“Two Lands, One Soul.”

…Sometimes, it’s not just our inner strength that moves us.

 

Yes, we need that fuel, but oftentimes it’s a person who enters our life at the right moment, an incident that shakes us awake, a circumstance that challenges us, a fleeting situation, or a “PLACE” that we connect to deeply.

 

These are blessings from the higher power, gentle nudges, and at times, not-so-gentle pushes, asking us to leave our comfort zone for growth.

 

Don’t let them slip. Embrace them. Thank them.

 

And,

 

For me, that place of awakening is “INDIA.”

 

It is where my roots quietly rest, where the soil whispers, urging me to move forward in the unfolding of my life.

 

And yet,

 

I cannot speak of my journey without honoring the “UNITED STATES,” the place that has shaped me into who I am today.

The USA gave me opportunities, dreams, the drive to soar high, and the courage to become “ME.”

 

My life changed here; everything I am I owe to this realm, my homeland.

I transformed.

 

What an extraordinary gift, a complete package I have received from both lands.

 

Two worlds, both sacred to me — one that grounds me, and one that helps me soar.

 

So much love for both, for together they have made me “WHOLE.”
