Love you Nani
Everyone remembers where they were when 9/11 happened and I will always remember the moments of learning about my dearly loved grandmothers death.
It was friday night and I had just gotten home from work. I was bustling around in a good mood since it was Friday and then I checked my phone. My little brother had left me several messages telling me to call him right away...that is how I found out.
I sat in shock for several moments and then the tears came. My nani was a big part of my childhood and the only grandparent I was ever close to. She lived with us for several months and years in Minnesota and I have so many fond memories of her. She was hilarious! Joking and laughing in punjabi about things that were as X-rated as you could imagine and I cannot think of a single person who did not love her instantly when meeting her. She was close to my best friend Pam and even my friends who couldn't speak her language loved her. She had a presence that was larger than she was. She survived many things including losing her daughter a couple of years ago and surviving stomach cancer. We had many long talks together about life and she was there when I needed her most.
She used to call me "thee" which in punjabi means daughter and loved old songs and movies. She was an amazing person..she got married at the age of 13 and went through so many things.
I have a picture in my apartment of the two of us together that I will always cherish. I love you and miss you nani...thank you for all the good times.

Release Your Attachment
It's a constant struggle for me to release that which is something I desire so badly. This article helps me keep my focus.
Think about something you have gotten easily. You were probably somewhat relaxed, and didn’t get upset every time something didn’t go exactly as planned. You stayed in the flow, and knew everything would work out ok. Positive expectation and a relaxed manner will really go a lot farther than obsessing about every little twist and turn your life takes. Life is full of twists and turns, and they often lead to something better, but only if you believe it and stay in the flow.
Someone in my life once said about attachment, “It’s like being attached to a sunset, and getting upset when it is over. Why? It will rise and set again.” Even if you don’t know when something will happen again, if you believe it will and stay relaxed, then it will come back to you. This happens in my garden a lot. In the past I obsessed over getting certain plants to grow and flower, and I was most often unsuccessful. Due to my many gardening failures, I just relaxed. I watered when I thought it needed it and fertilized on occasion, but I stopped obsessing over how many flower buds were on each plant and what else I could do to make my plants flower more prolifically. Of course, once I stopped this, flowers started popping up everywhere! Of course, I didn’t neglect my plants and I made good choices for my zone and the individual plant’s needs, but I just let my plants grow at their own pace. Now they are rewarding me beautifully, and I am most appreciative.
Take time now to think about areas in your life where you are and have been successful. What emotions and attitudes did you have? How can you translate that over to areas where you still haven’t gotten everything you want?
Also remember, everything happens in its own perfect time. If you haven’t yet gotten what you are desiring, acknowledge that you may be sending negative vibrations, and that it may not be the perfect time. Relax, have faith, and go with the flow! Send positive thoughts towards your goals. Keep them pure with positive energy, instead of cluttering up your goals with doubt and negativity. You always want to feel good about what you are wishing for.
My life is flowing along at the perfect pace for me. I relax, go with the flow, and enjoy life! I love the journey and the destination and release attachment to the outcome. I have fun no matter what I'm doing!
