17-syriacrisis“Sometimes all it takes is just one small prayer to change everything.”

I often very happily admit that nothing phases my inner peace and happiness. But lately, the horrific images in the news and the atrocities on human lives is leaving me in knots. I am constantly living, but those images keep haunting me. Not because I am scared…no, but because I cant wrap my head around WHY this is all happening. Why has this thirst for world domination become so important to so many?

Innocent lives are paying the price. Every image on tv and the papers is of tragedy and an incredible loss of precious innocent human life.

When I started writing this, I wanted to vent at how it could be stopped, why the officials were being such pig heads etc etc… But I just stopped myself and thought, what purpose is that serving now.How will that help all the families who lost their loved ones, who are suffering in war torn Syria and how will that bring peace???

Simplify and Forgive Yourself for True Emotional Healing“Healing takes courage, and we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it.” ~ Tori Amos 

I am not one of those people who plan their every move. I just cant live that way. I prefer going with the flow or rather going with my heart.

In doing so, sometimes I make mistakes.

I never said I was perfect, nor do I aspire to be perfect.

But, somehow we have all been hardwired to be that way.. isn’t it?

From the time you think you start to understand or comprehend life, we are fed the perfectionism myth. The perfect look, the perfect body, the perfect scores in academics, the perfect set of friends. …Anything remotely less than perfect is just not acceptable.

I grew up in a time when if you didn’t have the right look, the perfect high marks in academics, you were considered a lost cause. Its only when I grew up {Ok maybe I do refuse to still actually grow up ;) } , did I realize that Its not how much you score, or how perfect everything in you or around you is that matters….
