I wish upon a chocolate…

A visual of my thoughts, my present moment. I got this booklet in my latest issue of ‘Getaway’. And oh, how I wish I could be at either of these places…which brings me to that ‘Wish’ which lies on top of it. Lol…I have become semi-addicted to it. Delicious little chocolate with a [...]

Zam Zam

I got this email today. Very interesting!
We came here again to perform the Omrah, and I am reminded of the wonders of zamzam. The well of zamzam is the well that Allah caused to flow at Mekkah for

Losing myself…

I am fighting my sleep as I write this entry. My emotions and thoughts are too fervent to be gone untold, unwritten. I have fallen into the depths of despondency.

Enchanted

I sit, overlooking the waves that crash against the shore. A patterned beauty, homogeneous, yet each wave a powerful individual. The water integrating itself with the land. Lasting a few seconds, then returning to its abode. For millions of miles across the shores of the world, a continuous cycle.
