When compassion speaks louder than judgement
I had long forgotten about this pen when she messaged me a few days ago. However, I will never forget an incident that happened with her. (Sharing with her consent) 🌱She was a good friend of mine who loved fasting. She used to fast every Monday and Thursday without a miss. 🌱She called me just […]
When Love visits again…
I met a friend the other day, someone who, years ago, swore they would never marry again. 🌱Their divorce had been bitter, painful. They told me back then, “Never again. I’d rather be alone than risk that kind of heartbreak.” 🌱Fast forward to today, and they are happily married. Not just content but genuinely, deeply […]
Are You Blocking Your Own Blessings?
Abundance and blessings don’t only take the form of wealth. They come as knowledge, time, skills, influence, health, and even a kind word. Every single one of us has something to give. The question is, do we? Some people hoard their wealth, fearing it will run out. Others have wisdom but refuse to share it. […]
True Faith is Holding On When Everything Says Let Go…
The real test of faith isn’t in how much you suffer, it’s in how deeply you BELIEVE. Many think that going through hardship is the real test. That the more they endure pain, the greater their trial.

Today marks the 9th year death anniversary of my father who has been the first entrepreneur I ever knew. 🏘Daddy, who was best and fondly known to everyone as ‘Mubarack Hajiar of Passara’ was one of the most successful gem merchants of the time who built a great business that spanned across his life. 🏘From […]
The time you take to bloom
Sometimes we skip into different pastures, hoping it will be greener on the other side. Little do we realise that it is always greener on the side you water and place your efforts on. From the time a seed is planted, to the time it takes to sprout its leaves and fruits, it takes a […]
Planning joy as you plan work…
Burnout and exhaustion are real. However, our work and jobs do not wait until our anxiety eases or the tiredness wears off. I’m a strong believer in work and life balance. Giving time to work, my family and most importantly to myself is key. Investing in time to enjoy yourself, relax, travel or learn something […]
From a Caterpillar to a Butterfly
Have you ever felt the subtle pull within, nudging you to explore the depths of your being? Well, you’re not alone. Seven years ago I felt this deep need to work on myself and discover what I truly loved to do. If I was to describe what it felt like, it was more of the […]
