Sparkle #204: Spring has Sprung!

Hello beautiful people, are you ready for spring? I know I am! Today is the Spring Equinox, which marks the beginning of spring across the world. Today is one of the only two days in the year when the day and night are equal in length and perfectly in balance! Coincidentally, today is also the International Day of Happiness and the start of the Persian New Year.

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.
