Even the skies have two faces for what is having one face if you did not get to know the other? How do you choose good from bad if you don’t know the bad? How do you distinguish love from anything else if you haven’t try anything else? How do you know high when you have never been so low? Let life treat you the way it should without holding any grudges just try your very best to be true to yourself & to others… How will the skies turn into colors if they don’t experience sunset nor sunrise? How will you tell the difference if you never watch them? How do you get to know yourself if you never try to free yourself from your own thoughts? Even the skies sing under the rain, the moon sings under the shadows, the sun sings under the clouds & the rainbow rises above the skies, so free yourself to dance, dance to life, be faithful to your true self be honest to your soul, be genuine to those who give you a hand to climb your own stairs up and rise upon the miracles of life.
We look at our lives & judge it to be so similar or so different… Each one of us sees things differently, depending on; self goals, self confidence, self interest & self benefit or we look at it in mutual compromise, mutual interests, mutual understandings or what would impress you, what you wish to hear or what you find more suitable. At the end of the day: we open our eye lids to only see, what satisfies our inner self. But what about our ThirdEye ? What does it really feel? Because it sees through emotions, sincerity, kindness it is the souls eye, it is the inner heart. The only truth. The right feeling. I think it is time to close the eye lids & open the third eye. Or keep all three open. But use ur third eye for direction. For a FreePalestine
We start and end at starting lines. Every second is a new starting line. We can choose to start or end as we go. We can change directions, we can try different roads, we can always return or drive back, but we can not guarantee finding things to remain the same. And sometimes they can be even better than before. We can not expect. We can not overpower ourselves to what is unknown, this will always lead us to disappointment. We must give up all expectations and demands to life, we should ask with kindness, look with hope, accept with compassion. Whenever it is hard we later reach a point we feel blessed & grateful. So stop wasting ur time just standing there where u r… Move forward, or backward, try different things until things work out for you, don’t be too fixed with one thought. Be open to things that might be even much better. 
I still can not say what is it that I find fascinating about baking and food styling. Click here for the full Recipe and post.

It all exists in the here & the now. That sound of beauty that we all leen towards or long for, it is right here all around. A beautiful journey is a journey one is aware of, awakened to see, alerted to feel. A journey is a journey once it is noticed. Faith of the outcome is a choice, unknown? Or granted? Your belief system is a choice. Do you wish your journey to be beautiful? Do you want to be aware of it? Do you want to have a choice?
Here is how to make the vegetarian Levantine salad Tabbouleh and how to make it gluten-free:
Tabouleh is a classic. Every Middle Eastern make it regularly at home, and is often found in every Middle Eastern restaurant. It is an easy recipe but also needs the right ingredients for the best juicing. And what is a salad without the right juice?
Tabouleh is made of parsley, tomatoes and burgul, which stand for bulgur “cracked wheat”. Recently, some people prefer to make it light and replace burgul with quinoa, which is a way to keep your tabbouleh vegetarian and gluten-free.
I had no idea that there was a Tabbouleh day celebrated in Lebanon since 2001. This is actually incredible, sounds like so much fun. I am not sure how active this day is, but I sure think it should grow and become not only popular in Lebanon, but in the Levante area all along. It can connect all brilliant Tabbouleh makers and create a fantastic day feeding people Tabbouleh made from beautiful Arab chefs. For more information on the National Tabbouleh day click here.
Food Styling
When I decided to photograph my Tabbouleh, I wanted to make it feel super authentic, traditional, and ancient. This is when the images of wood, brown, and natural elements came to my mind. Wood is so rich… read more

It is Okay – Remember where ever you are, what ever it is, it is going to be okay. We sometimes need to stumble upon a stone and trip to remember how we are, who we are & how we act when things are difficult. No matter what, how long or how difficult it is, always remember that it is going to end up being okay. Just breath, and believe & try to be aware of your senses. Keep calm, keep going & keep a hopeful thought, miracles do happen.
The more I live… The more I want to learn how to love, learn how to live, leave how to give… The more I live the more I want to be who I truly am, the more I want to self discover… The more I live the more I want to live those moments when I am awake to watch the sunrise when I am on the highest hills to watch the sun set the more I want to be in serendipity with myself to discover my deepest passions… The more I live the more I discover how simple this life is, how the most natural moments r my happiest moments and the more I learn, I learn that knowledge is only best when shared… Being Grateful 💜
