Doing what you love is NOT selfish

So many of us feel frustrated. We do things we don't like and believe that it's being the harsh reality of life. We lie to ourselves saying that 'things have changed', 'it's impossible' and living in the past with our best-friend phrases 'I wish I could', 'If only' etc. We are so consumed by what others think yet we do care very little about what we think. It seems like other people's opinions have so much power on us and that our lives depend on whether the world approves of our thoughts and decisions. While trying to please others, we loose our soul, spirit and sometimes heart. We decide to put our happiness in their hands and pray for their consent. Life's truly too short to be wasted and I am a fervent believer that there's a way to every problem and situation. If your heart tells you that you should be doing something and it occupies your mind, then this should not be overlooked. As long as it's noble and not hurt...

Getting angry and yelling in public. Time to learn to let go...

Last Saturday, I was with my boy at the orthoptist.  It was an appointment neither I or my son wanted to go to.

They brought a magazine to occupy him while waiting. She read and explained each exercise. They were the only ones talking in the waiting room. I guess the rest of us were still asleep. At some point, a man asked her to keep it down as he said it was too loud. After a few exchanged words, she continued reading as she wishes. She considered that she didn't disturb anyone and continued as she wanted, The man didn't hesitate to ask her again to keep it down. All of the sudden, it seemed like a monster came out of the woman. She started screaming and yelling. Everybody wa...

Meet children of Shatila refugee camp

I am so pleased, beyond happy to FINALLY publish this video. This is one of the projects that I have had for months on my to-do list but never got around to doing it. It was mostly because of the footage which I had to retrieve from a damaged CD. I tried many times transferring the content to my computer and had it jammed several times. After much frustration, last week, I took the CD to a photo laboratory. They managed the whole process smoothly, thing I should have done sooner. Today, I finally finished the editing of the video. I have to say that this brought back so many memories. My visit to the Shatila camp was so moving. My facial expressions can show that in the video. Before that, I have heard about the camp in the news. But being there is a total different story. At the time the video was filmed, I was living in London. My reality had nothing to do with these Palestinian kids' reality. While I was dreaming of running a successful business. They were dreaming of havi...
