Today, I stood up for love.I protected what mattered.I honored my truth.The storm rose, and I did not run.I was fierce, and I was honest.I gave a voice to the fire inside me.And now…The fire can cool.The sky is clear. The night can hold me. I do not need to carry the weight of this … Continue reading Thunderstorm

Runner’s Note
I don't run to beat myself up, I run to lift myself. I don't run to punish myself, I run to celebrate myself. I don't run to lose something, I run to gain something. I don't run away from where I am, I run towards the place I want to be. I don't run to … Continue reading Runner’s Note

It is said that a relationship, in particular with one's spouse is a sadhana; a spiritual practice. We are not having a relationship so we can be happily ever after ( I … Continue reading Sadhana

I am lucky today! I have a chance to know that I'm truly done with my chronic anger. If you've been hurt deeply, you will understand this chronic anger. I've been carrying this anger for more than two decades.. I held onto it, and let it pull me into the deep abyss of pain.Two decades … Continue reading Done!

I don't want to engage with that kind of conversation. I don't want to ruin my inner peace, and yes I … Continue reading Protest
