http://pratergroup.co.uk/wp-json/oembed/1.0/embed?url=http://pratergroup.co.uk/contact-us/ Asalaamu Alaikum! I think I’m an adult now. Or, at least, I’m supposed to be. I know it’s been forever since I’ve put up a blog post. Forever is quite the understatement. I promised more updates and lots more about my adventures in Palestine last fall, but time has literally escaped from my hands. I haven’t touched my travel pictures… Read more →

Asalaamu Alaikum! I have been trying to find a legit place to study, or rather write, since I started applying for my MFA last year. I have always known about Cosmo’s Coffee Café in downtown La Mesa but I also know that parking sucks. You only get two hour meter parking before you have to pack up your belongings, run… Read more →
Asalaamu Alaikum wa RahmatuAllahi wa Barakatuhu! (Peace be unto you and so may the mercy of Allah and His blessings or, as more commonly said, May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be with you.) I think that’s a good way to start my new blog, with peace. When I was younger, I used to have a blog. It… Read more →
