Ending on a high note
Dear Reader,
The December issue of Life Positive has turned out to be my favourite of 2023. It has a wide variety of articles which discuss various shades of life that are as fascinating as they are intriguing. Navni Chawla has written a comprehensive article on different kinds of love languages and how learning about them can intensify the bond of your most important relationships. I believe love languages are not limited to conjugal relationships alone but also extend to other significant connections such as your parents and siblings. It took me years to realise that my mother’s love language was her being helped by someone in the kitchen. If only I had understood her needs, I would have given her many stress-free and happy days while growing up.
We also have a thought-provoking article on creativity called Red Bushes, Blue Roses. Written by Harvinder Kaur, it highlights the fact that for the creative juices to flow unhindered, courage is required to go off the beaten path, experiment, and be ready to fail. It is not for those who want to play safe. Furthermore, it is a supremely meditative activity as, eventually, you become a channel of the Divine, letting Him unleash His most magnificent and maverick side through you.
Little Butterfly Takes Wing is a heartwarming tale of a daughter’s struggle with maths and her father’s fight with his inner demons as he tries hard to inculcate in her a love for this much-dreaded subject. Read on to go on a roller-coaster ride of emotion, drama, and all things in between.
The issue also carries articles on animal therapy, diseases and their emotional causes, as well as an eye-opening story on the power of Ho’oponopono. No better way to conclude 2023 than to absorb the contents of the December issue and start the new year on an upbeat note.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
