Dear Readers...

Happy International Women's Day!

Have a beautiful day today! But don't forget our sisters who do not feel as if they can celebrate anything. Say a kind word, help them out, donate your love, time, money and energy. Be a part of the solution. Or else, for what other purpose is it worth being here???

Dear Readers...

"I am ready for the challenge to make my life a masterpiece. I am ready to join the leaders who live what they teach, who walk their talk, who live their lives as if it was the only one they get!"

Dear Readers...

Have an amazing weekend! Happy New Year!

They Say it Better: Imam al Ghazali

"You should not neglect your time or use it haphazardly; on the contrary you should bring yourself to account, structure your litanies and other practices during each day and night, and assign to each period a fixed and specific function. This is how to bring out the spiritual blessing (baraka) in each period. But if you leave yourself adrift, aimlessly wandering as cattle do, not knowing how to occupy yourself at every moment, your time will be lost. It is nothing other than your life, and your life is the capital that you make use of to reach perpetual felicity in the proximity of God the Exalted. Each of your breaths is a priceless jewel, since each of them is irreplaceable and, once gone, can never be retrieved. Do not be like the deceived fools who are joyous because each day their wealth increases while their life shortens. What good is an increase in wealth when life grows ever shorter? Therefore be joyous only for an increase in knowledge or in good works, for they are your two companions who will accompany you in your grave when your family, wealth, children and friends stay behind."

 -Imam al Ghazali from The Beginning of Guidance.

They Say it better and Spotlight: Laila A, modern sister doing great things!

Asalamu Alaykum folks!

Isn’t it beautiful to read about adventurous spirits who take life by the reigns and do the things we usually just sit and dream about!? Laila is one of those chicas! Hijab clad, full spirit and passion, she is now training to hike the Grand Canyon! Yes...hike the GRAND CANYON!

"Everyday, think as you wake up, ‘today I am fortunate to have woken up, I am alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings, I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others, I am going to benefit others as much as I can."-Dalai Lama
