They say distance gives a reason to love harder, but I say love should be a constant factor in our lives, one that doesn’t increase nor decrease because of distance, humps, times or anything else. 'The loving relationships we have, the universe around us, we take these things for granted.' Morrie  Schwartz .  We tend to think that the people in our lives are there because they should be there, that it’s how life should be but it’s not! The community we live in, the relationships and friendships we all got, they are what we choose and nurture, not an entitlement of life.  Sometimes we see the value of the people we have when they are gone, we write love words on our socials, dedicate songs, express our gratitude and love to the people that can no longer see it! Life is a circle of on and offs, let’s not keep the off switch going around for long. It is a circle of push and pull, let’s not push to achieve things and forget to pull love and people closer. May we not take what...

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.” – Oprah Winfrey Are plants worthy than us? So why do we neglect ourselves and forget that the way we plant seeds and water them to grow into beautiful plants should also apply to us?! We need to nurture ourselves we are worth the work, the love, the care, and the beauty.  There’s more to life than what you’re going through, there’s more to that feeling of failure, there’s more to that loneliness, there’s more to that lost hope, there’s more to that fear that keeps you from moving forward, there’s more… and that more is one to celebrate for! Search your heart, search for the light that can pull you from those shadows, search for the water to water your potentials, search for the seeds that will sprout. Nurture yourself physically and take care of your body, let your heart bloom, and nurture your soul. Let’s live a nurturant life. Love and care for yourself fully, tend to your needs, garden th...

  The unshed tears, the bottled up pain, the unexpressed thoughts, the hidden fears and every other things that we don’t let out results into a sobbing heart. A sobbing heart is a wounded heart, we need to heal! Don’t be ashamed to let your tears out. I agree that the most painful tears are the ones that don’t fall. Sometimes we battle with different hard times and remain composed at the outside with fake plastered smiles, while on the inside the heart is sobbing and in pieces. Tears are considered as a weakness but for me, they are the words our mouths can’t voice, they are the emotions our faces cannot express and mostly they are the cleansing that softens our heart. If only we could cry tears of joy, but life doesn’t owe us anything! so don’t wound your heart, cry, share your sobs if you can, but remember your tears are to bring clarity to see the good side of life and to water your strength to keep striving for better happy days. Not always will we be able to have someone whom ...

  “ Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.” – Henry Ward Beecher I never rode a roller coaster but believe me when I tell you that this year has been like riding one! You scream out of fear, out of joy, get shocked and even cry sometimes, you literally experience all kinds of emotions… that’s how I think people riding roller coasters must feel, because that’s how my ride is! My life these past months has been a hella ride! and at some point along the ride, my head spun out of joy but also out of pain, the year got me into all kinds of emotions and I know it’s not only me, everyone got a ride of their own. Roller coasters experiences are not always good, and so do life’s! I’ve been reflecting on everything that happened throughout the year, and the only word I came up with was gratitude. Not because these 10months have been good nor that I am sure the remaining 2 will be great but because what I have, I gave nothing to deserve it. It is said that gratitude he...

“ Nature is pleased with simplicity.”–Sir Isaac Newton An English philosopher, Jeremy Bentham said that human beings are under the sovereignty of two masters; pain and pleasure. It is true that we are pleasure seeking and pain avoiding creatures by nature! But remember nature is pleased with simplicity, don’t you think our lives would be more easier if we tried not to complicate things? Yes, life is not easy but why complicate it more than it already is?! Why can’t we try to loosen up and only seek happiness for ourselves and everyone around us?  Aristotle said that for human beings to be happy they ought to avoid extremes and drive for the mean in all their actions. But the reason why most of us can’t be happy is because we settle for less or itch for too much.  We all love to sit under a cool weather and nobody likes it when it rains too much or when there’s sun burn, we like the moderation.  Same  thing with life, don’t settle for cowardice or go for rashness when...

  Who doesn’t like a sunset?! Sitting comfortably and peacefully watching the sun set is the most beautiful thing one can experience at the end of the day. But the pleasure is for the eyes mostly, and today I ask myself what if we pleasured the mind and heart by letting go and freeing ourselves from whatever weighs heavy on us? It is not easy to let go, it’s even more difficult to free ourselves from whatever is holding us back but in this life nothing is easy! 🧘‍♀️ Breathe, feel, and when you see something you’re so attached to or anything that holds you back, detach yourself from it and let go. Whatever we value or like is not always good for us but that?! We already know it, the question is, what do we do about it? We should learn to let go, not only the things we like but also those that are of no importance to us that we don’t know how to free ourselves from. Our fears, our anger, our bad habits, unhealthy relationships, unproductive jobs, the bad company, the constant desire...

Eyes closed. Imagine floating on water, the wind blowing the silence of day, your body and mind lighter than a feather! The simple thought of that eases the mind and lifts a weight from the heart. You might be busy with work, stressed with life issues, feeling emotionally exhausted, wanting an escape from the life you’re living but can’t seem to know what to do with your life anymore, you are at a point where you can’t even find the power to pray, you can’t find who to confide in, you’ve accepted there’s nothing that would change your situation, you’ve decided to let everything happening to you change the course of your life.  I want you to float, let whatever you’re going through be your water, float on it, let your body loosen up, make your heart and mind lighter, allow silence to invade your space then feel the blow of the wind. For you to survive the tides you need to stay calm and work out which direction the current is taking you, fighting it directly would rapidly tire you o...
