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.

Weekly Reflection: Harmony and Beauty

Yesterday, I consciously decided to create beauty- silently and deliberately but without a need for recognition or applause.

I started with decluttering, a section of my lounge room, then placed a couple of flowers on my dinning table and lowered my tone while talking. I was quick to notice that these simple acts had softened the air and slowed down my heart beat.

Everytime you bring harmony to the space around you, be it at work or home, you are healing and mending your spirit.

Every colour you add, every corner you clear and every gentle word you whisper you are making room for the new, for beauty to emerge and for clarity to set in .

Weekly Reflection: Journey of Becoming

Our life journey was never about becoming - more successful, more perfect, more qualified.

The becoming was often someone else's expectations. We stepped into many roles as means to survive.

The sacred change:
Unravel every story that you told yourself to get through the day.
Your softness and kindness was not a mistake.

You possess the grace to unbecome the person who always apologised and met others expectations.

Your journey ahead is to about, becoming your original self and reminding your soul about its worth.

Today's Reflection

Our day can be filled with a million jobs. Amongst the many check-lists and tasks we complete there is always, some work we do that touches the core of who we are. When we show kindness, it becomes a beacon of light or the very reason for another person to keep going - we feel the spark inside us.

When our acts of kindness lifts another person,we are reminded that we do not live in isolation. By helping those around us we receive something very profound - a new connection and a sense of belonging.

Helping others will never exhaust your heart or soul. The powerful impact we make on those around us often turns into a tiny miracle and softens the harden world around us.

Reminder: If you make a choice today, choose to care ❤️

Self- worth: Measure your value in your own terms

🌿It's easy to get caught up in measuring our worth by others standards. Chasing external validation can lead to unattainable standards, setting us up for disappointment and self- doubt.

🌱When our worth is tied to external validation we can loose sight of our purpose, own values, strengths and passions. Comparing ourselves to others can lead to low self-esteem and inadequacy.

Embracing your own worth:
🌺 Measuring our worth is a journey not a destination. It's about recognising our value, and deserving kindness, respect and compassion - from ourselves.

We can measure our own worth:
⚘️ Setting personal goals and celebrating our achievements. Surrounding ourself by people who support and uplift us. Prioritising our physical and mental well-being. Practising affirming ourselves and our self- worth.

By focussing on our own strengths and passions each one of us can become confident, resilient and authentic.

The Power of Encounters

Our life is filled with countless encounters, some fleeting and others long lasting. The people we meet influence our thoughts, shape our experiences and may contribute to our growth.

Type of people you may meet :
Supportive people will listen to you and encourage you. They will uplift and listen to you.
Challenging people will throw you out of your comfort zone, forcing you to grow and learn.
Toxic people will drain you of your energy and can affect your well - being.
Inspirational people will motivate and encourage you to pursue your dreams.
Indifferent people do not add any value to your life but still deserve kindness and respect.

By approaching every individual with empathy,understanding and open mindedness we can create a positive impact on those around us.
Remember: Every person you encounter has the potential to shape your story and leave an impression.

Make Every Moment Count

The clock is ticking and time is moving forward, unaffected by your plans, circumstances and desires. Time waits for no one and its up to us to make every moment count.

⏰Time is a non- renewable resource : Time can not be replenished, reversed or paused. Prioritise what matters the most.

⌚️Seize the Day: Do not put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Take action towards your goals. make time for people and things that bring you joy.

⌛️Time is relative, but not excusable: Time flies when your having fun but also when your procrastinating. Do not let time slip away, use it wisely.

Time waits for no one, so make every moment count !! What is something you would do if your day had twenty- five hours ?
