Mon Blessings #16: Begin of Jul

Hello readers,

I'm blessed that Ramadan starts tomorrow!!! And I just came back from a Muslim youth camp!! I'm on a faith boost!

Reflecting on yourself and having confidence were the two big things taken away from camp. Of course, the fast-paced made sisterhood! 

I've written so many poems, but you're going to have to wait a bit because they are under consideration for the camp's upcoming issue. 

My goals are to lessen my time on the Internet. I made a goal to go on only on the weekends. I want to read/understand the Quran and better my prayers. I want to do little things like exercise and watch the sunrise and help my mom. 

Love, Fida

Upcoming Poetry Reads of 2021, Part 2

How to Bloom By Tatyana White Jenkins A collection of poems about the enthralling, complex, grueling, and beautiful journey of growth. April The Gravity Inside Us By Chloe Frayne  An ode to whatever it is we carry that pulls us in and out of place, and speaks so insistently of fate. The Medicine That Burns by Molly S Hillery It is a raw declaration on what a life of trauma can look like after the dust settles and the poems have happy endings.
