Word of the Year 2020 - T H R I V E !

My Word of the year 2020

T H R I V E !

This year my focus is on 3 areas of my life. 

Spirituality. Family. Creativity. 

Family

Becoming a parent has shown me a lot of my own flaws. We expect our children to do better than we do, but for them to do better, WE have to become exemplary role models. 

I'd like to be calmer and more present.

Cutting down on house chores so I can play, read and teach my children. 

Going outside with them more often. More hand on activities. More laughter. Create more Memories for us.

Creativity

I want this Blog to grow. I want this to grow in silence and speak for itself. I want this blog to become a place on which I document my life experience. I want this blog to become a place of inspiration and joy. 

By the end of this year I would like to call myself a writer. 

Furthermore I'd like to start creating more. Painting. Calligraphy. Sewing. Everything.

Spirituality By the end of this year I aspire to be punctual and regular in my 5 daily prayers. Since the birth of my first child I have been combining my prayers on a regular basis and I've gotten into the habit of praying 3 times a day instead of 5.  I'd like to be praying Tahajjud every week at least 2-3x a week.  In my thinking if I get my prayers straight, inshAllah (if God wills so) the rest will follow.
