33 Reasons To Fiercely Embrace Life

by

New Zealand South Island

Jet lag and I have been at it again this week. I had been up most of the night but at 3:30am, I closed my book and decided to go to sleep. Reading always makes me sleepy and The Autobiography of a Yogi is about the spiritual path of Yoginanada through self-realization. The calm, relaxation-inducing kind of material to bring on the sleep. No such luck. Instead, my inner voice was loudly recounting the many reasons that make our lives so remarkable. How c ould I sleep anymore when no dream could surpass such intense reminder about daily bliss? [Read more…] about 33 Reasons To Fiercely Embrace Life

Episode 23: The Language of Love and Support

by

The Daily Interaction Podcast

Welcome back to Episode #23 of The Daily Interaction podcast. Today’s topic is about the language of support with our loved ones, especially when you are in pursuit of an uncommon lifestyle or rather, one that is not at all similar to the life that your parents or guardians have known or have lived.

It is challenge enough to find our own path in life, mainly because having choices is a blessing in disguise. You can choose the life of your dreams and desires but how to you make others come to terms and support you about your choice? [Read more…] about Episode 23: The Language of Love and Support

Why Luck Has Nothing to Do with Achieving Dreams

12 Apostles in Melbourne Australia

I have been in Australia for a week now, a beautiful unforgettable week here in Melbourne, a lovely laid-back city that has everything you could need plus an easy, happiness-inducing feeling about it. Yesterday, we drove to see the 12 Apostles. The pictures in this post are from the scene of these stunning rock formations along the south coast of Melbourne. The inspiration from this post was not just by luck. It came straight from the wind and the sound of the waves crashing against these rocks.

God, I just love traveling! It is a habit that we picked up one day many years ago, [Read more…] about Why Luck Has Nothing to Do with Achieving Dreams

Unforgettable Stories: “The Help” by Kathryn Stockett

by

How much of our character is shaped by the time and the era into which we are born? Can we truly think for ourselves without being outcast from the society in which we live or is our only choice to comply with the current times if we want a normal, happy life?

There are far too many periods and places in history that would turn any bright sunny day into a cloud of darkness and despair, if we had the misfortune of living in one. The 1940s in Germany during the unspeakable horrors against humanity for one. The 1790s in France during the horrific period of the French Revolution for another. The 1980s in Tehran at the height of the Iranian Revolution and a reality of my own childhood, for yet another.

And the era in which Kathryn Stockett’s brilliant novel is set: Mississippi, USA, the 1960s, for yet another. [Read more…] about Unforgettable Stories: “The Help” by Kathryn Stockett

Reflections on Iran: A Letter and A Conversation

by

Letter_Farsi_IranAmerica

When I was 7 years old, I wrote a letter and mailed it to America to a cousin that I adored who was now living in a country that I only dreamt about.

What I would give to enter the world of the 7-year old me writing this letter from Iran during the worst revolution of my country’s history? What I would experience if I could behold her composing these simple Farsi words in an elementary style Persian handwriting? What I would say if I could only engage in one conversation with her?
