“I wish you were here… Only now, I wish you were here… In the cold, I wish you were here… In the storm, I wish you were here… In the house, I wish you were here… Grabbing a cup of tea together, I wish you were here… Enjoying the warmth of the fireplace, I wish you were here… To argue, and reconcile, I wish you were here… To make memories, and sit together and laugh about those days, I wish you were here… To have you, I wish you were here…
I know you are not here, and no one is here; readers out there, hold on to those worth saying to I wish you were here, love is precious, and, it comes in different forms!” #MOI, I wish you were here…

“What does it take to please a woman? Well, I tell, out of the experience, it is easier than one could think! Age is important, and relevant to the need, but we all want the same thing. Probably, there is a priority, acts that come one after the other, but basically, it’s always the same package.
A man approached me via Facebook messenger. Usually, when I receive a friend request, I check how long he has been on social media, his posts, whether he has extreme affiliations and statuses, I try to understand his character from his posts, whether he ever posted real photos or has a famous person as his own photo, I try to see whether he has men among his friends or whether he is collecting women, I check the comments on his posts and common friends, and if he passes, I accept the friendship request with my policy of innocent until proven guilty and reservation in communication! I usually do not extend to phone communication but after few attempts, having common friends, I decided to speak to him. Hello, Hello… Of course, he was married, with the version of living under the same roof, different rooms, still together for the sake of the children. I am not yet giving you my opinion on that, I am simply reporting facts. When I knew and directly guessed he was married, I pulled back; of course, he was complimenting me for being a strong woman, beautiful, and how much he admires my posts… to me, the conversation ended when I guessed he was married. He tried to push the conversation talking about me, so I told him, you appreciate strong woman, does that mean you are going to answer and accept my words, his answer was yes! so I started, you know, I wish you invest the time while talking to me on your wife, instead of wasting it on a stranger! Marriage is a business investment in the family you dreamed about, and as you have expectations from your wife, she does too. He answered offensively, I come home tired, with a lot on my mind, bla bla, and she is not there to… I said to what? he wanted to take the conversation in the intimate direction thinking he would intimidate me, so I asked when was the last time you offered your wife a flower, he answered I always do on Mother’s Day, because the woman is first and last a mother, I treat her as I treat my mother; I stopped him, I said you have an intimate relationship with your wife, your respect her motherhood, but you have to treat her as a woman… He cut the conversation, made the mistake of admitting the flower was one of the fights they argued about, and then when I told him that many times the couple forget they are husband and wife, and they need to work on each other to keep the sparkle of passion alive, he claimed he received a visitor and hung up!
To say no more, relationships are an investment, and it is up to the couple to make them succeed. I am not saying there are no blocked endings, I am saying if one wants to invest in love, the partner has the priority! This topic is a long debate, that comes in different versions, but this was one out of many!” #MOI when it comes to love, invest in passion!

For a special man on his special day… What is your age?!
As children, we play, we laugh, we run around and loud… As teenagers, we start thinking and planning, we dream… Before we know it, we are young adults, and feel responsible… Before we know it, life strikes us with responsibilities, some we adopt and others we embrace… & then, like the days of the week, life repeats itself, but the dates become different… Like a book we read again, situations are identical, but our views, perceptions and reactions become different… & That is life… day, week, year, decade after decade, it scrolls but… Is age measured but the number of days lived so far, or…
We live in a rush, we rush to succeed, we succeed to provide, we provide to ensure continuity, we ensure continuity because we want our loved ones to live happy, happily, and happier but… What is your age…
Your age… it is the number of memories you lived, it is the number of smiles you lived, it is the number of happy thoughts you had, it is the number of hurdles you survived, it is the number of advices you gave, it is the number of tears you wiped for others, it is the number of hands you held for people to stand again, it is the number of steps you walked people through, It is the number of… blessings and faithful moments you had… So what is your age? Count your blessings… So what is your age? For some people, they don’t have time to count… it’s the blessings of others around them to count it for them!
God bless you, and blessed us with someone like YOU!
Lots of love #MOI Badiaa Happy Birthday to You A special note, for a special person, on his special day!

“The <I do> thought is the dream of all girls, it starts at young age, it’s about the dress, the ring, the veil, the flowers, the music, the first dance, the cake, the crowd… It’s the vision of the prince, on the white horse, the kiss, the way he held my hand, the way he grabbed me on the dancing floor… Sometimes it goes beyond, to the dream of the house, the garden, the walk-in closet, the car… The girls grow, reality falls in, like darkness some of their nights become lightless, and like the thunders in the skies their dreams start turning foggy and their priorities changing…
With time, the dream starts turning into reality, and the glamourous I DO turns into LET’S BE TOGETHER. Simple, the dream of eternal love will dress a different gown, white it shall remain, but the prince becomes real, and the first dance will have a different music…
The difference between the dream of a young girl and the reality when grown, is that true love after the many heartbreaking experiences, that girl will learn that true love does not mean eternal peace, but rather standing by each other to reach it. We, people, men, and women, are different, but we all want love, a hand to hold when we share the pillow at night, and an I DO!”
#MOI When the dream becomes about the person and not the wedding, we can simply build a home instead of a house!

*Mommy, I am a PACER! Book by #MOI because I believe that children are the future, the change…
I do admit that I want Love, I do admit that I want to be loved, I do admit that I want to offer my love, But… do we dare, again!
At a specific age, we look at love differently, whether offered or received, we treat love differently. At a specific age, we reach a point of no shyness, we learn to speak up, to ask for what we want and what we need, and we learn to offer beyond our standard norm. At a specific age, we appreciate time, and start being appreciative of every step. At a specific age, we learn that love is physical, emotional, and attitude. At a specific age, we learn that the next one should have the know-how. At a specific age, we want to be treated the way we want, the way we deserve, and the way we like. At a specific age, we want love, again, our way.” #MOI Am I a woman or a man?

“There are actions in life that scar forever, and few among many, they lead to impacting one’s future, resulting, and without one knowing, to instability in relationships… Are you one of them? men or women? Are you causing them? father or mother? Are you denying them? son or daughter? Are you not talking about them? partner? Does your ego stand in the way of acknowledging emotional pain? Well, let’s discuss few points… Did you ever feel that a parent or partner is not asking about you? Did you ever feel that a parent or partner is not looking for you? Did you ever feel that a parent or partner is not standing for you? Did you ever miss someone hugging you or holding your hand? Did you ever feel that you were not supported irrespectively of any actions? Did you ever cry in silence?
When you know there is a gap, you have to believe it. When something odd happens, do not take the blame simply to downplay situations. When you are feeling low, intimidated, belittled, ignored, denied love, or respect, or attention, do not justify other’s actions, do not blame yourself, and do not enclose those emotions. You may decide to confront, or runaway… You may decide to forgive, or ignore… You may decide to stand for yourself, or for others undergoing same situations, or not… Not matter how strong one is on the inside, the emotions a parent or partner caused are real. One can chose to build imaginary braces to hold them together, but, they need to remember what happened, and try to understand why they feel this way… YOU ARE NOT TRUSTING YOURSELF or YOUR PARTNER, and YOU ARE ALONE.
WELL, OTHERS’ ACTIONS CAUSED DAMAGE TO YOUR SAFETY SHIELD, NOT ONLY YOU ARE NOT TRUSTING OTHER’S LOVE but as well, YOU ARE NOT TRUSTING THAT YOU ARE WORTHY OF LOVE and ARE CAPABLE OF LOVING!” #MOI Speak Up, if not for you, for those going through emotional pain! #Pain discussed is one among many, can you imagine how one could be feeling right now?!

“I found myself this Holiday stretched between two extremes of emotions, extreme love & that is me, and extreme hatred, and definitely not me! I am a giving person, I love unconditionally, I give abundantly, and I promote peace naturally. I believe that love can revive a dead soul as mentioned in my book WHERE IS MY ANGEL?, I see giving as a changing step in the life of others around me, and I see that promoting peace shall eventually change the world, and twist people’s reaction, and eventually, their actions. I believe in communication skills, the root of my short stories book for children MOMMY, I AM A PACER!, I believe that any conflict could be solved when communicated, when discussed, with empathy, and rationalism, but mainly discussed and not ignored. But, I am sad, feeling this anger, and hatred, no, it is affecting my performance, nor my loving character, or my giving nature, or my peaceful nature, yet it is affecting my emotional status towards those who played an unfair role towards me! Why suddenly, no it was not sudden, I believe it has been a dormant feeling, that laid deep down, not dealt with or faced, I see myself having this feeling as I decided lately to express my grandeur(with all modesty) to myself, not selling myself cheap, in my eyes before others, as I believe, of myself, and see myself, as a successful achiever, full stop. When you know who you are, your potential, your true self, and admit it to yourself, you place yourself in a zero tolerance attitude towards mistreatment and belittlement. Why this anger and hatred though? If I know the facts, and all the strategies, that is what is bothering me, towards specific people? Well, I know, it is untreated emotions, I will not affect the person whom I am towards others, and will not jeopardize my nature, but yet, it brings tears to my broken heart towards a phase I need to mentalize! Now that I shared it with you, I hope you probably understand me, I try to empathize with those who wronged me, but will it ever mend my broken heart? In the past, I forgave those mentioned, but why not now? Dear God, I pray you help me manage my feelings, by replacing anger with peace to my heart, and hatred with love towards others, as I dislike my thoughts and feelings!” #MOI apologies for my sincerity
