Sparkle #199: Challenge Yourself to be “Complaint-free”

Happy Monday people! I have been so bad with the blog this year, and I am very disappointed for not putting in more time on my site. Without giving long explanations, let me just admit that the first half of 2016 went by in the blink of an eye.

Sparkle #180: Buddha Doodles

Happy Monday my lovelies! It’s a particularly happy Monday for me this week, since we got our grandmother home today. If you read my post last week, you would know that my absence on the blog was primarily because my granny was hospitalized, and I was not in a frame of mind to write.

Sparkle #154: Thanksgiving Wishes & Quotes

Happy Monday folks! November is coming to an end, and this week is perhaps one of the most blessed weeks of the year. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, because it focuses on two very important aspects of our life – family and gratitude. Each year, the Thanksgiving week brings with it a whole lot of abundance and happiness. It is a time to focus on the gifts we have, a time to be thankful for our blessings, and a time to make these blessings count in our lives.
