♥About Me♥

Assalamu Alilkum Wa Rahmatulah Wa Barakatuh (May the Peace, Blessings and Love of God be upon you)

Thanks for stopping by! this is my “blog profile” if you will.

To contact me regarding Islam, life, or general questions on anything here or how to get in contact with an Islamic center  please e mail me at

To contact me regarding home school questions or help getting started, please go to the Home school tab for that information.

I’m damaged goods, but still living Alhamdulilah (that means Thank God or by the grace of God or only for Allah depending on how you use it) I’ve been broken, been to the bottom and can only go up InshaAllah (God willing), I am a optimistic, funny, sarcastic, trying to be happy go lucky, and by God succeeding at it mostly, silly, Religious, witty, fussy, goofy, God Fearing, Mexican American, mommy, part time professional employee, Kindergarten Home Schooler to my five  year old daughter,  I have been home schooling for a year now. I started doing pre school and now we are doing Kg studies. I just went back to College again-I really-don’t want too do my homework old lady type-a grieving mommy, sister, daughter, and a relatively brand new Muslim living in America!!…I know huh? What the heck!? Well…….


hahahaha no seriously. My mom was Irish American with a bit Native American and my Dad Mexican.  My grandma & aunts tried to help raise us to so that’s how I learned Spanish, Religion (not this one) morals, values and a bunch of other things. We came out like this :)

The reason I made this blog page even though I have an old one I hardly ever use (GTWL) against Domestic Violence, and one for homeschooling; I need to just delete, is because I am finding myself not only doing less things I use to so called love, but disliking many things and changing.


I want to document my journey through Islam and my changes and InshaAllah even add old stuff from a few years ago (later, once I get this one going and keep up with it) when I first started learning and  just gave up. SubhanaAllah(Through the greatness and power of God) though when Allah (God, the One and only) chooses someone for him you can’t hide! I am so grateful to Allah for bringing me back and making it easy for me to learn and re learn the RIGHT way. I am so grateful for the internet, all the people who never gave up; and my sisters in Islam who help me in support, prayer; duas (like prayers more of a supplication), transportation; advice, friendship; and Arabic learning. You all know who you are JazakaAllah Khair.

I have been through many things and still go through some hardships but somehow it doesn’t bother me like it used to, I have my days.

The things I never wanted to do and said “I can’t” to are becoming easy and non significant!


Where will this journey head? Who knows……

    As Salaam Alaikum,

    I came visiting you via Molly’s blog. I love what you wrote and became emotional at this quote:

    “The one who can bow down to Allah can stand up to anything.”

    Wow.

    I love that quote.

    I’ll visit often, InshaAllah.

      Assalamu Alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu MaryAnn, I know what you mean; I guess it just touches “us” when we are at that level of understanding and finally getting “it”.

      Thank you for liking my cluttery mess of a blog which shows how I am inside, a cluttery mess ;)
      I’ll keep updated with your gorgeous blog as well, as I really like it; and the style of your writting and page design as well.

    Peace be upon you. Dear friend, Why should you hate who you have been? Who you have been, is the reason who you are today. If you hate who you were, you would probably hate anybody who is like “who you were”. Just my opinion.

    I would like to give you a gift ;

    ‘Never let your enmity for anyone lead you into the sin of deviating from justice. Always be just: that is closest to being God-fearing.’
    (al-Ma’idah 5:8)

    Peace be upon you.

    • 2009 June 8

      Walaikom Salaam Thanks for the gift, I love quotes! It’s a saying meaning you hate what you were by the sins, the behavior, the speech. I do hate peoples behaviors who were just like mine but I am fair and just and hate the sin and not the sinner.

    Asalamu alaikom

    Sister! I am from the forums not sure if you remember me but I wanted to let you know that I love your blog and I love you for the sake of Allah, thank him for blessing you with the religion of Islam and choosing you to be one of his chosen slaves. I ask Allah (Swt) that even though I live all the way in Canada that I may meet you one day if not in this life in the here-after in Jannat Firdous with Rasululah (saw) InshAllah, take care and continue being strong as muslims we are all going through difficulties make duah for me that I enter Jannah InshAllah.
