My Darling Somi, It’s been 1,933 days since death beckoned and you crossed over. Life has never felt the same since you left; at the very least, my world. Over 5 years later I remember the happenings like it was yesterday. The one phone call that changed my life rang just like any other regular call. Whenever people I love call me now, I pick up with hesitation and I pause to hear the happy or sad in their voice before…

The continuous path towards self-improvement is a timeless process.” – Brittany Burgunder So it’s the middle of the ‘resolution’ month and I wanted to check in to see how everyone was coming along with doing the things they promised they would do differently and steadfastly in 2018 .

It’s January 1st 2018 and I’m super grateful to be here today; alive, healthy and still able to constantly pursue the things that set my heart on fire. I never take any of this for granted.

Continue reading“Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow” I’ve been on a spontaneous trip for the past few days. I came as part of a creative group touring the cities of Morocco and so far we’ve been to Casablanca, Marrakech, Chefchouan and we have one stop at Fes to go.

When I was younger all I wanted to do was be grown up and do what I perceived to be grown up things. Wear mini clothes if I wanted to, go out at 10pm to meet up with friends, be able to order alcohol in bars, hang out with boys. Looking back now, I wish I had a true 360 view of what adulthood meant…
