Today’s quote comes to us from the American media mogul, television host, actress, producer, and philanthropist, Oprah Winfrey. In this quote, Oprah tells us that each of us has a unique passion, talent, or calling that inspires us and gives our life purpose. Discovering and nurturing this inner “light” is the key to making a positive impact on the world. The quote encourages us to search for what truly excites and motivates us. It suggests that finding and nurturing this inner “light” is not only essential for personal fulfilment but is also the foundation for making a meaningful contribution to the world. The quote implies that by following one’s passion and making a positive impact, we can inspire and influence others, contributing to a better and brighter world. Today’s quote is a motivational reminder that each of us possesses the potential to create a positive change in the world by pursuing what genuinely inspires and drives us. It emphasises the importance of personal passion and purpose in making a difference and leaving a lasting impact on society.

And BB came back from his confinement week just in time to celebrate the festival of lights with us. We were thrilled to see him, because even video calls daily are not the same as having him in the house. Later in the evening today, we will go and visit his grandmother and grandaunt, who also can’t wait to see him again. He will go back to camp tomorrow and because of the public holiday tomorrow, we get an extra day with him. But now the wait will only be for a week each time, so I guess it won’t be so bad!

That’s all from my side today! And now off I go to celebrate Diwali with my family! From my family to yours, here’s wishing you a very Happy Diwali or Deepavali and may the festival bring you and your loved ones only joy, happiness and prosperity!
