Post-grad life!

A big hello to all my readers! Thank you for all your posts and encouraging comments so far:)

After graduation, life took a very interesting and unexpected toll- it slowed down, almost to a stop! Relaxation and rest is something I've had very little of for the past few years, so this unexpected 5 month vacation was everything I'd dreamed of, but a bit frustrating! I found myself not sure how to react or how to embrace the essence of my new life... life in Kuwait!

But as my time here culminates, I realize I've learned more spiritually in these 5 months than I have in many years gone by. I've used this time wisely to re-energize myself, while I continued the job search. From learning Raja Yoga to doing the first Kuwaiti Peace Circle, I now view life as a beautiful bud that blossoms when we are ready to accept its beauty. I learned that I was exactly where I needed to be and my faith has grown immensely. Within me and within you, my dear reader lies inner peace, love and happiness. Yet, so often we seek happiness and peace externally. My happiness has often been dependent on my studies, my career or relationships around me. So it was extremely liberating to let that all go... and just be me!!!:) To separate ego and the spirit for the very first time:)

My path to peace took me somewhere unexpected... inside myself. Everything that I seeked was within me, including the change I wanted to see in the world and inner peace!
