Before I continue with the next wave of posts, I had to pause.
This is a long-pending feeling of gratitude—something I’ve carried quietly in my heart. I knew I needed to halt, take a deep breath, and pay this tribute to everyone who has been part of my healing, near and far.
In the quiet moments of this journey, I often find myself held together by something much deeper than routines or treatments—it’s love. Not just the love that’s around me here in the U.S., but the love that stretches across time zones and phone lines, finding its way to me from far away.

This post is especially for my Family in India, who’ve become my virtual caregivers in the truest sense.
My dad, with his quiet strength and steady faith, is always looking for ways to ease my path—even from afar. His daily prayers and calm determination feel like a shield I carry with me wherever I go.
My mom, the emotional heartbeat of our family, never misses her 4 a.m. Brahmakumari sakas. माँ की दुआएँ दूरी नहीं देखतीं। Her love is quiet but powerful—full of intuition, urgency, and a warmth that reaches me no matter where I am.
And then there are my siblings—each so different, yet both so constant, even from thousands of miles apart. They show up like a quiet force across time zones and screens—sometimes with a joke to lift the weight, sometimes just with a message that says, I’m here. No matter the distance, their love wraps around me like a soft, steady shield.
I’m also endlessly grateful for the wider circle of people who lift me up—in-laws, friends, chosen family, and distant well-wishers. Some check in with a quiet text, others hold space in prayer, and a few just show up with gentle presence and perfect timing. Each of them, in their own way, reminds me that I’m held by more love than I sometimes realize.
They all remind me—I am not alone.
I dream of the day I can hug them again and thank them not just with words, but with the presence they’ve been gifting me all along.
Until then, they remain the calm to my chaos, the core of my strength, and the coziest layer wrapped around my healing.
Do you have someone who supports you from afar? A voice, a prayer, or a message that lifts you up on tough days?
Feel free to share in the comments—or just send them a silent thank-you. Sometimes, that’s all it takes.
💌 Coming up next:
Small rituals that bring me comfort on low-energy days—tiny practices that make a big difference.
Until then, take it slow. Breathe. Be kind to yourself!
