Unwrapping: The Gifts of 2018.

... In 2018 ...


May we climb the steps that beckon…
and may they lead us to newer horizons
and give us an opportunity to discover something new.

A post shared by Arti (@artisdiary) on


May we open our eyes
to the joys of a simple life that abounds
And discover in them the ultimate travel gifts -
hidden secrets of happiness and joy

A post shared by Arti (@artisdiary) on


May we allow ourselves to stop,
to hear the sound of the waves
And find the rhythm of our own lives in the ebb and the flow.

A post shared by Arti (@artisdiary) on


May we appreciate the delicate beauty of the flowers
And in that sensitivity,
may we find the very hues of life

A post shared by Arti (@artisdiary) on

May we be present in life’s simple moments,
urging us to relax and stay for a while
even when we are in a hurry and on the move.

May we open our hearts
to the goodness and openness around
and have the courage to face every fear with a loving smile.

May we face the sun right
in the middle of its transformation
And feel the dazzling skies coming alive

A post shared by Arti (@artisdiary) on


May we bask,
in the warmth of our own light
That arms us with trust and faith

A post shared by Arti (@artisdiary) on


So that we continue to explore the wonders of the world 
and satiate our curiosity
By walking in our own truth


A post shared by Arti (@artisdiary) on


In 2018,

May we continually be inspired
to write stories that help us grow
into our own power

A post shared by Arti (@artisdiary) on


That power...
that comes with the joy of authentic experiences,


A post shared by Arti (@artisdiary) on


Stretching our minds
in dimensions, unknown,

A post shared by Arti (@artisdiary) on


And filling our hearts
with the nectar of love and life.
