Trusting the Process

Journal Entry #13: 

"Allah will open the right doors at the right time." These words have stayed with me through the whirlwind of the past week, and looking back, I realize just how beautifully everything has unfolded.  

I had been feeling overwhelmed, as if I was juggling too much at once—my 30-day writing challenge, preparing to be the MC for my mentor's farewell event, work responsibilities, and training for a 10K race. At times, it felt like I was falling short in every area. But here I am, reflecting on the results, and I feel nothing but gratitude.  

The MC event was a success! The compliments I received warmed my heart—hearing people say how good I was and seeing my mentor happy and proud meant the world to me. I poured my heart into it, and it showed.  

On top of that, I managed to finish the 10K with a personal record of 1:34 minutes—not too bad, considering how hectic life has been! Crossing that finish line felt like crossing a milestone, not just in running but in believing in myself.  

And, of course, the joy didn’t stop there. I got to spend time with Rety and Lisa, my dearest friends from Travira Air. Hanging out with them reminded me of how important it is to make space for laughter and connection amidst life’s chaos.  

This experience has shown me that even when I feel like I’m barely keeping it together, Allah is guiding me to where I’m meant to be. The efforts I put in, however imperfect, are never in vain. Every challenge brought me closer to growth, and every moment of doubt was met with a reward.  

Today, I’m pausing to acknowledge how far I’ve come and to remind myself to trust the process. Life may be busy, but it’s also beautiful. And for that, I am deeply thankful.

Love,

Finding Strength in Vulnerability: My Journey with Anxiety

 Hello there! Can you believe we're already halfway through 2024? Time truly flies. Unfortunately, this year didn't start off on the best note for me. It's been a long, dragging few months, and just yesterday, I experienced a severe anxiety attack that lasted for three hours. It felt like my world was falling apart. I couldn't catch my breath, my heart was racing, and my body was shaking uncontrollably. What triggered this? It was just a normal Monday until this sudden wave of anxiety hit me. I had to leave my desk and talk to a colleague to try and distract myself. But the palpitations only grew worse, and I found myself telling my close friend that I needed to get out of there. As soon as I reached the bench outside, the tears started flowing. I felt more vulnerable than I have in two years. It reminded me of my first anxiety attack, which happened alone, in the middle of the night, leaving me feeling lost and scared. I've always been a worrier, constantly frettin...

Honoring Our Journey of Progress

Hey there, beautiful souls! How's life treating you all? Sending out a shower of blessings your way. Lately, I've been on another     journey of self-discovery and growth. It's incredible how we can be our own worst critics, isn't it? We often find ourselves tangled up in the web of our own expectations, only to end up feeling utterly devastated when we fall short of achieving what we desire. Yews ouch!   Ah, the vicious cycles of life! They have a way of knocking us down, hitting us hard in the gut, and making us question our worth. It's as if we're constantly riding a roller coaster, one moment feeling on top of the world, and the next, crashing down to the depths of despair. Oh, how I know that feeling all too well! But you know what? In the midst of these tumultuous ups and downs, I've learned a valuable lesson. I've come to realize that it's unrealistic to expect myself to be the same person every single day. Life is a constant ebb and flow, and...

Near-death Reflection

Two days ago,  I had an experience that shook me deeply and made me truly appreciate the precious gift of life.  After more than twenty years of driving, I was in a major car accident.  I don't remember much about the incident, other than the airbag exploding in my face.  I was in shock at the time, but perhaps thanks to my previous training as a crew member in an emergency, I was able to cope with the situation. But when I got home, I succumbed to emotions and found myself unable to do anything but cry and cry.  Only then did I realize how lucky I was to be alive, how lucky I am to be able to get home.  The fact that the man whose towing my car said it was a terrible accident and I could lose my life.  The weight of this awareness impressed me so much that I could only hug my mother and keep crying. This experience made me think about how I live my life.  Have I treated others kindly and respectfully?  Have I made a positive impact on those ...
