Letting go.....
Liz Akhavan - Loved and Lost with lyrics
In addition to reading literature, critical theory, philosophy, and 70's and 80's music, I love and relish cooking with ingredients most people have never heard of. I also enjoy writing creatively. Reading foreign literature, Dubai and Italy, Italian, and Arabic coffee is my favorite writing in Arabic and English and soulful souls as a writer. During the weekends, I spend time watching the sun rise over the heavens and sipping Turkish, Arabic, or Italian coffee while listening to some exemplary music. Traveling, exploring new places, and learning about different cultures. I find joy in trying out different dishes and experimenting with a variety of flavors and ingredients. Engaging in meaningful conversations with people from different walks of life is something I enjoy.

Ohh how I love thee..
mood: =)
craving: NY.NY
I would always rant and rave about NY and tell my girlfriends I was gonna live there someday. I looked at NY when I was younger with WIDE EYES, always wanting to go there and live the fast life.
These days we travel around Germany and it often reminds me of NY. The architecture of the buildings, the way people don't really use cars to go down the the market, the riding of the bikes everywhere, the homes so close together in the city.
Ah, I think I'll keep pretending to myself, pretending I'm in NY. Cause I never got to live there. After all, my heart will always be in America and a tiny piece will always be in NY. But, I can imagine can't I?

final whisper: I will just be

Salam Alykom my brothers and sisters in Islam and hello to all my non-Muslim friends and family. I'm sooo lazy to write in my blog. I've been soooo busy lately and haven't really had time to come and blog. Today is busy, as my kids and I are going out to lunch with one of my closest friends and then shopping. :) Tomorrow one of my friends is coming back from Saudia Arabia. Her and her brother are studying here in San Antonio. :) I've missed her so much. They've helped me and my kids in more ways than one with us moving here back to Texas. I just can't wait to see her and hug her. <3 What else? Hmmmm. I guess that's it. It's rainy and cold here. I'll try to be a little more creative with my next blog entry. :D Have a wonderful weekend. :)
