MUJER. FUERTE. ESPOSA. JOVEN. INTELIGENTE. MADRE. MORENA. DIVINAMENTE. I was raised in East Los Angeles, CA. Soy Diferente!. You don't have to point that out! I love that I'm different and I don't blend in with every other person out there. I learn something new about myself and my character every day. As I've grown older, my tolerance for ignorance, lying, fakeness, and flakiness is low. I love being with my husband, Ahmed and my little Secret Agent Na'im. I never knew that would meet someone who from the moment I met him, knew that I would marry. We have built an unbreakable, unshakable foundation. You think you have your whole life planned out? Allah is the greatest of planners. Some people go their entire lives and never have a love like this. The word LOVE isn't a strong enough word. I enjoy going out, listening to really GOOD music and just being goofy and silly and laughing alot with family and friends, sitting around just talking and sharing stories about life and lessons learned.
For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin--real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.-- Alfred D. Souza
FOR AHMED:
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it (anywhere i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear no fate (for you are my fate,my sweet)
i want no world (for beautiful, you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing, is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
ee cummings
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the Valley of Darkness; for he is truly his brother's keeper, and the finder of lost children. And, I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers! And, you will know my name is The Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee! -Ezekiel 25:17

“…on this pilgrimage, what I have seen, and experienced, has forced me to re-arrange much of my thought-patterns previously held, and to toss aside some of my previous conclusions. …I have always kept an open mind, which is necessary to the flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of intelligent search for truth.â€
— The Autobiography of Malcolm X
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure!
It is our Light, not our darkness, that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us. It's in everyone.
And as we let our own Light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fears,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
-- Marianne Williamson
