I Will Survive

Talking about something with someone helps. I want to get my life sorted yet there are still many battles to fight and a few more dragons to slay. All my problems will not be solved at once, but at least I can try to reach a point when things are a little more settled.

Moral of the story: choose the right guy to marry. Not one who asks for your money and drags your name through the mud (and does not appreciate anything you have done for him).

For my children:

1- NEVER lend your name to anyone for any loans or favours, not even if this person is your eventual wife/ husband.

2- Plan the number of children you want to have: one is ideal, or the maximum of two. NEVER be persuaded by anyone who says he/ she loves you and wants a big family.

3- A person who loves you will give you freedom and allow you growth, not cage you.

4- (Especially for my girls) Find your own income source, it gives you options.

5- Love yourself first and believe that Allah is just. No matter what happens with your significant other, you have YOU and Allah on your side.

6- Always believe that this life is WONDERFUL and attract good things and people into it.

7- Remember to be thankful all the time for the blessings bestowed upon you.

8- Always see the good in people (even though this may be the hardest thing for us to do).

9- Always be kind.

10- Love Mother Earth. Be alert and engage with the world around you.


What is next? I am taking things a day at a time and letting things flow. I haven't figured out much yet (to say the least) but I have to have a strong stomach & heart & gut to slice through the waves.

Life, here I come. Let's embrace the comings and goings of things, people and events.
