Writing Between the Spaces
Tonight, as I sat down to write my daily blog, I found myself reflecting on the journey that this practice has become. It isn’t about the finished product—the polished words or the curated images you see—it’s about the states I move through before those elements come to life. Every day is different. There’s a quiet…

Morning Coffee Talk~ 12/365
Good Morning, This post today is about a life changing moment, one of those that we have at a certain stage of our lives and they end up lodging themselves in our personal history, refusing to fade into the dusty halls of our memories, and maybe just maybe they were more significant than we can…

Day 7~ March 7th~ Egypt
Like so many other developing countries, many children in Egypt have to work to make a living. On my journey to Egypt I met and communicated with so many children and for some reason, it is these encounters that stayed alive in me till today. Children’s eyes can tell it how it is, the truth.…

Day Two Hundred Eighty, October 29, 2011
I like to picture my life since birth graphically as a line drawn on a globe almost like a dot on a GPS system if you want. The line starts the day I was born in the Asian continent in a small country called Lebanon and then that line goes on curving here and there,…
