Change?

These days, I've been feeling a little like a fish out of water, a lion out of the jungle, a ... well, you get the idea. Not really sure why, but something has got to change. I need a change. *sigh* Maybe if I set some goals and then work on those goals. But what do I really want to achieve? where do I begin? Ramadan is coming up, perhaps I should start there. Insha Allah, change will come, it always does.

Amantu Billah

A really nice way to learn the articles of faith!

Wind Journey

Wind Journey

Whispering winds,
Rustling through leaves.
Tales of journeys, from
across the seas.
Wandering over meadows, and
rolling down valleys.
Raising sand dunes, and
unleashing mansoons.
Carrying life and destruction
clouds and seasons.
Whispering winds,
rustling through leaves.
With stories and adventures
from across the seas.

The coming of motivation....

I have had a spark of motivation to try and do new things. Insha allah, I look forward to getting into more crafty hobbies that I have not had the time and know how to do. A friend of mine is really good at sewing and making cute things with her sewing machine. We are really considering starting up a sewing/craft club. I still want to work on my coloring book project though, with ramadan coming up, I just may work on a ramadan coloring activity as gifts. hmm, all these ideas, so little time :D I recently made a cute father's day card for my dad that turned out nice and he really liked. It was unique and thoughtful. He was surprised I made it!! so yes, I think I want to work on honing in on my creative potential!
