As salaam aliakum Reader,
I pray this message finds you well.
I was thinking today about counting our blessings. We hear that statement a lot, and it is valuable when we are thinking about gratitude. When we are in the space of feeling unsure or doubtful, it is good to count our blessings. However, when you are really in the space of gratitude itself, you are living in your blessings, and you realize how innumerable your blessings are.
Understanding that you are living in your blessings opens up a space for wonder and abundance in your life. You get to be in a place of excitement knowing that Allah is designing your life and that He is the best of designers.
When you place your trust fully in Allah you are not intimidated by surprises, you live in a space knowing to expect the unexpected, and you get to be in a place of thankfulness and gratitude when Allah unfolds your life.
Recently my family took an epic journey....and I mean EPIC... Oh, and I was not with them in body but I was there in spirit and emotions.
We literally, went back to our motherland. My mother had not been back to her home country of Guyana in more than fifty years, and I am sure that she never thought she would ever go back... She left as a teenager and built a life with my father and their children, raised six girls, and now have twenty grandchildren Alhamdulillah.
And you know what...Allah had a plan for her. A plan that her daughter, who is an artist, would be a key to her returning with most of her children, to her motherland after 50+ years!!! My mind is blown and my heart is full. Allah is just Allah.
How amazing that my sister followed her passion and walked through the doors of opportunity that Allah had for her, not knowing precisely what was down the road, but by submitting to the direction Allah was taking her life into that blessing became a pathway for untold blessings for herself and her family in ways no one was even remotely thinking of.
Going back to Guyana was in no ones future plans...it was not even a serious fantasy, more like a 'oh that would be nice if...', but just one person submitting to their purpose, and walking through the door in the direction Allah opens for them...that one decision can literally open up an whole new timeline in the Universe.
Oooooh...so so juicy, mashaAllah.
So while we are busy counting our blessings, let's also live in them and allow for the element of barakah (exponential blessings) and surprise because what Allah has planned for us is so wonderful, really tremendously bountiful, beyond what we can imagine for ourselves.
I have a course coming up called Mothers of Mountains and we go into the extraordinary lives of women who leaned into their spiritual connection to God and bravery and faithfully stepped into the future God had planned for them...and it literally changed. the. world.!!!

As salaam alaikum Reader, I pray this message finds you well. SubhanAllah, I've not written in quite some time and my intention is to get back into it.

As salaam alaikum Reader, I pray this message finds you well. I want to share with you that I've always felt there was something special about women that Allah has kept to Himself...and has left purposefully somewhat clouded in mystery in this world. Allah is very specific about how Adam was created, but for women He tells us only that we were created from the rib of Adam. Allah is very specific about a mans role in a marriage, as maintainer, provider, and protector; but for women He is more...
