Happy Dusshera. The victory of good over evil. I love that fall is a perfect reminder for me to shed the 10 evils.

The rainy nor’easter still hasn’t let up. Last week I did a lot of getting out of my head. Went leaf peeping, picked up my camera again for landscape photography but the funk still remained. So,
I took my own advice.
The advice I give my clients when they feel stuck: close the usual tabs, leave the usual routine, and go do something creative.
I drove 35 minutes to the The Writing Gallery walled with the beautiful art of Roger Wells) and let myself be led by Karen Kenney for the Write Club.
A second timer, I still went with a “not a writer” label. Ooh, Karen quickly ripped it off as an Ouchless Bandaid.
And that is how  I ended up on the African plains, amongst 1000 wildebeests, revisiting a memory from almost a decade ago.
That is what slowing down can do. It gives an old memory room to wander in and say, “Actually, I may have something to say about your current problem.”
Write Club was exactly what I needed in that moment: surrounded by other women in a collective harmonious energy and moved by individual voices.
I am already excited about my next write club. This time - without any labels.
What have you done lately that took you out of your usual routine and surprised you?

My surprise? I met Emily Aborn (my virtual connection for a few years) and found a fellow portrait artist Amrose Connect.

Don’t let dark rainy days stop you. Find your sunshine ☀️

Sometimes, getting ahead isn’t about adding another credential or checking another box. It’s about making sure people see the value you already bring.

You may have met Kapu Patel from You Shine Mindset Coaching last year, but this year, she’ll be leading “Stop Being The Best Kept Secret In The Room,” an interactive session about stepping into greater visibility, recognizing where you may be holding yourself back, and learning how to advocate for yourself with intention.

It’s not about being louder. It’s about making sure your work and value don’t go unnoticed.

October 23 is now less than a month away! Tickets are selling fast, don’t wait to reserve your spot today!

Caption is where the meat is. Reviving a post 5 years to date

BE LIKE A TREE AND LET THE DEAD LEAVES DROP - RUMI
This post is about the perceptions we think society creates and we hold ourselves to. Until we are ready to drop them, they cling to us. Sometimes we even nurture them.
My mother was born and raised in South Africa in a very conservative Indian family. In the 50s when women wore those fun twirly dresses, she was asked to wear a half saree. And as soon as she was marriageable age, she and her sisters were brought to India to be married in early 60s. A smart, well read woman got married to an equally smart, well read modern thinking man whose family was the exact opposite. She now had to wear a “full” saree and even keep herself veiled. As my younger uncles got married and the “younger” daughters-in-law came in the family, the ones who grew up in the late 60s, my grand-mother relaxed the rules and the veil was lifted. But the saree remained.
And that is the background.
This was my conditioning and the realities I created were based on a lot of these perceptions.
Married women are supposed to wear sarees only (1960s)
You are in America now, you can’t wear sarees otherwise you wont be assimilated.(1980s)
Maybe you can wear sarees if you are attending Indian events(1990s)
If you let yourself go gray, you will look old (1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s...until 2020 when gray became the new blonde)
And then just like that autumn arrived, and she dropped those leaves - one by one by one by one….
She stood alone in a roomful of people who didnt know anything about a saree, in a foreign land, a saree draped on pants (saree is only to be draped on a petticoat) and head held high with a fascinator (Gosh, you never wear a fascinator with a saree. You must wear a proper western dress if you wear a fascinator)!
It was fun to let go of those leaves because it was she who was holding on to those dead leaves. No one else even knew about them.

When was the last time you gave yourself the best chance to succeed? HexClad
When I shared this incident with my friend Aparna, these were her words “He’s giving himself the best chance. That’s exactly what women should do as well. No guilt, no apology, no explanation. Just confidence. 😂”
Comment “Best Chance” for a complimentary call.
