How I learnt spirituality from my non-spiritual husband

My husband, Alex, is as far away from meditation and spirituality as any person can be. He has simple needs and doesn't wonder about and ask deep life questions. If he can just do his work and have fun with people he loves, he is happy. If you asked him what made him happy, you …

Stranded & helpless in China at midnight!!! But we still felt powerful.

This is going to be a nice adventure story, so hang on till the end for the best part 😉 So there we were, all happy and excited in Beijing, having finished visiting most of its sights, having soaked in some diverse experiences, and ready to move on to the next adventure! But before that, …

When pain knocked me out, and I woke up to some harsh truths

Ever been in gut-wrenching pain, that made your face all crinkly? Ever tried to move your body parts, and have it refuse to listen, like a broken toy?

A situation is what you make of it

Enough with the fear. Time to show all your colors :)

Life is a roller coaster. Sometimes things are at a high, sometimes they come crashing down. Sometimes there is joy, exuberance, joy, laughter.

The moments that make the effort totally worth it!

If you have lived with someone in a close relationship (not like a roommate, but someone whom you love deeply), chances are that like me, you’ve been so annoyed and frustrated by some small and big things that they do, that you've wanted to bang your head on the wall in frustration. It doesn’t matter …
