Happy Diwali!

Happy Diwali to you, your family and friends. If you're out having fun, remember to stay safe.

This is my fifth Diwali. I'm not altogether certain about what I'm supposed to do because not many people I know celebrate Diwali or are Hindu. However, the joy is in the journey.

However, I'd like to think that in some ways celebrating Diwali is similar to celebrations of the New Year according to the Julian calendar. I remember that I would get to December 31st, contemplate my year in retrospect and hope for better days ahead.

Looking back at this year I've learned a lot about myself and I guess that's par for the course. I had much to learn while overcome with grief after I lost my brother in January of this year.

It seems fitting that Diwali this year the five-day period covers both Halloween and the Day of the Dead. The possibilities for spiritual latitude with respect to the issues of fighting and defeating sin are great.


It's taken quite a while to create this simple blog entry and be confident about what I'm doing. However I owe my newfound confidence to the fact that I read information about social media that comes from some of the most talented and creative minds on the internet. That knowledge will prove to be invaluable in the days and weeks to come.

As time goes by I hope to find more tools, tips and tricks of the trade to aid me as I tell you my stories. Whatever it takes to stay on the path of the consistent and committed, I'm willing to do. So wish me luck.

Until next time, have fun and be safe.
