Hello hello!
How are you? Iām so sorry for not being consistent with my newsletter. I really hope youāve been doing well. Iām glad to see your response to my past letters. Iāve been on a spiritual journey myself and Iām loving it. Iām trying to do everything intentionally now. Iām still living the same life but with many great changes for my soul. Iām much more at peace and trying to find a rhythm to my new norm.
Here are a few other life updatesšļø
Abby has grown into a fine lady haha! The funniest is when I take her down for a walk and she sees other babies her age, she calls out to them saying ābabyā as if she is an adult! Lol, itās the cutest thing! She is so receptive and so curious!
She is now walking and loves to take us for a walk around the house every time.
Veronica and I have planned our yearly trip and this time weāre going out of the country! Itās been one of our wishes to travel together and see many places around the world. Itās a girlās trip, so mum, Abby, Vero and I! Iām pretty stoked to be traveling after so long.
Not gonna lie, Iām nervous to be on a plane for 10+ hours with a toddler but we will figure it out!
To be honest, Iāve just been praying for you. I remember you in my prayer, daily. I feel like the youth is very lost. We are in dangerous times.
Health and fitness have hit an all-time low, Social media is fake, music is evil, depression is skyrocketing, and loneliness has taken the driver's seat in everyoneās lifeā¦š
Itās quite chaotic out there.
I often wonder how I can be of help to all of you.
Anyone who meets me for the first time is going to think that Iām weird. I already know that. I do not indulge in anything that most people do and it sets me apart but it also makes me the āweirdā chic. Lots of times people think āfitting inā means conforming to worldly desires but I think running away from them as much as possible is the way to maintain your sanity.
I want to encourage you to choose the path of peace. Not happiness, but peace.
You might be in the most difficult storm of your life and that can lead to unhappiness, but you can still have peace in your heart.
How?
Rest in God. Give your burdens to Him.š¤
Very early on this year, I realized that I do not have to carry my worries on my shoulders. Some of us had to grow up too quickly and take on the family burdens, just like I did. I tried to do it all on my own and failed multiple times. I would cry every other night before bed not knowing where my life was headed.
Then I found God, and it changed my life.
Iāve been Christian all this while but it was not until now that I had a relationship with Jesus.
Earlier I followed āreligionā that is why I wasnāt fulfilled.
Today I work on building a relationship with God and I understand what it means to fully submit my life to Him. As the months went by I felt my burdens lift off of me.
Trust me when I tell you, Iām in the best phase of my life. To know Jesus is to know peace. He loves you and He sees you. Even if you donāt know Him, He knows you. He is waiting for you every single day.
People ask me, How have you suddenly grown so close to God? Or What happened to you suddenly?
When I realized that Jesus didnāt want me to do a million things to attain his love, my heart softened. His love is not conditional. He doesnāt care about our status, He doesnāt want our money, He ONLY wants our hearts and our time. He is Love. He only wants you to love everyone around you and treat them with utmost kindness.
What a beauty!
So, if you havenāt remembered God in 20+ years old your life, I urge you to remember God and acknowledge Him. Your life will never be the same again. If you havenāt gotten your dream job, if youāre confused about your relationship, if youāve been single for years, if you have a complicated relationship with your parents, if you want to run away from home and moreā¦Just seek God. Lean on him and He will lift you up in ways you do not know.
Media has been created to distract us from the love of God. It takes all our time away. Put your phone down, close your door, and simply talk to God. He is in your heart.
If you struggle to believe in God, look outside your window for a second, look upā¦that big blue sky, the rains, the birds in the sky - all of that is creation. Just like every painting has an artist behind it, every car has an engineer behind it, every meal has a chef behind it, and everything on this earth has a Creator behind it. The world is not functioning on its own, there is a Higher power at play. We have to give up this idea that we know everything and we are everything.
Humble yourselves and seek God.
I hope I was able to get through to some of you today. You will be okay. Life is long but itās temporary. Itās fleeting. Donāt stress yourself with things you cannot and should not control.
Psalm 55:22
Cast your cares on theLord
and he will sustain you;
he will never let
the righteous be shaken.
This is such a good channel for all of you who are confused and struggling with addictions of any kind, these 2 young girls, believers of Christ take us through the addictions and past and show us how to navigate through it all.

I was back at one of my FAVORITE places in Mumbai, Americano in Colaba after so many years. The pizza & their chopped kale salad was devoured. š
