What storytellers do! :)
This is what storytellers do!
We restore order with imagination!
We instill hope again and again and again!

Victims and survivors!
Victims and survivors should be heard!
But they themselves should develop the courage and capacity
to stand up to the challenges...that the world throws...
to stand up for their story!

Beautiful!
Because at the end of my life I just want to see
that I contributed more than I criticized!
So if you cannot offer someone healing....
stay quiet!

Principle of intention!
"I do not do anything and I ask that you consider,
not doing anything that you do not truly intend!
Do not allow yourself to be marginalized and
defined by other people's 'agendas' and intensions!"
It is MY INTENTION to fulfill the dream of the creator!
It is my intention to live to the highest calling
and be pressed to the mark of the highest calling,
that i have come to do! :)

I am living the dream because I was obedient to the call of the dream!"

Vulnerability
Vulnerability is NOT disclosure!
Vulnerably is can you manage uncertainty and risk
and emotional exposure! Can you stay in hard conversation.

Scarcity Culture and Active Courage!
We are living in a thin film of terror wrapped around us!
So it starts with,
'I am not safe enough, I am not secure enough,
I am not liked enough, I am not promoted enough,
I am not loved enough and ultimately 'I am not enough!'
(If you are too depressed please see these flowers and breathe ;p)
So the number one casualty of a 'scarcity culture' is - Vulnerability!
We shut down! Cause I am not going to let you know about me!
Cause I am scared!
Vulnerability is not just about fear and grief and disappointment!
Its the birthplace of joy, creativity, faith, love!
And there is no creativity and innovation without failure!
So we have to be open enough to take risk to fail...
That brings us to courage!
and this is the original definition of the word courage
'Cour' in latin means heart!
So courage really is sharing your story with a whole heart!
so active courage is active storytelling! :)
Courage is contagious! We have to cultivate a culture
where an armor is not necessary or rewarded!

Who has earned?
You go to people with your sad story...
Make sure you go to people who have EARNED
the right to hear your story...not with anybody!
Otherwise you WILL feel messed up and violated!
Its what Bible says..
'Its like casting your pearls before a swine!'
Its like offering yourself to people who
do not DESERVE to have that offering!
and later they will come with some
shallow response and you will feel violated!
Hint*
Look for people who are capable of practicing empathy!

Third law of Motion
You have to take responsibility for the space you hold here.
and understand that the third law of motion,
which says for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction,
that is my religion. That is the fundamental construct of religion.

When I talk to you, I have NO desire to 'fit in' to your world!
But I am talking to you so that we can collaborate...
with our skills, ideas...so both the sides evolve......and learn
from one another!

Dear Oprah!
Past 7 years have been a horrific struggle!
You have inspired me to carry on!
I am grateful to you!
Someday I wish you could see the portrait I drew of you!
and hear my story FROM ME!
Because ONLY I have the right to tell MY own story!
Until then Love and Regards!

A closer look into the serendipities!
Other serendipities involve words like
'Lurk', 'Start Off', 'Heart warming' to name a few!
And Oprah yes she is an inspiration to this world! A closer look
to yesterday's illustration!

#serendipity and Oprah!
Oprah and the famous serendipity!
'Not flippant at all!'
Its the
Series of 'by fluke' events!
Huge fan of Oprah but not of the accidents!
I see what you are doing and its NOT okay!

'Name' sake!
"There have been few times, that I have been anywhere and not been 'sold out!'
There have been a few times when you bring in a new person in your life and
have that person in some way betray you or use you or take advantage of you!"
What is so extraordinary about some people is if they care about you they will
confront you! and they will understand you... They will not spread rumors about you!
and will not go to the 'media'! and will not pass flippant remarks just to put you down!
and will not go to the 'media'! and will not pass flippant remarks just to put you down!
wait for such people because they exist! the others who show passive aggression..(for their own benefit') are just for the 'name' sake!
Oprah!
And how men and women really behave!
to say, how we experience shame,
how we love, how we rage, how we fail,
retreat, persevere and HOW WE OVERCOME!
I have interviewed some of the ugliest things
life can throw at you. But the one quality
all of them seem to be sharing, is an ability
to maintain hope, for a brighter morning!
Even during our darkest nights!
And that a new day is on the horizon!
and when that new day finally
dawns, it will be because of lot of magnificent women,
and some pretty phenomenal men fighting hard to make sure
that they become the leaders that take us to the time
when NOBODY ever has to say
'MeToo' again!

What is your 'name'
Every prejudiced moron (man/woman) will be taught a lesson..
who tries to reach down to your pants!
And that will be your 'Name'!
That is your identity!

"A few regrets is a life well lived!" - Oprah Winfrey :)
"A lesson you will have to learn again and again and again!
To see yourself with your own eyes and to love yourself through your own heart!"
- Oprah Winfrey
And I cannot wait for You to see that!
There are so many people like you!
People who doubt themselves.
Who are uncertain about whether they belong...
but have so much to offer to the world!
Share your story with them!
The struggles and the triumphs...
Show them that there is so much
beauty inside than
they can see right now!
Thats how you will answer that question
that sometimes keeps you up at night!
You are more than enough!
You always have been...and you always will be!

More Importantly!
Yet through it all,
you will manage to hold on!
To a belief in God and
more importantly,
God'd belief in you!
That my Dear
will be your single greatest gift!
Knowing that there is a power,
greater than yourself!
And trusting That force to guide you!
"I am pressed to the mark, for the prize of a high calling of God."
(Inspired from -Philippians 3:14)
Knowing that there is a high calling is what will sustain and fulfill you!
Something old on similar lines! A little poem I had illustrated from my all time favorite!
Luisa may Alcott's Little Women!

What you are fighting against!
Make noise.... but
If we don't want to be bullied,
we can't be bullies...
You can not turn into what you are fighting against!
Take note the actions of those who bully you....
Communicate that you have noted it!
respond to it...But YOU do not bully!

Believe in yourself
Its like meditation.....repeat your mantra over and over again until all the noise fades away...
Believe in the goodness...and in yourself!

One lie, one butterfly! :)
So this is the new game.
I am going to draw a butterfly setting itself free,
every time I hear a false claim...
Lets see how many butterflies...have to free themselves from the nasty remarks..

Winter inspires :)
I think these long, cold winters have definitely contributed to my creativity—what else is there to do but sew, draw, make, read and dream when you can't go outside? :)
