How do you plan your goals? I used to set goals by just thinking about what I wanted and hoping I’d get there eventually. But over time, I realized that without a real plan, most of those goals stayed as ideas and never became reality. Now, I take a much more intentional approach when planning … Continue reading Planning Goals with Intention

Create an emergency preparedness plan. We tell ourselves that emergencies won’t happen to us. But every day, people around the world face a reality they never saw coming—floods, fires, power outages, earthquakes, and more. I used to think, “That won’t happen here.” But I’ve learned that being prepared isn’t about fear. It’s about peace of … Continue reading Emergency Preparedness Plan – Ready for Anything
What Is a Word You Feel That Too Many People Use? There’s a word that has become the linguistic equivalent of a junk drawer: messy, full of things that don't belong, and rarely opened with intention. For me, that word is literally. It used to be a word of certainty. It meant "without exaggeration," a … Continue reading Overused and Overheard
What brings you peace? In a world that seems to move faster every day, filled with endless notifications and a constant pressure to accumulate and hold on, I often find myself searching for a different kind of quiet. For me, true peace isn't just a state of calm; it's a profound realization that is rooted … Continue reading The Peace of Impermanence

The shop would be dedicated to selling poison-free food items and groceries that are both healthy and genuinely affordable.

We all have those essential items we do a mental checklist for before stepping out the door: phone? Check. Wallet/keys? Check. Maybe a reusable water bottle or that trusty umbrella for unpredictable weather? Check, check. But for me, the absolute, unequivocally most important thing I must have with me, at all times, isn't a gadget … Continue reading The Clarity I Can’t Leave Behind
What change, big or small, would I like my blog to make in the world? That's a question that gets right to the heart of why I write. The world can feel overwhelming sometimes, filled with news that weighs us down and problems that seem too big to solve. But I believe that the greatest … Continue reading Igniting a Tiny Spark for Change
In another universe — one where no one clutches at time or fear — I awaken not with eyes, but with light. I am no longer what I once was. No bones. No noise in my head. No waiting. I am freedom itself — glowing, effortless, butterfly-light. They call me Elura here, though names are … Continue reading Becoming Elura in the Other Universe
What's the most money you've ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it? We’ve all been there—hungry, hopeful, and just a little too trusting of pretty pictures on the menu. That was me not too long ago, ready to treat myself to something special. I was craving something indulgent, so I ordered what I … Continue reading Pretty Food, Empty Flavor
I was scrolling through local news the other day, looking for something—anything—that barely qualified as a story. Not drama, not tragedy, not some massive world event. Just something utterly forgettable. And I found it. Apparently, a couple of tourists in a hill town were asked—politely, mind you—to throw their trash in a nearby bin. They … Continue reading Echoes of Nothing
