I’m sure you have tasted Toblerone chocolate bar, a triangular shaped chocolate in varieties of center fillings. If not, then you must have seen it on the shelves in your local store. I love Toblerone very much and it is one of my favorite.

But before today, I didn’t knew that the very logo on a Toblerone chocolate bar packet is a real mountain in Swiss Alps, Switzerland.

With many thanks to Erika, I saw the gorgeous Matterhorn mountain, which is the inspiration behind Toblerone chocolate bar. Erika recently made a trip to that picturesque town and has shared tons of scenic captures from there.

Head over to Erika’s blog for an amazing trip 🙂

Post I Like – Transforming #healing

We all need a break!

From all of that which is making us running around in circles.

Though there might be some meaning to it, in one way or another, but if you at it in a longer run, there’s nothing but tiredness and fatigue.

Which makes us long for something afresh, completely new.

Or may be something old, which we hadn’t touched in a long time.

To ensure mind and soul’s integrity, for our own betterment.

Kate has penned a lovely piece about personal transformation, which certainly clicked my heart in an instant.

Do read it out!

aroused

when life becomes a challenge
that seems a bit too much
take a deep breath
get out of my head
find healthier distractions

reconfigure the furniture
add some brighter personal touches
get back to that list of favourites
music, movies, books or friends
phone one or two, get another’s view

try to exercise some more
learn new hobbies galore
reach out to those I adore
try to help another I implore
for all these can trigger endorphins

to lift me up from the dregs
they can turn that downward spiral
into constructive creativity instead
paint read listen clean or compose
find a cathartic endeavour to uplift

life is far too short
to allow myself to be caught
in a negative frame of mind
for an unhealthy length of time
I can rise above this slime!

no point saying ‘I’m too tired’
turning this around is desired
and a little effort…

How much we can carry onto ourselves?

Not just the physical load but also the weight we add over on our mind, heart and soul. Some of that may be useful for us but most of it is nothing but garbage.

Which is certainly not what we should drag along on the path of life.

Erika Kind is talking about How To Let Go of the things that hurdles into our path.
