The World is Waiting to be touched by your Unique Light, Nyra!!!

 My darling baby Nyra graduated from primary school last week. Time flies so fast!! Feels like it was just yesterday when she started school. 

Through these two years Nyra and I learnt so many new things together, most important of which was a lesson in processing our emotions. Nyra was so brave and embraced every challenge beautifully. I still remember how we had to work with her Base group teacher to identify her writing hand. Nyra being ambidextrous is capable of writing and colouring with both hands. But we had to consciously work with her to identify her dominant hand. 

In two years my baby grew from feeling different and feeling lonely in class to finding good friends as she graduates from primary school. There was a time when my baby felt really sad that she did not have good friends, (in school & society) many times I have chanted for her to have a break through in this (and I continue to chant for it) Today I am surprised to see how social she has become. We are now going to focus on ensuring healthy boundaries in friendships, which has become important for us to address given her ups & downs with Gurbani.  

Primary school was a revelation for us - Nyra surprised herself and us by her talent for colours and art. 

I hope my darling baby will continue to colour the world in the most beautiful hues and giving us a peek into her most amazing & kind self !!

New Year, Same (New) Me

Happy 3rd month into 2024! 

Its amazing how every new year comes with a dash of hope- that things maybe different, or life may get  better - but all such disillusions are dashed swiftly within the first quarter, if not the first month! 

After the year we had last year, I honestly didn’t think that there could be a lower bar for rock bottom, and yet we see there is one actually!! 2024 has been super crazy from the start.

Even so, my big determination for the year has been to push myself like never before, to challenge myself like never before, to test my mettle and forge it! Oh but the journey of getting there is so difficult! I m in pain spiritually, emotionally & physically- is it the path of creative destruction? 

Earlier in Feb I created a structure for myself for a daily list of things I must ensure I complete, to help myself on this journey of forging:- 

Chanting  

Gosho study 

Breathing exercises 

Walk or workout 

Water intake 

Reading 

Diet 

This list keeps changing, based on my awareness of self & need of the hour. 

In a short time of one month I have def seen & felt tremendous benefit, nevermind the pain I feel . But I am also aware of how easy it is for me to get derailed from my identified structure on some days, specially when I am exhausted or have too many things going on my mind or when my mind, body & soul are not in sync  

Today I am reminding myself again, of the Samurai warrior within me, of the power & wisdom of my body and the limitless potential I have the ability to tap into. 

By posting it here, I hope to make myself more accountable towards my life goals- including my longest cherished goal of losing weight!  

Will keep going 💪🏻
