Monday Blessings #4: Summer!

Assalaamu Alaikum sisters!

My number one blessing: summer! No school for a little while :)

{I finally got my much needed dr. appointment even though it was a little overwhelming}

{I'm no longer a junior, but a senior! I'll be 18 in less than 2 weeks!}

{I have all the time I want to work on my much waited novel and improve as a Muslima and person}

{My mother with her strength and encouraging words for me}

{Last but not least, Allah's words. "With hardship comes ease." & "He doesn't burden a soul with more than it can hold." & "He made everyone in there best form."}

Alhamdulillah :D

I used to be insecure about traditional publishing, that no one with accept my writing. Then I heard of self publishing. Yet that added to my insecurities. I have no money or talent to showcase my writing. After IndieReCon I felt a better, yet once the high went away, I find it's only a little bit better. I need a team, I need help.
