About Me

check out more of my picsMy page will constantly be rearranged, well because, I am always changing. I am looking for ways to entertain myself, better myself, analyze myself all the time. And for those who know me, I will never not be goofy, akward, or laughing to myself. I will never not be tinkering in some art, playing with pictures, organizing papers, rearranging furniture, and planning on writng something down. I am a yeller trying to lower my voice and a mother trying to make sure I tell each one of my kids individually, everyday that I love them. I can be obsessed about odd things, really its even things and straight lines, but when I catch myself going overboard I try to stop. I have come to terms that many things I had the potential of doing , I will not. But I have also realized I will always have a chance to help this crazy world. I truely believe I am a natural teacher, and an eager student. And right when I believe I truely understand everything happens for a reason and is the way it should be, I learn it again. For those who have known me in my less positive times, I am as straight as they come now. My rebellion, my love, my peace, my revolution, my redemption have found Islam.

Music:

Its the old soul hits that I love, you know, when the lyrics really meant something, and there's a real band in the background. Of course, I love to listen to Qur'an, arabic in general is the sound of music...

Movies:

There are so many I still want to see....

Television:

Really, TV and I have a love/hate relationship, it's complicated.But I am a bit addicted to reality TV, people can be so interesting to watch. I also like what I call "realistic" TV. It is basically the non-fantasy shows. You know, the hospital/police/lawyer dramas.

Books:

The Nobel Qur'an. And anything that in non-fiction. Stories of rebels, revolution, living, fighting, survival ..... There is so much more truth to learn I can't see wasting time on stories made up.

Heroes:

My mom. Everyday people have extraordinary stories, that is where heroes are found. I see my mother almost everyday, and she still amazes me. InshaAllah, I'll have the same influence on my children.....Save The World - One Click At A Time!
