As many of my friends know, I've been having troubles for a long time. Professional and personal struggles paved my way. I've been also talking about a NEW PHASE that i should attain which would - hopefully - heal wounds and rests my spirit.

 

Well, a couple of weeks ago i decided to turn the last page, close the book and wave goodbye the old phase...it was soaking in pain that it almost changed my cheering nature into a gloomy one.

 

I have made a great risk...I'm starting my own business now, a little company of my own.

I let go of the settled well paid prestigious job to follow my passion and fulfill a dream...yesterday i was visiting Mais* blog and i read a very encouraging quote: ships may be safe at shore but that's not why ships were built.

 

Big step for the single mom everyone expected to crack two years ago.

Allah yustor!

 

I can't say i'm not scared...i am very much so but i'm also driven with my passion to go for it and take the leap while managing my time to fulfill other passions for art and community giving and most of all dedicating proper quality time for my kids.

 

I know it's hard but i'm willing to give it a wholeheartedly try.

 

As I write this the curtain guy is probably half way there to deliver the office curtains.

With everything else delivered, i'm waiting for the designer also to finish the Logo.

I gotta start looking for someone to take care of the site and domain.

 

Official work around the office - views the Nile by the way :) - will start tomorrow Inshallah...Interviews day.

 

Last Thursday was the memory of one year since my father died...my beloved dad who fills my life with his kind heart and great passion...Allah yer7amoh...I feel so fortunate that I have a legacy to follow...the way people loved his kindness and how he expressed his soul through his art just inspires me to follow that.

I chose not to make his memory a day of sadness as it rests in my heart anyway only because i miss him so much...Instead, I just went through his life and made as much do3aa as i could. 

 

As for the personal aspect...it's really strange that somehow i've been stopping the wallowing on memories and heartaches.

Emotions carve my name but i won't let them break me...i don't need any dwelling now...i will intentionally disregard it.

 

Please wish me luck and remember me in your prayers.
