Day 366 of 2024- Happy Last Day Of 2024

Hi Friends,

Happy last day of 2024! As we stand at the threshold of the new year, we close the chapters of the past, each filled with its own unique challenges and cherished memories. This moment invites us to reflect deeply: What has this year meant to you? What were the most pivotal moments, and what insights did they reveal about your desires and resilience? How have these experiences shaped who you are today?

Can you let go of old grievances, leave behind what no longer serves you, and find it in your heart to forgive—even when you haven't received an apology? What would it mean for you to step into the new year unburdened by these weights?

So many of us are ready to put this year behind us and start anew. My wish for you today is that you enjoy this New Year's Eve with a heart full of joy. Smile, celebrate, and embrace the pleasure of the moment, no matter what you're doing or what's happened in your life.

Take some time to think about all the things you are grateful for. Gratitude isn't just a practice; it's the cornerstone of self-help, the foundation that can stabilize us even in turbulent times.

As we countdown to midnight, consider what dreams and aspirations you want to carry into 2025. How will you make the next year not just another span of time, but a truly transformative journey? Embrace the possibilities that await with an open heart and an eager spirit.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita

Day 364 of 2024- 2 days

 Hi Friends,

With just two days left, beginnings and endings stand as pivotal moments. The transition from 2024 to 2025 offers much to contemplate. Don't let the year end or the new one begin without giving serious thought to your life's direction. Be specific about what you want to achieve in 2025 and make an effort to tie up any loose ends from 2024. Avoid carrying anything negative into the new year. Set the tone you desire for both the end of this year and the beginning of the next, crafting a positive start for 2025.

As you reflect, consider these questions: What are the most valuable lessons you learned in 2024, and how will you apply them in 2025? 

What specific changes or initiatives do you want to undertake in the new year to enhance your personal and professional life?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 363 of 2024- 3 days

 Hi Friends,

As we count down the final three days of 2024, I believe that gratitude is the most important skill to cultivate.

Take a moment to reflect and note all the things for which you are grateful. Consider both the big and small moments that have enriched your year. This practice not only enhances your appreciation for the past but also sets a positive foundation for the year ahead. Cultivating gratitude can lead to a more fulfilled and content life, as it helps us recognize and celebrate our achievements and the beauty in our everyday experiences.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Reflect on the highlights of your year—those achievements and joyful moments—and think about how you can incorporate these feelings into your Christmas celebrations, enriching the festive season with a personal touch of happiness and pride. Consider sharing these stories with loved ones as you gather, using them to inspire and uplift others. This not only reinforces your own positive experiences but also helps to create a shared sense of accomplishment and joy that enhances the holiday spirit for everyone involved.

 Hi Friends,

I hope you all are having a good day. Today's end-of-year reflection question is: What can you start today that you're planning for in 2025?

With only 12 days left until the end of the year and 6 days until Christmas, things are really getting busy with the preparations. Amidst the hustle and bustle, take a moment to think about the new year ahead. Initiating something now, even in small steps, can set a strong foundation for your plans in 2025.

Day 353 of 2024- 13 and 7

 Hi Friends,

There are just 13 days left until the end of the year and one week until Christmas. I absolutely love this time of year, and as I may have mentioned in a previous post, I am saddened not to be home since I am traveling for the holidays and New Year. But it is what it is, right?

Today's reflection question is: How can you remind yourself that the opinions of others don't truly matter? I know it's difficult to simply ignore some of the things you hear, but if they aren't coming from people you trust or admire, then their words shouldn't occupy a place in your heart or mind. Remind yourself that your self-worth is not determined by others' perceptions. Trust in your own values and the path you've chosen for yourself.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

 Hi Friends,

With only 14 days left until the end of the year and 8 days until Christmas, I hope you're wrapping things up at work and planning some well-deserved time off.

With about a week left until Christmas, what tasks can you cross off your list? I hope you're considering reducing your to-do list and increasing your "me-time" list.

Today's reflection question as the year ends is: What will you not carry over into the next year? What do you need to conclude this year?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

As you shop for gifts for your loved ones, take some time over the next 9 days to think about what you might like to gift yourself. Is there something you've been wanting but haven't yet gotten? Treat yourself this season as well!

As we approach the end of the year, today's reflection question is: What's the one big thing that happened this year, and how did it impact you?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Hi Friends,

During these remaining days, I plan to create more reflective questions to inspire deeper thinking and meaningful action. Today’s question focuses on the spirit of giving: What can you do in the next few days to give back? Whether it's volunteering, donating to a charity, or simply helping a neighbor, every act of kindness makes a difference.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 347 of 2024- Enjoy The Day

 Hi Friends,

After yesterday's heavy downpours, today offers a stark contrast with its bright and sunny conditions, though accompanied by freezing temperatures—a 20-degree drop. This sudden change is a vivid reminder of nature's unpredictable beauty. Sometimes, the weather changes can be as dramatic as life itself. But with today's clear blue skies, the goal is to enjoy the day and be fully present.

With just a few days left until the end of the year, stay focused on the day wherever you are. Complete your tasks and do what you can, always with a smile.

Day 346 of 2024- What Can A Rainy Day Teach You

 Hi Friends,

Happy Hump Day! I hope your week is going well so far.

It's been raining all day here, complete with heavy downpours. I've always loved the rain. Today, as I watched it fall from my window, I pondered what lessons the rain might hold. After a few deep breaths, I realized:

  1. The rain teaches me to pause and be still.
  2. It reminds me that everything changes—nothing remains the same from one moment to the next.
  3. It encourages me to take a moment to savor the present.
  4. It advises me to take care of myself, perhaps by staying indoors and spending time with loved ones.
  5. It helps me enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
  6. It serves as a symbol of renewal and cleansing, washing away the old to make way for the new.
  7. The rain teaches us resilience, showing us how nature endures and thrives even under challenging conditions.

If it's raining where you are, what lessons does the rain bring to you?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 345 of 2024-15 Days To Christmas

 Hi Friends,

Only 15 days left till Christmas—can you believe it? I’m super excited! I kinda wish I could stick around for the holidays, but we’ve got plans to head out for a while. I'm a bit torn about it, but hey, the plans are locked in, so I’m just gonna roll with it and make sure to have an awesome time.

Ever make plans way early in the year and then start second-guessing them? Yep, happens to the best of us. But some things can't be changed, so might as well make the most of it, right? It could turn out to be exactly what you needed.

Day 344 of 2024- Tolerance

 Hi Friends,

Octavia E Butler once said: 

“Tolerance,” she said, “is forever a work in progress, never completed, and, if we’re as intelligent as we like to think we are, never abandoned.”

This quote resonates deeply with me as I continue to learn and practice tolerance. It can be challenging, but it's essential that we persevere in cultivating this virtue. As the holiday season unfolds, with its long lines at malls and family gatherings, remember that patience and understanding are crucial. Tolerance can turn these moments of stress into opportunities for connection and joy. Ensure you pack a punch of tolerance to help smooth the way. May we all strive to extend understanding and kindness in our interactions.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

 Hi Friends,

Nothing is more important than getting a good night's rest, especially on a Sunday. If you've had a hectic weekend, make sure to turn in early tonight to ensure you sleep well. It feels wonderful to wake up refreshed and ready to start the week. A great sleep sets the tone for a productive day and helps you handle whatever challenges may come your way.

Take this gentle reminder to prioritize your well-being and recharge fully.

 Hi Friends,

I hope you're all well and enjoying the weekend. It's truly a magical time of year. I love seeing many houses adorned with lights and festive inflatables; the holiday season is already in full swing.

Even if you don't celebrate Christmas, remember that any time can feel magical if you truly believe. I've always believed, but to truly believe is something extraordinary.

Whatever you're doing this weekend, try to capture the magic in the air.

Wishing you peace and happiness, from my heart to yours!

Day 341 of 2024-Practice This Weekend

 Hi Friends,

This weekend, I’m hosting a small lunch for a couple of friends, and I know I’ll need to remind myself to take deep breaths and practice staying calm—especially since hosting naturally brings out the chatter in me!

These friends recently missed something important in my life, and while I’m working on letting it go, it hasn’t been easy. Some things are just hard to overlook. I’ll continue to show up as myself, but I recognize that our dynamic will likely feel different moving forward.

What do you need to practice this weekend? A little more patience? Forgiveness—even if the other person hasn’t apologized? Or perhaps learning to let go? For me, it’s all three. It’s challenging, but I know I can move past this, and I believe you can too.

Some friendship lessons are tough, but they teach us to stay true to ourselves. If letting go is what you need, know that it’s okay. Protect your peace and prioritize your happiness.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 340 of 2024- Thursday Joke

Hi Friends,

Here's a lighthearted joke to brighten your Thursday: Why did the leader go to work on a skateboard? Because they wanted to roll out some new ideas! I may not be able to skateboard myself, but just picturing it inspires me to think outside the box. Sometimes, a touch of fun is all we need to break down barriers and spark creativity. How can you add more jokes and humor into your daily routine?

Day 339 of 2024- One Of My Favorite Quotes

 Hi Friends,

This is one of my favorite quotes:

"The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases." - Carl Jung

As we gear up for the holidays and the upcoming year, it’s important to remember this insightful quote. Just as there is no single recipe for chocolate chip cookies or pasta that pleases everyone, there is no universal recipe for life. 

When you find yourself comparing your journey to others’, remember that the ingredients that make up their lives are not the same as those that compose yours. We are all unique in our own ways, and it's crucial to honor that individuality.

Embrace your path, wear your own shoes, and live life your way.

Wishing you peace and happiness, from my heart to yours!

Day 338 of 2024- Shakespeare's Quote

 Hi Friends,

As we close out the year, interestingly, I came across this quote from Shakespeare's "All's Well That Ends Well": “Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.” 

This timeless advice from the Countess of Roussillon encourages us to approach life with universal kindness, selective trust, and steadfast integrity. By loving openly, choosing carefully whom to trust, and committing to ethical behavior, we can lead lives that not only foster personal fulfillment but also enhance the fabric of our communities. 

These principles serve as a guide for building meaningful relationships and maintaining a moral compass, even in challenging situations. Embracing this guidance helps us navigate the complexities of human interactions while striving to be both compassionate and cautious.

Such a great quote for this time of the year!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

What’s on your agenda? Are you busy preparing for the holidays or finishing up your shopping? Don’t forget to include yourself on your gift list! It’s easy to get caught up thinking about what others would love, but you deserve something special too.

Day 334 of 2024-More on Gratitude

Hi Friends,

Today, I want to take a moment to talk about the powerful practice of gratitude. In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy to overlook the small moments of joy and the everyday blessings that surround us. Yet, when we pause to acknowledge these gifts, we cultivate a sense of abundance and contentment that can transform our perspective on life.

Gratitude doesn't require grand gestures or significant events. It can be as simple as savoring your morning coffee, appreciating the warm smile of a friend, or feeling thankful for the comfort of your home. Each act of recognition fuels another, building a habit that can uplift and inspire.

Let's challenge ourselves to recognize and appreciate these moments not just occasionally, but consistently. By weaving gratitude into the fabric of our daily lives, we set the stage for a richer, more fulfilling experience.

Thank you for being a part of this journey with me. Your presence is a constant reminder of the incredible power of community and connection.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 332 of 2024- Simplicity

 Hi Friends,

Leonardo da Vinci once said, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”

This timeless wisdom reminds us that doing things differently doesn’t have to be overwhelming or complex. Often, the most impactful changes come from embracing simplicity—not as a limitation, but as a source of clarity and creativity. When we step away from overcomplication, we open the door to new perspectives and innovative solutions.

Simplicity invites us to focus on what truly matters, empowering us to make intentional choices that challenge the status quo. By rethinking old habits and embracing simplicity with courage, we can discover that doing things differently isn’t something to fear—it’s an opportunity for growth, transformation, and lasting impact.

How can you add more simplicity to your daily life during this 30-day challenge?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 331 of 2024- A Quote For Doing Things Differently

Hi Friends,

Here’s a powerful quote from Maya Angelou that aligns beautifully with the theme of doing things differently:

“If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.”
— Maya Angelou

This quote is a reminder that even when circumstances feel beyond our control, we always have the power to approach things differently. Whether it’s shifting our actions, our mindset, or our perspective, small changes can lead to profound transformation.

Day 330 of 2024-Ending the Year Differently: A 30-Day Challenge

Hi Friends.

It’s hard to believe we’re in the final stretch of the year. With just a little over 30 days left, I’ve been reflecting on how to make these remaining moments truly count. In my recent posts, I shared the power of choosing one thing to do differently each day—whether it’s staying calm during chaos or practicing deep, intentional listening. Those small shifts reminded me that big transformations often begin with simple, intentional actions.

As we approach the year’s end, I’m sticking with this theme: doing one thing differently—every single day. It’s not about overhauling my life or adding more to an already full plate. Instead, it’s about embracing small, meaningful changes that help me stay present and finish the year with purpose.

For example, on hectic days, I plan to focus on calm, as I mentioned before. Taking a few deep breaths, savoring a warm cup of tea, or even stepping away for a moment can make a world of difference. On other days, I’ll lean into being fully present with those around me—listening deeply, without distraction. Each small choice is a step toward ending the year with intention.

The beauty of this approach is its simplicity. Each day, I can ask myself: What’s the one thing I’ll do differently today? It could be starting a new morning ritual, reconnecting with someone I’ve lost touch with, or choosing gratitude over frustration. These moments of intentionality are what make the end of the year feel special—not the rush to accomplish everything on a checklist.

So here’s my challenge to you: Let’s use these final 30 plus days to embrace the power of small changes. Let’s stay curious about what a simple shift can spark, and let’s finish the year feeling connected—to ourselves, to others, and to what truly matters.

What’s one thing you’ll do differently today? Let’s take this journey together, one day at a time.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 329 of 2024-The Power Of Doing One Thing Differently

 Hi Friends,

Sometimes, it’s easy to overlook how small changes can make a big difference. After reflecting yesterday on staying calm, I realized how powerful it is to intentionally shift just one part of my day. It’s not about overhauling everything; it’s about choosing one thing that could ripple outward and transform how I feel.

Today, my focus is on listening—really listening. Whether it’s a conversation with a friend, a colleague, or even myself, I want to be fully present. No interruptions, no multitasking. I’ve noticed how much deeper connections feel when I genuinely hear someone, instead of just waiting to respond. It’s amazing how often we underestimate the impact of truly being present.

So here’s my challenge to you: What’s the one thing you’ll do differently today? It doesn’t have to be monumental—small changes often lead to the greatest growth.

Start with one step, and watch where it leads.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 328 of 2024- Do Differently

 Hi Friends,

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on how our routines often follow the same patterns day after day. It got me thinking: What’s one thing I can do differently today? If I were to break the mold, even slightly, what would that look like?

A lot of ideas came to mind, but for today, my focus is on staying calm. It’s going to be a hectic weekend, and I know that staying calm is the key to navigating it all. For me, that means accepting that I might stay up later than usual, get less sleep, and still remain steady. A calming ritual—like savoring a warm cup of tea—can make all the difference, helping me move through the chaos with ease.

So, friends, I pose the same question to you: What’s the one thing you’ll do differently today? Whatever it is, make it intentional and meaningful.

Let’s start small and see where it takes us.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 327 of 2024- Great Friday Quote

 Hi Friends,

Judy Garland once said:

"Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of someone else."

This powerful reminder emphasizes the importance of staying true to who you are. Embrace your unique qualities and authenticity—it’s what makes you truly exceptional. Trying to imitate others only dims your light, while being your genuine self allows you to shine in ways no one else can. Always remember, your individuality is your greatest strength.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 326 of 2024- Take Care

 Hi Friends,

We’re getting close to the weekend, and for many of us, there’s a holiday coming up next week. As you think about the weekend and the upcoming holidays, I want to remind you to keep taking care of yourself.

Take some time to relax, recharge, and do the things that make you happy. This is certainly a busy time of year, but taking care of yourself should always be a priority. Never forget that.

Remember, when you take care of yourself, you’re better able to show up for others and truly enjoy the season. So, give yourself permission to rest and recharge—you’ve earned it.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 325 of 2024- Its A Good Day

 Hi Friends,

If you're having a good day so far, take a moment to appreciate it. Weekdays are often packed with work stress, taking care of kids, running errands, and countless other responsibilities. But when you find yourself enjoying a calm, easy day, be grateful and savor the moment—it can quickly shift from peaceful to hectic in an instant.

As for me, I’m having a good day so far, and I plan to fully enjoy this moment while it lasts.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours.

Day 324 of 2024- Tuesday's Quote

Hi Friends,

I came across this quote today:

"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." — Carl Rogers

This resonates deeply because, so often, we believe we need to change first in order to deserve our own acceptance. We set conditions for self-worth, thinking, “I’ll accept myself once I lose the weight, get the promotion, or fix what’s wrong with me.” But the truth is, lasting change only begins with acceptance.

Acceptance isn’t about giving up or settling; it’s about acknowledging and embracing ourselves as we are in this moment—flaws, strengths, and everything in between. It’s the foundation of growth. Without it, change becomes a struggle rooted in rejection and self-criticism, which only makes transformation harder to sustain.

Paradoxically, when we stop resisting who we are and choose to embrace our imperfections, we create the space for true, meaningful change to happen. Acceptance is the first step, not the last, and it opens the door to becoming the best version of ourselves.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

    Day 322 of 2024- Allies and Adversaries

     Hi Friends,

    This morning, while listening to the news, I heard the words "adversary" and "ally." These terms made me pause and reflect on the roles people play in our lives. An adversary, often seen in a negative light, is someone who opposes us, creating challenges or conflicts that can either hinder or, surprisingly, help us grow. On the other hand, an ally is a supporter, someone who aids us, stands by our side, and promotes our well-being.

    As we progress through November and December to close out the year, I strongly encourage you to review your friendships and other relationships to determine who truly stands as an adversary or an ally. This introspection is vital as it helps us understand who we should draw closer and who we might need to keep at a distance.

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Day 321 of 2024- Weekend Ritual

     Hi Friends,

    Hope you’re all enjoying your weekend! Do you have a weekend ritual? For me, it’s savoring my coffee slowly, taking in each sip. There’s something special about enjoying my morning coffee without the usual rush — it’s a moment of calm that sets a positive tone for the rest of the day.

    If you don’t have a ritual yet, I highly recommend starting one. It could be a simple activity, like a walk in nature or listening to your favorite music. Creating these small pockets of joy can make the weekend feel more intentional and help you recharge for the week ahead.

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Day 320 of 2024- End Your Friday

     Hi Friends,

    Happy Friday! As the week comes to a close, take a moment to tie up any loose ends and wrap up unfinished tasks. This way, you can head into the weekend with a clear mind, free from lingering worries. When you log off today, make it a point to disconnect and truly step away from work—your time to rest and recharge is just as important as the work itself.

    Remember, the tasks will still be there on Monday, but this weekend is a one-time offer. So, enjoy it fully.

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Day 319 of 2024- Continuation on Working Together

     Hi Friends,

    Reflecting on the importance of setting aside differences and effective communication from my post yesterday, I felt compelled to share more about why these two aspects are critical for collaboration.

    Setting aside differences isn’t easy—it requires patience and a willingness to look beyond our personal perspectives. However, when there’s a shared goal, it provides a common anchor. Focusing on this goal helps to redirect our energy toward what’s truly important, allowing us to work together productively despite differing opinions or approaches.

    When it comes to communication, I’ve found that the key is understanding each other’s expectations and consistently bringing the conversation back to the shared objective. It’s not always about agreeing with one another, but about creating clarity and alignment. In my experience, what matters most is being able to set aside emotional responses in the moment and stay focused on the desired outcome. This doesn’t mean ignoring your feelings, but rather recognizing them and prioritizing the path forward.

    I hope these insights resonate and serve as a reminder that even in challenging moments, a shared vision and clear communication can make all the difference.

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Day 318 of 2024- Working Together

    Hi Friends,

    Happy Hump Day! Hope your week is going well. I’ve been thinking about teamwork lately. In my experience, I've often worked independently, but I know that's not the case for everyone. Some teams really need to collaborate, and that can be challenging at times.

    Today, I just want to remind you: effective teamwork means setting aside differences and focusing on communication. It’s the key to true success when working with others. Keep that in mind as you collaborate with your teammates.

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

     Hi Friends,

    I hope you’re all having a fantastic day so far! Here’s a quick little joke to add some lightness to your afternoon:

    Reminder: Don’t leave any food around your computer...

    It takes a lot of bytes! 🍎💻

    And if your computer starts snacking, just make sure it doesn’t get a megabyte... or it might crash! 😅

    Wishing you a smile and a moment of laughter. Remember, taking a break to laugh is a great way to reboot your mind. Have a wonderful day, and don’t forget to back up your happiness files today!

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    As you take time to rest and recharge for the upcoming week, remember to stay strong. We all have a lot going on, and there are days when it’s hard to even get out of bed and tackle the tasks on our list. But true strength is about showing up and taking action, even when you don’t feel like it. Every small step forward counts, and your perseverance will lead you closer to your goals. Keep going—you’ve got this!

    Hi Friends,

    I love weekends when I can stick to my regular sleep schedule. It’s not always easy, but I find that keeping a consistent routine helps me feel more refreshed and ready to enjoy the days ahead.

    This weekend, I’m happy to say I’m getting my usual rest, and it feels amazing! It’s a small act of self-care, but it makes a big difference. If you can, try to keep your sleep schedule on track during the weekends too — your body and mind will thank you for it.

    Take a moment to slow down, recharge, and savor the simple joys.

    Day 313 of 2024- I Love This Time Of The Year

     Hi Friends,

    Happy Friday! You made it through the week — well done.

    I truly love this time of year. The cool mornings and pleasant afternoons make it perfect for enjoying the weather. I also love seeing all the holiday preparations and decorations; it just makes me smile and brings joy to my heart.

    It’s a great reminder that in a few weeks, we’ll have the chance to slow down, savor life, and spend time with loved ones and friends. It’s a good reminder to build in those slow, reflective moments not just during the holiday season, but throughout the entire year.

    I also love that my kids get to slow down, and we all get to enjoy the moments together. It’s never too early to cheer yourself up and feel the joy of the upcoming holidays.

    Wishing you peace and happiness, from my heart to yours!

    Day 312 of 2024- Question Of The Day

     Hi Friends,

    Are you sticking to what you said you would do?

    In the rush of our daily lives, it’s easy to let our goals slip through the cracks. We make commitments to ourselves, big and small—whether it’s a work project, a personal goal, or even just a promise to take time for self-care. But sticking to these promises is what really drives growth and success.

    How often do we find ourselves saying, “I’ll get to it tomorrow,” or “I’ll start next week”? Let’s take a moment to check in with ourselves: Are we following through on what we set out to do?

    Sometimes, all it takes is a small shift in our habits or mindset to get back on track. Let’s start today by honoring those commitments we made to ourselves.

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Day 311 of 2024- What Will You Rediscover

     Hi Friends,

    Today, I challenge you to do something you haven’t done in a long time. Maybe it’s practicing gratitude, going to the gym, picking up a book, trying a new dish, or reaching out to a family member or friend.

    For me, the one thing I haven’t done in ages but want to tackle is learning a new language. I started learning Mandarin at the beginning of the year, but after a week, I couldn’t keep up. Now, I’m ready to give it another try.

    What will you do that you haven’t done in a while?

     Hi Friends,

    Setting aside time to tackle your most important tasks not only ensures they get done but also frees up space for new ideas to emerge.

    This morning, I committed to completing my top priorities and started right on schedule. After finishing, I felt a deep sense of pride for persevering through the challenges and seeing them through to the end.

    So, I encourage you to designate a specific time for your tasks and stick with it. You'll be amazed at what you can accomplish!

    Day 309 of 2024- Monday's Quote

     Hi Friends,

    Charles Darwin once said, "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent. It is the one most adaptable to change."

    You are on a journey, and the single most essential trait for both survival and success is adaptability. Intelligence alone won't get you far—without adaptability, you'll remain stagnant.

    Focus on being adaptable, and you'll find yourself moving forward with ease.

    Have a wonderful week!

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Day 308 of 2024- Something For You To Consider

    Hi Friends,

    There's an old adage that says, “Old ways won’t open new doors,” attributed to Sam Horn. As we move through the rest of this month and year, I invite you to consider what new possibilities await you. What new doors can you open by building fresh habits, adopting new perspectives, or finding innovative ways of doing things?

    Starting now, take a moment to envision the changes you want to make in your life—changes that bring you closer to your goals, dreams, and aspirations. Don’t wait; the best time to begin is today! Opening new doors may feel uncomfortable or even scary at times. But true growth and leadership come from embracing these feelings and stepping forward with courage. Remember, you don’t need to have it all figured out. Each small step leads to new opportunities.

    Becoming the leader of your life means accepting the discomfort that comes with change, knowing it’s a sign that you’re expanding and evolving. With awareness and intention, you can take the steps needed to create a future that truly resonates with who you are.

    Remember, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. 

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

I say, let’s have more smiles and laughter than seriousness!

    May you be filled with joy.

    Make the most of these next 60 days to finish the month and year strong.

     Hi Friends,

    Here we are at the end of October—you've made it through another month!

    Take some time today to reflect on the month’s end. What went well? What are you grateful for? What goals did you achieve? What moments brought you smiles and laughter? What challenges did you face, and how did you overcome them?

    Reflection is a wonderful way to review the month and say goodbye to October. As you reflect, jot down anything meaningful that comes to mind. Get ready to let go and leave October behind.

     Hi Friends,

    The words "think high" came to mind today. To me, it means approaching life with the same vastness as the sky. As we near the end of 2024—a year we'll never see again—I started to feel a bit anxious. That’s when “think high” resonated with me.

    Yes, 2025 is on the horizon, but we still have over 60 days left in this year. My goal, and hopefully yours too, is to think high and dream as big as the sky. Instead of dwelling on the past nine months, let's focus on what's ahead. How will you end the year on a high note?

    "I was smart enough to go through any door that opened." - Joan Rivers

    Joan Rivers' words remind us to embrace opportunities that come our way, especially as we approach significant milestones like the end of the year. It’s a time to reflect on the doors that have opened for us and the courage it takes to step through them. As you look back over the past months and plan for the new year, consider the paths you've taken and the ones still awaiting your footsteps. Let's  make the most of every chance we get to grow and excel.

Prioritizing sleep is not just about shutting your eyes earlier; it's about allowing your body to rejuvenate and your mind to unwind from the stresses of the day. Think of it as resetting your internal systems—your productivity, mood, and health will thank you tomorrow. So, tonight, give yourself the gift of ample sleep and wake up refreshed and ready to embrace the day!

     Hi Friends,

    Happy Monday! Here we are at another start of the week.

    For this week, think about one work goal that you would like to complete. I have a presentation that has been pending since last week, and I haven't even started. I know it won't take long to accomplish, and I have all the details to put it together, but the truth is I've been procrastinating. Now, my deadline is this Wednesday.

    Do you have a task to complete or a goal that you just need to finish? Set a deadline and stick to it. Reward yourself after you've completed the task.

    Have a wonderful week!

    Day 293 of 2024- Make More Room For Fun

     Hi Friends,

    Let’s be real—life can get pretty busy. Between work, family, and a to-do list that never ends, it’s easy to let the fun stuff slip through the cracks. But what if I told you that making room for fun is just as essential as hitting deadlines or sticking to your routines?

    Start by scheduling fun like an appointment. Yes, you read that right! Just like a meeting or a workout, put fun on your calendar. Whether it’s a 20-minute walk, a silly dance break, or an hour for that hobby you never seem to get to, block the time and treat it like a non-negotiable meeting—with yourself!

    Now, go schedule that appointment and have fun!

    Have a great Saturday!

Your time isn’t somewhere far off; it’s right here, right now. What choices are you making? How are you thinking and speaking? What is driving you—or holding you back? And what obstacles are in your way?

    Day 291 of 2024- Play

     Hi Friends,

    As you think about your plans and goals for the remaining of the month and year think about adding in play time. I know I tend to get more serious towards the end of the year since I want to end the year strong but the goal is not to be all serious and to add in play time for yourself.

    For me, that means more gym time, more time with my close ones and more time just doing the things I love doing. Note what your playtime looks like and make every effort to make it happen.

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

     Hi Friends,

    Here we are mid October. Take time today to reflect on how the month is going for you? What are some of the challenges that you are experiencing? What needs to change? Note how you would like to end the month and work towards achieving that feeling. 

    Use this time to think about the rest of the year. With only 2.5 months left in the year, what can you put in place to have a successful year end? Plan ahead now and make not only a wonderful month end but also a year end. Don't waste any time remaining. 

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Peace

    Day 287 of 2024- Sleep In

     Hey Friends,

    Take every opportunity you get to sleep in especially on a Sunday. I typically tend to wake up early even on the weekends just due to my body rhythms. This morning however, I slept in a couple hours past my regular wake up time and boy did it feel great. 

    I think just being tired helps to go to bed early and sleep in a lot later. Even if you are not too tired, use the opportunity to sleep in when you get and get the rest that you need. 

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Have a great Saturday!

    Day 285 of 2024- What Went Well

     Hey Friends,

    You made it through another week. Hopefully it was a great one.

    Spend sometime today thinking about what went well this week. I know you are done with the week and look forward to a couple of days off but take a few minutes and note what went well. A lot of times we are stressed about things when they go wrong but I want to shift your attention to what went right. 

    So before you head out for the evening, think about what went right and note how that makes you feel. 

    Have a great weekend!

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Day 284 of 2024- Planning For The Weekend

     Hey Friends,

    Plan for the weekend before the weekend. I know that for me this weekend is going to be busy with family so I planned ahead to take a half of on Friday to have sometime for myself.

    So friends, think about the weekend much earlier and when possible always schedule time for yourself.

    Day 283 of 2024- No News Before Bedtime

     Hey Friends,

    One thing that I have learned is the importance of not tuning in to the news before bedtime. I catch up on the news in the morning and afternoon but I am really careful as to what I listen to at the end of the day. 

    For me, it works to have downtime and not be on any media sites if I can help it. So establish a routine for yourself and one that works for you so you can have a relaxing time before turning in for the night or ending the day. Feed your mind with the right things. 

    Have a great evening.

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Day 282 of 2024- Keep this in mind

     Hey Friends,

    As the days go by so fast and we near the end of the year, keep this William Shakespeare quote in mind:

    "There is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so."

    Watch your thoughts as you end the year and change them if you need to.

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Day 280 of 2024- Sunday Reflection

     Hey Friends,

    As we get ready to start another week ahead, take sometime to reflect on how you can prioritize your time. I have had so many competing priorities that it has been hard to manage my time and when I do get a few minutes, I either want to take a quick nap or read.

    So see what you have on your calendar this week and plan it out so you can maximize time for yourself. 

    Have a great Sunday!

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Day 279 of 2024- Weekend agenda

     Hi Friends,

    So what's on the weekend agenda? We always have to do list during the weekdays, however, I feel the weekends should be all about relaxing and fun and that is what on my agenda. Sometimes that is hard since my teenage kids have lots going on but for myself, I always ensure that my agenda is filled with relaxation and things that I like to do. 

    So look at what you have going on and have a great weekend.

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

     Hey Friends,

    I hope you are having a great week so far. Hopefully you are starting to think about what you would like to do for the month. Think about some goals and it does not have to be big. You will likely be more motivated to accomplish the smaller ones anyways.

    Don't let this just be another month. Put some time and thought into how you would like to end the month and go from there. Remember to always be grateful and hope for the best,

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Day 275 of 2024- October 1

     Hey Friends,

    Happy October. I love this month. Fall feels great with the cooler mornings and nice afternoon. October is a time to let go. As the leaves start to fall and the weather changes, think about what you need to let go this fall. 

    Its a great time for reflection and shedding of things and people you don't need in your life. Learn to say goodbye as it as it is. 

    Have a great month!

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

     Hey Friends,

    Hope you all are well. Its another lovely Monday. Its been raining and I absolutely love the rain. It feels so calming. 

    Here we are at the last Monday of September. Time is just going by so fast. I hope this was a good month for you filled with love and great learning opportunities and if it was not a good month, remember that everything is a lesson in some form. 

    So today as we say to September 2024, take sometime to write down a few things that you are grateful for. What were your accomplishments this months? What worked for you and did not work for you? Did you remember to take time for yourself to truly relax and enjoy?

    Note how this month went. It is always good to reflect and take the lessons. Remember to smile at yourself and all the things that happened this month. You did great and am super proud of you. Now lets close this month.

    Day 273 of 2024- Happy Sunday

     Hey Friends,

    As I mentioned in my post yesterday to connect and be with nature, one of the things I love to do is open the windows when I drive the car on a beautiful autumn day. 

    If you are out and about just put on your favorite music and open the windows of your car. Go ahead and sing out aloud! Feel free and just take in the car. It changes your mood completely. 

    Have a great Sunday!

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

     Hey Friends,

    This weekend find time for stillness. For me the only way is to be out in nature. All things feel great once we are with nature and it is a cure all. 

    "I believe that there is a subtle magnetism in Nature, which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright."- Henry David Thoreau

    Have a great weekend outdoors!

     Hey Friends,

    Day 270 of 2024- Lazy day

     Hi Friends,

    Its a working day and I am feeling lazy to do any work. We all have felt that way many times I am sure. So today, instead of trying to push through, I am just going to allow myself to feel the laziness and not actually not do the difficult tasks at work but the simpler and lighter ones. Its okay to feel that way and I hope you allow yourself to feel lazy and take it easy.

    Have a great one!

    Day 269 of 2024- Its mid week

     Hey Friends,

    Happy hump day! We are half way through the week. Take a pause sometime today and see how you are feeling? Are you just going from one thing to another without taking a break for yourself. I know a lot of time there is no room to breathe since they is so much to get done between work and home.

    Don't forget to take care of the most important person in your life and that is you. Take a pause and check in with yourself. Take a break, re-center than carry on. Notice how you feel and make sure to build in pauses during the day for yourself.

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    So today marks the turn of the season to fall. It reminds me of life starting in a new way. With the leaves falling and the air getting crisp, its a perfect time think about your fall plans. 

    It is a beautiful time of the year and my hope is that you make the most of it. Go for walks, spend time in nature watching the leaves fly, feel the breeze on your face and take some deep breathes. 

    Enjoy the fall and make some great memories.

    Day 262 of 2024- Get it done

     Hey Friends,

    There will be many times where you know you have to get something done and just can't seem to get to it. Well, I have been feeling that way all week with work where there is so much to do and I just don't get around to doing it. Sound familiar...

    Its not that we can avoid keeping it off for long but we just keep putting it off. The excuses are almost endless or we just don't have the energy to get to it. In my case, the one thing that helped me was to just sit with my computer and do the work. I knew that I could not delay it anymore and just getting through it was the only answer.

    So if you are feeling that way, set an alarm clock and when it goes off, get to work and finish the thing that you need to do. You will be glad that you did. 

    Have a great day!

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Day 261 of 2024- Finish what you plan

     Hey Friends,

    So this morning I went to the gym but did not quite finish my workout. I said to myself that I will come back later in the afternoon to finish my workout. The afternoon rolls around and I did start to hesitate. I made up all kinds of excuses about how it can wait till tomorrow, that I am tired and there is still a lot to do at home. 

    But when I finished running my errand, I changed to my gym clothes and actually went to finish my workout from the morning. It felt so good. So lesson learned here is to always finish what you plan for no matter how you are feeling. Push through the negative thoughts and just get it done. You will feel amazing and will not regret it at all. I know that I will definitely have a great evening and night. 

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

     Hey Friends,

    Hope you all are well. Oh its so hard to sometimes do the right thing for people who have not done right by you. I am facing that in my life now and I have decided to do the right thing and be the better person.

    In a difficult situation, you need to rise above the occasion and do what feels right in your heart. I am going to do just that since it feels right to me. Think about this the next time you are facing people who are difficult. Always do what feels right in your heart. 

    Have a great evening/morning.

    Day 242 of 2024- If you get a chance

     Hey Friends,

    So I have a chance to take tomorrow off and I jumped on it. There was no second thought. If you get a chance take the time off that you need. A lot of us only take time off when we have vacations planned but the challenge is to take the time off even if you have no plans. 

    We all need a days rest here and there and it can do wonders to make us feel good. So if you get a chance, plans or no plans take the day off anytime you need it. 

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

If you are feeling great well then that's great but if you are not feeling so great, then see if there is anything you can do to uplift yourself. 

    Have a great evening or morning!

    As you end your day today, remember to just be thankful and take a few deep breathes. Notice how you are feeling. If you are feeling tensed then do some deep stretches to ease the tension in your body or if you have time sit in a hot tub. 

    I always find it helpful to do some relaxation before ending the day and to take a few minutes and say thanks. Make it a habit. Its life changing. 

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Peace

    Day 238 of 2024- First weekend since schools started

     Hey Friends,

    I am sure many of you are in the same boat as I am in with kids back in school. This was the first weekend for them since they started school. 

    The first few days back in school are always hard as they get adjusted to their schedules and go back to having a more structured schedule. School is certainly very demanding and they need to work hard. When I look at my kids, I keep remembering that I to work hard and not forget the resiliency that we all have in us. 

    So on this Sunday, remind your kids and yourself that yes it an adjustment back to school but they can get through it and that they have the resiliency to power through everything that comes up.

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Peace

    Day 237 of 2024- Great Quote for your weekend

     Hey Friends,

    Hope you are having a great Saturday. Here is a great quote by Marcel Proust:

    "If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time."

    My friends, you task this weekend is to dream more and to keep dreaming. I want you to dream all the things that you want in your life. Just keep having those day dreams and stay lost in them as often as you need to get what you want. 

    Dream away cause that is exactly what I am doing.

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Day 236 of 2024- End With A Smile

     Hello Friends,

    It has been a long week. I was sick all week and had to deal with a lot of deliverables. It was a tough one but we are all familiar with tough weeks. Regardless of how sick I felt, I choose to end the week with a smile and I hope you do to. 

    Even though it was a rough week, I managed to get through it and did the best I could and so with that I am going to smile. We all always do our best, I hope and with that end your day with a smile to yourself and thank yourself for getting through it. 

    Have a great weekend.

    Day 235 of 2024- Be Gentle

     Hey Friends,

    With certain people and acquittances that I know, I be to remind myself to be gentle with some of the things that they say and the way that I chose to respond.

    I am really great at being gentle with my own self, my loved ones and my closest friends. There are some people and their behaviors that are hard for me to just keep my cool. But I always do and I always choose a gentle response and walk away and if I need to. 

    So friends, be gentle no matter what. 

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Day 233 of 2024- Take Breaks

     Hey Friends,

    Every now and then you need to take more frequent breaks than normal and for me this is becoming more of the case. I have been under the weather and am finding myself to take more breaks than needed which is normal when you are not well. 

    Today, I decided to take a break from work and nap for 20 minutes. I could not actually nap but just lying down felt so good. I decided that from now on I do not need to be under the weather to take a break and will take breaks more frequently throughout the workdays. 

    Work is just work and all of us need to add in more frequent breaks even if you don't feel like you need it. Just rest when possible and make rest one of you mottos for the rest of this year and going forward.

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Day 231 of 2024- Don't forget

     Hey Friends!

    As kids start the next school year and as we begin to get into a new season coming up in a month or so, its important not to forget your goals and to keep setting new and realistic goals with deadlines. 

    Given that there are just about 4.5 months left in the year and we are more than half way through the year, think about what goals you had set at the start of the month or the year. Its never to late and its all the more important to keep them front and center. 

    Keep pushing ahead my friends. You've got this.

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Day 230 of 2024- Last Weekend Before School Starts

     Hey Friends,

    So this is the last weekend for my kids before they head back to school next week. Summer has gone by so quickly so now comes another school year. 

    I hope that all the kids enjoy the last weekend before school starts and that they get to just relax and have a good time with you. School is stressful so use any weekend you get to help them destress. Just sitting and enjoying the moment is also great. Its not what you do but the time that you all have together. 

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

     Hey Friends,

    We made it to Friday! Great job on getting through the week. So if you are not going out and just hanging in this weekend, make sure you take time to listen to your favorite songs. Music can really help you destress and just makes you feel so good overall.

    Turn on the music this weekend and just dance. Release all you need to and let the music heal your soul and soothe you. 

    Have a great one!

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Day 228 of 2024- Did you know

     Hey Friends,

    So I like to learn new words as often as possible and I think we should all learn new words daily if we can. Today I came across the word "frabjous." What a great word and it means to be fabulous and joyous at the same time. 

    So friends if you have ever felt fabulous and joyous at the same time you know now say to others that you are feeling frabjous. I just like saying the word whether I am feeling it or not. 

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Day 223 of 2024- Happiness Quote

     Hey Friends,

    "Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony."-Mahatma Gandhi

    I love the quote above and it will now be one of my favorite quotes for the rest of this year and going forward. Harmony is key in the way we live and not living in harmony is not happiness or joy. 

    Take sometime to think about the quote above and what living in harmony means to you. 

    Enjoy the weekend!

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Day 219 of 2024- Say Goodnight

     Hello Friends,

    I know its morning for some of you and its night where I am. As we get ready to wind down make it habit to say good night to your loved ones if you don't already.

    I strongly believe in ending the day on a good note and saying good night puts the finale to the day. Its also important to wish good morning and good afternoon as the day starts. 

    With good night, you are ending the day and moving forward to the next.

    Day 218 of 2024- Bedtime

     Hey Friends,

    We all have different bedtimes and for most of us, as much as we try to get to bed at a certain hour, things come up that can delay that time. 

    One thing I found helpful if I know I am going to bed at a later time is to try and get relaxed with deep breathes before that and to change my alarm clock to make up for the time if I can. A lot of times when I go to bed later it truly affects me a lot the next day so I plan in advance for the next day and move my priorities around.

    So friends when you have a later bedtime than usual, take the time to make up for the sleep or make sure to make it up sometime during the week.

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Day 216 of 2024- What Matters

     Hey Friends,

    What matters to you most? This is something I think about constantly. What matters to me and who matters are the most important questions you need to ask yourself.

    Given that there is only 4 months left in the year, really ask yourself what matters to you most. You need to be clear and list your top 5 things. Once you have that, figure out how to do more of what matters to you most. 

    Friends time is on your side and to make the most of it, do what matters. 

    Smile and always be grateful.

    Have a great weekend!

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    As we start the month of August, take sometime to write down what you wish to happen this month. Just as you close your eyes and make a wish when you blow out a candle for your special occasion, close your eyes and make a wish for what you would like to see happen this month. 

    Do you have a sense on how you would like the month to go? If so, make that wish on the ending of this month and write it down or just sit with your eyes close and think abou the ending of the month.

     Hey Friends,

    Happy end of July. How did the month go for you? What was your biggest challenge? What was your happy moment?

    Take sometime to review the month and think about the questions. It helps to take a step back and look at all the things that happened and then you take the lessons and move forward. 

    Friends, make sure you reflect, give thanks and pause.

    As we approach the end of July and as I return home after being away for 2 weeks, I am thinking about the end of the month and the year approaching quickly.

    Day 211 of 2024- As I head Back

     Hey Friends,

    I came across this quote that is really applicable with where I am in life:

    “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” — Wayne Gretzky

    This quote is for everyone no matter where you are in life. For me this one is a constant reminder that life is short and if I don't take my shots now, then when. That goes for the same of you all!

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Day 210 of 2024- A lesson

     Hey Friends,

    The one thing I think is important for leadership is to be more mindful in their words whether it is live or over email.

    Since I am away, I texted my leader to let her know about my return plans. She immediately responded with things that are upcoming on the calendar instead of even asking how I am doing or maybe even just waiting till I am back since I really can't do much where I am. But that was not the case. 

    So you really can't control how the leaders lead but I did choose to not let her affect me in anyway. This was a lesson about character and now I know how to respond. Friends, this is also life right. You really can't help how people are but you can truly control you. 

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Day 209 of 2024- Current Challenge

     Hey Friends,

    As I am away I could not help but think about my current challenge. I know that being away has made my diet really difficult to follow and I have been eating things I really should not. 

    Because I know that this is temporary, I also know that my current challenge is to figure out how to get back on track. I know that I can do it but coming up with a plan and sticking to it is absolutely key. 

    So today, think about your current challenge and think about a plan to deal with the challenge. 

    Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

    Peace
