Ok, not literally 🙂 Did you read my post titled Inner Light? Those two words really stirred my soul. Do I have Inner Light, I started wondering? Umm... I do not think so. So, how do I cultivate it? Before cultivating it, I need to define it, yes? My definition is - a light within … Continue reading I am a lighthouse

Inner Light
People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.Elisabeth Kubler -Ross
Happy Birthday Cherry
I am wondering how many of us are walking away from abundance because we cannot believe our luck. It is Cherry's birthday on Jan 7th and Petco very generously gave her 1 lb of treats for free on her birthday (we are rewards members). Anyhoo, I excitedly brought her home and placed the whole bag … Continue reading Happy Birthday Cherry
Think Like a Monk – A book review
I would rate this book a 5/5. It is a 500 odd page book. I can usually finish a book in 3 days but this one took longer since I had to contemplate as it is chock full of wisdom. I use a digital reading app to checkout books from my library. The app is … Continue reading Think Like a Monk – A book review
On my wish list this Black Friday
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I sure did. It was a quiet one with family and Cherry. We had good food, lazed around a bit and spent time on our respective hobbies. Friday came around and I was bombarded with Black Friday sales ads. I got so caught up in the frenzy that … Continue reading On my wish list this Black Friday
The Book of Longings – A book review
My rating - 4/5. I have mixed feelings about this book. It is divided into several parts and the first few read like a hymn / prayer. I was captivated by the flow and words, and could not put it down. The story is pure fiction and talks about Jesus before resurrection. He is married … Continue reading The Book of Longings – A book review
Dealing with negative uncertainty (Part 1)
My bougainvillea has been growing for several years on the trellis, to the point that the trellis framework has become unsteady under its weight. I had a maintenance crew come in and take care of the heavy branches. They did a phenomenal job of carrying out my instructions to the letter, only one problem, it … Continue reading Dealing with negative uncertainty (Part 1)
Dealing with negative uncertainty (Part 2)
STOP - Read Part 1 for context. As a coping mechanism, I came up with a list of items I know for sure. I wrote in my journal the following: Plants growTime healsI can retrain the vine As I was journal ling, a thought crept up on me like a soft cat. It said , … Continue reading Dealing with negative uncertainty (Part 2)
The Tenth Muse – A book review
This book was un-put-downable. I give it a 3/5. Huh? you say? Let me explain. Catherine Chung (the author) is a mathematician herself and sets out to write a story connecting mathematics and life. She is only partially successful in my humble opinion. I was so engrossed in the novel that I skipped meals and … Continue reading The Tenth Muse – A book review
Everything I Never Told You – A book review
I am not sure why or how I picked up 'Little Fires Everywhere' - Celeste Ng. I liked the book quite a bit and picked up her other book (title) and am reviewing that today. I would give this a 5/5 ( 5 - fantastic). The writing flowed well and the novel was tight. Celeste … Continue reading Everything I Never Told You – A book review
