About Me

I am married to my loving husband for more than 45 years now. I am a mother to 3 beautiful children, until years ago when I lost my youngest son. Since then my life is forever altered but yet unbroken....

Thailand: My 61st Birthday in Koh Lanta...

"Let us never know what old age is. Let us know the happiness time brings, not count the years..."

(Koh Lanta, Thailand)

(12 - 15 Nov 2016)

It’s that time of the year again!

I remind myself every year on this special day how blessed I am to have been given another year to experience the wonders of this beautiful world! Thank you Allah for all the blessings of lots of love, good health and abundance of wealth.

Today I spent my 61st birthday with dear hubby, watching the sunset at the beach of Koh Lanta, Thailand.

I’m another year older but none the wiser...

Momento from Egypt

"Live for the moments that you can't put into words..."

(Perfume decanters)

Glass perfume bottles

Glass and glassblowing have long been a part of the Egyptian culture, glass has been found in tombs dating back 3,500 years ago.

The best raw materials used is the quality Pyrex glass. Each perfume bottle is fired a minimum of three times, this ensures permanent rich colors. First, the glass blower who brings shape, second, the painter who is meticulous in his creative expression, and on some - the artist who etches your blown glass creation.

Each one of these skilled people brings their best talent forward to create a truly unique piece.

I was in Egypt in October 1998 and December 2010.

Arif Ashran 1st Birthday...

"There are two great days in a person's life - the day we are born and the day we discover why..." - William Barclay


THERE ARE WORSE THINGS 

So what if you're getting older,
There are worse things to be,
Like a goofy, pimply teenager,
With zero self-esteem.

So what if you got a few wrinkles,
There are worse things to have,
Like a case of the twenty somethings,
And a room at Mom and Dad's.

To me, you're simply wonderful.

(With sister Alia and cousins Hana and Amir)

Algeria: Our next destination...

"In life, it's not where you go. It's who you travel with..." - Charles Schulz

(Algerian flag)


Algeria is a North African country with a Mediterranean coastline and a Saharan desert interior. Many empires have left legacies here, such as the ancient Roman ruins in seaside Tipaza. In the capital, Algiers, Ottoman landmarks like circa-1612 Ketchaoua Mosque line the hillside Casbah quarter, with its narrow alleys and stairways. The city’s Neo-Byzantine basilica Notre Dame d’Afrique dates to French colonial rule. - Google
