My dear readers,

As we head towards the new year amidst the buzz of the festive spirit, I write again to touch base with each of you to review the year in the context of wellness and connectedness. This year has been much about the pandemic – and much more about the lessons learnt during what has been a year of crisis for so many of us.

Ironically COVID has emphasised connectedness in more ways than one – COIVID touched all of humanity -regardless of class, gender and race. We also got to learn new ways of keeping busy- having purpose – and living well –working from home has been the norm and long distance travel almost a thing of the past.

How did we stay connected? What helped ….

• Taking time to Excercise
• Practising kindness
• Taking time to reflect
• Spending time with nature
• Being able to ask – what am I to learn from this
• Refraining from blame
• Reaching out to those who struggled
• Learning to reach out and ask for help
• Showing acts of kindness and love in small and big ways
• Supporting home grown talent and
• Being grateful – taking in all the positives and
• Having Faith – that this too shall pass….

All of the aforesaid comes from loving more …..and living in the now…..”Anyone can live sweetly, patiently , lovingly , purely till the sun goes down. And this is all that life really means .”- Robert Louis Stevenson”

So Let our New Year be all about loving more and living in the now 😊

“Tomorrow is a new day , you shall begin it well and serenely”.- Ralph Waldo Emerson

With much love
