I decided to skip the long queues at the jewelry store this year and spent my afternoon helping my mother set up the entrance for the evening. We shared stories of past festivals while we polished the silver, and I realized that these shared laughs are the true currency of my life. Material things come and go, but the warmth of a home filled with love is the ultimate sign of Goddess Lakshmi’s grace. I hope your day is filled with the kind of richness that money cannot buy.
