I am not a religious person.  There is a reason for that.  Being born in a Jain family, I was exposed at a very young age to the idea that our senses lead us to temptations.  Our body is evil, and it must be denied so that we can attain nirvana.

What if they are mistaken? 
What if there is nowhere else to go to? 
And, what if there is no chocolate pastry in the place where we get our
nirvana?  Or worse still, what if we deny
ourselves all the good things we get in this life and miss the mark?  In short, no chocolate pastry, no high
voltage sex, no luxuries and no nirvana?

So in 2019 I celebrated the best ME I could be.  I took me out shopping, I went on vacations
with old friends, I looked after my health, I wrote books and blog posts.  I laughed a lot, cried a lot and generally
spent the whole year looking after myself.

Yes, it was a big deal.

We women spend all our lives putting ourselves on hold.  There are parents to obey, in laws and
husbands to care for, kids to nurture, targets to nail and bosses to be
appeased.  I did all that my whole life. 

In 2019 I decided I would do this for a change.

It will go down as one of the best years of my life.

I did not look to others for validation.  I did not seek anyone else’s approval. Just
mine. 

In doing so, I rediscovered myself.

It was wonderful. It was nirvana in real time.

So, what will I do in 2020?

More of the same of course!

Wish you all a happy 2020 and may you have the best time of your lives in the coming year.  May you all experience total liberation from all that is holding you back.

Blessings
