    The Sun Will Shine Through

    The Sun Will Shine Through

    Today, the island we’re on is completely covered in fog. School drop-off was not an easy feat this morning. As I’m typing this, the fog is lifting. The sun is breaking through. I can vaguely see the streets below and the buildings around. This got me thinking to last year when my mind was still…

    A Safer Home

    I was driving through the island over the weekend and noticed flags of the UAE along the sides of certain roads. It got me disoriented for a few seconds trying to figure out which country I was in. On asking around I realized that the flags were up for the upcoming occasion of the UAE…

    A Bag of Buns

    This what I hit my daughter with…yes, you read right, I whacked her with a bag of buns! Here’s how it happened. I was finishing up with packing lunches this morning and was in the process of putting away the bread. I had tied up the bag when I remembered something and called out to…

    Being in the middle

    This is a dedication to my middle child, on the occasion of her birthday this last week. She has officially completed four years, and I’ve been thinking back to when we started this journey that is her. I was advised that I should be happy with the one – I shouldn’t try to reach for…

    Inner Voice

    Sometimes outside noises are so loud, I find it hard to hear my own voice through it. I’ve been told and I’ve come to understand that when I listen to someone beyond my capacity, my voice is replaced by theirs. Once I allow that to happen, every time I need to make a decision or…

    No Title Today

    Any title I can come up with for today’s post and the feeling that goes with it will be insufficient and so I have chosen to go with this. There is so much hate and anger in the world right now. And the worst of it is what’s all over social media currently. Me, like…

    Achieving Balance

    A search for balance – this is what my life has always been about. At the end of this period of “the scales”, I would like to write about this need for balance that has constantly pushed me a certain way. When on task, I’ve always given it my all or I’ve given it nothing…

    Be The Reason

    You know when they say, when you laugh the whole world laughs with you but when you cry, you cry alone? I hate it when these sayings kinda manifest in my life and I experience it first-hand. Especially the unhappy ones. The world is a hard place. The thing that I struggle with most is…

    The Infinite Process of Learning

    It always catches me by surprise when I learn something new on any given day. When I was a teenager, I thought I knew it all and yet… Every time I open my mouth or open a chat box, I fear the stupidity that may leak out. I’m worried of sounding clueless or lost on…

    From Weakness to Strength

    I’ve had a weird couple of weeks, which doesn’t get old because most of my weeks are weird. There’s a lot going on upstairs – in the mushy room. Two weeks ago, I’d mentioned understanding & acknowledging my weaknesses in order to be able to love myself completely. Today, I’ve been thinking about them a…
