100 Words - Lasting Memories

My grandmother telling us stories of Lord Rama and Lord Krishna. I would sit riveted and Lord Rama became, forever, my hero.

Six year old me doing puzzles with my dad each evening.

Watching "Sleeping Beauty" (at least 1000 times) with my daughter when she was little.

Watching my son (at 4 years) make 3D models of houses and transformer toys.

Watching my mum make her delicious lamington cakes - never tasted better ones than hers.

Playing cricket with my brother and reading comics.

Playing with my dogs Snoopy and Fuji.

Some romantic and enchanted moments.

The list goes on!

I'm a little late for linking up, but this is my entry for 100 Words at Everyday Gyaan.

Wish you a day of fond memories.

Warm Regards

100 Words - Sacred Spaces

My sacred space is where I feel a connection to Spirit and the beauty of not having any preconceptions about it is that it can be anywhere.

I am truly blessed that I can shut out the world whenever I want to. Even with noise all around me, I can move into my sacred space.

Reading spiritual books, listening to devotional music anywhere, mantra chanting while doing my daily yoga, singing, quietly watching the hills or walking in nature, watching my favourite mythological Indian TV shows - these and others are my meditations and hence they are my sacred spaces.

Linking up to 100 words at Everyday Gyaan

Wish you a peaceful day.

ABC Wednesday - D is for ...

GBE2's prompt "Dream" lines up very nicely with ABC Wednesday.

Hence,  D is for ... Dreams 

And my post today leads on quite nicely from my previous post What's your song?

Picture taken from google search

I believe that dreams that are persistent, that give us great joy and uplift us are good indicators of our destiny. I also believe that thoughts or our dreams have the power to create. They are essentially our constant requests to the Universe.

But things just don't seem to happen quick enough for us. We want everything to happen instantly.

This poem is a nice reminder to me that once we send our request out to the Universe - through our thoughts, our words, our dreams - we need to step back, let go and be patient, as all things happen in their own time and in their own way.

Things and people will come to us if and when the time is right for them to appear in our lives. Often these appear in ways we least expect them to appear and hence feel that our dreams haven't come true.

I truly believe that all our requests are heard by the Universe when our thoughts and dreams are constant and have the potential to bring good to ourselves and to others. But as we are impatient, we try to force things and become our own blocks.  Or we fail to recognise that our dreams have materialised because they come to us in different ways than what we had imagined.

A lot of my dreams haven't materialised as yet (at least not in the way I imagine them to be) but I know that every opportunity that comes my way are stepping stones to my big dreams. In the meantime, I keep dreaming (big of course) and believing that they will come true.

Enjoy this song "Don't dream it's over" by Crowded House, one of my favourite songs.

Enjoy your day and I hope it's the day your dreams come true.
