Sweet November
I have finished my third month at my new job on October 26th. It was an interesting/frustrating period. I’m happy to report that I have passed my probation period and didn’t need to go through the usual three months trial.
It seems that there are things that will never change. I’ve been in the workforce since 2004, and since then I worked in three different jobs, the longest of which lasted for...

Give because... You can
It was like this time of the year when I joined Change Your Life group to help in the renovations of pediatric cancer ward at Shumaisi hospital. For more details refer to this blog post.
Now, where was I? Yeah, one of the kids who helped us “Sara” is no longer with us, may she rest in peace. A couple of months ago, a friend of mine showed me a video of Sara when she was in her late stages of the...

A New Chapter..
It’s been almost two months when I left my job and took some time off. I had the intention to look for another job that suits my personality and utilize my skills. I have to admit I enjoyed my previous job, despite the drawbacks we faced. I had a great chance to meet wonderful people and I dealt with a handful of obnoxious ones too to even things out.
The question that I had in mind is, do I see...

What Happened to All the Nice Girls?
Today’s post is written by a dear friend of mine ArabicRihanna from twitter. She’s one of the most fascinating people I’m blessed to know. A smart young lady with a distinguished sense of humor. I could go on talking about her, but I know she wouldn’t want me to do so as she’s a very humble person. So I’ll leave you to read the post now.
But before you do, I...

I know it's late.. 2009
So here I am finally writing this post after it took me months thinking of it and finding a moment for myself to catch my breath and sit down to type it. I’m happy to say that I’m writing this from my new mini Toshiba which I got to help me get back to writing, as it’s one of my goals for 2010.
Now, back to 2009, overall it was a good year. Had its up and downs, but generally I look...

One year older..
Last Wednesday was my 28th birthday.. I can’t express the over whelming feelings I had all week for all the good things that happened during that day. It started with a lovely gift I received from Duha on Tuesday and emails/texts from friends. Wednesday morning was so quiet.. Mom told me she’s having people over.. What a timing! Got a “happy birthday girl!” text from Mai,...

Gratitude...
I was talking with a friend about the ups and downs we face in this life. The challenges, good or bad, that stare at us right in the eyes when we’re working hard to achieve that dream. Some we overcome and some we don’t leaving us wondering what did we do wrong? Or was it that we didn’t try hard enough? Is it meant to be or not? A lot of questions that at some point shakes our...

Change Your Life..
A month ago I got a phone call from a friend asking me to recommend a painter to help them in some volunteer work. I offered to help during weekend mornings if it was possible. Luckily, I was able to join them. The volunteer work was initiated by a group of young girls calling themselves “Change Your Life - Riyadh” who are involved in various volunteer work to help those in need....

The Last Lecture..
It was a couple of summers ago when I watched The Last Lecture on YouTube for the first time. I have to say it was one of the inspiring talks I ever watched.. As I always do when I’m into something I’ll talk about it endlessly so here I am to talk about it. This year when I knew that the book was out, I was excited to purchase it. Got me a copy and decided to read it whenever I found...

Your life... or others' life?!
Through time I learned that the wisest people are those who learn from others’ mistakes. Does that mean I should not make my own mistakes?
I mean that in a good way of course. We learn through experience and from our wiser older parents, friends, family members and colleagues. But the fact that some of those force their opinions or their own experience on you which spoils your own unique...

What did I learn in 2008?
Finally, I was able to sit and plan my goals for 2009. This time I decided to use the guidance of the Your Best Year Yet book. I got the book as a gift from a friend and I was planning to read it at some point, so here I am.
Part of the planning process is reflecting on the achievements and failures of the past year. After acknowledging these two important aspects of our lives, comes the part...
It's a matter of a choice...
This week was an eye opener for me.. it hit me! I mean how come I lose track of what’s going on.. sometimes when we’re so worked up about things happening in our everyday life we kinda forget what really matters..
I’ve been so busy to the point I accept things I don’t like or approve of, but when I reflect about what happend during the day.. I ask myself why didn’t I...

TGIW
Finally, after putting off writing in this blog for a very long time.. I’ve decided to start today.. Mochness has brought this to my attention this morning thanks to her. I’d like to thank Yasmine for the design she made which I love and chaotixfusion for helping me putting this blog together as I have no clue whatsoever in these things. Can’t thank you enough guys for the big help! :-)
