When I was younger, I was a different person. A little bit more selfish, a little bit more naive, a little bit more immature, little more fearful, little more in my comfort zone, little bit more direct, little bit more to the face, little more concerned about money, little more controlling, little more planning, little more concerned about what people say, little more people pleaser, little more for obvious facts rather than instinct, wary of trusting the destiny and trying to control it.

Then, life happened! It happened to show me a different world! It happened to make me mature, to make me realize that people are more important, that life is flimsy, no one is promised a tomorrow! So grateful that life made me intuitive, insightful and trust destiny, prepared me for surrender, to allow what is, to be at peace, to be happy, no matter what! To trust the process, to trust the instinct, to let go…

This year has been pretty insightful! It has brought so many new possibilities, so many new avenues, opened so many doors and made me realize that all limitations are man-made. That the only limitations are the ones we set ourselves! Henry Ford one said ‘if you think you can or you think you can’t, you are right.’

The major highlight was the realization that it is possible to fall in love again! It is possible to find your soulmate. When the time is right, destiny will bring you together, trust the process!

Another highlight was my business! Few years ago, someone wanted me to run their multi-million dollar business and I was so under confident that I chose not to take that opportunity. Fast forward to this year and am thankful to destiny for showing the way to take the risk!

Publishing my book “Find Your Happy’ and getting interviewed on TV and Radio was another highlight!

Another highlight (which my friends don’t agree with), is me taking time off for family instead to an event with celebrities which, I agree, would have given branding, but at what cost? My family had been waiting patiently for me.

Another highlight was reconnecting with old friends. Everyone is busy! We make time for what matters most! Trip down the memory lane was so worth it!

And off course, the hot cars, hot dudes, beautiful places made a major presence throughout the year!

So, I start my new year on a note of gratitude! Grateful to all of you who have enriched my life in so many ways, grateful for having my heart and soul at the right place, grateful for all the love, joy, happiness, caring, kindness, compassion, generosity, friendships, romance, abundance, prosperity, and everything else life brings in 2018! Grateful for all the amazing possibilities destiny has in store, grateful for total surrender!
