when the answers come by divine orchestrations

On a flight, a woman shared with the stranger beside her that her family was suffering from an illness doctors had not been able to diagnose.

A man overheard the conversation and asked her about the illness and her home. The man turned out to be a mold expert. With his help, they discovered a deadly mold hidden in her home and saved her family before it was too late. More …

they can still say yes, regardless

I needed help with something, and I knew someone who could assist. But there was a problem: I didn’t know her well—we weren’t close.

I was worried she might not be open to helping since we barely knew each other.

I shared my concern with a friend, and they said….. More …

when life takes you through the longer route

One of my favourite things is following stories of people climbing mountains!

In a Q&A session, a woman who had just climbed a mountain shared why her guides chose the longest route to the peak instead of a shorter one.

She explained that the longest route offers the most stunning views of that particular mountain and lets climbers see more geological wonders. More …

Trigger warning: there is mention of sexual assault in this post.

A teenage girl was sexually assaulted in her room. The police came; they took her statement and packed her clothes and bed sheets for evidence.

I missed my stop but got my coffee

I was going for a hair appointment on a cold morning, and I was desperate to buy a cup of coffee before I got there.

no, this shit is not going to be our story

A few years ago, I was stuck in a situation with no clear way forward or back. I wanted out but couldn’t figure out how. One sleepless night, I came across a story that inspired me to keep trying until I broke through.

A couple got lost in the jungle without any safety supplies, and after a few days of trying to find their way out, they reached a dead-end.

They found a bag with a matchbox in it, so they set a fire, hoping someone would see the smoke and come to rescue them. The fire burned out, and nobody came. More …

some of the things that happened to me after my mother died

Six years ago, my mother died.  Today, I share what I experienced in the first year after her death.

We all don’t experience or deal with loss similarly, so I do not imply that everyone has or will go through these after loss. This post is my experience, and I hope it will help someone going through the same.

Cocktail Of Emotions
There are so many beautiful memories of my mother and unforgettable moments of joy and answered prayers we shared with her. She did a lot of good and had beauty and love in her life, but…. More …
