My Dreams

I've been very silent these last few weeks, almost as if I am a new person, not the same as I have been this last year.  I wonder to myself lately whether or not this means I am healing because as they say "time heals all wounds." Or am I just running from my past by putting it aside and forcing myself to run, to run to a universe much different to the one I'm living in....I'm not sure...

Lately I've been having a lot of dreams, for the first time in years I've been remembering little snippets of these dreams.  They are mostly of my past life, of my husband, of my first love, and of my childhood memories.  Maybe this is the way I'm coping with my past, by remembering all of these painful memories in my sleep.  Maybe my mind has latched on to which remedy is best for my heart, It's almost less painful when I dream of my husband because I can't feel that gut wrenching feeling of a blade cutting through my veins.  I don't know how I've managed to have my brain work this way but it's pretty darn good.  The human brain is truly an amazing gift....

Tears

When I see her tears, her pain why do I ache in here? Is this justice? If the burden of both tears and pain were her, what justice would that be? Were her tears and her pain to be mine, justice would be done The tears welled up from her heart. I made her cry.  When her tears stream down here why do I ache in here? She says I don’t understand anything.  If I never understood anything, How come I understand what I am and what she is ?

International Women's Day: A Tribute To The Yazidi Women

Today is International Women’s Day. Last year I focused on women as a whole and spoke of the hardships some of us endure from single parenthood to dying in war torn nations. But this year I want to focus on the women, the girls, the prisoners of war, who are being treated like objects and are being sold into slavery and treated as sex slaves. These girls and women are being raped countless times every day and are giving birth to babies at young ages and dying during childbirth. These victims of sex slavery are not only traumatized physically but also emotionally. When, if they are released from their imprisonments’, they are not able to speak to their families of what really happened to them, rape, because if they do they’ll be cast away from their families because of their family honor. These women are told that being raped by a man or men is acceptable within Islam, this is false information. These women are the thousands and hundreds of thousands of Yazidi women who have been ...

Project Akhirah

This week I had the honor of learning more about a new Non profit organization still in its early stages yet has been successful beyond words; this charity is called Project Akhirah. A very close friend and sister of mine, Amina Farah, first reached out to me to discuss Project Akhirah and her volunteer work with this incredible organization. Project Akhirah is very new and thriving and looking to get the word out of what their organization wishes to accomplish. I decided why not write a blog! I’m always looking for reasons to sit back and type away. Project Akhirah is a Non profit organization set up in 2013 by a group of young Muslimahs’ in hopes of making a difference in the lives of the less fortunate, those whose lives are laden with poverty and suffering.  However each of the girls were personally affected by the crisis in Syria in particular and felt it a responsibility to help towards this cause. As a group they had made pledges to raise enough funds to donate to the ...
