“Money is the silent applause for a job well done.”I recently heard this beautiful statement from Elia Gourgouris Ph.D., and it immediately struck a chord. When I tried to trace its origin further, I couldn’t pinpoint who originally said it. Yet, its meaning resonates universally, offering a profound way to reframe how we think about Money—not as a source of Stress but as a form of appreciation and acknowledgment for the value we create. (Please chime in if you know who said the quote first).As someone who believes deeply in gratitude, reciprocity, and the natural flow of ener…

“One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say.” Bryant H. McGillEven though my mom and I have a great connection, that doesn’t stop us from having the following types of conversations quite often.Mom: – On your way to my place, will you pickMe: – Pick up apples and walnuts?

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” Ralph Waldo EmersonThe main reason I am this happy in my relationship with my husband is not just because he makes me laugh all the time, or he is a great Travel companion, or he is a compassionate and loving man – and I am not saying all these are not great, they certainly are – but mostly because he gives me room to grow, to express myself through my work, and to fulfill my life purpose. In return, I do the same for him because we value the importance of self-act…

Practicing acceptance can be difficult for many of us. Because it goes against our natural inclination to resist change and hold on to what is familiar. It can be hard to let go of our expectations and desires. Or to accept the reality of a situation, especially if it is painful. We may struggle with anger, disappointment, or sadness as we try to come to terms with what is happening. But despite the challenges, acceptance is a powerful tool that can support us in finding inner strength in the face of adversity.One way to make acceptance easier is to focus on the present moment rather than…

I started my live Meditation session on the Insight Timer platform with excitement and joy today. A few minutes into the session, while still meet and greet were going on, there were already 54 lovely people with me. We were warming up, ready to get to the session topic, when I received the feedback from participants that they ceased to see and hear me on their screen.I did not know what to do. I tried ending the session and restarting it when the situation did not resolve after a few minutes. But I could not do it. I tried logging out and back in many times without success.Old Ipek vs…

It is summer. I am on holiday, enjoying my downtime. I am resting both my tired body and mind, which gives me plenty of time to observe, reflect, and meditate.

A lifelong holiday.”And as the Universe’s response to …

My mom lives in a gated community in Istanbul. When I came down to visit her, I noticed the Security guys working there are very fond of her. I asked why they treated her differently. She said that whenever she bakes anything, as soon as it is out of the oven, she brings some of it to these hardworking and under-compensated people we take for granted.So, whenever she comes home with stuff she needs to carry in the building, they run to help her not because they have to but because they want to.Because it is that easy to make people happy…It is that easy to make them feel seen and…

It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us.Marianne WilliamsonI am a big fan of Marianne Williamson.
