Thanksgiving/Eid Mubarak

Although Thanksgiving was delightful, my mom made special halal food for me and Osamah, Eid was NOT how I planned. I planned on going to Black Friday at WalMart with my mother, then going to the mosque with a friend from high school. She facebooked me since I converted and was very surprised and glad, and wanted to spend time together. I not only slept through the Black Friday wake up call, but I also slept through the mosque wake up call. I was SOOOOO dissapointed. I really wanted to see her and I just am so upset that I missed Eid prayer. It was my first Eid( well this one).......anyways....

Hijabi Adventures in Lab

I have not been very happy this semester with my independent study advisors reaction to hijab. He asked me if my "boyfriend" made me wear it. ???? What the heck kind of comment is that. As if a female has to be "made " modest by a man. He makes me so uncomfortable, and he gave my computer away to another student! I feel uncomfortable around the other student as well, I think he was laughing at my hijab. I don't think he likes me at all. I cannot wait until I graduate and I'm finished with this lab. I hate dealing with ignorant people. Women in the sciences is important, and I am being treated differently because I'm not trying to be a distraction to the lab.....UGH! There is one supportive man however, but I just need a break from this nonsense, it is exhausting.
P.S.....Aren't environmental people supposed to the open minded...ha ha ha

Ladies Nights

Where my girls at?


Salaam everyone!

I have just been thinking lately about blessings. I think one of the biggest blessing I have is my Muslim girlfriends. My whole life I was never really close with very many women outside my family. I had trouble relating to the mentality of certain women and just could never get close enough. Every since I have reverted al hamdulilah, I have met the most wonderful and kind sisters and I no longer feel that way about women! I always thought I was different and weird, but I just realized that I needed to meet women with different values. Ladies we must appreciate this relationship and even if we are married we must make time for our friends! This will not only keep our relationships fresh with our husbands, but it will refresh your soul so you can be a better wife and mother. Maintaining friendships and your own life is very important, and unfortunately many women sacrifice all of theirselves when they get married. How can you be the best wife and mother you can be if you don't enjoy yourself, or you don't even remember the last time you had an a adult conversation. Please ladies I beg you, MAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF, AND YOUR FEMALE FRIENDS. It will increase the quality of your life in all areas insha'Allah.

Thanks for reading. May Allah bless you all.
