If today feels heavy, let this hold you !!!

Maybe life fell apart when you least expected it. Maybe a loss came too suddenly, a goodbye, a moment that split your world in two. Maybe your heart feels like a house no one visits anymore. The world keeps moving, and you feel as if you’re standing still, aching, unseen, unsure.

So let this land on your heart like a warm hug- you’re still here.
And that’s not small, that’s sacred.

Life breaks things. But God doesn’t walk away from broken things. He draws near. He sits with you in the silence, in the heaviness, in the dark. He places His hand gently on your back and says, “I’m not leaving. Not now. Not ever.”

You don’t have to be strong. You don’t have to explain. He already knows. And still, He stays.

You were never meant to carry this alone.You were meant to be comforted, to be held, to be reminded that even now “especially now” you are loved beyond measure.

One day, slowly, something inside you will rise again- its voice as gentle as love itself-
“You’re not lost. You’re safe. Come home to yourself- you were & are never alone.”
That’s how peace returns, not all at once, but softly, like love remembering where you live.

Until then… rest. Cry. Let the tears fall.
Call someone who loves you simply for existing.
Let yourself be human.

This is not the end of your story.
It’s just the part where heaven holds you a little closer, kisses your forehead and says,
“When you’re ready, we’ll walk again… together.”

Sending you a hug , woven from light and love, reaching straight to your soul.…because even if the world feels far, love is near. And I’m holding you there gently…~Latika Teotia

Dear Homemaker, You Don’t Have to Be Everything !!!

She wakes before the sun, serves without complaint, juggles meals, messes, moods, and still smiles through her exhaustion. She’s told she’s “just at home,” yet she’s the anchor that holds everyone together. In trying to be everything for everyone, she forgets to leave space for herself.

But dear homemaker-you are not a machine.
You don’t have to prove your worth by how tired you are.
You are not selfish for resting. You are not weak for asking for help.
You are allowed to pause. To breathe. To simply be.

The world may not always applaud the quiet heroism of your day, but your soul feels every moment you ignore its whisper.

“You were never meant to burn out while keeping the lights on for everyone else. You deserve the same care you so freely give.”

You don’t have to be superwoman. You just have to be you, and that is more than enough…~Latika Teotia

Dream Beyond Limits !!!

Life isn’t a checklist of what’s practical. It’s a canvas, wide and waiting. Don’t hold back by asking if something is realistic or possible. Imagine life as a place where you can wish for anything, without fear, without hesitation.

“Dreams are whispers from your soul.
Paint them boldly, nurture them tenderly,
and trust they will find their way into the light.”

Each dream you carry is a color, a note, a spark.
Feed it with love, faith, and patience.
At first, it may be invisible, like music unheard or paintings unseen.
But quietly, it begins to take form, filling your world with beauty you once only imagined.

Don’t be afraid if it takes time.Every masterpiece begins as a single brushstroke.Believe in your dreams.  The universe is ready to meet you halfway…~Latika Teotia

Dancing With Uncertainty !!!

There was a time when life felt predictable, jobs were steady, love felt lasting, health was taken for granted. But life, in its quiet wisdom, reminds us- change is the only constant.

“The winds will shift, the ground may sway,
but the soul that bends with grace never breaks.”

Uncertainty is not here to punish us. It is here to shape us, to make us softer in spirit yet stronger in heart. As women, we often carry dreams for many- our families, our homes, our futures. It’s natural to long for safety and stability. Yet real strength lies not in clinging, but in learning to flow.

Trust yourself. Build your life on faith, not fear. Let adaptability, courage, and hope be your companions.In a world that is always changing, the bravest thing you can do is keep moving with love…~Latika Teotia

Be Your Best-self !!!

Perhaps 2022 is about making changes, shifting perspectives, letting go and releasing all that which is not adding life to our lives. Granting people more grace and being human as well as humane is very much needed. Let 2022 be our better version… ~Latika Teotia

God Provides And Takes Care !!!

I’m sure most parents of differently abled children will agree with me that  these children helped us in evolving in a soulful way & made us more compassionate. We learnt so much in this journey of taking care of our differently able child. We also realised that God is never unfair- if closes the door He opens a window. He compensates by blessing these children with super powers like patience, compassion, understanding, peace, even happiness and lets them retain their innocence. He gives immense strength and hope to the parents of children with special needs.  Yes, we parents do get anxious when it comes to the security and care about our child after us- it is but human to do so. In such anxious moments, we should have full faith in God and believe that He was, is and will always be there with our children. He will find ways to extend His mercies through somebody, somehow. Thinking about the future we shouldn’t waste our precious moments with our children. Till we are around, fill their little world with hope and joy and be sure, their future will be taken care. We shouldn’t forget that God provides and takes care even of the smallest living being…~Latika Teotia

Simplify Your Life & Create More Freedom !!!

When you try to define simplicity, you tend to straight jacket it into a laid down structure thus imprisoning yourself and tying yourself into knots. I decided to throw myself into the chaos called life and suddenly I found it was so very simple. Don’t look for definitions, directions just follow your heart… it’s as SIMPLE as that!!!! ~Latika Teotia

Trust God and Practice Patience !!!

In these trying times when the only thing that is certain is UNCERTAINTY,  we must not lose patience. Yes, these are chaotic times, but, remember out of chaos is born order. Do not shy away from donning a new _avtaar_ by rising from the chaos and reinventing yourself. Do not resist- it will only result in pain. Smile and sing your way through life- that’s the only way to survive and come out stronger at the other end. ~Latika Teotia

Brave Act Of Self-Care !!!

Sharing our worries and problems makes them seem less light- I speak from my own personal experience. It also helps us in finding solutions as well as in healing. When I opened up to my friends and shared my worries as well as problems, I not only felt lighter but also began to heal faster because I felt loved and cared.

Yes, initially when I was passing through tough times and withdrew myself, I did lose some people because I was not confident about their understanding me as well as my problems and felt that they would , instead of helping, be judgmental. During those miserable days, I pretended to be tough, brave and happy- though I knew in my heart of hearts that I desperately needed a shoulder to weep on.

Now when I look back, I feel I should have trusted the positive response from my near ones. Bad experiences from a couple of toxic relationships doesn’t mean that we put everybody in the same category.

I am sure there are many kind and sweet souls who would go all out to mend a broken wing. Trust them to help us find our feet because they genuinely care for us and even if they can’t solve our problems they can at least hear us out.

Instead of clamming up during our times of distress we should trust our friends because there are genuine people who can lift us and be the wind beneath our wings. ~Latika Teotia
