Making a Fool of Myself this New Year
I know I am an okay singer. I often don't hit the high notes right and I take breaths in awkward spots. I need someone who sings on tune next to me to be on tune in a choir. And I lose my note when my husband starts singing in his bass voice. I just sing whatever comes to mind and hum words I don't know--mostly chorus lines. I sang in different school and church choirs while I was a teen and young adult. I always sang "My Favorite Things" when I tried out for musicals. I didn't quite have it memorized.

Why Failure Is Feedback, Not Defeat
Failure is one of the most misunderstood experiences in life. For many people, the word itself carries a heavy emotional weight—shame, disappointment, fear, and self-doubt. From an early age, failure is often framed as something to avoid at all costs. Exams are failed, goals are failed, expectations are failed, and each failure can feel like a personal verdict on ability or worth. However, when viewed through a healthier and more productive lens, failure is not defeat. It is feedback- information that guides growth, learning, and eventual success.

In a small village nestled between rolling hills and winding rivers, there lived a young boy named Ayaan. He was ambitious, curious, and had dreams that reached far beyond the boundaries of his little village. Every evening, Ayaan would sit under the old banyan tree near his home and gaze at the stars, imagining a life full of achievements and recognition.

You Don’t Need a “New You” in the Dead of Winter
I’ve been fairly preoccupied with pressing personal matters this holiday season (plus a family emergency for extra fun), because the universe’s timing is perfect as always with this stuff. But from the looks of my social media feeds, society still woke up [on January 1st] and decided it’s time for everyone’s yearly dose of intensity porn.

How to Live Your Truth
Recently, I watched a television show in which first-graders were discussing their truth. They were saying unbelievable things about discovering and recognizing their truth. They also emphasized what their truth was. The six-year-old boys and girls seemed confident about what they were saying. They were talking about the same things that are heard in adult conversations about their orientation.

Can A Lifestyle Be A Hobby Of Sorts
When we look at our life and the lifestyle we are living, can it be a hobby of sorts, or do we even think that it can be? Is that something that goes through our heads or do we just know that the lifestyle we have is made up of hobbies because that is what it is supposed to be? Could your life be a hobby of sorts, if that is what you want it to be? If so, how could that be something for you and the way that you live your life? Is it all about the things that you do and how you get the things you have to do in life done, yet relax at the same time. Do you think of it that way or do you think of it in another way, as though the things you do in your life are just things and hobbies are ways to relax in life? Think about that, and what comes to mind. Probably a number of different things. Which is why everyone’s idea of lifestyles and hobbies can be different things, so yes that means a lifestyle can be a hobby of sorts if that is what a person wants it to be.
