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. It’s already August, so perhaps this week and next I should slow down and check in on what I have been up to this year. I often wonder if I am being busy or productive, but I think I am too scared to really find that out! Let’s come back to August and the start of…

Sparkle #193: Business Advice from TV Shows

Happy Monday folks! I looked at the calendar today and realized it’s almost June – the middle of the year. I cannot believe the pace at which this year is moving. I feel like I am always playing catch-up with both my personal and professional to-do list. There’s always so much to be done, and so little time… Thinking about life, time and my lengthy list of things to do always brings my spirits down. So to cheer up my Monday, I thought of seeking advice from some of my favorite people in the world – TV show characters! A while back, I wrote a post…

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.

Well now she is back, and we know she is as happy to be home as we are to have her here! The last two weeks were a big mess, what with work, visits to the hospital and stress at home. It is difficult to be positive in such…

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. Thanksgiving is also a wonderful excuse to give – more time to your family, love to everyone around you and a helping…
