20 in 2020!

Unprecedented! The most apt word used to describe 2020. Also the most common word gracing year end reviews published around the world. Over this last month, I spent some time switching off from my daily routine to introspect and reflect on the year this has been, and the lessons I have learnt: the importance of family and nature, an attitude of gratitude for all my privileges, a study in resilience, the joy of embracing a slower albeit fuller life and going deep within to understand my true purpose. 2020, you might just have been a blessing in disguise! As 2021…

Sparkle #205: Jazz It Up!

“If music be the food of love, play on.” ~ William Shakespeare Is there anyone on this planet who doesn’t identify with the power of music?

Take a break!

Happy Monday people! 2015 has been a busy year, I cannot believe October is around the corner. The next three months are going to be even busier, as we round up the year and get set for the holidays. So this week, I am taking a break to unwind, re-charge my batteries and come back with renewed energy for the last quarter of 2015. I  have lovely plans for the entire week – there’s a bit of travel, lots of yoga, reading, music, movies, and plans of eating out, staying up and sleeping in! I am also going to de-clutter and get more organized for the coming few…
