Meet Ruby
Hi! My name is Ruby and I am the Founder of Let’s Share, Learn, & Evolve.
Thanks for visiting my page.
One of the hardest things I find is to write about myself
Well, I am a single mom of 2 lovely college going kids, Shivani & Manav.
Professionally I am a business woman, but qualification wise a Lawyer/Attorney I finished my Law in India, got married & migrated to US in 1994. My official/formal name is, Vanita Walia, but I love to be called Ruby
Born & brought up in a small city, Kapurthala, in North India & I am the youngest in the family. My parents are from middle class family. Dad was a central govt. employee & mom a homemaker. Both were very committed to the family.
I am also the Founder of a Non-Profit Organization called “Touch A Soul”, founded in May 2017. The vision & mission of this organization is to serve underprivileged school children by sponsoring their school meals, donate backpacks and supplies to nurture their growth towards a healthy and empowered future. No kid should be deprived of their basic needs, which is “Food”. I feel & believe “Serving & Humanity” are my religion, and I am here to Serve, either its through my work, Charity, or Experiences.
Life showed me many colors from a very young age. Some colors were pretty some not. I had no option, but to accept them. At that age I never grasp life deeply (who does it anyways). But where I am now, all those colors made so much sense & taught me how to accept everything gracefully, with gratitude, & evolve. Another thing I learnt was how to surrender completely. When life throws odds at you, don’t try to dodge it, surrender & let it do what it has planned for you. Try to aim at the bigger picture. I know for sure, “Life doesn’t happen to us, it happens for us.” I learnt it the hard way, but better late than never To me, as Gary Zukav said in his book, “The Heart of the Soul” : “Earth is a school, we are students, people are our teachers, & everything that happens is to help you learn.” I learn something new about myself everyday, we all do. Don’t try to be perfect. Mistakes are proof that you are trying.
Writing is so therapeutic & healing to me. It has given an expression to my feelings. I hope the stories I/we share can create a ripple effect, inspire, & heal many as it does to me.
Things I enjoy the most : Reading, Writing (It takes me to a different world, where I get lost yet still feel so connected & learn a lot) Yoga, Meditation, I am a Nature lover. It’s my source of motivation. Long drives, Spending time with myself
My Mantras or Chants : (There are many more, but those two I live by & truly believe in
“Believe in Yourself.”
“You are stronger than you think.”
