Day 9: Ten People that Have Influenced me

1. Jesus Christ: I can’t really say enough or say anything.
2. St. Paul: One of the greatest minds in history.
3. St. Peter: I relate to Peter and I love his transformation pre and post resurrection. I love how this transformation is right in the Bible for all of us to see. It shows that people of great faith were just like us in the beginning.
4. Chris McCandless: This guy abandons society, give his entire savings account to charity, and camps out in Alaska. To learn more, please watch Into the Wild. I can’t begin to describe how inspired I am by this guy. His courage to follow his heart and pursue what he feels is right, despite how people thought he was crazy/stupid , is my biggest motivation.
5. My mother: I have never seen anybody love me like she does.
6. My father: The best father in the world!
7. My sister Mariam: inspires to LIVE more by her ambition and thirst for life.
8. My brother Peter: inspires to have fun and take it easy.
9. My grandmother: One of the kindest people I have ever met, whose death still haunts me and I wish I had spend more time with her.
10. My uncle Emad: One of the kindest people I have ever met, whose death still haunts me and I wish I had spend more time with him.
11. My uncle Hany: One of the kindest people I have ever met, whose death still haunts me and I wish I had spend more time with him.

Day 5: 5 (7) Things that Makes me Most Happy Right Now

Dear wonderful Reader,

I believe the five things that make me most happy right now are, and in no particular order are:

• Blogging: The world of blogging is fabulous and I love being able to materialize my thoughts and ideas into blog posts. Also, It makes me happy that when I get likes, comments, or followers so Thank you ❤
• Decluttering: I love decluttering or rather I hate clutter. Now that I have more time than I used to, I like going through my stuff and giving away or throwing out things I don’t need. It’s true what they say about your space reflecting your state of mind.
• Taking Baths: After a long day of stress and dealing with people who aren’t very nice or helpful, I love taking  a bath and watching a comedy show to relax me.
• Watching Good Movies: I love watching and discovering movies. I love it even more If I finish a movie and know that It’s soothing that I am going to be watching again or recommending it to friends. The last good (amazing) movie I came across was Amelie.
• Helping Others: I love helping people in general…. Let me rephrase I love the feeling I get after helping them but sometimes I don’t enjoy the task itself. However, the reward is great because it makes me feel happy and rejuvenated.
• Spending with my Family & Pets: One of simplest life pleasures that we often take for granted or at least I do. Note to self: be kinder to your family and create the best memories.
• Reading on the Beach/outdoors: I love going to the beach by myself to read. There is something magical about receiving knowledge while being in nature’s embrace; It makes me feel like I’m doing exactly what I’m supposed to be doing with your life, gives me positive energy and zeal, and inspires me.

LIFE IS SO beautiful. So full of magic and possibilities.

Dear Wonderful Reader,

“LIFE IS SO beautiful. So full of magic and possibilities. When Billy died, I thought that my story had come to an end. But I was wrong.

Joe helped me to find something I had lost along the way.  Something I’d once believed so strongly: that the storms of life are bound to come, but maybe even in the storms, in the loneliest  times of all, you’re never really alone.

Love is the most powerful thing on Earth. I’ve seen what it can do. And it can do amazing things. Sometimes I imagine a world where everyone knows of a love that’s unconditional. And what a beautiful world it is.

I think Billy had it right, that there truly is enough love to go around. All you have to do is share it.

What is God’s love is like the sun constant and unchanging? What if you woke up one day and realized…nothing can take away?”

P.S. Watch this life-transforming movie as soon as you can. Also there is a book version!
