Keep 'creating'!

For almost all of us every morning dawns with a thought: Will I be happy today?
What happens if we consciously tweak that thought a little bit? Change the question: What am I going to do today to make myself happy?

One way which I have discovered that keeps me happy is 'to create'. Be it creating a nice dish to eat, creating a piece of art for my daughter or creating a piece of writing straight from my heart. I did one of this recently and I have been having exciting moments since then. I would like to register these moments on my blog through this post.
I recently wrote an article for Women's Web online magazine about 5 reasons why employers should hire mothers. I published the same post on LinkedIn with a backlink to the original article. I have been receiving a great response for this article..Right from 1100+ views, 13 shares, 22 comments, this has been an extraordinary achievement to me personally. I won't compare myself to anybody else. This came straight from my heart and I am so happy with the ripples it is creating. I have had someone from as far as China viewing and commenting on the article. This is a great motivation to me and I will continue to write more, tell more stories that people will love to read. 

If you would like to read the article on Women's Web, here it is:http://www.womensweb.in/2016/03/hire-mothers-after-a-career-break/

I look ahead to learn more about the online world and also write more to represent the mothers of the world. If you would like to support/join/discuss/give feedback and ideas, write to me: haripriyaleo@gmail.com

With much love,

13 self-written quotes that help me #BeAlive

Image
I have become a huge fan of motivational quotes in the recent past. I even opened up this page on Facebook called 'My Everyday Tonic' because a lot of people liked the quotes I shared on my personal profile.   For a while, the quotes were kind of my emotional outlet. Gradually from expressive quotes I moved on to endorse purely positive quotes and share them. As I kept reading a lot of such phrases and quotes, I could actually churn my own quotes to boost my spirits up. Writing them gave me a liberating feeling and reading them, I believe, helps a lot of my friends emotionally.  Here are 13 quotes I wrote myself, that moved my life from an empty space to a #BeAlive phase. These quotes literally help me stay alive. I need to keep reading them time and again to remind myself of the purpose of life. I hope it will help you too as you read through. Feel free to share them in your circles, and don't forget to use the hashtag #BeAlive Keep running especially

When does she stop dreaming?

Image
I have a friend who calls me once in a fortnight to talk about her toxic relationship that is keeping peace away from her life almost all the time. Another friend texts me often about how she is sure of what she wants to do in life but doesn't have the financial security to pursue what she wants to become. This girl, whom I acquainted with in the recent past, is not too open about what her aim in life is. I don't see her talking about her dreams. She is happy and content with pushing each day of life as it goes. I know someone who dreams a lot everyday, has aspirations, is really capable of achieving them and yet tries to find a reason to compromise on all of them. This friend keeps talking to me about how she gave up a valuable career to move into a different city with her husband and is now baby-sitting her child without any career plans. Do I have only negative, complaining and sacrificing women in my life as friends? No. These are all capable women. Their heart

What can I (and we) do before another Nirbhaya or Swathi?

http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/female-infosys-employee-hacked-to-death-in-chennai-2874289/ This news has been haunting me since I read about it on Friday afternoon. Yes, Swathi's soul must rest in peace but what we must not put to rest is our efforts towards improving safety for not just women but generally for everyone around us. I am a parent too. I have been deeply disturbed like anyone else. I can't imagine her parents' and family's distress. Nobody deserves such an end and this being that of a soul so young and brimming with dreams for the future, is deeply disturbing. Still, we all know that this is one of the few cases that is out in the public, Everyday, behind closed doors, there are numerous crimes happening that don't get highlighted in the media. A society without crimes is purely utopia. But, we can help in controlling/preventing a lot from happening. I have been thinking continuously as to how I can be a part of the sy
