Sparkle #122: Dr. Seuss Quotes

Happy Monday bright people! I am back after another week of traveling, and cannot wait to share vignettes and stories from my trip with you. Travel last week was focused on learning and development, as I took time off from work to attend a soft skills training. The training was geared towards introspection and cultivating awareness of different personality types – our own as well as others. My top takeaways from the sessions – be mindful, listen more, respect time and do more of what makes you happy!

Happy Monday people, another week and another chance to get it right! Every Monday, I post something inspirational so we can start our week on the right note.

In fact, I think this image deserves to be printed and put on our workstations so we can stay motivated…

Her stories ranged from the whimsical to the realistic – on one hand she would write about folklore and faraway lands, and on the other hand she would narrate adventures of school kids solving mysteries. Her books offered an escape from the real world to a fantasy world which seemed enchantingly perfect! Enid Blyton introduced me to the amazing world of books and the wonders of reading. So for today’s…

Sparkle #6: Rumi on LOVE

Hello beautiful people! Can’t believe its Monday again – a new week, new challenges and new inspiration! This week, I did a compilation of some of my favorite Rumi quotes on ‘Love’. Rumi was a famous Persian poet and Sufi mystic. His poetry is spiritual, uplifting and delightful at the same time. In case you are interested in exploring his writing further, I suggest reading ‘The Essential Rumi‘ for an appropriate and thorough introduction. Coming back to the quotes, below are some of my absolute favorites! …Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within…
