Day 482 has become one of the toughest day to write something. It has been almost 50 times when I have written and re-written post for this day. For reasons unknown to me, I am stuck on this day and it is becoming increasingly difficult to pass it. In order to get of this Day 482 mental block, I am keeping this post just this much. Let's write it, read it and get over with it! Then I saw an amazing quote by this wise lady, and she articulates what I was unable to understand.... I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Sonya Syed. (At last Day 482)  

Hello Everyone, The following article is written by Iyanla Vinzant and I am only republishing it on the blog. From now on I will also be posting articles by other writers whose words of wisdom can become a source of light and guidance in your life, as they have been in mine. Happy Reading! ............................................................................................... Make room in your life for what you really deserve instead of settling for a comfortable compromise. Some years ago, I was shopping and came upon a beautiful red dress. The color, style and length were perfect. But the store didn't have it in my size. It did, however, have the same dress in navy, which I wasn't crazy about. Then I noticed a pair of blue shoes nearby that complemented that blue dress. (I didn't love those, either.) So what did I do? I bought that I've never worn the dress or the shoes.) You've probably heard the saying "Better the dev...

Before anything, I have to say this: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ANY MEDICINE WITHOUT THE PRESCRIPTION OF YOUR DOCTOR. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE UNDER DOSE / ONE DOSE OF FLAGYL OR ENTAMIZOLE DS (GENERIC NAME METRONIDAZOLE …) FOR ANY STOMACH INFECTION. FLAGYL/ ENTAMIZOLE DS, IS AN ANTIBIOTIC AND THIS OR ANY OTHER ANTI-BIOTIC HAS TO BE TAKEN FOR CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS AND WITH PROPER SURPERVISION OF A DOCTOR ONLY. IF YOU TAKE ONLY ONE DOSE OF ANTI-BIOTIC YOUR BODY WILL CREATE SEVERE RESISTANCE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE THAT MEDICATION. EVER! PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO ALL YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. Yesterday, I was talking to a friend of mine who shared this earth shattering and sky breaking news of taking under dose of anti-biotic, probably one tablet. I was shocked and scared that it’s not only her but many people around us who without consulting any doctor, just take anti-biotic on their own. God knows what damage has already been done but ...

Sometimes without even knowing you change so much that you cannot even recognize yourself. Well, I haven’t changed that much on the personal level but my circumstances and routines have changed dramatically and if I can make a safe assumption they will alter and reach new heights pretty soon. This blog was my main outlet to express myself, to say whatever I needed to say without any hesitation. My paintings, my breaths, whom I have now abandoned for months are beckoning me. Nevertheless, time and mind are now invested in different professional activities. That’s why I said, sometimes we change unrecognizably. Life is not about getting into new aspects and abandoning the old, I think its more a matter of balance. It is more about time management, commitment and discipline than anything else. There is a very quiet, pristine and peaceful place inside all of us, where our true connection with our self, with God happens; where all the creativity takes place; wher...

Goodness! It feels like ages have passed since I last wrote, almost a month has elapsed and there has been no news from my front. What am I up to these days, any new happenings? Well, thankfully there is not much excitement in my life, it is amazingly dull and boring and trust me you would want it to be like that. I don’t have any idea as to why there has been such a long gap after my last post; I wanted to write, to shout out loud yet I choose to be quiet. Sometimes silence is the best medicine, it is wise to hold yourself rather than make a fool of oneself. Talking about fooling oneself, over the time I have realized that it is one of the greatest therapies available to any human. It is so wonderful to keep yourself in a dream-world, where all is bliss and perfect and where everyone is beautiful. Nevertheless, the Reality does pull you out of your comfort zone and you are left with no option but to face what it is. Anger, hatred and jealousy are inevitable hum...
