Day 314 of 2025- Tuesday's Holiday

 Hi Friends,

It’s Tuesday, the day after I started my new role and it also happens to be a holiday. There’s something nice about having a built-in break right at the start of a new week and a new chapter. It’s giving me a moment to slow down, take it all in, and catch my breath before things pick back up again.

I’m grateful for the day off, but my mind can’t help wandering to tomorrow, the meetings, the names I’m still learning, and all the new things waiting for me. Change always feels big at first, but I’m reminding myself that growth doesn’t happen all at once. It happens one conversation, one small win, one brave step at a time.

So today, I’m letting myself rest, recharge, and just appreciate where I am in between what’s new and what’s next. Tomorrow will come soon enough.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita

Day 313 of 2025- The New Momentum

 Hi Friends,

It’s been a busy start to the new role, lots of meetings, new faces, and plenty to learn. Things are already starting to roll, and I definitely feel like I’m all over the place trying to keep up. But that’s okay. New beginnings are supposed to feel a little messy.

I’m doing my best to keep my nerves in check and remind myself that it’s all part of the process, the learning curve, the introductions, the small wins that start to build confidence. It’s a lot, but it’s also exciting.

Here’s to showing up, figuring it out as we go, and giving ourselves a little grace along the way.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 312 of 2025- Its Calm

 Hi Friends,

I’ve always loved Sundays. They feel like a gentle pause a chance to rest, reflect, and get ready for whatever’s next.

This weekend, I tried to stay present to rest, catch up on sleep, and let myself unwind with a few Christmas movies. It felt good to just be, without overthinking what Monday will bring. But now that the day is winding down, I can feel that gentle mix of excitement and nerves settling in. Tomorrow marks the start of something new, and while that’s a little scary, it’s also energizing.

I’m reminding myself that growth often begins in the moments that feel uncertain. That it’s okay not to have everything figured out. All I can do is show up with curiosity, kindness, and the confidence that I’m ready for whatever’s ahead.

So tonight, I’m closing out the weekend with gratitude for the people who’ve supported me, for the lessons I’ve learned, and for the chance to begin again. Here’s to walking into Monday with calm energy and an open heart.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 312 of 2025- Saturday's Thought

 Hi Friends,

This weekend, I’m going to try not to think about my new role on Monday, but to stay present and simply enjoy the weekend. I know I need to catch up on sleep, so that’s at the top of my list. I’m also planning to watch some Christmas movies (yes, I start early, though honestly, never early enough for me).

And as I cozy up and let my mind slow down, I just want to appreciate this pause, that quiet space between what was and what’s next. Sometimes the best way to prepare for change is to rest, breathe, and trust that everything will unfold the way it should.

Here’s to slowing down, staying present, and looking ahead with calm excitement.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 311 of 2025- Go Friday

 Hi Friends,

Happy Friday!

We’ve made it through the first Friday of the month, and the holidays are starting to feel closer than ever. Each Friday seems to carry a little more of that festive energy, doesn’t it?

This happens to be my last Friday in my current role. On Monday, I start something new, and I’m choosing to be excited about it. There’s no going back now, and it’s time to look ahead, to learn new things, and to meet new people. As much as starting over can be intimidating, I know it’s what’s best for me, and for anyone lucky enough to begin again.

Today, I’m grateful for the people I’ve met and everything I’ve learned in this chapter. Now, it’s time to turn the page.

What are you grateful for today?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 310 of 2025- Thursday's Thoughts

 Hi Friends,

It’s Thursday that point in the week where everything seems to tighten up. Deadlines are close, the weekend’s almost here, and expectations start to weigh a little heavier. Pressure shows up right when we’re running low on energy, testing how badly we want to finish what we started.

But pressure isn’t the signal to stop it’s the signal to focus. It’s what sharpens our effort, reminds us why we started, and pushes us to give just a little more before the week ends.

So today, lean into it. Don’t wish for less pressure use it as proof that you’re moving forward. Friday’s coming, and when it does, you’ll know you earned the break.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 309 of 2025- Pressure Is A Privilege

 Hi Friends,

As the tennis legend Billie Jean King often said, “Pressure is a privilege.” It’s a reminder that the moments that make our palms sweat are the same ones that show we’ve earned our place, in school, at work, or in life. Pressure means people are counting on us. It means we’ve been trusted with responsibility, opportunity, and potential.

As the year comes to an end, this quote feels especially powerful. We look back at deadlines, exams, performances, and challenges and realize that each bit of pressure helped us grow. Every stressful moment was proof that we were doing something that mattered.

So as we head into a new year, let’s not run from pressure. Let’s embrace it, knowing it’s a sign that we’re pushing our limits and reaching for something greater. After all, pressure is a privilege and it means you’re right where you’re supposed to be.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 308 of 2025- Morning!

 Hi Friends,

How was your morning? Did you jump out of bed ready to take on the day, or did you hit snooze a few too many times?

Mine started off slow the kind of morning where everything feels just a little bit behind schedule. The coffee brewed slowly, the sunlight felt softer than usual, and my motivation took its time showing up. But once I got moving, things started to flow. I crossed off a few tasks, organized my space, and found that quiet rhythm that makes the day feel productive without the pressure.

Sometimes, a slow start doesn’t mean an unproductive one. It just means giving yourself space to ease into things and realizing that progress still counts, no matter the pace.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 307 of 2025-New Monday

 Hi Friends,

Happy Monday! A new week! Let's make it count.

"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives." — Annie Dillard

Monday mornings are for setting intentions. So what do you want to get done this week? Not everything just the things that matter. The things that will make you feel good when Friday rolls around.

Pick your priorities. Make your plan. And then show up for them.

Here's the thing: the holidays will be here before we know it. Thanksgiving is around the corner, then December, then the new year. Time moves fast. So let's not waste this week. Let's use it. Let's get things done.

Not in a stressful, overwhelmed way. In an intentional, focused way. You know what needs your attention. Give it your attention. You know what you've been putting off. Maybe this is the week you finally do it.

Seven days. That's all we've got. Let's make them matter.

Have a great week, friend. Show up. Get it done. You've got this.

Let's go.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita

Day 306 of 2025- Second Day of November

 Hi Friends,

Here's what I'm going to do this November: I'm going to keep showing up to remind you what today's job is and why it matters. Because staying motivated isn't about one perfect day it's about showing up again and again, even when the excitement fades.

So let's talk about today.

Yesterday was all sparkle and possibility that fresh November 1st energy. But today? Today is different. Today is quieter. And honestly? Today is where it counts.

"You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great." — Zig Ziglar

Here's the truth about day two: this is where most people quit. Day one gets all the glory, but you're still here. You showed up again.

This is how change actually happens. Not in the excitement of beginning or the perfect plans or fresh intentions. It happens here, in the ordinary middle, when you choose to keep going even though nobody's watching.

Day two doesn't ask for perfection. It just asks: will you try again?

So here's today's only job: Pick one small thing from yesterday's intentions and do it again. Move your body for five minutes. Write three sentences. Text one friend. Name one thing you're grateful for. That's it. One small act of keeping your word to yourself.

And here's why it matters: Every time you show up, even imperfectly, even when it's hard, you're building something precious. You're building trust with yourself. You're proving that you're someone who follows through. Not someday. Today. Consistency isn't about being perfect. It's about being present, about choosing yourself again.

You know what November 2nd teaches us? That we don't need motivation to keep going. We just need commitment. We just need to remember why we started and choose it again.

Twenty-nine days left in November. You don't need to think about all of them. Just this one.

You've got this.

Keep going.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 305 of 2025- A New Month

 Hi Friends,

Welcome to November, friend. The eleventh month. A new beginning. A blank page waiting for your story.

There's something almost magical about the first day of a new month, isn't there? It's like the universe is handing us a reset button, a chance to shed what didn't serve us and step into what could be. And November with its falling leaves and cooling air carries a special kind of energy. It whispers of gratitude, of slowing down, of gathering warmth before the year comes to a close.

"Why can't I try on different lives, like dresses, to see which fits best and is most becoming?" — Sylvia Plath

These words capture something powerful about where we are right now. With two months left in the year, November is the perfect time to experiment, to try things on, to see what feels right. October's words, October's struggles, October's victories they belong to October. Today, you get to explore. To test. To discover what fits.

So what do you want to try on this month?

Maybe November is your month to experiment with gratitude really leaning into thankfulness as we approach Thanksgiving. Maybe it's about testing out a new routine, a different approach to your goals, a fresh way of thinking about what finishing strong actually means for you. Or perhaps it's about trying on the life of someone who rests more, who says no more often, who prioritizes joy over productivity.

Here's the beautiful truth: with only two months left in 2025, November is your dress rehearsal for the person you want to be.

Think about it. You have sixty days to play, to explore, to see what feels authentic. Want to try being more creative? Give yourself November to experiment. Curious about what it would feel like to be more connected to the people you love? Try it on. Wondering if you could be someone who takes better care of themselves? This is your chance.

The end of the year doesn't have to be about grinding harder or forcing yourself into some predetermined mold of "success." What if instead, it's about discovery? About giving yourself permission to try different versions of your life and seeing which one makes you feel most alive, most like yourself?

New beginnings don't require grand gestures or perfect plans. They just require willingness. A willingness to try. Here are some "lives" you might try on this November:

• The life of someone who moves their body joyfully, not punishingly
• The life of someone who creates something just for the pleasure of creating
• The life of someone who reaches out to old friends instead of scrolling
• The life of someone who ends their day with gratitude instead of worry
• The life of someone who tries that thing they've been curious about

The beauty is, you don't have to commit forever. You're just trying it on. Seeing how it feels. Noticing what fits and what doesn't. Some things you'll love and keep. Others you'll set aside, and that's perfectly okay. The point isn't to get it right—it's to explore, to discover, to learn what makes you feel most like the person you're becoming.

The beauty of November 1st is that it meets you wherever you are. Tired? That's okay begin from there. Energized? Beautiful channel that. Uncertain? Perfect there's power in not knowing, in being open to what unfolds.

This month, I encourage you to be curious and brave. Try on different ways of being. Experiment with what "finishing the year strong" means to you because strong doesn't have to mean hustle. It can mean whole. It can mean honest. It can mean aligned with who you truly are.

Remember: Sylvia Plath was right. You can try on different lives. November is your fitting room, and the final two months of 2025 are your chance to walk out wearing whatever feels most becoming, most authentic, most you.

Remember: every ending holds a new beginning, and every beginning is a gift. You're holding that gift right now, on this first day of November. Thirty days stretch out before you, full of potential, full of possibility.

The final two months of 2025 are here. Let's make them count not by doing everything, but by doing what matters. Not by being perfect, but by being present.

Here's to new beginnings, to fresh starts, to the courage it takes to keep showing up for yourself.

Have a beautiful November filled with intention, grace, and maybe just a little bit of magic.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita
