“Women in particular need to keep an eye on their physical and mental health, because if we’re scurrying to and from appointments and errands, we don’t have a lot of time to take care of ourselves. We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own ‘to do’ list.”-Michelle Obama

"I didn’t come to Islam because I felt I needed to be a part of something. I could have joined a gang or the local rotary club if I wanted “to belong”. I converted because I loved the religion, full stop.

The thing about spirituality is that it has to come from within you. If you are mimicking, doing something because someone told you, behaving in a way the community will approve of... You are only a shell and the slightest pressure will cause you to crumble. If you are building one layer at a time as you acquire knowledge, you are like a stone and the pressure might just make you into a gem. Just

If it doesn't elevate you as a person? I ask myself this often especially of converts like myself. You search out a good religious fit for you. Deal with losing a part of your identity, sometimes face a family that abandons you because of your choice,  and are perhaps even ostracized by society AND the people of your new religion only to be the same old negative, belittling mean person you were

Asalaamu alaykum!!! I cannot believe it's been so long since I've posted!  Between Ramadan, moving, a slight Facebook addiction lol, having a new baby and day to day life I guess I just got uber busy! I was suffering from low imaan for awhile so I wasn't really feeling too "religious" for some time but, alhamdulillah, I got a surge of imaan revival and I'm quite pleased and grateful to Allah.

Salaams! Can you believe Ramadan is almost here!!?? I live in a part of the country with very very long days so this will be a particularly challenging fast. I'm not 100% if I'll be fasting this year but I do have some goals in mind that I will share: reading the entire Qur'an in English to not speak in anger to cook a meal for the masjid to learn a new surah That's it for this year!

Ringing in 1431 and 2010!!! I was inspired by The Muslimah's post where she listed her goals for the new year so I will do likewise! So in no particular order insha Allah: Go greener! Recycle, reduce, reuse. Try out cloth diapers. Stop being a product junkie. Get my haircare products and routine down to a science! Read Qur'an daily, even if for only 5 minutes. Workout for at least 10 minutes

So a few weeks or so ago on Twitter a sister was talking about hijab and how awesome it was and how much she loved it. My reaction was: meh, I don't know about all that. She pressed me further and I said: I do not love hijab. As my "handle" indicates I wear hijab and I respect hijab but I don't love it....at all. I wear it like I wear a seatbelt. Every time I get in a car I buckle up without

You're moving, chasing a nearly 1 year old and fasting Ramadan! Can you believe the month is half over? Unfortunately this has been the least productive Ramadan for me EVER! But as brother @ns8t of Twitter told me: it's not too late to turn it around. My mommy is coming tomorrow :). I'm going to take advantage of her being here to go to taraweeh (night prayers) without Zach. I'm excited for that
