About Me

Born and raised in a small city in Northern Lebanon, I spent most of my life feeling that I didn't belong. There must be something bigger for me out there! I thought. When I turned 26, I came across a book that changed my life. It was about the quest to fulfill your destiny. Follow your heart, and "if you have a dream, the whole universe conspires to make it happen". So, off I went to the states. I lived in San Francisco and its suburbs for 9 years. I worked hard, I built, made amazing friendships, and thought I found the deepest, truest love of all. I felt complete. At that time, I thought I had realized my dream and reached my destination. A year later, it all collapsed and came crashing over my head. I lost it all, ALL, in what felt like the blink of an eye. My heart was shredded into pieces (to say the least). I left everything and came back to my little town, but I didn't come empty-handed. I LEARNED.... I learned that there is no destination, it is all about the journey and what you make out of it. I learned not to judge, cause I don't know better. I learned that everybody, whether they're 'labeled' good, bad, or ugly, has something to offer that would make me a better person. I learned to invest my energy where it counts. I met beautiful souls and I looked EVIl in the eye. I lived happiness beyond my wildest dreams and saw horrors beyond my wildest nightmares. I learned to appreciate the gift of life and to develop deep-seated gratitude. I learned that no matter how big my loss is, to just be grateful for what I have cause I can always lose more. I learned that it's OK to turn my back on something as long as I come back to face it when the time is right. I learned that strength comes from who we are not what we have. I learned that the root of fear is lack of faith. I learned that opening up my heart puts me at greater risk of being hurt, BUT it's better than living with a closed heart. I learned that the most valuable friendship I can have is with my own self. I learned that what goes around, doesn't necessarily come around in due time, but IT'S ALL GOOD AS LONG AS MY CONSCIENCE IS CLEAR!..

I had this recent experience at an event. I had encountered so many people and so many faces that didn't mean much to me. All of a sudden, everybody seemed faceless. The only faces I saw were those st...

Tears!

A washing of the heart and soul...... Ever contemplated the value of tears?! Like everything else, we tend to appreciate it when it becomes scarce. Sometimes we fight our tears on purpose, we are...
