April 2024: This month I am celebrating turning 26 years old. I am so grateful for the blessing of being alive on this little planet for twenty six years. That is a little more than a quarter of a century, how wonderful does that sound? To honour the occasion, I reserved a moment of instrospection to compile a list of 26 things that I have learnt about being human during this time.
January 2024: During a brief period of tranquility and stillness, I frequently found myself searching for a reminder of the importance of living tenderly and slowly. With the help of some encouraging words by the wonderful Mary Oliver, I practiced shifting my awareness to things beyond my self, by cherishing the interconnectedness of all living beings on this earth.
