Santa are you still watching? It’s that loophole week- A sacred pause or a naughty anything-goes interruption to regular programming. Mom and Dad are just sort of swaying between both, while the off spring run wild. Nothing more profound to say or see. Just feeling into our feelings and following our stomachs and hearts. Look away Santa. Look away @suhan.khnofficial! The sleigh is parked and I’m eating all the Xmas cake. MUH @jaynadesaimakeupandhair

At the threshold of a New Year, I’m not making resolutions or an annual round up Just offering celebratory, energising, exorcising and motivating thoughts for 2025. I found an old note on my writing journal (yes- 2025 will see me back at my writing desk) Whenever you feel lost, think of it as preparation What are you preparing for? And I’m sharing a nourishing journaling tradition from @suleikajaouad @theisolationjournals that I’m starting and adopting as my own ❤️ In place of resolutions, journal your way into the New Year with five lists. What in the last year are you proud of? What did this year leave you yearning for? What’s causing you anxiety? What resources, skills, and practices can you rely on in the coming year? What are your wildest, most harebrained ideas and dreams? #2025 #HNY #richinwhatmatters

I hope this post might offer hope or a light form of guidance. Every cancer journey is utterly unique and must be patient centric which means as individual as a finger print. I’m sharing a few of my learnings more as a prompt to help guide your cancer story, and how it will be written. Here’s the thing. Preventative measures are always better. Begin your healing and health journey BEFORE a diagnosis. Love, Lisa PS none of this information is meant to be a substitute for consulting medical professionals PPS you are loved Pictured : Dal lake from a trip to Kashmir

Yes, it’s a black dress for New Year’s Eve—but not just any black dress. This Embroidered Polo Dress by @dhruvkapoor, now available at @thaconceptstore, is the perfect blend of comfort and chic. Dress it up with statement boots like @lisaraniray, or keep it low-key with flats for a night of lounging, as @stylesuj has. Either way, this dress speaks to us—it’s versatile, fashionable, and effortlessly stylish. What makes it even more special? It’s by a South Asian label making waves globally, now retailing right here in Dubai at #thaconceptstore. What are you wearing this New Year’s Eve?

After an abundance of presents and blessings this festive season, we decided as a family it was important to share our good fortune and give back. I connected with @satisfied_souls22 run by @asmitaa.c a registered NGO in Dubai that has supported Dubai’s workforce by serving meals, essentials and offering support to the more vulnerable members in society for the last three years. We sponsored a hearty lunch for construction workers that took the shape of a small New Year’s celebration. Serving – doing Seva- was an essential part of the experience. With my girls growing up surrounded by privilege and wealth in Dubai, I have to be resourceful on how to teach them gratitude and to make them not only aware of their advantages but develop that altruistic muscle. (Basically I’ll do everything to prevent them from becoming entitled brats) I’m so happy to come across Asmita and her mission and as a family we pledge to volunteer with @satisfied_souls22 as often as possible. Reach out to them. It’s a really soul satisfying way to celebrate a birthday, commemorate a special occasion and teach the next gen the importance of humility and giving 🙏❤️ Oh those moments of pure goodness. How much I need them today- how little I thought of them when I was young. Now when I feel unconditional love or inspiration or grace galloping across the sky I reach out and pull it by the tail to catch even a few sparks, to light the way forward.

Rounding out 2024 by sharing two of my profound loves: writing and travel. After years of literally living out of airport lounges, I had become complacent and perhaps a bit jaded about visiting new regions- until Zanzibar. The Spice island is redolent of mystery and history – twin loves of mine- and it’s a relatively under-the-radar destination. So this last March break we packed up the children (not IN the suitcases of course) and I enjoyed our experience @theresidencezanzibar so much I wrote about it for @globalspaindia My advise: GO. Before Zanzi goes the way of Goa. Here’s an excerpt: ‘Mama- we are walking on water’ my girls trilled during low tide, when their little footprints filled with water on our daily beach stroll back from the kid’s club to the villa. In the late morning, the ocean would roll its massive expanse so far back, we could have walked out to the reef line, but chose instead to play in the sand. If you gravitate- like I do- to places that represent a crossroads of cultures and regions of environmental integrity- Zanzi is for you. The last night at the resort happened to be our wedding anniversary. An idyllic beachside dinner was planned, a table for two set up in a ring of rose petals. My daughters were well fed at the buffet, and with our nanny (who was graciously accommodated at the resort, a big plus for family travellers) when we sat down with our first glass of bubbly to enjoy our adult time. Just before the first course was set down, giggles floated from behind the swings. Jambo, jambo- hakuna matata sang out my girls in chorus. What would you do? Hakuna Matata. No worries! My husband and I repeated to each other with knowing grins while two more places were set for Sufi and Soleil to celebrate at this beautiful table by the sea. @theresidencezanzibar @globalspaindia
