, the tree stands in all its glory, through yet another Chritmas season.
My Christmas tree symbolises change,of letting go and evolving. It brings to mind, the importance of gratitude, pursuing passions and building meaningful connections.
