Embracing Surrender: Finding Peace in Chaos
As the world spins faster, louder, and more unpredictable, I’ve discovered that the most profound answers often come not from resistance but from surrender. It may seem counterintuitive, even passive, to stand still amidst the chaos and simply allow things to be as they are. Yet, in a time when we’re flooded with uncertainty and…

Desert Dreams that Linger
My mind is still in the desert, lingering in its haunting beauty. That day under the vast, unyielding sky left an indelible mark. The desert is extreme in its minimalism—a place stripped bare, where life slows to the pace of the sand, the sun, and the incline of the dunes. There is no rush, only…

Finding Solace by the Sea: My Emirates Reflection
This is my fifth visit to the Emirates, and every time I leave, I carry with me a lingering thought: something feels incomplete. For years, I’ve felt the subtle call of the Persian Gulf, its turquoise waters whispering to me, yet I never made the time to step into its waters. It’s strange how life…

Daily Coffee Talk~ 54/365
Hi my friends, I remember a world with less restrictions, a planet without a pandemic, a state of affairs when most travelled freely, and a time when the world as it is today was inconceivable. And yet, here we are, at the end of an almost 3 year run at this virus’s stroll around our…

Daily Coffee Talk~ 52/365
Good day, I don’t think I have ever used the term ‘good day’ ever before. So here it is, good day to you. I am still caring for my quarantined child on day 5, trying to come up with creative meals and snacks, getting used to washing my hands 25 times a day, running down…

Morning Coffee Talk~ 49/364
Good Morning, Sitting here at home and caring for my lovely daughter who is in quarantine with covid, I find time playing games with me. It goes fast, then very slow only to go fast again reminding me that I have absolutely no control over it. That is one of the natures of time, it…
