I don’t think we take enough time to thank God.
Yes, I said it—God. Not the most popular subject in every room but guess what? This is my liberated territory, and I get to talk about whatever lights up my soul.
🌞 This Morning, I Felt Loved by Him
It started with a memory— A five Michelin star Japanese fish soup I had the night before. Yes, that soup. Not everyone gets it right. But this one? It was divine. Crafted by angels, seasoned by ancestors.
Then I looked around.
- Electricity
- A tablet
- Three phones
- Two laptops—one of them a Mac
No, I’m not bragging. I’m paying attention to my blessings.
☕ The Little Luxuries That Aren’t So Little
- Clean water
- A perfect cup of Boncafé Mocca Freeze-Dried Instant Gourmet Coffee (you MUST try it)
- Limbs that move
- A mind that dreams
- A soul that remembers
📺 Grateful for Perspective Too
I tuned into my favorite YouTube channels—The Amazing Lucas, The Kim Iversen Show— And of course, the usual man was out there again… Picking fights “on behalf of all of us.” Were you consulted? Nope. Same here.
Once again, he’s decided someone needs to die—for peace, of course. He promises (like last time) it’ll be just one person.
And then, somehow… lions will become vegetarians.
But I digress.
🙏 Back to Gratitude
I could see that madness.
I could hear it.
I could discern it.
What a blessing.
Then came Chapter Two of Think and Grow Rich—Desire.
A hot shower. Choosing today’s outfit from a wardrobe that gives me options.
Verifying what I need. Walking to the train station.
Thank you, God, for my legs.
Thank you for my lungs.
Thank you for my freedom.
🚉 Blessings in Motion
On the train, I read one of my favourite Substack newsletters—Sincerely Vivy by Vivy Yusof. A Malaysian entrepreneur with a story and a light I admire. What a blessing to be able to read and read stories from across the world in real-time.
And then it hit me:I am deeply loved by God. Again. Today.
🏡 Dreams Becoming Bricks and Keys
I remembered my goals. I visualized our family real estate business, now with seven properties— A dream that once lived only in my imagination is now alive in contracts and tiles and land.
What a blessing to have a mind busy with building, not breaking.
✨ The Truth Is…
If your biggest concern is what to eat while standing in front of a buffet…
If you’re stressed about what to wear while standing in a walk-in closet…
If you’re wondering when your caramel macchiato will arrive while sitting in a cozy café…
If you’re sketching out vacation home plans while standing in your penthouse… Then sweetheart, you are already held by divine love
💗 Today, I Just Want to Bask in It
To sit in the warmth of being so deeply cared for by something far greater than me.
And before I leave you, I want to share the song that’s been floating through my soul all day:
🎵 “Who Said It Would Be Easy” – GSHARP
(Go listen. Let it hold you.)
💬 Final Words
Here I am feeling so blessed to share stories bubbling inside me, to be gifted with the art of putting words into paper and just hit publish. What an amazing time to be alive.
Today, I feel loved. And what a blessing it is—to know it, feel it, and say it out loud.

Just me thinking out loud over here
