Build an environment that speaks to your goals, not your fears.
What you surround yourself with either sharpens your focus—or blurs it.
What are you choosing today?
Varalakshmi Pooja / Vratham post.
I usually end up getting DMs from women about how a pooja ended up being either an emotional harassment or an instance of menstrual segregation.
If your Pooja for a FEMALE Goddess like Mahalakshmi is made impure because of menstruation or make it about not including a woman because her husband is dead - The HUSBAND IS NOT THE ONE WHO GIVES TURMERIC AND KUNKUM to a girl - she is born with and it is not something that a man who comes in between takes away.
Women need to not be such valiant gatekeepers of patriarchy and do better.
Menstruation is not impure
Neither is a widow - amangalam.
In contrast - all those women living with abusive partners in horrible marriages are not really the epitome of being a sumangali.
End.
Every once in a life presents with you some choices to make that determine the next phase of your life, rest of the time is just preparing ourselves to make the best of that moment
Taking a deep breath, curling up in your favorite corner, and letting the world slow down for a bit.
Not everything needs fixing today—some things just need a little warmth and time.
Isn't it okay to just be for a while?
