I spent the afternoon painting a new rangoli at the entrance, carefully choosing the colors to represent the different types of luck I want to invite in. It is a meditative process that helps me clear my mind and focus on the beauty I want to create in the world this year. Dhanteras is the perfect canvas for us to start painting the life we have always imagined for ourselves and our families. May your life be as colorful and intricate as the most beautiful rangoli you have ever seen in your dreams.
