If I had to define 2018 in a single sentence, I would say that it was a year of solopreneurship and mindful breaks. My writing found a new direction through my blog and book. And I discovered the beauty of listening to the needs of my mind and soul and nurturing them well through multiple breaks. 2019 is going to be my year of ‘A little more’ since I have consciously refrained from making any new resolutions this year. Instead, I’m going to focus on doing a little more of those things that have become an integral part of my existence – writing, spending time with my family and staying happy by choice.
Happy New Year 2019
I wish you all a very happy and vibrant New Year. May 2019 be the year of bringing out the best in ‘you’.

Happy new year sonia di!! bhison khusi ar bhalo theko.
I think it’s such a beautiful thought, instead of choosing resolutions you’re choosing to be happy by choice. I’m inspired & will try to do the same!
Wishing you a very happy new year 🔆
