Whenever I’m super busy writing I do little to no blogging. I just can’t. I think the well only holds so much creativity and between family obligations (of which there are MANY!) and just basic work, I haven’t had time.

Who could have foretold this pandemic would have such an impact on our lives?

And who could have imagined that I could emerge through this difficulty in tact.

Certainly not me.

Whenever there’s been hard times, I and my family have struggled and yet this time nope.

We’re okay, alhamdu lillah. More than okay. And it makes me feel a bit guilty.

And as a result I give a little more in charity.

There are a lot of people suffering.

And while I have little sympathy for the unvaccinated that end up in ICU’s I do pity those who are struggling to put food on the table.

It’s time to tighten our belts and lend a helping hand.

Wouldn’t we want others to help us if we were in need?

God tests us in many ways.

Step up to the occasion.
