The Strength I Didn’t Know I Had

-
Last year around this time was honestly one of the roughest phases of my life. I was trying hard to convince myself that I had the willpower to stay away from things I love, people I care about, food I enjoy, and even routines I hated. I even stopped writing blogs for almost 2 months. It’s been 4 years now… Somehow, I still feel like I achieved something.

There were regrets, there were learnings, and there were plenty of mistakes. But all of it made me stronger from the inside. For that, I’m grateful. The universe kept sending the right people at the right time, and I can only thank it for that.

When I look back now, I can see how much stronger I’ve become; physically and mentally. I still push myself every day. It’s not easy, but I’m learning to hold my ground with a little more willpower, and not slip back into old patterns again.

Denzil is going back to the Netherlands tonight! So he called me (last night), to accompany him to IDC for breakfast! He wanted to satisfy his Masala Dosa and podi Idli cravings!  So we set out early, at  6:30ish as planned  7:45 to IDC. Andy joined us. We drank coffee, ate some amazing breakfast.  After we stepped out, our eyes fell upon this dawg! The pup was shivering.. and had this “I need help” “I’m cuter than them bitches” eyes. We really didn’t know what to do. People walking around at the park told us, it was abandoned and had difficulty to walk. Some people even asked us to “please do something, it needs help” Someone had abandoned the pup at the park maybe in hopes that someone will rescue her. “Compassionately heartless” quipped Denzil  I reached out to everyone I knew who had some experience with rescuing dogs! Tanya, who was pretending to sleep, ignored our calls, but we called her mom to “wake” her up. I spoke to her while Denzil sent a picture of ...

Heal

When was the last time you said,  “What I did was wrong” before blaming someone else? It takes integrity, humility, and courage to admit when you’re wrong. But doing so can bring peace and help you move on without bitterness. We all make mistakes, we’re human, not robots. We mess up sometimes, and that’s okay. Every action has consequences. We just have to face them and take responsibility for our choices. It's tough to live with guilt and shame, but you’ve got to forgive yourself and move forward. If you choose to repeat the same mistake, that’s your decision!, but be aware, there  will  be consequences. Growth only begins the moment you stop running from the truth and start owning your story. Along with being kind to yourself you must be honest as well. That’s when healing begins.

2024, what a year it has been! Lot of learning, growth and experiences. The year started with an accident! I didn’t walk for 3 months. I spent my time contemplating a change in career, but eventually decided against it.  Then, I picked myself up, did 2 music workshops and a student concert. This gave my students and me the confidence on the journey we are taking with music.  I have a lot of people to be thankful for.  Mom! What an amazing woman! She’s a power house, keeping it all together. Can’t thank her enough for the meals, love and care she shows towards me.  Andy! My brother, I have watched him grow from a small boy to a fine gentleman through the years. We have shared a lot of moments and laughter together. I’m very proud to see how he picked himself up.  Solomon! Sibling from another mother. I talk to him about almost everything I’m going through and he patiently listens to every thing with no judgements.  Tanya, oracle. Calm and sensible person! Sh...
