A Calm Moment In All The Madness..

For the last two days I have been totally stressed out...work, deadlines, family...it can definitely take its toll on a soul (hey, that rhymes!)..
I just received this email from my aunt in New York..attached was this rare photo that was taken a few days ago at the North Pole of the sun setting with the moon above it. As soon as I looked at this photo I began to feel some calmness again Alhamdolillah...it is truly amazing how the Creator's gifts can be so awesome and can provide so much comfort to a soul.

Etsy Twitter Team Shop Of The Week!

This week's spotlight is on MindyG's Shop! I can already see that MindyG's jewelry boutique will by one of my favorites! When you look around her shop you will find many breathtaking pieces with gems like quartz, abalone, and pearls! Her craftsmanship is second to none and I can't wait until I get to own one of her original designs!

Temporarily HOMELESS...

It's been raining like crazy here in Dallas....so much to where there are many stationary puddles in the backyard, forcing many underground creatures to evacuate their homes. My kids noticed this foot long earthworm on the patio and I was simply amazed at how long that thing was! Back in Chicago, I remember walking to grade school in the rain and trying not to step on the many worms that were on the wet sidewalks. None of them were this long! Here in Texas I really haven't noticed any worms until recently.


Hopefully this big guy made it safely to a new home!

Introducing.....RIJAAL

What is RIJAAL you say? It's simply an arabic word for 'men' and it utterly describes my new line of accessories (and hopefully clothing) for men!


When you visit my Etsy Shop there's a section called "RIJAAL" that holds items that cater to men! Currently the selection includes gloves, hats and scarves/neckwarmers for men...I've gotten a pretty good response on my men's items so far so hopefully I can keep up the momentum and continue adding at least one item per week. Keep an eye out for this one, because it's gonna get SPICY!!

THE JEWEL..Thoughts From The Soul..

My Thought Of The Day...
" A jewel is like a star....it is only considered precious if it can be thought of, admired and hoped for from afar...only attainable by one special soul to enjoy. HOWEVER if it is brought close and totally revealed of all its splendor and numerous eyes have seen it and several hands have touched it and many hearts lust for it, it is no longer precious to that one special person who it was truly meant for.....it becomes a common, ordinary, cheap adornment...and the one who attains it feels cheated...they no longer have something precious....they settled for less.."
