Day 127 of 2025- Mid Week Thought

 Hi Friends,

It’s Wednesday, that weird in-between space where the week feels both endless and flying by.

If you're anything like me, this is the day when the pressure starts to pile up. The deadlines, the meetings, the messages that start with “Just circling back…”  they all hit a little harder.

And maybe today’s the day you quietly say to yourself:
“This is where I draw the line.”

Not in anger. Not in drama. Just with calm clarity.

You don’t have to overextend to prove your value. You don’t have to say yes to everything. You don’t have to keep pushing just because the calendar says it’s only Wednesday.

Take a pause. Take your space. Set the boundary.
You’re not falling behind, you’re standing tall.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 126 of 2025- A wonderful Quote

 Hi Friends,

Rosa Parks once said: "The only tired I was, was tired of giving in."

On that December day in 1955, Parks made a stand by sitting down. Her refusal to give up her seat was not an act of defiance for attention, but a quiet, resolute declaration: enough was enough.

In that moment, her quiet resistance became a roar that awakened a movement. Her words remind us that there comes a point when yielding is no longer strength, it becomes surrender.

Sometimes, the bravest thing we can do is say, “I won’t give in anymore.”

Let this be your mantra for as long as you need to.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 125 of 2025- Monday Focus Strategies

Hi Friends,

One of the greatest challenges I face on Mondays, especially during the first couple of hours, is staying focused and catching up on emails from Friday or the weekend. You might feel the same way.

I’ve learned not to force myself to focus when it’s just not there, especially if there are no urgent deadlines. Instead, I try to be gentle with myself and ease into the Monday rhythm. For me, being gentle means giving myself space, time to organize my thoughts, plan the week, and ease into tasks without diving headfirst into a flood of emails or back-to-back meetings.

As I have become more gentle with myself,  I actually become more productive and grounded as the day unfolds. So if Mondays feel a bit overwhelming for you too, maybe give yourself permission to slow down and start the week with intention rather than urgency.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 124 of 2025-May 4th

 Hi Friends,

“And remember… the Force will be with you, always.” 

It’s just a whisper of a line in Star Wars, spoken gently by Obi-Wan Kenobi as Luke Skywalker steps into the unknown. 

This isn’t just science fiction poetry. It's a promise: that something deeper than fear walks with you. In the Star Wars world, the Force is everywhere, threaded through people, nature, even silence.

In our world, maybe the Force could be intuition. Or resolve. Or the voice in your gut that says, You’ve got this, even when everything else says otherwise.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 123 of 2025- A Relaxing Saturday

 Hi Friends,

I hope you’ve been keeping up your smiling streak this week and that it continues always.

For me, a quiet Saturday with nothing on the agenda is the perfect opportunity to relax, take a nap, and spend time with my kids and myself.

I really value moments of stillness and encourage you to carve out time for yourself, especially on the weekends. Sometimes, the best peace comes from simply doing nothing, just looking up at the sky and being present.

Enjoy your Saturday!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 122 of 2025-Smile and Stress

Hi Friends,

How is your week going so far? Busy, for sure. As I was driving my kid home, I saw a dad carrying his child, who looked to be about a year old, and I noticed her beautiful smile. It brought a smile to my face.

Did you notice anyone smiling today? How about sharing a smile yourself? It truly helps reduce stress—whether you're ending your day or just starting it.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 121 of 2025-End and Beginning Of A New Month

Hi Friends,

We’ve just closed out April and are stepping into a brand new month, May. Take a moment to pause and reflect:

  • What were some of your key takeaways from April?
  • What moments brought you joy or excitement?
  • What challenges did you overcome, and what are you most grateful for?

As May begins, think about the goals you want to set.

  • What would you like to accomplish this month personally, professionally, or spiritually?
  • What habits do you want to build or let go of?
  • Where would you like to see yourself by the end of May?

Take this opportunity to reflect, refocus, and realign. Be grateful for how far you've come and stay committed to the path ahead. Keep moving forward with hope.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 120 of 2025- Wednesday's Reflection

 Hi Friends,

Oh, how I love the middle of the week. It is not the start full of pressure and it is not quite Friday yet. It is this quiet space in between, a moment to look ahead with excitement to the weekend.

And speaking of looking ahead, sometimes life surprises you, especially when people reveal who they truly are and it is not at all what you expected. In those moments, the best thing you can do is smile. Smile because now you know. Smile because truth, even when unexpected, is a gift. 

Everything is a gift so smile always.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 119 of 2025- Smiling Today

 Hi Friends,

Are you smiling this morning? I am!

This week, I'm making it a point to focus more on smiling and I hope you will too. If you're not already smiling, think of something good: a happy memory, a funny moment, or someone you love. It doesn’t take much to turn a moment around.

As Charles Gordy once said, "A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks."

So, my friends, if you’re not in the mood to dress up or put on makeup, no worries  a smile is all the "dress and makeup" you’ll ever need. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 118 of 2025- Monday Smiley

 Hi Friends,

Here’s a quote I came up with to start the week:

"Monday is too important to approach with a straight face."

As we kick off the week, remember even if you’re not feeling like smiling this morning, I encourage you to look in the mirror and give yourself a big smile. Let’s set the tone and not let Monday get the best of us!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 117 of 2025-Sunday Quote

 Hi Friends,

"Sunday clears away the rust of the whole week." — Joseph Addison

Sundays are a natural pause, a day when we can shake off the stress, fatigue, and busyness that build up throughout the week. Sunday offers us a chance to renew ourselves: to rest, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most. 

It's a day to breathe deeper, laugh louder, and move slower and to let gratitude, peace, and intention replace the noise of everyday life. Honor Sunday as a time of restoration.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 116 of 2025- Dinner Decisions

 Hi Friends,

We can all use help every single day, and when it comes to making decisions, like what to have for dinner, I try to just go with the first thing that comes to mind. Sometimes we overthink the little things, and for me, after a long day at work, dinner is the one thing I don’t want to stress about. So whatever comes to mind first, that’s what’s for dinner, no second-guessing, no pressure.

It’s okay to give ourselves permission to go easy on the small ones.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 115 of 2025-Just Notice

Hi Friends,

Today, I found myself in a difficult situation while in a room with others. I was talking to someone I know well, and our conversation touched on something that pulled me in two directions. My heart felt one thing, but my head was saying something else. I reacted on the inside, quietly, not really sure what I was feeling or thinking in that moment.

We’ve all had those moments, when your inner world feels a little messy, and you're caught between emotion and reason. It’s not always easy to make sense of it right away. But I’m learning that it’s okay to not have it all figured out. Sometimes just noticing what’s happening inside is the first step toward understanding yourself better.

The takeaway for me is this: when I give myself permission to pause and feel without judgment, I begin to connect more honestly with what’s really going on.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 114 of 2025- Evening Reset

 Hi Friends,

Don’t forget to create a little space between the end of your workday and the start of your evening routines. I like to walk around the house for a bit or catch up on the news before diving into any household tasks. It helps me pause, reset, and transition into the rest of the evening with a clearer mind.

What are some things you like to do to unwind after work?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 113 of 2025- Almost End Of April

 Hi Friends,

As we approach the end of April and settle into the heart of spring, at least in my part of the world, this is a gentle reminder to pause and reflect. 

With just about a week left in the month, take a moment to check in with yourself. How has April been treating you so far? Is there anything you can do in the coming days to make the month feel a little more complete, whether that means finishing something important, reconnecting with someone, or simply giving yourself permission to slow down and breathe?

So whether you're wrapping things up or taking time to rest, be intentional with how you close out the month.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 112 of 2025-Rooted In What Matters

Hi Friends. 

"What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us."-Helen Keller

Tuesday often comes without the rush of a Monday or the energy of a Friday but that makes it the perfect day to reconnect with what grounds you.

Helen Keller’s words remind us that the joy, love, and purpose we've experienced don’t fade, they stay with us. They’re part of the fabric of who we are and how we move through the world.

Even if today feels routine or unremarkable, you carry the strength of every good thing you’ve experienced. The task you were proud to complete, it still lives inside you, guiding your choices and fueling your confidence.

Let this Tuesday be less about chasing something new and more about drawing strength from what already lives within you.

Keep going. 

Monday, April 21, 2025

Day 111 of 2025- Monday's Quote

Hi Friends,

"Nothing is really ever lost to us as long as we remember it."-Lucy Maud Montgomery

As we step into a brand-new week, let’s carry with us a quiet but powerful reminder: "Nothing is really ever lost to us as long as we remember it."

Whether it’s a goal that slipped out of focus, a dream that feels distant, or even a moment that once inspired us remembering brings it back into the light. Memory is more than nostalgia; it’s a tool. It helps us reconnect with what matters, realign with our values, and reignite our motivation.

So if this Monday feels heavy or aimless, pause for a moment. Think about what once made you feel alive, focused, or proud. That energy isn’t lost, it’s just waiting to be remembered.

Your past passions and lessons are not gone, they are seeds that can still grow.

Have a great week!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 110 of 2025- Taking A Real Break

 Hi Friends,

For those who are on spring break or just had one, I hope it’s been a chance to relax and enjoy a slower pace.

My kids were off this week, and I loved watching them truly disconnect from school. They slept in, caught up with friends, played, and just gave themselves permission to rest. No schedules, no stress, just a week to be kids and recharge.

Honestly, they reminded me how powerful it is to fully unplug. Sometimes the best way to spend a break is by doing nothing “productive” at all, just being present and taking care of yourself.

It got me thinking, how do you like to disconnect during a break? What helps you feel refreshed and renewed?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 109 of 2025- Hectic Days

 Hi Friends,

As responsibilities at work and home continue to pile up, it can feel like there’s no end in sight. I’m having yet another one of those hectic days and an even busier-than-usual week.

In my previous post, I mentioned the importance of staying calm. We’ve all heard familiar encouragements like "Hang in there," "Just keep moving forward," and "You’ve got this." And I genuinely believe those words hold truth.

But today, I want to offer something a little different. I want you to consider this: how can you be a sculptor during these times?

Let me explain. Just like a sculptor chips away at the excess to reveal something meaningful, perhaps we can look at our overwhelming days not as endless chaos, but as an opportunity to shape our time, our focus, and our energy into something intentional and beautiful.

So, what’s one thing you can chip away at today to reveal a little more clarity or calm?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 108 of 2025- Keep Calm

 Hi Friends,

Standing in a long line at the DMV is never fun, but today’s key reminder is to keep calm. With work, kids, and the DMV all running on different schedules, staying calm truly makes a difference.

As you go through your day and life with everything happening around you, remember this simple mantra: Keep calm. Keep repeating it in your mind. It works.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 107 of 2025-A Busy Day

 Hi Friends,

One of the best things about being busy whether at work or at home, is figuring out how to keep things simple. I call it my “one-thing-at-a-time” mindset.

My kids are on spring break this week, and today was one of those days: work, a plumber at the house, a dentist appointment, and back-to-back meetings. I was honestly going a little crazy. Somewhere in the middle of all that, while trying to make lunch, I had to pause and ask myself, What’s the one thing I need to do right now?

If it was taking 15 minutes to get lunch ready, I did that. If it was spending 20 minutes to finish up a work task, I did that too then went back to cooking.

The reminder I kept coming back to was simple: just do the next thing that matters. And that’s how I kept my sanity by focusing on one thing at a time.

Hope this mindset helps you to.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 106 of 2025-One Simple Thing

 Hi Friends,

As you may have noticed, I’ve been writing a lot about simplicity lately. I just love the word simple.

This morning, I went on a long walk, and I couldn’t help but think about how truly simple life can be. I listened to the birds chirping, breathed in the fresh morning air and wow, did it feel good.

So, here’s a little invitation: can you pick one simple thing to notice today?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 105 of 2025-Mid Month April Check In

Hi Friends, 

We’re halfway through April and its time to pause, check in, and ask: What’s working? What’s not? And most importantly, where can I keep things simpler?

Mid-month is a great time to recalibrate. You don’t need to overhaul everything, just reflect and make a few small shifts. Simplicity often starts with letting go of the nonessential.

Here are a few gentle prompts for your mid-month reflection:

  • One thing I can let go of this month is…

  • One area I can simplify (work, schedule, home, mindset)…

  • One thing that’s already going well…

Remember, simple doesn’t mean boring or lazy—it means focused, clear, and aligned with what truly matters.

So as you move into the second half of the month, try this mantra: Less noise, more intention.

How will you keep it simple from here on out?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 104 of 2025- Keeping It Simple-Professional Life

 Hi Friends

Simplicity at work doesn’t mean doing less, it means doing what matters, with more focus and less noise.

Here are a few ways to keep things simple in your professional life:

  • Clarify Your Goals – Start with clear, realistic goals. When you know what success looks like, it’s easier to filter out distractions and stay aligned with what actually moves the needle.

  • Streamline Your Workflow – Look for tasks you can automate, delegate, or eliminate. Use tools that help not complicate. Simplicity often comes from working smarter, not harder.

  • Protect Your Time – Not every meeting needs to be attended. Not every task needs to be urgent. Block time for focused work and build in moments to recharge.

Keeping it simple professionally means focusing on impact over busyness.

Where can you create more simplicity at work this week?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 103 of 2025-Keeping It Simple- Personal Life

Hi Friends, 

In life, simplicity can be a powerful way to create more peace and clarity. Today, lets take a look on  organizing your space and managing your time.

  • Organizing – Start small. Clear one drawer, one shelf, or one inbox folder. Instead of aiming for perfection, aim for progress. Simple systems work best because they’re easier to maintain.

  • Managing Your Time – When everything feels important, nothing truly is. Take a moment to identify your top three priorities right now. Let those guide your choices, your energy, and even what you say “no” to.

Keeping it simple means creating space for what matters most.

Where in your personal life can you simplify today?

Day 102 of 2025-Keep it simple

 Hi Friends,

I like the idea of keeping things simple in life. For example, if you’re hosting, you can keep the appetizers easy and straightforward, then go the extra mile for the main course.

If you think about how you can apply the “keep it simple” concept, let’s explore a few ways to do that over the next 2–3 blog posts. For today, just reflect on one area of your life where you can simplify. What does “keeping it simple” mean to you?

Have a great Saturday!

Day 100 of 2025- 100 Day Reflection

 Hi Friends,

Here we are, 100 days into 2025! It's going by so quickly. I'm excited about what the rest of this year holds, and I hope you are too. We're now entering Quarter 2, so it’s a perfect time to plan out your quarter and map out the next 100 days.

To help guide your reflection and planning, here are four reflective questions to consider:

  • What accomplishments from the first 100 days of the year make you feel proud and energized?

  • What challenges or lessons from Quarter 1 can you leverage for growth in Quarter 2?

  • What are your key priorities or goals for the next 100 days, and why do they matter to you?

  • What daily habits or routines will you commit to that can significantly enhance your progress over the next quarter?

Reflect, recalibrate, and make the next 100 days count!

Day 99 of 2025- Cold Again?

 Hi Friends,

I stepped outside this morning and yep it was so cold. 

Something about this time of year that can cause such mood changes. The air changes drastically, and suddenly my pace does too. I find myself not wanting to go to the gym or stepping out to get groceries.

If you're feeling that seasonal shift too, you're not alone. I’m leaning into it by grabbing my layers, drinking more tea, and giving myself a bit more grace.

Have a great day!

Hi Friends,

This morning, after enjoying a cup of coffee, I ventured out for a walk, the first in a long while since the cold winter has given way to warmer temperatures. It was incredibly refreshing to breathe in the fresh air and take a moment to simply enjoy the slow walk. 

I highly recommend making it a habit to get outdoors early in the day. Not only does walking offer numerous health benefits, but focusing on your breathing can greatly enhance your overall mindset. So, why not start your day with nature?

  2. Conduct Regular Mini-Cleanings: To prevent clutter from accumulating, spend a few minutes at the end of each day for a quick cleanup. This might include wiping down your desk and organizing papers.

What other strategies do you use to keep your space organized?

Day 83 of 2025-Monday Stress Relief Tip

Hi Friends,

Hope you're having a good start to the week. Mondays can be tough as you get going, but a great way to end the day is to take a few minutes before you go home or log off to just sit back and take some deep breaths. You can do this any day of the week, but I find Mondays especially stressful, so taking more time to unwind before going home helps set the mindset for the evening and the rest of the week.

Have a great week!

Sundays can serve as a catch-up day, and for me, I use this day to truly be grateful. I like to reflect on the past week, organize my thoughts, and express gratitude for the blessings and progress in my life. This practice helps me start the new week with a refreshed mind and a positive outlook. How might you incorporate a similar routine into your life to enhance your well-being? 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 81 of 2025- Saturday Feeling

Hi Friends,

How are you feeling this Saturday morning? Refreshed or tired? 

Weekends bring a sigh of relief for many of us. Saturdays is the time to unwind from a hectic week. But how often do we pause to actually check in with ourselves and acknowledge how we're feeling at this moment? Whether you're waking up feeling rejuvenated or you're still tired, recognizing your current state is a crucial first step toward making the most of your day.

Enjoy your weekend.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Hi Friends,

What's going on today? Are you having a really busy day, or is it lighter? If it is a lighter day, take the time to get caught up on your other tasks. I always love a lighter day at work or when I am all caught up so I can truly just focus on catching up on my other stuff.

Have a wonderful day

If you find yourself a little distracted and not focusing on getting your work done, try this:

  • Set specific time blocks for focused work.
  • Remove any distractions like your phone, from your work area.

Day 74 of 2025- Start Slow

 Hi Friends,

Saturdays are a gift, a pause button. Today, let's celebrate by taking it easy, stepping away from the whirlwind of our weekly routines, and giving ourselves permission to simply be.

Start your morning slowly. Resist the urge to jump out of bed. Maybe linger a little longer under the covers, let the sunlight gently coax you awake, or enjoy a quiet cup of coffee. This morning is yours to savor in any way that soothes your soul. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 72 of 2025- Push Through

 Hi Friends,

Today was one of those days when I didn't feel like going to the gym and walking on the treadmill for 30 minutes. However, I managed to make it there and walked for 25 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of stretching. Sometimes, when you don't feel like it, just go for it. It may not be perfect, but it could turn out better than you expected.

The weather is definitely improving, but March is known for its great temperature fluctuations. I'm excited for the arrival of spring and hopeful for continued pleasant weather.

Day 65 of 2025-Focus On Tired Days

Hi Friends,

It can be challenging to stay focused on days when you're tired. I've noticed that my concentration wavers significantly when I'm not well rested. On such days, I take things a bit easier, opting for simpler tasks that require less mental effort. If you're struggling to focus, consider doing something less demanding until you have the energy to tackle more complex tasks.

I know we all tend to wait until the weekend to do something fun, but why wait until then? You can make Tuesdays your fun day, or any other day of the week.

I strongly believe in taking some time to look back at the month and making some notes for yourself. We still have 10 more months this year, and it's important to keep moving forward optimistically.

Day 58 of 2025- Minimizing Disruptions

Hi Friends,

One thing I'm working on is minimizing disruptions in my daily routine. I love my morning coffee, hitting the gym, and having time to myself, especially waking up super early. Connecting with myself each morning is important, so I make an effort to reduce any disruptions the night before to ensure my mornings start off well. This often means saying no to very late nights on weekends, and I'm perfectly fine with that.

What are some of the things you do to minimize disruptions in your life?

Have a great Thursday!

Day 57 of 2025- Stretch

Hi Friends,

One thing I've found beneficial is incorporating some stretching after long periods of sitting at my desk. Even a simple stretch, like the child's pose, can make a significant difference.

If, like me, you spend many hours seated at your desk, I encourage you to take regular breaks to walk around and stretch. This practice not only helps alleviate any discomfort but also rejuvenates your body and mind.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Day 56 of 2025-Boketto

 Hi Friends,

Today, I came across a new word-Boketto (Japanese)-which means "the act of gazing vacantly into the distance without a thought."

What an interesting concept! I've often found myself doing this during work, although it's hard not to have any thoughts. I think it would be great to practice gazing into the distance without a thought. I'll definitely keep practicing it. It reminds me of meditation in a way, offering a momentary escape from the daily hustle and providing a space to simply be.

What are your thoughts on the word Boketto?

Day 55 of 2025-Balance Tip

Hi Friends,

I want to remind you to truly disconnect once your workday ends. Working from home can blur the lines between personal and professional time, making it tempting to keep checking emails or extending your work hours. It’s crucial to establish a clear boundary and discipline yourself to step away when the day is done.

I’ve learned this lesson myself—now, when I finish my tasks, I don’t check my email again until the next morning. Let’s strive to be completely done with work at the end of the day.

Taking care of our bodies, along with nourishing food, gives us the energy to tackle our daily tasks. I’ve found that getting enough sleep and even a nap on the weekends provides the energy I need to check things off my list. What activities help you recharge?

Day 52 of 2025-Embrace The Cold

Hi Friends,

I often catch myself complaining about how much I dislike the cold weather, especially when the temperatures are well below average. Recently, we've been experiencing some of the coldest weather ever.

Then I asked myself, "Why?" Why complain about something I can't change? If Mother Nature decides it's going to be 20 degrees Fahrenheit, so be it. What can I do? Nothing.

Think about all the things you complain about. Can you change them? If not, then let them go and enjoy your day. Just like I'm going to start enjoying the cold.

Have a great Friday!

 Hi Friends,

It's quite chilly where I am, and honestly, it's not something I enjoy or think I'll ever get used to. To keep myself warm and comfortable, I sip hot water throughout the day, layer up, and avoid going out unless absolutely necessary.

Weather changes, and life in general, can sometimes be uncomfortable. What do you do to "warm up" in such situations? It's always a good idea to have a few tricks up your sleeve to help you reach a state of comfort, no matter the circumstances. What are your go-to strategies?

Hi Friends,

"Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone."-Alan Watts

Alan Watts highlights a key insight here: sometimes, patience and reflection are our greatest allies. In many instances, stepping back is not inaction but a strategic pause that enriches our understanding. 

When faced with stubborn challenges, like a health goal that's not progressing, it might be wise to take a break from your current methods. This break can provide the clarity needed to reevaluate and adjust your approach, paving the way for more effective action.

 Hi Friends,

We're experiencing another major snowstorm today, and it's fascinating to see how it begins with just a light dusting on the grassy areas. However, it's expected to gain momentum and bring significant, measurable snowfall by evening, with major accumulations.

This reminds me of how we often start slowly in our endeavors, such as exercising or beginning a new job, and then gradually pick up speed. It's crucial to maintain that momentum, especially in activities like exercise or learning new job skills.

What are some of the activities where you've managed to maintain your momentum since the start of the year?

Day 37 of 2025- A Mantra For You

 Hi Friends,

I stumbled upon a beautiful mantra today that I felt compelled to share with all of you:

"You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing." - Ram Dass, spiritual teacher.

These words from Ram Dass, a profound spiritual leader, remind us of a deeply comforting truth—that our worth and our right to be loved do not hinge on anything other than our mere presence and essence. In a world that often urges us to achieve more, to be more, and to constantly prove our value, this mantra offers a refreshing pause. It encourages us to recognize that our basic existence is enough to merit love.

It invites us to let go of harsh self-judgments and the exhausting pursuit of external validation. Instead, it asks us to embrace the peace and joy that come from knowing we are inherently worthy.

Let’s carry this mantra in our hearts as we move through our days. Remember, you are loved just as you are, and that is more than enough.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 36 of 2025- Switching to Reading

Hi Friends,

In my recent post, I discussed how I’ve grown increasingly bored with social media—it simply doesn’t resonate with me anymore. On the flip side, one pursuit I continue to love is reading. Whether I’m finding brief moments of respite between work tasks or just needing to step away and clear my mind, I turn to reading. It’s not only a productive escape but also a great source of joy for me.

I’m curious to hear from you as well. What are some of the activities that bring you genuine pleasure?

Day 35 of 2024- Social Media Usage

Hi Friends,

I've recently realized that I waste a significant amount of time scrolling through social media during work breaks, and today, I finally reached my breaking point—I just had to put my phone down. It seems like the same content keeps cycling through my feed, and I've grown incredibly tired of it. If you haven't experienced this sense of social media fatigue, I highly recommend taking intentional breaks during work and setting strict limits on your social media usage.

While I do spend a few minutes each day catching up on current events and news, I find that social media often just leaves me feeling more bored rather than engaged or informed. Reducing my social media intake has started to feel like a necessary step towards better mental clarity and productivity.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this. Have you felt the same way about social media? What strategies do you use to manage your time online effectively?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 30 of 2025- Meal Prep

Hi Friends,

As part of our ongoing discussion about everyday tasks, one of the most effective strategies I've found is meal prepping on the weekend or earlier in the day for dinner.

I've discovered that keeping dinners simple and planning ahead by buying and prepping ingredients in advance eliminates the guesswork from evening meals. This approach is particularly beneficial if you have children. By preparing meals ahead of time, you can save a considerable amount of time during the week. This means you'll spend less time in the kitchen and more time engaging in other important activities.

What are some of your favorite meal prep tips?

Have a great Thursday!

Day 29 of 2025- Make It Easy

 Hi Friends,

For those of you with health goals, remember that incorporating physical activity into your routine can be beneficial. I've found that laying out my gym clothes the night before and changing into them first thing in the morning motivates me to hit the gym.

Even if you prefer going to the gym later in the day, consider laying out not only your gym attire but also your clothes for the day. Choosing your outfit the night before can streamline your morning and reduce stress.

What are your strategies for preparing for the next day?

Day 28 of 2025- Making Your Bed

 Hi Friends,

How many of you make your bed as soon as you wake up? I usually do it when I return from the gym.

Making your bed is a simple task that can boost your mood as you go about your day and provide a welcoming sight at the end of it. Incorporating such straightforward habits can significantly influence the tone of your day, and making your bed is a perfect example. This act of tidiness and taking care of your space not only brings a sense of order but also uplifts your spirits.

I understand it might be challenging for some, or perhaps finding time is difficult. However, if you’re looking for a single, manageable step to enhance your daily routine, try making your bed every morning. Observe how it affects your feelings.

Consider jotting down your thoughts as you experiment with this habit.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

As you think about the upcoming week, also consider next weekend. In other words, try to plan ahead. More importantly, take time for yourself. Spend some time reading, journaling, or simply enjoying your morning cup of tea. What are some other activities you can do to take care of yourself?

Day 23 of 2025- A Quote

 Hi Friends,

I stumbled upon a quote by Henry David Thoreau that really made me pause and think: 'Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.' 

It's a powerful reminder that being good isn't just about following rules—it’s about making a real difference. It challenges us to ask ourselves: What are we good for? How are we using our goodness to impact the world? I believe it's a call to not just live by standards, but to set them, inspiring others by the meaningful things we do. Let’s chat about how we can put this into action together.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 22 of 2025- Pause

Hi Friends,

How is your work week going? Remember, even if the week is hectic and tasks keep piling up, it's important to take a pause when needed. Step away from your desk for a few minutes, or simply gaze out the window. If the weather permits, step outside and take a few deep breaths.

Every little bit helps, and I hope that these pauses refresh you, giving you more energy to tackle the rest of the day.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 21 of 2025- Push Through

 Hi Friends,

Happy Tuesday! It's another very cold day, and it looks like the chill will continue throughout the week according to the latest forecast. This winter has brought lower than average temperatures, making it a challenge to even step outside.

So, how do you stay motivated during these cold winter months? I know it can be tough to wake up early and head to the gym. Personally, I make a point to get ready as soon as I wake up and drive straight to the gym. It's freezing, but seeing others there and feeling great after my workout makes it all worthwhile.

If it's cold where you are and you're struggling to find motivation, try to push through and think about how good you'll feel afterwards. What are your strategies for staying active and motivated when it's cold?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 20 of 2025- Oh Its So Cold

 Hi Friends,

It's been incredibly cold here lately, which made me appreciate the simple pleasure of holding a cup of hot water in my hands—it's surprisingly comforting.

Indeed, it's often the small things that bring the most joy, not just occasionally, but consistently. Whether it’s savoring a hot cup of tea or coffee, bundling up in warm clothes and a cozy blanket, or enjoying a soothing hot shower, these everyday delights are treasures we should cherish.

What are some simple pleasures in your life that you cherish?

 Hi Friends,

I hope you're taking some time to relax this Sunday.

As I mentioned in my previous post about reflecting on the month, consider how the first half has shaped up and how it might influence the remaining days of January.

Do you need to adjust your goals? Perhaps set a new one? Or maybe you require some support?

Pay attention to your current progress so you can take actionable steps toward achieving your goals.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Remember to do a check-in to see how things are progressing, especially if you have set short-term goals related to your health. Every single day counts, and you must keep moving forward. 

Have a good weekend.

Day 16 of 2025- Looking Ahead

 Hi Friends,

We're almost to Friday, and for some of you, it might already be Friday. As you wrap up this week, consider glancing at your calendar for next week to see what's on the horizon.

I know that looking ahead can sometimes be stressful, but try to view it as giving yourself a heads-up so you can mentally prepare for what’s coming. Taking some time this Friday to prepare in advance could make your next week smoother.

It's always better to be prepared than surprised.

Have a fantastic end to your week!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 15 of 2025- Watch Something Funny

Hi Friends,

Happy Hump Day!

Today, I want to highlight the power of laughter. It's easy to get caught up in work and let stress accumulate. To help the workday pass more smoothly, consider listening to a comedy show for a few minutes or reading a joke to share a laugh and alleviate some stress.

Research has consistently shown that laughter truly is the best medicine. For example, a study from Loma Linda University found that laughter can lower levels of stress hormones, enhance immune activity, and boost endorphins—the body's natural feel-good chemicals. These effects not only improve our mood but also help reduce pain and support overall health. 

We may not always have someone around to make us laugh, so take the initiative to watch something humorous and release that pent-up stress. It's a simple way to boost your mood and feel fantastic.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 13 of 2025- Back To Work

 Hi Friends,

For those of you who took a break at the end of December and recently returned to work, how has the transition been?

Returning to work after the holidays can be challenging, but hopefully, you've managed to establish some routine and structure, feeling rejuvenated as you resume.

Since my return, I've settled back into my usual routines, and it feels wonderful to dive back into work after some time off. While I enjoy a change of scenery, I find that I truly value my daily routines.

Are you reflecting on your routines for this year? We all have those essential patterns we adhere to, and for me, my morning and evening routines vary significantly.

Today, take a moment to think about your routine. Consider how you might enhance it or integrate additional, simpler routines into your day.

Have a great Monday

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 12 of 2025- Relaxing Sunday

 Hi Friends,

I love Sundays. With the snow blanketing the ground and the air crisp and cold, it’s the perfect day to sleep in and have a relaxed "take it easy" day.

I was really proud of myself for allowing myself to sleep in today. Typically, I like to hit the gym on weekends right when it opens at 7:00 AM. That means waking up at 5:30 AM to enjoy my coffee beforehand. Today, though, I woke up early but chose to rest, and I ended up falling back asleep until 7:00 AM, deciding to skip the gym. I've been relaxing all day, regaining my energy after being jet-lagged.

So, I guess the moral of the story is to use your Sundays to take it easy as often as you can. Don't push yourself if you're not feeling up to it, and make Sundays your sacred day to do things that energize and replenish you.

Have a great Sunday!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 11 of 2025- Its Been Snowing

 Hi Friends,

We've had a lot of snow this week. It's been nice to stay indoors, and the kids have enjoyed a break from school. This morning, I woke up to another couple of inches of snow blanketing the roads. Looking out, I was greeted by complete silence, albeit with a biting cold.

The sight of the snow reminded me to savor these moments and the beauty surrounding us. In a few days, the snow will melt, and the pristine white landscape will disappear until the next snowfall. This cycle of snowing and melting sparked a thought about making wise use of my time. Nature is in constant flux, mirroring the changes around us. During these quiet snow days, take some time to reflect on yourself and whatever thoughts you might have.

Have a great weekend!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 10 of 2025- More On Intuition

 Hi Friends,

As I went to bed last night, I found myself thinking deeply about intuition. I've begun to trust the feelings that surface and to follow them. For 2025, I aim to further develop and deepen this intuitive sense.

I've always possessed a sense of knowing, and I can recall times in my past when I should have listened more closely to it. Our past decisions can guide us in trusting our intuitions, just as getting enough sleep and spending time alone can. Knowing yourself is crucial; once you do, your awareness sharpens, leading to a stronger sense of that intuitive feeling.

So for 2025, I plan to add more quiet days and spend time alone to help tune into whatever I'm feeling inside. I believe in this intuition and am excited to see where it leads me.

Have you ever had a moment where following your intuition made a significant difference? 

Have a great Friday!

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 9 of 2025- Trust Your Intuition

 Hi Friends,

"All great achievements of science must start from intuitive knowledge. I believe in intuition and inspiration… At times I feel certain I am right while not knowing the reason." - Albert Einstein

As we kick off this year, already a week in, I encourage you to trust your intuition. To me, intuition is that feeling of 'just knowing'—it's what feels right.

Don’t ignore your instincts. Whether it’s meeting someone new, interacting with others, or navigating work situations—trust the feelings that arise. Often, we make excuses or doubt our gut feelings, but it's better to take a moment, acknowledge your instincts, and let them guide your next steps.

By paying attention to these intuitive signals, you can make more informed decisions that align with your deepest values and drive you toward more fulfilling outcomes. Trusting your intuition can help you steer clear of harmful situations and embrace opportunities that resonate with your true self.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 8 of 2025-Jet Lag

 Hi Friends,

Jet lag can be quite challenging, lingering for a few days after a long journey across different time zones. If you're returning from your holidays and find yourself battling the fatigue of jet lag, it’s important to take special care of yourself. While it's just a temporary hurdle, jet lag can indeed make you feel miserable and out of sync.

As you work on readjusting to your local time zone, remember to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, relax your muscles and calm your mind with hot showers at night, and perhaps even consider some light exercise if you feel up to it. Above all, be gentle with yourself and those around you during this adjustment period. With a little time and self-care, you’ll feel like yourself again soon.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 7 of 2025- Quote From Maya Angelou

 Hi Friends,

Here’s another gem from Maya Angelou: 'Today is a beautiful day; I’ve never seen this one before.'

 Inspired by her words, I reflect on how this year, fresh and unseen, promises to be just as beautiful. As we journey through it together, let’s embrace each new day with hope, joy, and an unwavering spirit of adventure.

In December, while away with friends, I had a truly adventurous experience, from hiking to bungee jumping. I’ve realized that making this year adventurous is key to braving more in life. What can you do to infuse more adventure into your life? 

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

Day 6 of 2025- Courage

 Hi Friends,

As we welcome the New Year, one thing I’m earnestly seeking is courage. I recently stumbled upon a quote by Susan Sontag that struck a chord with me: "I want to make a New Year’s prayer, not a resolution. I’m praying for courage." 

This resonated because it’s about more than just wishing for courage; it’s about truly living it. To me, living courageously means confronting the real truths about my life. Take my job, for example. Acting with courage here means considering a leap toward a new career path, even if it’s outside my comfort zone. It’s about embracing those moments of discomfort that come with growth and change. 

As we face this year with all its uncertainties and promises, I’m holding onto this idea of not just thinking about courage but acting on it—making bold choices and stepping bravely into each new challenge. Let’s make this year about more than just surviving; let’s make it about thriving courageously.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours.

Peace

Day 5 of 2025-Quote

 Hi Friends,

I wanted to share a powerful quote from Maya Angelou that resonates deeply as we embark on a new year:

"Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better."

This quote serves as a reminder that growth is a continuous journey. We learn from each experience, and as we gain knowledge, we're called to elevate our actions. Let this be a guiding principle as you navigate the challenges and opportunities ahead.

I hope this inspires you as much as it inspires me. Here’s to a year of learning, growing, and doing better. 

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

Day 4 of 2025- Few Words

Hi Friends,  

The rest of this year is an open book. Today, I want to offer you some words of encouragement: focus on yourself. Everything you want to achieve begins and ends with you. Remember, no one else can provide that for you. Believe in yourself, and you can accomplish anything.  

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Day 3 of 2025- Question For You

Hi Friends,

The great thing about a new year is that it offers a blank slate to start with. There are 363 days left to shape your life and your future. So, what are you planning to do with these 363 days for yourself and your life this year? I offer you three words: don't waste it!

Day 2 of 2025-Sticking With Resolutions

 Hi Friends,

I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful holiday season, and perhaps you're still taking some time to relax before diving back into work and your usual routines. As we step into the new year, many of us set resolutions—whether it's to lose weight, improve our health, or achieve new career milestones. The possibilities for both personal and professional goals are boundless, as long as you can stick to them. If you struggled to stick with your resolutions in 2024 or 2023, it might be time to rethink your strategy for sticking to them this year.

While it's easy to make resolutions at the start of the year, sticking with them consistently is the real challenge. The key to sticking with them? Discipline. To me, discipline means sticking to what you say you will do. This level of commitment is something only you can uphold.

So, are you ready to commit to sticking with your resolutions this year? Think about it.

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

Peace

Day 1 of 2025- Happy New Year

 Hi Friends,

Here we are at the start of the New Year. Happy 2025! May this year be filled with lots of laughter, love and joy for all of you. 

I hope that all of your wishes come true this year. May you find the strength to keep believing and being strong, keep moving forward even when you feel like you can't. 

May you keep believing in yourself and working on yourself. Remember that no matter what happens this year, don't give up on yourself, dreams and aspirations. Go at it alone if you must but with full awareness and acceptance of your environment. 

Let this be the year where you focus on your needs and keep the faith that you will always have or will find the right people in your life.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace
