I was reading a bit about Zen. Zen is an experientially finding one’s true self and the effort to identify that true self, which was found. Put very simply, Zen is the search and interpretation of one’s true self. It is no overestimation to say that that is Zen in its entirety. The purpose of Zen is, in the final analysis, the self and nothing else except the self. Having a bad day? It happens. Having your day go from good to bad because you spilled your coffee? Not okay! Don’t let an unconscious state of mind happen to you. 10 rules for staying Zen: 1. Let go of comparing 2. Let go of competing 3. Let go of judgments 4. Let go of anger 5. Let go of regrets 6. Let go of worrying 7. Let go of blame 8. Let go of guilt 9. Let go of fear 10. Laugh at least once a day ( especially if it’s about your inability to let go of any or all of the above! ) Namaste, Lady Breeze

"إليك قول رجل مجرب قال: من غيرة الحق أن لم يجعل لأحد إليه طريقا، ولم يؤيس أحدا من الوصول إليه، وترك الخلق في مفاوز التحير يركضون، وفي بحار الظن يغرقون، فمن ظن أنه واصل فاصله، ومن ظن أنه فاصل تاه، فلا وصول ولا مهرب عنه، ولا بد منه." نجيب محفوظ - ليالى ألف ليلة

If you are an Egyptian or living in Egypt, you probably came across this statement:  “Listen your Obama, we are Egyptian women. You are, listen Obama, Shut up your mouse, shut up your mouse Obama! Sisi, yes, Sisi, yes. Morsi, no, Morsi, no.”   If you never heard of it you can watch this video to have a clearer overview: Mona Al- Beheiri, an Egyptian underprivileged woman  expresses her dissent, in a broken poor English and heavy Egyptian accent during the presidential elections in early 2014. Many people started to mock her on her poor English more over some folks believe she reflects the image of an uneducated and ignorant Egyptian women. Few days ago she appeared in the Arabs Got Talent Show for approximately 30 seconds and she was rejected. Some people say that someone made her turn up at that show, but that is not the problem. People left everything and started to feel ashamed and mocking her. Al- Beheiri is being used for chea...

I just finished reading “ Adultery ” by Paulo Coelho . Honestly, I can't believe this is written by the same man who wrote one of my favorite novels. Utterly shocking and incredibly disappointing. I read the entire book, because I was waiting for it to get better, but it never happened. In this story, Coelho shows the monster, that resides in us to come up for revenge. Through the life of the main character, feelings of dissatisfaction and inadequacy come to surface... if her life is so perfect, surrounded by people she love and love her, has the perfect husband and children and successful in her work... why is she so unhappy? Because, deep down, she felt there must be something else to all that sense of the perfect life she was living... Letting the monster inside her to come out, is something forbidden, horrible, and dirty. But through the monster, she returns back from the forbidden adventure as a stronger woman, a better person, a renewed soul. From my point of...

I have been reading in the past three hours and half and felt I want to write and reflect down before I go to bed.  I always feel when I read; I enter a different world that is filled with diversity of knowledge. It is a very big world that doesn’t have a beginning and an end. It’s a world that doesn’t require certain things from the human being. In fact it will offer you a wide range of knowledge; starting from wisdom, to science up to philosophy and history and she is not expecting anything in return. Once you set food in this world, you will enjoy the ride, because there is always something for everyone. Once one takeoff, there is no return. One will have to go by the flow in order to enjoy the journey. It’s the journey, you will get to experience it from the protagonist, and when you land and arrive safely, you will suddenly find yourself craving for some isolating time for yourself to reflect on your last ‪ trip . Once you feel you are settled do...

As we are going into Friday and it is  one of my favorite days of the week. This day has a very special  place in my heart for some reasons. I always feel the silence and calmness of my heart. I feel god's blessings. Today I questioned myself, what about doing a good deed on such a beautiful day? Even if it’s a  small  thing. Sometimes we see things small, but in other peoples eyes it could mean the world. One of the greatest things any one of us can do in life is to reach out and do a good deed for another human being. Whether it means offering your love and compassion, or making a charitable donation of time, energy, or money, there are many ways to bring sunshine into the lives of others. Aiming to make someone smile and succeeding will ultimately make you happier than the comparatively abstract goal of trying to make them happy. Here are few things that I could think of now; how one could do a good deed? ·   ...
