Journey of Life, Well Lived With Grace!

Shivi Goyal

Well, writing about your life’s journey is not an easy task. I was overwhelmed when I was asked to document my journey for this magazine. I did not know how and what all shall I quote. When you live a life, you have lots of good and bad experiences, which eventually lead you closer to your path. So, I won’t waste much of your time and leave you here to read about who I am. 

Hi, My Name is Shivi Goyal. I’m an Indian, and I’m coined as – Authorontravel and Spirited Blogger for my books and travelogues that I share on my platforms and my website. Blessed World Record Holder, author of 3 individual books and co-author to 10 anthologies. Happy to be a full-time blogger, writer & author, Solo Traveller, Entrepreneur, Digital and content strategist, ghost-writer, and editor. The quirky side of my profile is being a nature enthusiast, sujok therapist, Life-coach, YouTuber, Humanitarian and artist. An aspect that is close to my personal life is my evolution on the spiritual path. Last but not least, I’m a proud single mom and a human being who keeps challenging societal norms through my articles and poems—an idealist about living life with conviction and kindness.

Start Of A Maverick Life

 

When I got separated seven years back, I was left with nothing mentally and financially. Having a 2.5-year-old daughter on your lap, you keep thinking, how will I feed her and myself, and would you bear the rent and fixed expenses? No, where to go for a long time, then struggled to work, found a job, and got a few freelance gigs. All this was not a continuous and stable. Honest confession - It wasn’t easy to maintain the dignity of being a woman who is just separated, which many humans believe is a sign of something else. However, life has to move on. Battling depression made me more robust about the prevailing attitudes and stereotypes around me. Today I feel proud to be a single mom and an established self-made woman. I desire to take life positively with belief and my meditative lens’s writings. 

 

“It has been both exciting and inspirational progress for me. I’m still learning the unlearn. All thanks to my Godsend, who put my life’s pieces back into a lively and a strong human.”
