This is your moment, own it!


Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it. - Oprah Winfrey

I am so excited and happy right now! I received a first version of my book “What did I learn today. Lessons on the Journey to Unconditional Self Love”! Yayyy!!

I looked at it for about a minute and then I screamed with delight and the tears started falling, tears of joy, no doubt!!

Truth be told, I never ever thought that I would be writing a book! I give so much thanks for the lessons on the journey and those who encouraged me to share. As Mama Maya Angelo says “when you learn, teach”

Yesterday when I was meditating, something stood out in my mind’s eye. Every single thing that brought me to this point I learnt something and I can now give thanks! Back then, I was definitely not thinking like that!! I just wanted it to end and to avoid any unpleasant experiences but I have learnt that it’s all part of the journey and some tests and teachers you may not enjoy but it’s still part of the bigger picture!

So there it is, a book came out of the experiences and I give thanks for it all!

Look out for the International launch in December and the Trinidad launch in March next year!
Thanks to all of you as

What is being of service? Looking upon another human being with kindness and compassion and not judgement is a profound act of service and though such a form of service lacks for whistles and bells, this expression of “service” comes from truly understanding the power of your soul and what it means to “look upon another with eyes of grace.” Carolyn Myss 1.

What Does Support Look Like to You?

Image
  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe

Sensible Optimism

  Optimism is usually defined as a belief that things will go well. But that's incomplete. Sensible optimism is a belief that the odds are in your favor, and over time things will balance out to a good outcome even if what happens in between is filled with misery. And in fact you  know  it will be filled with misery. You can be optimistic that the long-term growth trajectory is up and to the right, but equally sure that the road between now and then is filled with landmines, and always will be. Those two things are not mutually exclusive." Who told us that all the roads on the Journey of life will be smooth and bump free? And even if you knew or remember who told you, why did you believe it given what you know? What if the blessing, what if the growth, what if the joy is found on the rocky bumpy road? What if? And if it is, we can rest easier that the bumps and rocky roads are designed with us in mind, designed for us to grow, to learn, to live a life that is filled with varie
