Bismillah “DO NOT LOOK AWAY” Those where the haunting words every time I saw this activist (who’s now banned from Instagram) posted something on his IG. Because I know just how flinchingly horrific it will be. And the video below sums up why: Because we can shut our eyes from the gory scenes –they can’t. […]
Bismillah It has been a while. And I honestly missed writing. What has changed since I last wrote? Well, I have a baby to care now. (Baby has come out to see the World!) Was pregnant in the last post, and now baby is 6 months old. How time flies! And how much motherhood has […]

Bismillah He will break you to stop you from trudging that path that He sees will destroy you – and will mend you by rerouting you to a path you’d never imagine you’ll undertake. It only hurts because you kept looking at the old path. It only hurts because you couldn’t see where the current […]
Bismillah I pray may you be a little bit stronger, Today, tomorrow and what the days ahead have to offer, Life is long, in our eyes that understand little of the future held, But trust me, it is short enough in the Eyes of the One who doesn’t want us to fail it… One morning […]
