Mixed Feelings

Today is Wednesday, October 29, 2025 and it’s that time of year everyone is falling sick! I’ve been down with a cold since Saturday and everyday I wake up saying ‘today I’ll be better inshalla’ but unfortunately, I’m not. Boohoo. It’s never fun when you’re sick…Although the one thing I noticed this time is that I’m not as bad as I usually get when I’ve been falling sick lately الحمد لله. Maybe it’s because I’ve redcued my immunosupressant dose or maybe it just didn’t hit me as hard as it usually does…Either way I’m glad it’s just congestion, sneezing, headaches and not fevers, body aches or worse! This too shall pass.

While a part of me has been feeling down because of my cold this week, another part of me has been really excited (and maybe slightly nervous). Let me explain…I finally went pubic yesterday on Instagram promoting my coaching services! Woohoo! Keep in mind I’ve been off social media since 2016 so there was some reluctance in putting myself out there again. But the support and feedback from friends and family has been truly overwhelming and super encouraging الحمد لله. I have to say, I’m proud of myself for coming this far, for evolving into the person I am today, for being easy going, open, and accepting. This didn’t happen overnight but I’m happy it’s happening. Small steps, big (internal) impact.

اللهم يسر ولا تعسر، ووفقني لطاعتك. اللهم إنّي أسألك خير المسألة، وخير الدعاء، وخير النجاح، وخير العمل.
