We often say that people live on auto-pilot. They wake up and get ready for work. They drive to the office and come back home. This is a predictable rhythm that repeats itself day after day. The routine might be slightly interrupted by weekends, holidays, or vacations. However, even those breaks can start to look the same. Some people travel to the same country, at the same time, to the same hotel, year after year. It’s as their spontaneity is also scheduled.

Finding Guidance in Everyday Moments
This morning, I woke up to colour — not from outside, but from within.
Before even opening my eyes, I saw yellow energy moving — warm, alive, pulsing like sunlight behind my eyelids. A few moments later, the purple light appeared, soft and expansive, as if something greater was gently wrapping around me.

I Woke Up a Different Person
Today I woke up like a different person.
At first, I wasn’t in the right mood — heavy, hesitant, unsure if I even wanted to go to the gym. But I went. I worked out but I did something totally different this time — Callanetics. Quite a shift from the old version of me who used to lift heavy weights and chase strength in a different way.

Maybe It’s Time to Pray for Love
Last night, I had a dream that didn’t feel like a dream. It felt like instruction.
A quiet voice — steady, certain — said to me:
Pray for love.

Overcoming Fear: Finding Your Voice Within
Have you ever noticed how hard it can be to simply say what you truly feel — to tell the truth about what you want, what you need, or even what you dream of?
We speak easily about the weather, work, or weekend plans. But when it comes to saying, “This is what I really want,” suddenly a lump forms in the throat, a tightening in the chest, and a silent war begins inside.
I felt that war recently — the frustration of knowing what I want to say yet staying quiet. The anger that rises not at others, but at myself, for betraying my own truth.
And then I realized: this silence isn’t new. It’s inherited.

Reversing Aging: Small Changes for Big Impact
I woke up one morning with my body feeling stiff and achy — the kind of discomfort that almost scared me. We’d had friends over on Saturday night; there was wine, of course, and even though I’m not a dessert lover, I gave in. Right after I felt sluggish and bloated. It made me realize how easily our bodies get overwhelmed by excess — especially later in life, when they can’t buffer indulgence the way they used to.

Science vs. Spirituality: Demystifying ‘Woo-Woo’
The first time I heard the word “woo-woo,” I didn’t really understand what it meant.
Maybe it was the tone, or the context, but something about it immediately bothered me.
It sounded like a word people use when they want to sound clever while quietly dismissing something they don’t understand — or don’t dare to feel.

When Effort Becomes Love: Lessons from Victoria Beckham and My Father
Last night, I watched a documentary about Victoria Beckham, and something she said touched me deeply.
As a young girl in a dance school, Victoria was once placed in the back row because she was a little overweight. Her mother wanted to bring her home and nurture her, but her father told her, “Stay there, deal with it, and keep going. We’ll talk at home.”
Her husband, David Beckham, later said that this moment “set her for life.”
That unwavering push — that demand to stay the course — became the foundation of her discipline, resilience, and success.

Letter to My Brother
Dear Brother,
I don’t know how to begin, because there’s so much in my heart—so many things I wish I could still say to you.
I still remember my visit last year—sitting together on local patios, lost in deep conversations, sharing memories and secrets, and wandering the streets of the Old City until midnight.
