Hi Friends,
This week is going to be amazing; a wedding, seeing legends speak, working hard… I am loving it.
It is not going to be an easy week but totally an adventure.
Life has been a school. Life is always a school, but lately it has been a strict school. Sometimes in life, you feel a blindfold falls off of your eyes. Sometimes it leads to disappointment, other times to desperation, other times to gratefulness.
Whatever comes our way, we must remember that our priority is to love people and be a reflection of God’s love and mercy to others. Be someone’s angel. Life is about being there; for family, for friends, for strangers.
Life–> Zindagi. It’s amazing.
1] Join me in the 24-hours with no complaints challenge.
My mother told me she read this amazing experiment a college professor did with his students (from a book called Life’s Greatest Lessons-or something like that).
His experiment:
Step 1: Do not complain for 24-hours
Step 2: Make a list with columns: material things you are grateful for, people you are grateful for, and intangible things for which you are grateful (i.e. Freedom).
Step 3: Read your lists to yourself at lunch, at dinner, before going to bed and before heading out to work or school.
People’s body language even changed!
I think this is pretty cool. I think I could use a good dose of positivity. Want to join the challenge?
Don’t complain, appreciate!
2] Something I am grateful for: Siddhath Malhotra’s face. Just kidding.
Adorable Student of the Year Moment.

Isaiah 26:3, 4
3 You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.
4 Trust in the Lord forever,
For in YAH, the Lord, is everlasting strength.
Dear Castellano family,
I am sure that nothing that is said is comforting to you. May God be with you.
Talia is probably one of the cutest and most talented YouTube Gurus out there. More than that, she was an inspiration to all who saw her smile.
She taught the world that no matter how bad things get, you can keep your head up, keep your dignity and self respect, keep your beauty and keep your smile. She will be so missed. I, personally, as a make-up tutorial junkie, can say that she will be missed as the talented artist that she was. We will no longer get her awesome videos, updates and photos. On the contrary, we remember her as the incredible human being and flame that will live on. As long as some one has placed a footprint on your heart and is remembered that person never dies.
Thanks to Cory for sharing his talent and music with the world. He will be missed. The world needs more people who are willing to sing their hearts out. Incredible talent.
May God be with his family and girlfriend at this time. May they experience comfort and peace.
Cory singing the perfect song, one of my favorite songs.

Tomorrow, New York.
Someday, Monte Carlo.
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Proverbs 31: 30
In the end, we leave this world, not with what we have received, but only with what we have given.
Beauty, oh how it fades and changes through the years. Enjoy each day. This young face will not be eternally there. Soon, it will be marked with miracles, emotion, time and wisdom.
