- Trauma bondsAs salaam aliakum Reader, I pray this message finds you well. I wanted to talk with you today about a 'hot' and sensitive topic. Trauma. What I want to say is this - your trauma lives in your body because you put it there. Your housing it, clothing it, and you refuse to let it leave. It is your own intellect and emotions - concious and subconcious - that have made your experiences 'mean' something permanent that you now decided to hold onto. Furthermore, it is your own emotional and...Read more
- Time crunchAs salaam alaikum Reader, I pray this message finds you well. I’m going to get straight to the point. If you are feeling like time is closing in on you and you are full of untapped potentiality with so much of your Lord and yourself you have yet to uncover … you are not imagining things. Our Prophet (pbuh) told us that this life is deeds without accountability and the next life is all accountability with no chance to rectify with deeds. So we don’t have time, we have to send forth the most...Read more
- Getting out of alignmentAs salaam alikum Reader, I pray this message finds you well. The solar calendar year is coming to an end, and around this time people tend to think about how to make their lives better for the coming year.. The word 'alignment' is an interesting one that we often use when thinking about self-devolpment. We want to be in alignment, or we are feeling out of alignment...and what does that all mean, and how do we fix this feeling. There is something about alignment that doesn't quite hit the mark...Read more

- Not what I asked forAs salaam alaikum Reader, I pray you are well. I want to talk to you about the 'unanswered dua'... or rather, when you are specific about your intentions or desires and you don't get what you want. The sleepers in the cave (chapter 18) had a simple desire when they woke up from what they thought was a long nap of a day, or part of a day. Their one desire was for pure food and to not call any attention to themselves. Chapter 18, verses 19-20 read (in English) as follows... And so We awakened...Read more
- Anger managementAs salaam alaikum Reader, I pray this message finds you well. Do you ever think about times in your life when you were almost like a different person? Today I thought about back when I used to be 'angry mommy'. I don't mean to say that I was 'angry mommy' because my children told me I was mean by the way. Being called 'mean' by a child means practically nothing. I know I was angry and had lots of negative emotions erupting somewhat frequently. I was angry, not always, just when they didn't...Read more
- Planning for Presence & BarakahAs salaam alaikum Reader, I pray this message finds you well. On November 27, which corresponds to the beginning of the Islamic month Jumada al-Awwal, I will be holding a special workshop on Planning for Presence & Barakah. As a busy mom with a hectic schedule I got caught up in planning a life centered around to-do's, activities, and appointments. But that was not fuflilling to me. My life is way more than stuff to do and places to go and even when I got my life in order a bit more, there...Read more
- Patience and submissionAs salaam alaikum Reader, I pray this message finds you well. Alhamdulillah there is so much to be grateful for. I wanted to send you a quick message about gratitude and validation. We live in a very polarized political world right now. Ideas like disinformation, misinformation, conspiracy theorist, malinformation, cancel culture and the like have clogged our minds and hearts and it can be difficult to ascertain truth from falsehood. Even if the truth seems clear and apparent, the best course...Read more
- Some adviceAs salaam alaikum Reader, I pray this message finds you and your family well. Many people all around the world are facing difficult times, and I pray that Allah alleviate their suffering and make any trials they are experienceing a means of their elevation in this world and the next and an expiation for any sins. Many years ago I was going through a difficult period in my personal life. I was heartbroken, confused and deeply sad. The type of sadness that feels thick and weighty and drags you...Read more
