An Update for my Readers

Hello everyone! Whether you are a regular visitor to Pumpernickel Pixie or someone who has landed for the first time today, I want to thank you for your visit and interest in my blog. For someone who posts on an almost daily basis, I haven’t really put up anything on the blog in the last 10 days. It’s not because I have been busy or traveling, I always try and find time for my blog – one way or the other. The challenge has not been making time, the challenge has been to be in a frame of mind so I can write.…

Sparkle #176: Make your Monday Happy!

Happy Monday folks! I am not feeling very happy or excited this morning and could do with some sunshine to brighten things up. The year has started on a crazy note, a new job means lots of learning and hence most of my time is currently being consumed at the workplace. I admit that I have been neglecting the blog, my diet, my Yoga and I am also feeling guilty for not staying on track with my resolutions for the year. In short, my life is currently chaotic and chaos always makes me feel uneasy. I wanted to do a valentines post this week, but since I am…

It’s still January, so you are probably motivated enough to stay on track with your resolutions for 2016. I just published mine and I know I am feeling inspired for the week ahead.

Introducing The Micro Resolution

Hello wonderful people, it’s the middle of January and I am finally ready to share my goals and intentions for the coming year with everyone! I earlier wrote a post about taking some time to think through my resolutions instead of forcing myself to be ready with a list on the first of January. I am glad I took this time to introspect and think deeply about what I want to do differently in the coming months. 2016 is going to be the year of the micro resolution. I first read about micro resolutions here, where Caroline talks about making small and manageable changes in your daily behavior which would…
