‘’ Champions keep playing until they it right’’ – Billie Jean King

From well-known authors to newbie bloggers osdotme is blessed by an abundance of women writers. These are women of great wisdom and experience from India and around the world. Among us are Monks, authors, poets, professionals, and homemakers. Reading them can recharge our lives and fill us with grit and gratitude. Here at osdotme, we express our views without the fear of getting judged or trolled. We are all Swamiji’s children and this is our playground. I am bringing to you a list of selected blogs posted by these talented women writers of our community in January in my ’Being a woman ‘ and ’Food ‘ sections.

There are numerous posts in poems, a slice of life, Philosophy, books, divinity, anecdotes, fiction, and a lot more. Selecting a few of them is the toughest of tasks as I loved each one of them.

January began with Nikunj’s inspiring guest editorial, with the hashtag #bebettermewithosdotme for a better new year with a vision board for the entire 2023. Many of us joined the ‘be better me ‘project and made our vision boards which are going to help us overcome procrastination and achieve our goals for a better New year. The vision boards are also a great tool in self-help for sticking to the New year resolutions religiously. As I write this, I have already posted four blogs completing the writing goals for Jan, from my vision board.

 Renowned Author and Poet, Sadhvi Vrinda has enriched our lives with many poems in Jan. Her poems are a bridge that connects us to the Divine from our mundane lives. While reading her poems the outside world dims and we see the magic of her inner world nestled in devotion and love at The Badrika Ashram and Temple of Beloved Sri Hari with Giri Ganga flowing in the background. These poems are mystical and embodiment of love.

Hats off to our dearest Merry Monk Sushree Diya Om for penning her life experiences with grit and courage in the series ‘’Confessions Of A Merry Monk     ‘’ in the section ‘being a woman’. 

She is one of the most popular and highly-read bloggers here.  Readers stick to her with love and prayers while she is putting down her painful memories in words.  Her blogs keep us hooked and clueless as to what is going to happen in the next episode. Her story makes me sometimes think why there was no rhyme and reason for the endless suffering of a young woman barely in her twenties. Or, is it staged by something greater in the big scheme of things?  So much more strength you Diya ji. Let it flow.

Here is a pick from Diya ji’s series  this month  ‘Slip Slip Stroke ‘
