"I’ve made it another year to be able to experience this world and breathe for 33 years. Sacred gift of life ❤️"

Thought 1: "let me pray Fajr first".

Alright, I’m back :)

And that’s kind of an amazing, fulfilling and abundant gift I have going into my new phase.

I feel like my heart cracked, and with that the light of Allah filled its space.

And it’s held me and supported me and comforted me.

It makes me feel steadfast.

I’ve never so diligently and organically felt and fell into my 5 daily prayers, with Solatul Hajat, Terraweh and reading and feeling the Quran.

It feels like it’s meant to be at this point, I don’t know why but this was my time. 32 going on 33.

I felt calm and at peace; I did cry but I was able to hold the space of myself alone.

And I imagine that’s pretty hard to do.

I woke up to a message from Mohamed.

I love and loved him.

I don’t know what’s in store for us. If ever. But the message felt like the right course of action.

In that, it’s not the time for us. I prayed for Allah to protect and guide me, and this feels like the right thing.

Whatever is to come in the future, be it me & him as new people in a new phase; or someone completely divinely better than I can imagine, is to come. Inshallah I believe it.

Allah has gifted me these amazing new friends: Val & Lydia.

Both of them together have gifted me with words and gifts and laughter and tears of happiness. How abundant.

I do feel I have everything I need for this new journey.

A place I love with beautiful people and scenery. The future feels rich which only means the man whom I will be with will be even richer.

I can horse ride and gallop!

I can surf!

I’m practicing my French and my Arabic.

I have a community!

I have an amazing circle of friends.

I have been enriched in life with a shared love and connection; practiced dedication, direction and patience. What it means to choose to be a good person amidst adversity. That is wife and mother qualities.

I am learning from the Berber women.

I have achieved my routine and rituals I have always dreamt of.

I understand and feel the Quran ( my favourite is surah Najm, the star, read by Mishary Rashid Afasy, so ethereal )

I have my Islam, I am a Muslim 🌙

What a dream ✨ Alhamdulillah

God is great, I feel him like I never have before, I believe in him and his power and his decree.

For this new phase:

I feel the time for me to be a wife, and then a mother is coming. I feel the next phase of individuals who are diligently planting seeds and are ready is coming: I see myself, I see Salaheddin, I see Iman, I see Zeynab, I see Mia in this new journey with me.

The ones after will be: Val, Lydia, Hamza, Amin

I feel my business as an interior designer, freelancing and as a designer with projects in Saudi and Morocco are coming.

I will have my design studio set up :)

I feel I will be grounded and immersed in life with the discipline, comfort and framework of Islam; the holding guiding vessel to my spiritual waters.

TabarakAllah.

I’ve made it another year to be able to experience this world and breathe for 33 years. Sacred gift of life ❤️

So I'm learning something new. Surfing. And its been an absolute train wreck, a modern day tragedy...up until the first moment of what I would call a surfing success.

An over the wave and into Narnia moment!

Here's to learning something new!

Being really shit at it, but persevering because its part of your own vision, and its important to you :)

Lots of Love ❤️‍🩹 Seriously. You deserve it.

Do you use dating apps? What are your experiences? Do you like it? Do you hate it? Or are. you undecided?

My scale leans more to one end, but I do have to say strategically, it can be a good idea.

But so is a knife...until you hold one in the dark and try to cut an apple, listening to a jumpscare.

Honestly I can see attraction to using them, in the day and age where we want community, dialogue, connection, love.

Ultimately, its how you use it, everyone is different, in what works for them, how they manage things, and what effects them.

Do what works best for you, and takes you on the journey to work on being your best self.

Lots of Love ❤️‍🩹 Seriously. You deserve it.

I did the market research so you don't have to 😂 

Although, I am one for will the philosophy, " Will your 80 year old self regret the decision to have tried it?" No? Give it a go. Or not!

An expansive dialogue with my beautiful new found friend from Bali, Maddie Callipari, from the podcast Live In Truth.

In this episode I reached out to her with the question:

“Mads, what do you feel the difference is between being needy vs having needs?”

Identifying: Do I need it or do I want it

Useful Questions For You: 

Is this a base need or is this something that can add to the relationship and my life and expand ourselves?

Is it something that is an an absolute necessity that if I don’t have it I don’t want this relationship?

Lots of Love ❤️‍🩹 Seriously. You deserve it.

Hello Hi Hi Hello!

Is there a definitive age with age difference that everyone universally agrees on that is appropriate and acceptable?

Or is it subjective to the individual, to the day and age?
