Welcome to another edition of #3ThingsThursday, hosted by Pink Chai Living, The Write Balance and Love Laugh Mirch – where bloggers share 3 things that are relevant in their worlds during a particular week. I invite you to visit the hosts plus all the bloggers who have linked up!
This week, I want to share with you 3 articles I have written for outside publications that you may not know are out there unless you caught them on Facebook or Twitter.
If you enjoy Let ME Out!! then you would appreciate these pieces:
1. Being Still: It’s Not What You May Think was written for a great community called Conscious Divas, founded by Kate Muker and made amazing by the thousands of women (and men!) who align themselves with this group. I wrote this when my baby was just a couple months old, when I was forced to ‘be still’ as I have previously experienced in the past with the other two babies. But this time around, I had a whole new perspective and I think it would serve you, too.
2. 5 Ways To Get Your Kids Talking About Authenticity was published on ChatterBlock, an online parent resource that has information you need to enjoy parenting in your particular city. This is the second in a 3 part series (a link to the first article is within this post). I really think the best thing we can give our children is permission to be themselves. But how do we do that? How do we get the conversation going in our families? And importantly, why should we be encouraging our kids to be authentic? It’s all here. The third part should be out next week!
3. Charity And Business: An Unlikely Pair Or A Perfect Match? was a fun piece to write for my favourite jewelry line! Not only does Brooke design beautiful things to dress you up, she is also a socially conscious entrepreneur and contributes to the relationship between charity and business. I happen to be in love with this relationship as both an entrepreneur and social change ambassador. I have a whole new take on the ‘us’ and ‘them’ paradigm we used to subscribe to. I’d love to know what you think of it.
Thanks for reading and I hope you get a chance to peruse the other blogs!
Great articles Taslim, thanks for sharing. I hadn’t heard about FOMO and JOMO but after reading about it, I can totally relate. And I’m definitely going to share the authenticity article, such great ideas! Happy to have you linking up to #3thingsthursday again this week.
Thank you so much for reading them, Salma! I appreciate you sharing the authenticity article – I think you will enjoy the third part which was just submitted for review and hopefully will come out in a few days. I’ll let you know! #3ThingsThursday is fun because it forces me to be aware of the little things that make up my world!
Hi Taslim, really enjoyed this post! It’s great to hear other people’s experiences with spirituality and how to live your best life. #2 aligns to Dr. Shefali Tsabary’s The Conscious Parent: Transforming Ourselves, Empowering Our Children – thank you for sharing your perspective!
Hi Kamana! Thanks for reading 🙂 You are the second person to tell me about Dr. Shefali in the last few weeks. I’ll have to check out her book!
I always enjoy your writing Taslim, but the series about authenticity in kids is one my favourites! It’s such a good resource for parents, thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Raj! That series is definitely hitting home for a lot of people – I appreciate you letting me know you enjoyed it 🙂 Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Thanks for sharing more of your writing to be found elsewhere. I hadn’t heard of JOMO before, so thanks for introducing me to the concept.
Hi Tazim – thanks for reading! JOMO is such an amazing concept. It’s so simple, but it’s not always an easy thing to embrace. I appreciate you stopping by 🙂
That first article is EXACTLY what I needed to read today. It was so on point. I think we all need to own our thoughts and our own stillness. It’s 100% up to US!
Hi Parita – I’m so glad you found something that spoke to you! It IS 100% up to us! Doesn’t always make it easy, but once we accept that we ‘own’ it, we have a much different relationship with stillness. Thanks for your thoughtful comment 🙂
