Day 338 of 2025- Have A Good Weekend

 Hi Friends

We made it to the weekend, finally. After a long week of early mornings, busy days, and a lot on our minds, these next two days feel like a breath of fresh air. 

The weekend doesn’t have to be anything big or fancy. Sometimes it’s just about sleeping in a little, grabbing your favorite snack, spending time with people you enjoy, or catching up on the things you’ve been putting off. However you spend it, I hope it gives you room to relax, laugh a little, and recharge. 

Here’s to a good weekend you deserve it.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 337 of 2025- Its Cold

 Hi Friends,

It’s been cold lately, the kind of chill that slows you down, makes you pull your coat a little tighter, and reminds you winter has truly arrived. There’s something about cold weather that invites reflection; the stillness outside almost dares us to look inward. 

Maybe this is the perfect season for the small things we keep postponing. When the world feels quieter, when the days are shorter, perhaps that is when tiny steps matter most. You don’t have to overhaul your life or rush toward something grand. Just choose one small thing you’ve been waiting to do and begin.

Winter has a way of teaching us that growth often happens beneath the surface, invisible at first but real and steady. So while the air is crisp and the pace has softened, use this time to act on the little things because those are often the ones that quietly change everything.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 336 of 2025- Act

 Hi Friends,

As we move through December, I’ve been thinking about how yesterday we talked about wishes, and today I want to explore what comes after them. A wish is a spark, a soft whisper of hope, but it becomes meaningful only when we are willing to act. We all have something we’ve been holding in our minds, whether it is a goal, a change we want to make, a conversation we need to have, or a promise we quietly made to ourselves. 

Often we wait for the perfect moment, the right confidence, or a surge of motivation, yet life has a way of reminding us that moments become meaningful not because they arrive fully formed but because we choose to move. 

So I invite you to reflect on one thing you have been thinking about that you could act on today, even in the smallest way. It could be sending the message you have drafted in your head, beginning the habit you keep imagining, writing the first sentence of something that matters to you, making the call you keep postponing, or finally speaking the truth you have rehearsed a dozen times. 

The size of the action is not what matters; what matters is that it exists, that it signals to your life and to yourself that you are willing to show up for what you say you want. December may be brief, but so much can shift in thirty days when you decide to do instead of only hope. You do not need perfection or clarity to begin, only the willingness to take a first step, so ask yourself: What could you act on before the day ends, and what might change if you did?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 335 of 2025- December Wish

 Hi Friends,

If yesterday was about finishing strong, today I want to talk about wishing well.

Think of December like a candle on a cake singing softly, flickering in front of you, giving you a moment before you blow and make a wish. We don’t usually do that for months, do we? We blow out candles for years, for birthdays, for milestones. But months shape us too. So before this one disappears, I want to pause and ask:

What do you wish for yourself in these final 30 days?

Not the surface-level answer. Not the “be healthier, be happier” default. But the quiet wish, the one you almost don’t say aloud because it feels too tender or too bold.

As you step into December, here is my wish for you:

I wish you strength, not the loud, heavy kind, but the steady kind that keeps showing up.

I wish you courage to face what you’ve avoided, to step into spaces that stretch you, to say what needs to be said.

And I wish you dreams not just the ones you think are possible, but the ones that make your heart beat a little faster.

But this isn’t just my wish for you. This is your candle too. So ask yourself:

If December were a birthday candle, one last glow before the year ends what would you whisper into the flame? What do you want to welcome? What are you ready to release? What are you finally willing to hope for?

Maybe your wish is clarity. Maybe it’s peace. Maybe it’s momentum, forgiveness, closure, or a new beginning.

Whatever it is name it. Claim it. Don’t shy away from your own desire.

We don’t get to control everything that happens this month, but we can choose what we wish for and how we show up while we wait for it to unfold.

So before we say goodbye to this year, take one breath, picture that candle, and make your wish.

What do you want for yourself this December?
Because I’m wishing strength, courage, and dreams for you but only you can wish for who you are becoming.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 334 of 2024- Happy Last Month Of The Year

 Hi Friends,

Happy December!
We made it to the final month of the year. December is special every time it arrives, but this one, December 2025 is one we will never see again. That alone makes me pause. How does it make you feel knowing this moment, these next 30 days, won’t come back?

As I look back on the year, I feel a deep sense of gratitude. This year stretched me, humbled me, surprised me. It wasn’t always easy, far from it, but it opened my eyes in ways I didn’t expect. And even though I’m ready for a fresh start and a clean calendar page, I’m also aware that there are still 30 days left. Thirty days isn’t a throwaway. It’s a window. It’s an invitation. And I want to walk through it intentionally.

For me, these last 30 days are about ending strong. The strongest month of the year. I have a few goals I want to meet real, challenging ones and I know they’re within reach. It will take effort, discipline, and honesty with myself, but I also know what I’m capable of. There’s something powerful about proving to yourself that you can finish well, even when you’re tired or tempted to coast.

As you step into these final 30 days, I want to ask you:
What does finishing strong look like for you?
When you reach December 30th and you look back, what do you hope makes you smile?

Ask yourself some harder questions too the ones we usually avoid:

• Is there a conversation you’ve been putting off because it feels uncomfortable or vulnerable?

• What truth have you been refusing to acknowledge, even though you know it’s been trying to get your attention?

• What habit or mindset do you need to let go of before the year ends so you don’t drag it into the new one?

• What would your December look like if you showed up every day with intention instead of autopilot?

• What would it look like to give yourself permission to end the year proud truly proud of how you carried yourself?

We can’t rewrite the past 11 months, but we absolutely can shape these next 30 days. And maybe that’s enough. Maybe that’s exactly what this December is offering us: a final chance to realign, reconnect, release, rebuild, or rest—whatever our lives are asking for.

So here’s to December.
Here’s to finishing strong.
Here’s to stepping into the new year already becoming the person we want to be.

You still have 30 days.
What will you do with them?

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 333 of 2025- Last Day Of November

 Hi Friends,

It’s the last day of November. I have to say, the last few days felt great almost like “going off the clock.” With the long holiday weekend, schedules get pushed around. Wake-up times vary, eating times change, and there’s (hopefully) a lot more down time.

As we end this month, I’m feeling super grateful. As I think back on November, here are some questions that came up for me, and I hope you’ll use them to reflect as well:

• When were the moments I stayed grounded? In other words, with everything happening around me, how did I manage to stay true to myself?

• How did I make someone’s day better?

• Did I spend enough time with my loved ones?

• Did I take care of myself, like going to the gym or doing something that supports my well-being?

• Did I learn anything new about myself?

• What was my biggest challenge this month, and how did I face it?

I hope these questions help you reflect on the month. The goal is to look back, close things out with intention, and carry forward only what you truly need.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 332 of 2025-Its What You Do With It

 Hi Friends,

A small thought came to mind today. The words were simple but powerful: “It is what you do with it, Monita.” I was reflecting on a few things, letting my mind wander, and then that sentence rose to the surface with surprising clarity.

The more I sat with it, the more I realized how true it is for almost everything in life. Every experience we go through, every moment that lifts us up or challenges us, every relationship that grows or fades, and every choice we make, big or small. There is rarely a single right answer or one perfect path. Life is far more fluid than that. What really shapes us is how we choose to respond, how we interpret our experiences, and what meaning we decide to give them.

We often spend a lot of time wondering if we are doing things the correct way or if we are making the best decision. But when you think about it, the power has always been in how you decide to use what life hands you. You get to choose what you learn from a painful moment. You get to choose how deeply you appreciate a joyful one. You decide whether a difficult conversation becomes a wall or a bridge. You decide whether a challenge becomes a setback or a stepping stone.

This is what it truly means to be the Chief Self Officer of your own life. You guide yourself, you set the tone, you interpret the moments, and you lead with intention. Being your own CSO is not about perfection. It is about awareness. It is about reminding yourself that you are at the center of your choices, and you get to decide how your story moves forward.

So the next time something unexpected comes your way, pause and ask yourself what you want to do with it. Not what you should do or what you are supposed to do, but what aligns with who you are becoming. That small shift can change everything.

Because in the end, it really is what you do with it.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita
