Charity is Contagious

As Salamu Alaykum! (peace be to you)
Hey, today I'll be talking about charity, ways we can help eachother.
Here are the ways:

1. Smile. :) Yes, even a smile is charity! When you smile, it means contentment, happiness, so when you smile at someone, it makes them feel happy too. Who knows who's day you will make! Even as newborns, we knew how to smile. A smile is like your heart showing its glow. Sometimes if you look close enough, you really can see a glow.

2. Give someone a hand. Sometimes that can even be an applause literally. lol help them with their grocceries, open the door for them, and many other ways to ease someone's difficulties.
Why not give someone yet another reason to smile?

3. Donations. The poor and needy are no less human than any other human being. (p.s. to muslims. Just thinking of wanting to help soemone, even if you couldn't go to say, africa or other needy countries, earns you a reward! Ma Sha Allah!)
Not just humans can be great to help, but animals, such as at the humane society. You can help by donating your old clothing, giving food, toys for children and animals. It doesn't have to start or end at money. :)

Did you take your medicine today?

As Salam u alykum! :) ( peace be to you.)

I'm going to try and write a note each week, aiming to place a smile on your faces, and share any knowledge i can with you all. first off some ''medicine'' for anyone who's not feeling all there, with a huge helping dose of funny. :P

oh, do you have a fever? i see you're not feeling well... here's my own perscription, via dr Sahira! ( note, i am not a licensed doctor, this is only my reccommendations. your smiles and laughter may vary. may have side affects of feeling special and thinking things corny.) lol

Everday medicine!

take one spoon of smiles repeat if neccessary, i.e. it is neccassary. no grumpy wumpies!

take one hug, you will need a loved one, does not include yourself, unless no one sees you.

if you have a pet say awwwww when they d o/ are made to do something cute, or watch a video of cute animals. will not cause drowsiness, may cause an overload in cuteness. Don't worry you will not explode. may cause a fit of giggling.

offer salat.(prayer. 5 times. time varies from 5 to 20 peaceful, refreshing minutes.) You will be blissful. may lead to staying on forehead for long time, ;) great for blood circulation for the brain, you need it after all the cuteness. :} May cause sweet day dreaming and refreshed spirit.

Tell and show your friends, your family and spouse how much you care about them and love them. don't keep mentioning to them every second but, minumum is 5 maximum times is 100. ♥

Read a nice book, with happy moments, reccommended: The book of awesome, the book of even more aweome showing you every small things is important and awesome! , poetry, lines of emotions and thoughts, a beautiful atristry of a human psyche. The Glorious Quran, a light for a path of darkness, a mercy in your day, if you encounter mishappenings, brilliant poetic revelations of mercy, love, quality, astronomy, finance, human psychology, law, beauty, purity = your 101 for your daily way of life, love it, love it , love it x a million, billion, googleplex! googleplex is a number by the way, nothing come s after it apparantely. ;)

give someone a nice gift, includes: giftcards, dinner, saying Hi, jewlery, peace of mind, calling them more often, being nice, stop following them everywhere and being clingy/ not clingy.

Give yourslef atleast 20 to 30 mins to sit, rellax and reflect upon your day. great time for scheming who you will annoy tomorrow with your jokes, eat the last chocolate cookie, and count how many times people told you you are annoying, special, sweet... and thinking of when they'll tell you something you don't already know.

Think of Allah (God) Subhanah wa Ta Allah, and how every breath and every day he gives you is his love and mercy to you. tomorrow is not promised, its a wish, be thankful for your wish come true! :)

for all the things you have: The food you eat, while others might be starving, the shelter you have, while some might be cold and wandering. Your eyes, ears, and limbs, some people are blind, deaf, or miss a limb......

for your day where you own so much! all that is yours, so cherish it. :) and don't steal candy from babies, unless you like being smacked in the face with a purse.

Look at all the creations around you. the beautiful trees, fruits, rain, snow, animals, shining stars, breathtaking skies, ear plugs, for when your neighbours get too loud, all amazing.

YOU are amazing. take moments to realize YOU. you're features, your facial features are 1 in billions, your DNA, 1 in billions, your beauty marks: ( people call them flaws, but i'd rather not.) which make you special. YOU were created with love, with tender care, with a great responsibility and honor to take care of the earth, the animals, humankind, YOUrself and be thankful for life.

Take these medicines, unlimited times daily. no fear of overdosing, except for the choclate cookies. Not my fault. lol

Countdown

Have you ever felt like you were looking through the eyes of a stranger? Everything around you looks so different. The people seem more dimensional, the sky a lot less closer, and your heart and mind open. That's what i felt like after starting to realize my ability to write poetry. The small things in life which you gain, or lose, break or mend, they create who you are. Now, as time progresses i'm realizing how important our character and our actions really are. I'm concentrating on striving to stay pure hearted. Always to be kind, always to respect and always be accepting, so allong this path in this world i can have patience.

Let's shake that serious tone for now. hahah. :P I'm counting down the time to when my Book Bittersweet will be published by a publishing press. I was told, this Tuesday!

FIrelight

A girl with a luminous pale green eye with scales feathered out from it. Firey red hair and a look of slight angst on her face. It's the cover of a new novel in Sophie's paranomal the Draki YA series, Firelight. She's a new author to me, and anything about creatures and dangerous twists always get's me hooked!




I think we've had enough of vampires and werewolves now haven't we? In no way am i saying i don't like those mysertious and alluring paranormal creatures, but when they're used so much, you crave something more creative. And from this book, you have it. A new generation, and it may have been influenced from 'the girl with the dragon tattoo', but that's just me. :P here's the description of the book on Sophie's site:

'With her rare ability to breathe fire, Jacinda is special even among the draki—the descendants of dragons who can shift between human and dragon forms. But when Jacinda’s rebelliousness leads her family to flee into the human world, she struggles to adapt, even as her draki spirit fades. The one thing that revives it is Will, whose family hunts her kind. Jacinda can’t resist getting closer to him, even though she knows she’s risking not only her life but the draki’s most closely guarded secret '

It won't be out until September 7 2010, so for now all I can do is admire the cover. When it does come out, you can be sure i'm buying it. :) And, i'll have a hot review on it to.

Third Book!

I actually stopped writing poetry for a while...* hears gasping.* I know, bad move. Lol but I wasn't feeling inspired in any way. Music seemed to just annoy me and life's stress was making me pretty tired. Now, it's different. Those very stresses and changes in my life help me to write poems and form those soul stretchers turn into lyrical works of ink. :P

It was my Birthday on the 24th by the way! I'm having a party real soon so I'm really excited. :)

I'm working on a 3rd Book! So far I have about 12 poems. I have alot going on besides writing more. I have flyers to send out to local book enthusiasts and stores. I have many contacts to well contact this month. A publisher a bookstore manager and many of my friends wanting a book. :)
I hope everyone's summer is going well and that you are having an awesome time!
I'll update about The publisher and Hot Ice (my second book) as soon as I get Information on them. Wish me luck! Thanks for your support eveyone.

Thankful randomness

You're probably thinking, "she's gonna say we know she hasn't posted for a long time now, but she was really busy"... then, your wrong. Lol I was just lazy. Haha. ;)

So this month I have my eyes on my flyer! I already have a design. I just need to print and distribute it. Then I'll be going around downtown, yeeaaah. * puts on cool shades* giving them out. Lastly I'll be heading to Chapters and try to sell Bittersweet at their one of many locations in Ottawa. Pretty busy. I'll update soon, I'm off to bed, eventually. Peace!
