Hi.
Welcome to my blog. I document my inner & outer journeys as they unfold. Hope you have a nice stay!
Welcome to my blog. I document my inner & outer journeys as they unfold. Hope you have a nice stay!
And it all started….
One evening, after I had spent all day drawing repeated patterns on an illustration, I realized that my life had developed a pattern of its own...a pattern of saying 'No' to life, experiences & to myself. I had, over the years, arrived at a complacency that stopped me from dreaming big & living fully. I had submitted to a conformity that had prevented me from being all that I can be. I made a decision that day. I decided to start saying ‘Yes’…yes to change & new ways of thinking & being. I let go of everything that didn’t serve me well...long held beliefs, habits & prejudices, my desire to belong, my need to be accepted, my pursuit of perceived perfection and most importantly, my comfort zone. I chose to say 'Yes' to (what was for me) unusual journeys, unconventional choices, unexplored feelings & untested waters to keep myself open to new learnings.
It has been about 8 months since I made this decision and life has been a mixed bag of candy so far…sweet, juicy, hard, nutty, bitter, sour…but utterly satisfying in every bite. I have re-taught myself to live & learn purposefully & passionately. I have chosen to pick myself up with love & compassion whenever I stumble & fall. I have opted to listen to my own voice. This has shone a new light on myself & my art of living. I am re-looking at many aspects of life…health, relationships, parenting & priorities without my cultivated lenses and it looks and feels great. So, I journey on mindfully, making one change at a time...always remembering my favorite quote that adorns the wall of my little art studio…"She stood in the storm and when the wind did not blow her way, she adjusted her sails".
Welcome to Amygdala. This blog serves as a record of my journey, learnings & memories as I live it.
I had a yearning...a yearning to go back in time and meet a cherubic little 5 yr old. This girl who was fading from my memory was calling out to me.
"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;...
“She was free in her wildness. She was a wanderess, a drop of free water. She belonged to no man and to no city”
I had heard much about the wild beauty of Slovenia, its forests, sunny meadows, alpine pastures and green hills...
As I walk, I feel like pieces of myself, that I had left behind on my previous journeys here, rejoin me and fill in the gaps...
A gorgeous pearl of an archipelago nestled in the Mediterranean, Malta is one of the smallest countries in the world...
