#22to40 - Embrace ALL that is YOU!

Embrace your YOUness! You are the only one-of-a-kind that the world needs a bit more of every day! Celebrate your UNIQUENESS and let it shine through. ~ Poonam

Today I was truly reminded of this.. How awesome that as I get to countdown to my forties, I am surrounded not only by people who find ways to celebrate with me, but embrace the ME of it all as well...

So today I was surprised by my first and oldest friend in the whole world who took time out of her busy schedule to help and remind me to "Embrace ALL that is YOU!" So I hope as I celebrate and try to embrace all that is me, that you are able to do the same 🤍☀️💫✨🥳 A little gift and memento kept aside to drop off and pass to me at an appropriate time not only made my busy and not so good day truly awesome, but also gives me an excuse to celebrate and share and hopefully inspire you too...


So today, or any other day this week or month or rest of this year, remember to Embrace ALL that is YOU!  Remember that you are truly only one-of-a-kind that is and ever will be...and as one of my friends always reminds me - your own special kind of special. Your brand of YOU and your UNIQUENESS is truly distinctive to you and you alone... so be crazy and awesome and amazing, but most of all - BE YOU! 

Much love, sunshine and light always, Poonam

#30to40 - Life in perspective

Just because I haven't been posting doesn't mean that the countdown hasn't still been pursued 💫🦋🌞 I hope as I share on how to put things into perspective you also take some time out to realise that sharing and "living" for social media is not ideal.. So many out there live for that perfect next shot or share that can be showcased to portray one's "perfect and ideal" life when behind the scenes we all know that life is not just sunshine,  rainbows and unicorns 🌞🌈🦄🙏✨ And so to the crux of my post - today, 30 days to my 40th birthday, I have lost my beloved and amazing Aajima 💕💫🙏 - my 91 year old special maternal grandmother aka Mom's Mom aka Shantibhen Vallabh born 6 August 1932 and passed away today, 3 October 2023. Nothing is as sobering as realising that someone you've known your whole life and so intimately won't live through another sunset yet alone a sunrise or anything else... Death is sobering and something so few talk abo...

#2to40 - Two is better than one...

Two is better than one they often say, or as per the Afghan quote "two are better than one, and three than two." Countless quotes, proverbs and sayings talk about two being better than one and maybe one of my favourites is from Ecclesiastes 4 9:10 in the Bible that says "Two are better than one... for if they fall, one will lift up the other." As my countdown starts nearing completion with 2 days to go until I officially celebrate my 40th birthday, it would be remiss of me to not celebrate a very big, important and significant part of my life - my siblings ... I am blessed with not just one, but 6 siblings... how the makeup exists is not important - but I am grateful every day that I am blessed with not just the "two is better than one" scenario or three is better than two.. but 6 - which to me is wayyyyyy better than any of the aforementioned! I came across an awesome article a while back that shares  "How your siblings can make you happier" p...

#1 You are invited...

Many of you may have journeyed with me through my various jlogging  adventures (journal blogging for those newbies - you will realise I am a great maker-up of words, especially those ending with "ness" that I like to think I've somehow coined!) ... But here I find myself, 3 months to the big 4-0 and more excited and ME than ever before... hence the titled of this chapter of my jlogging exploits being called " This is ME! " I have done my various advent calendar series along the way and the " Rediscovery of Poonam " in 2022, all with the same aim of sharing where and what I am as I mission to find out who I am, as I hopefully inspire, motivate and allow others to discover and own and claim and be the best versions of themselves too.  I'm proud and excited to share that I can confirm that something does happen along the way! I'm not sure if it's when you turn a certain age, or maybe when you've been through a lot in your life as I, and m...
