I bought a small clay piggy bank today alongside the traditional silver coin just to remind myself of the value of patience. Watching the city light up for Dhanteras makes me feel like anything is possible if we just keep moving forward with a clean heart. We often get caught up in the value of our possessions, but today I am focusing on the value of my peace. May your home be a sanctuary of health and your mind a garden of wealthy thoughts.
