And as it approaches-EID MABRUK- and HAJJ MABRUK to all the pilgrims...

And so I spend this Eid alone-

I shall meditate and reflect.
(I am working, of course!)

But Bubbs is to have a fun time at her dad and step mom's.
This time in 2004 in Mecca, I made my tawaaf and sobbed my sorrow to my GOD-
He sent me what I needed. He turned my feet into the direction that brought a ton of pain, a ton of hardship, a ton of growth and learning and STRENGTH! He led me to my peace. It was a difficult road that year and the next and the next. But I would not change a thing.

This year too, I hope, the hardships will lead me to my destiny-
And that I will emerge a stronger, more refined ME.

Alhamdullilah-
LA ILAHA ILLA ANTA SUBHANAKA INNI KUNTU MINAZ ZALIMEEN
