Time to set my priorities straight..

So this month has been crazy for me. Work, school and life. My sister says that these things are just bumps in my road but I wish I could see it that way right now. Maybe in the future insha'allah. I am swamped with school and to add to all that is going on, something happened yesterday. I took my dog to the vet because he was limping and since he's a German Shepherd I was worried it might be hip displaysia. Well even though I was going in with this possibilty in my head, I wasn't ready for that possibility to become reality. My dog has minor HD but sever Bon deterioration in his lower back which is even a bigger problem. I'm not sure how to deal with this fully but for now I am taking it one day at a time, one vet visit at a time. I am not really concerned about the vets idea of how long my German Shepherd will live because that of course is only known by Allah but I pray that he won't be in pain and will live a healthy life. Some people think that this is feeling too much for a pet but is there any limit on how much you can love your friend,family, or strangers? Then why should there be a "limit" for pets? I see it as an ammana that Allah has given me and I must do the best I can to take care of it. I am feeling guilty for all the times I didn't walk him but alhamdulillah, insha'allah he'll be just fine.

Stressed Out!

This is going to be one of the MOST stressful weekends I have had in a long time! How do I know? Well, I have a paper due on Sunday. I have a huge test on Monday and to top it all off I have to work every night! I wish I could just fast-forward to Monday night but I guess I have to live through this. Insha'allah I do well and don't get anymore overwhelmed than what I am now..AMEEN 

Quote of the day!

Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more. ♥ ♥~Anthony Robbins

Did you know..

Did you know that the people that seem the strongest are usually the most sensitive? Did you know that the people who exhibit the most kindness are usually the first to get mistreated? Did you know the ones who take care of others all the time are usually the ones that need it the most? Did you know that the ones who speak of truth are the ones who get persecuted? Did you know the 3 hardest things to say are: I ove you, I'm sorry and help me?

Loosing sight of your goal

My mom gave me a beautiful piece of advise a while back and I recently have remembered it so I thought I would share it with you :)


"When you want something so bad and you hold on to it so tight, it ends up slipping right out of your hand and you don't even see it coming"

If only it was more than..

I had an amazing dream last night, something I would love for to become true in reality. I enjoyed every minute of it, the people, the place, the conversations, Everything!! I sometimes have very active dreams and this was one of them, you know the dream that doesn't have any weird things you can't explain or people you don't know but the dream is so normal and is a continuation of something that is happening in your life or how you would've liked something to turn out. When I woke up the first thought was "Ya Allah my dream was just that, a dream!", Disappointed to say the least. I am big on dream translations and understanding the meaning of them but I'm not sure if it's possible with this particular dream since it didn't have anything unusual or outstanding for me to look into the meaning of it. I have decided to leave it as it is. You don't always have to be awake and alert to have beautiful moments & memories but you can in your sleep too.

"You can dream something so beautiful & exactly what you wanted but when you wake up your sad because it was only a dream and not reality but happy because it was a dream that you will never forget and a beautiful memory that you will treasure forever ♥ ♥"~ Me

I will continue to make dua' and pray that this dream of mine does come true and it isn't just a beautiful memory, but Only time will tell...

The White Dream

Arabs have been know for their poetry and flirtatiousness and the Arabic language is such a powerful and pure one. It is the same for Arabic songs, but unfortunately when it is translated into English you loose alot of the beauty and meaning of the phrase but you get an idea of what they are talking about. I would love to share with y'all a song that come out this summer by a famous female Arabic singer, Najwa Karam. The song is for weddings and talking about the couple on their wedding day! It has been stuck in my head for a while as I imagine myself overseas at a wedding where the music is so loud and everyone is dressed top notch and just dance the night away. I have found the translation to the song in English as well, Hope you enjoy the song ;)

English Lyrics

In the middle of all the noise I heard your voice and came

I no longer hear anyone, but you

I left the home in which I was raised

To be happy with you, to cry with you, to be with you

In my white dream, and the veil, and the lock that glows on my finger

And in my eye is a tear of joy that draws a new world for me

I want to tell the world that I love you

I want to say that I've chosen you for life

Oh welcome, oh welcome, oh welcome

Oh winter flowers for our guests fill our home as do our loved ones

Tell them love, those who have not walked our path, may they be blessed like us, tell them

Girls, honor us with your presence at our wedding

Guys, honor us with your presence at our wedding

And may all the bachelors be blessed like us and find their match

To me, listen listen listen to me
