“Reading books aloud to children stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding of the world. It helps them develop language and listening skills and prepares them to understand the written word.” by https://www.readingrockets.org/article/reading-your-child
MOMMY, I AM A PACER the story of Perseverance: FRIENDS ARE SPECIAL I recall once I was reading with a child, he was supposed to illustrate, but instead, he took a tissue to wipe the tear off Amber’s face! Imagination… the power of a book!
“& day 1, 2022 ended, let’s roll the beads… It is time to accept that the party is over, it’s time to collect our thoughts.
2022 Diary Day 2 Living with my thoughts, working on myself to accept the physical distance separating me from my daughters, I was devastated and anxious because my daughter had food poisoning and I could not be with her. Life, I know you may say, it’s just a passing case, but I had a lot to think about; although she was well taken care of by her boyfriend, yet, it was difficult on me, the guilt feeling of not being with her.
& then the past haunted me, reflected in the post I had on Instagram to launch the year, about holding a grudge and forgiveness. A very deep argument and dilemma knowing I always try to understand people’s actions and deal with them: *can we let go of pain caused by others? *can we forget a pain caused by others? *can we ignore a pain caused by others? Well, depending on the person that caused the pain, our relationship, and their reaction after declaring that we were hurt, this will explain a lot.
Everyone tend to forget or ignore that sometimes the cup might look empty but it would be full of emotions ready to explode! Not every time is your time to stay silent, and swallow your pain, and pretend a specific action never happened… Not every time you can accept to be wrongfully treated… Not every time you have to be the cup, sometimes you have to be the content, you have to speak, revolt, react…
So, if I let go of painful events, I do that for me. I believe that people need to act toward their actions. We cannot un-do or un-say, but we can at least face the person we hurt, yet unintentionally, we should stand by each other for emotional maintenance.
I always say, no one is born with a cup full of pain, but not speaking up when actions stack up, will result, eventually, in a emotional outburst, unexpected, and shocking to others.
I wish I had known how to handle the past, the far past… things would have been different!” #MOI the author of the book, WHERE IS MY ANGEL? Sometimes you speak for yourself, other times you inspire others to speak!
“Diary of a fresh new year… Happy New Year Bee (for Badiaa)… May this year bring you health, wealth, and prosperity…
Day 1… I woke up full of energy, blessed the house, and prayed for God to keep an eye on myself and my loved ones. I actually added a favor… I asked for genuine love, while promising to give myself and that person a chance. Yes, I say, it’s ok to want to be in a relationship, I guess this means that my loved ones are well established and it is time to care for self.
I asked for an adventure, I am so in a phase where I feel that I have a lot to offer, and change is due. People might think, sit down and take a break, a break for me means I am no longer breathing.
I thanked HIM for my health, and promised myself to make my health a priority.
On this first day of 2022, I wish, for peace worldwide, for COVID to end, for everyone to be healthy, for happiness to take over the world, for no one to sleep hungry, for love to prosper, for anything you wish… Happy & Blessed New Year 2022 my friends… #MOI from Beirut with Love!
The last day of 2021 where I greet you good morning Wish us nicer mornings ahead The year where life as we know it ceased but kindness didn’t… I thank God for his kindness For keeping us safe For standing by us during our ordeals For giving us new opportunities… & Mostly for keeping us, together!”
Lots of Love from Dec 31, 2021… 2022 looking forward… I was well-trained by 2021 Below are some of the moments and lessons of 2021
While sleepless… I watched the most meaningful and emotional movie.
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, I guess will all grew with Mr. Rogers and watched the show, as for me, I did many times!
Wow what a sleepless night I did not regret… I was thinking, and trying to remember my childhood friend, or a toy that was special, or moments that were meaningful… it was a reminiscing night!
Let me ask you, who is your person, as a child, as adult Do you have someone in your life you wish he can understand you Do you believe kindness is the solution Do you think working on your communication can twist the outcome of a situation Do you believe forgiveness will heal you Do you think if people acknowledge the pain or situation they caused you, makes you feel better Do you believe love will heal, we I thing love can revive a dead soul Do you think words will me a difference, well my worlds in my books, did, to me, and I know they inspired many, and I know for a fact that they encouraged many to speak!
Ending with few thoughts A broken adult is stronger than a broken child those who love us, shape us, and those who hurt us shape us, but we make US, as I say always we are born to a fate but destiny is in our own hands Have a great day everyone! From the author

“Can you break the rituals… Only a few days stand between us and the new year. Those few days will define how the new year will start and be… Break your law of traditions, dare to live and say what’s on your mind, do things differently…
Do them for yourself, not to hurt others. Let the world see and get to know the TRUE & NEW YOU! #MOI & another year… Change regenerates energy!
“Every holiday, I understand the word family more! My parents taught me, that family is…
What a word, we live by, the rituals, the culture, the traditions, and mainly the years we spend investing in such word, called family!
My parents taught me, she said, family comes first, it’s all about the family! Define family, I said, and yes, truly what I believe in… But what is a family, I said. Well. it’s a group of people coming together to share the name, the household, to grow under one roof, to live together until a specific time… But who is family, I said. Well, it’s a number of people that care, and love you, no matter what, and stand by you, no matter where!
You see, I said, family is what you are born to, but you end up, with the family that care and love you!” #MOI to me family is a word with facts and realities.
Facts, we are born to one, we cannot change it… Reality, we belong to each other, because we end up making our own family!
Cheers to those who deserve being called my family, Cheers to families, wherever, you are! Blessed Holidays, & Merry Christmas to your families wherever they are!
They are the ones, my family, my daughters, Cheers to you bannoutet (girls in arabic)
