Write Your Own Story.
A postcard from my newly adopted daughter, Japinder Kaur , said?
When Writing The Story of Your Life,?
Dont let Anyone else Hold the Pen
Her note made me smile even more. This postcard I will save forever. Any mother would be thrilled to read what she wrote. It has been less than a year since I met her. She is a smart, educated woman and has checked my Linkedin profile and is thus familiar with my regular videos and posts.
I have a golden rule that I adopt any and everyone. Once you cross my path, you will be treated like my extended family and friend.
Sharing with you her precious words. She calls me “ Ginny Mom.” It is an absolute honor to be in that position.
Dearest Ginny Mom,
The quote on this card screamed your name.?
Your strong spirit, thoughtful advice, and warm wishes are a strong pillar of strength and support for me.
I am forever grateful to have you in my life, to learn from you, and most importantly - for being blessed with you as another mom!?
Lots of love,
Japinder
Friends, unfortunately, most of us lead our lives worried about what others will think of us. This shows how we dress, eat, say, and write. We lead our lives wearing a Mask that hides our true selves from the World.
Self-reflection and having a regular dialogue with oneself are the hardest.??At the end of the day, you cannot lie to the person you see in the mirror.

As an empathetic and caring person, I care for everyone I encounter. The reality is that it takes much courage to have the ability to be truthful with others. Even when conversing with our close ones, we do not want to hurt their feelings.
?As a perpetual optimist, the glass is always full for me. I see the goodness in everyone. It is thus easy for me to compliment others. My goal in life is to put a smile on everyone I meet.??
Receiving compliments from others does make my day and makes me smile a lot more. My dialogue with myself often is. “ Ginny, it is great what others think about you, but most important is What you think about Yourself.”
Almost daily, I have a dialogue with myself. Invariably, my question is, “ Ginny did you earn your Oxygen today?” You may think it strange, but I live one breath at a time. Every breath I take is thus holding VALUE.
We all are Unique as we have our own experiences, thoughts, and expression abilities. We all have an important story. My nudge to you is to let your story come alive. Take consistent steps to know yourself and thus express yourself. Surround yourself with people who will help you discover yourself.
?Constant learning and evolving is an endeavor that is key to my being. I acknowledge our Uniqueness and try to see if I can enhance your life.
Here are a few of my fundamentals:
I am in the process of publishing my book. The pen writing this one is held firmly by me. My question to you is
I would love to be your committed, jolly friend for life.
