As salaam alaikum Reader,

I pray this message finds you well.

On November 27, which corresponds to the beginning of the Islamic month Jumada al-Awwal, I will be holding a special workshop on Planning for Presence & Barakah.

As a busy mom with a hectic schedule I got caught up in planning a life centered around to-do's, activities, and appointments. But that was not fuflilling to me. My life is way more than stuff to do and places to go and even when I got my life in order a bit more, there was still some resentment that I was not showing up in my own life for my own self the way I needed to. I do have lots to do, with a large family, homeschooling, coaching private clients and running a business, and still I now plan my life not around those roles, but around being present with the reality of my life and what God has trusted me with.

I invite you to learn the system and techniques that I use to plan my life with a focus on present.

I'll tell you something funny Reader, I was never a planner by nature, and organization is quite honestly not my strongest capability...but I don't like feeling like my life is a whirlwind.

I was tired of living a life doing things for my children and family and not with them.

I was tired of getting my prayers and adhkar in and not being present with my Lord.

When I realized all too often I would be praying and making tashahud only to realize I was reciting fatihah in sitting (jalsa) , I knew there was a problem. So when I started getting into planning my intention from the beginning was not simply to organize my time, it was to be present in and with my time.

A few questions to consider:

Have you ever felt the joy and then vacancy of checking off to-do lists only to find that you were living your life like some kind of glorified 'human machine' ?

Have you been in that space where you are running around like a chicken with its head cut off putting out fires, changing diapers, cooking meals, and all the rest only to feel like you are right back where you started and nothing to show inwardly or outwardly for your frazzled life?

I've been there and different outlooks and strategies have helped me step out of that space and into a place of better presence and more calm and gratitude alongside a more clear vision of the mindset, spiritual orientation and actions needed to lead my life in the direction I desire , by the pleasure of Allah.

I plan in a way that allows me to be where I am.

I invite you to join me on November 27 from 8-10 am EST for the Plan Barakah: Planning for Presence & Blessings (Barakah) Masterclass & Workshop.
