Goa trip with your childhood friend..

Early morning flight..and then road trip in the most comfortable cars to the northern most Arambol beach and Southern most Palolem beach.. and all beaches in between..time to do some yoga and meditation at Morjim
Reading some book in the sunshine at Ashvem

A drive down the country side to see hills n coconut groves of Quepem Savordem Shiroda Zambaulim among others
Bumping into Mumbai friends..whom you did not get time to Meet in Mumbai for almost 6-8 months..and spending a day chilling with them !!

Visiting temples and rekindling childhood memories of time spent with my Grandfather and family in temples especially of Shantadurga and Mangesh ...receiving so much warmth and love from localities who tell me ' you smile and talk exactly like your mom'
Beautiful divine darshan at Mangeshi and Aarti at Shantadurga mandir

Food Fiesta at local restaurants savouring tasty seafood pampering my typical GSB tastebuds and those continental food restaurants where food isheavenly
Shopping in local shops speaking 'broken' Konkani skills ..and buying local snacks (which my parents apparently loved)

Finally wonderful hospitality at Taj Vivanta including the beautiful stay ...early check in ..late check out (yes!!) and a beautiful spa and delicious breakfast with such polite and caring staff to look after you!!

Inspite of the flight delay back to Mumbai and scorching heat of Goa..knowing 3 days were not enough... I return back to Mumbai but keeping a piece of my heart ❤️ in Goa - till we meet again
My love to Goa gets more n more every time!!
How does it get any better than this ?

Closing Cycles: by Paulo Coelho

Closing Cycles: by Paulo Coelho One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave (in the past) the moments of life that have finished. You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened. Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away. That is why it is so important (however painful it may be!) to destroy souvenirs, move, give lots of things away to orphanages, sell or donate the books you have at home. Everything in this visible world is a manifestation of the invisible world, of what is going on in our hearts – and getting rid of certain memories also means making some room for other memories to take their place. Let things go. Release them. Detach yourself from them. Stop turning on your Emotional

In the hustle and bustle of life, it's easy to lose ourselves in the art of people-pleasing, seeking validation and approval from those around us. Almost a decade ago, I found myself resonating with characters like Carrie Bradshaw from 'Sex and the City,' a show that once held a special place in my heart. However, as the years passed, I discovered a shift within me. I no longer found solace in the world of designer shoes and cosmopolitans; I realized I had outgrown the narrative of people pleasing and codependency that the series subtly glorified. Drawing inspiration from influential thought leaders, such as Dr. Wayne Dyer, Tony Robbins, Gabby Bernstein, Oprah, and Vishen Lakhiani, I embarked on a journey to break free from the chains of codependency Here are 7 things I stopped doing as a former people pleaser: 1. Seeking External Validation: Carrie's relentless pursuit of external validation struck a chord with my former self. Today, I no longer seek approval to defin

#day4 #accesssconsciousness #21daysofsuccessstories In the world where people say there is lot of negativity going on - and most people feel scared,helpless,cynical and pessimistic- we need to know that there is so much good available. The only thing you need to do is choose it. A Quick story of my client- who was stuck in a foreign land with phone battery gone dead in the country where they did not speak English. A little skeptical and a lot helpless Nayana (name changed again to keep identity safe) was really worried as she did not know what to do to reach hotel. All of a sudden she remembered a few tools of access consciousness and started using them on trial and error. She also started her prayers and since was also an Angel Therapy student - she prayed with all her heart Within 3-4 minutes she found a taxi and an English speaking taxi driver whom she says ‘appeared out of no where’ . He safely helped her reach her hotel room and she said “everything was so quick and
