Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right...





A new year is coming up so very soon
And with that some resolutions
I have so many on my list
It causes me a lot of confusion.


So I decided to make my resolutions "wishes"
And spread them with lots of cheer
They go out to YOU
Throughout this coming year.


I wish for you a year filled with peace
Tranquility, serene moments, and love
Friends in abundance on whom you can rely
And bountiful blessings from above.


I wish for you a year filled with happiness
And no troubles to come your way
A path that is easily walked
And sunshine to fill your days.


I wish for you a year filled with joy
Laughter, hugs, and kisses
A year you will always remember
Full of accomplishments, not near misses.


Omar in this time I wish for you
Make this year different from the rest
Fill it full of wonderful memories
Make 2009 one of your best!


With love from

From AMAZING PEACE by Maya Angelou
.




In our joy, we think we hear a whisper.
At first it is too soft. Then only half heard.
We listen carefully as it gathers strength.
We hear a sweetness.
The word is Peace.
It is loud now.
Louder than the explosion of bombs.




We tremble at the sound. We are thrilled by its presence.
It is what we have hungered for.
Not just the absence of war. But true Peace.
A harmony of spirit, a comfort of courtesies.
Security for our beloveds and their beloveds.






We, Angels and Mortals, Believers and Nonbelievers,
Look heavenward and speak the word aloud.
Peace. We look at each other, then into ourselves,
And we say without shyness or apology or hesitation:

Peace, My Brother.

Peace, My Sister.

Peace, My Soul.





With all my love and wishes for a happy and peaceful holiday season

They say it is the season to be jolly and i truly wish

for us all to have a happy and peaceful holiday time.

Be it Christmas, Eid al Adha or Hannukah


I pray that in all the happy feasting we shall never

forget the ones less fortunate then us.



Here a little reminder just in case you forgot...








MY GROWN UP CHRISTMAS LIST



Do you remember me?

I sat upon your knee

I wrote to you with childhood fantasies

Well, I'm all grown-up now

Can you still help somehow?

I'm not a child, but my heart still can dream



So here's my lifelong wish

My grown-up Christmas list

Not for myself, but for a world in need



No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts

Every man would have a friend

That right would always win

And love would never end

This is my grown-up Christmas list



What is this illusion called the innocence of youth?

Maybe only in that blind belief can we ever find the truth



No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts

Every man would have a friend

That right would always win

And love would never end



This is my grown-up Christmas list

This is my only lifelong wish

This is my grown-up Christmas list







and love would never end....
