travel destination 2009

i

i missed blogging

since i got back its been so hard to continue blogging as i did on while my trip, not sure what the diff now but i know i have so much more stories to share still but a bit busy these days but i dont like the word so i will use occupied with so much-to-dos. funny

word of the day: "I want more each day out of life" (do one ever get enough?)
by unknown  actually author is me

Power P+ thinking

i share my read-in-progress...the ability to think positively against all odds

there are times when we dont have it all figured out so we search deep inside for that pep talk to elevate our minds ....as my search continues.... i found this book  by Norman Vincent Peale  "The Power of Positive Thinking for young people"

oh lo and behold what i found in the book..........there it was my favorite bible quote: on page 9-chapter1 staring at me once again: " I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me.. Philippians 4:13

"repeat this words says the author ..several times with attitude of faith" 
i have always said this words to myself deeply before any event i face not knowing the power it had fully but believing that it will invoke the passion and steer me through any situation

i share this with you. for now but will update this as i go along

words to live by:  repeating those words/quotes sure gives me strength as i navigate these waters...

back to houston

my trip was life changing. i could not have asked for a better experience. i learned so much. one particular quote speaks to me

"The value of life is best measured by the moments spent in giving one's self..."

got books? join my mini- book club?

greetings from pune. am getting used to the schedule, the noise. the beat. the rythmn. the essence.

my Words to live by today is quotes from his website

"I promise you this: at the end of your days, you will discover that the things you now perceive to be the big things in your life will be seen as little things and all those things that your now believe to be the little things, you will realize, were really the big things."

-Robin Sharma

shopping in Pune. quite different experience .am enjoying the colors of fabrics. now to get great deals its encourage to negotiate prices so i try but not perfect as foreigner is writing all of me...

week three

week3 now... went shopping this wknd. some great finds could not resist.

why does the person that stays a floor above my hotel room insist on dragging their chair or bed across the room each nite.morning.day, i wonder what he/she is doing up there? am already dealing with an out of order sleep condition + vertigo  that seems to be totally out of control due to the timezones and heavy noise pollutions- But there is nothing prayer cant cure! i say my prayers .relax. breath. and it calms down WOW

the car, taxis on the street are loud, crowded, their piercing sounds of horns are blazing. my head was spinning in the car , our driver was talking loud on his mobile giving directions to one of our local guides for shopping on sat the noise that came out of these little cars passing were brutal. ok let me stop or my friend will say " stop ur whining young lady"?

the experience is totally priceless for me. the weather is nice. i am learning alot about myself. my likes.dislikes or in betweens. my tolerance level. my hopes.ambition and drive.
apparently i needed to be in an unknown surrounding to completely appreciate everything to make sense, not that i didnot before but there is a newfound zeal that we are definitely blessed and highly favored by our creator.
my interest level is shifting to more global awareness. this trip has heightened that deeply in me
i research global initiatives, sustainable environment, i read blogs that encourages that.

are you going to make a difference one person at at time?  follow me the calm voice says...
