It’s been 18 years since I’ve been camping (if Albion Hills counts),
and I’m petrified excited to join a group organized to venture out into the wilderness! Insha’Allah.
Mostly, I’m in it for the halal smores.
Okay, okay, canoeing looks enticing too.
Although I can only swim with my goggles on.
Rock climbing ditto. Though I fear my wimpy arms will give out.
Did I mention my germophobia, creepycrawliesphobia, and guysaphobia?
And four days of being immersed with Muslims from my community. Oh boy.
I keep myself fairly isolated from this community for various reasons.

But I realized that I can’t say I feel alienated on a local television feature for Muslim Converts, without having tried to reach out. Again. Insha’Allah.
Mosquito net? Will make. Insha’Allah.
Sleeping bag? eBay delivers. Alhumdulillah.
Rock gloves? On its way. Alhumdulillah.
Volunteer counsellor? Only if they are unlucky.
Here’s to July 5th-8th, 2012! Woo! Insha’Allah.
May it be of successful solitude in solidifying my shelter with God.
Ameen.
Too cute
Many thanks! Hopefully, the experience is just as cute! HAHA
Pink.
Well, It would be interesting to ride on someone’s basket wouldn’t it? lol
Reblogged this on Fringe of the Ummah.
What an array of pictures! Have fun! I love a good hiking trip!
Thank you! I find the kittehs make sense of everything in my life.
I can’t wait to camp! Or to attempt to anyways.

Oh if you have half as many of those cute kitty adventures you are going to have a blast! And eat a smor for me and the kitties!
LOLOL.. I think the kitties might be more like leopards. HAHAHA… And yes, I can’t wait to eat the smores! I mean, camp! I’ll definitely eat one for each of my supporters. Tee hee. That’s like double a handful.
Pink.
The kitty meets bunny is adorable.
Yes, definitely soo cute!!! The bunny takes the prize for sure.
Pink.
Camping retreat? Wow! Awesome! (I loved Albion Hills! Nice place!)
HAHA!!! Yeah! Should be interesting! I’m hoping to take lots of photos, take in all the scenery etc. I can’t wait! And also scared, but I’m sure I will learn something valuable about nature, and beauty.
Pink.
I’m bettin’ you’ll learn something about yourself too! Something delightful!
Yes! Like I’m hoping to learn how to make a camp fire! Or, how many smores I can stuff in my mouth! HAHAH… Three I think, at most. Thank you so much for visiting.
Get your fancy dress ready for this Thursday! 
May your tear droplets turn into diamonds. 
Pink.
I’m sure you’ll learn more than that….LOL. Although, learning to make a campfire is important and so is finding out how many s’mores one can eat at a sitting.
My fancy dress is ready my friend. Just for you and no one else.
My tear droplets will turn to diamonds…..this I’m sure. Thanks for the heart-warming comments.
Hugz,
Lee

THINKING ABOUT U XO C
Awwww… thank you! It was a mix of awesome swimming, and some less dry moments on my cheeks in trying not to blame myself for my divorce. It’s like a roller coaster at times. Thrilling but scary at the same time.
Hugs to you! I was thinking of you too! I tend to take breaks on weekends to get out of my head. But nudges are still there, to write.
Pink.
I KNOW THE DIVORCE THING STINGS AT TIMES RIGHT ? …….
U CAN’T BLAME YOURSELF THOUGH ,,,,,,,,, I DID THAT FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND IT GOT ME SO INTO MY OWN HEAD I FELT LIKE I COULD NEVER GET OUT AGAIN ……………
I THINK YOU ARE A PEARL
JUST WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT ……
OF WISDOM
OF INDIVIDUALITY
OF LOVELYNESS
AND I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT SOMETIME SOON – WHEN IT’S THE RIGHT TIME .
A BETTER MAN WILL COME ALONG ———-
I KNOW THAT FOR ME TOO …..
WHEN YOU DON’T LOOK YOU FIND …..
WHEN YOU LOOK – THEN IT’S KINDA LIKE WHATEVER —– XO

Wow, you’re an inspiration to me. Blaming yourself for years is ineffective, eh? It’s like whenever someone even suggests I get married again, I push that so far back, I can’t help but feel so repulsed inside. I’ve only started to recently admit the abuse I endured. It’s funny. I never thought that would be me. But I realize now, that his hitting both verbally and physically is not a reflection of me, but the sadness of spirit in him that only God can fix.
I don’t know if I can reach out again, thus I reach within my heart for new holds onto my humanity. Being in this job difficulty, and trying not to feel at all responsible or blameful is so tough. No one ever tells you that starting a new life is so gruelling.
But deep, deep down, I know love will show up when I least stare at it. It will come like a warm breeze, carrying me along it’s flight. I just gotta get through my pile of leaves first.
Pink.
PINK THAT’S BEAUTIFUL ……… MY GOD YOU ARE WISE …….
OF COURSE IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU – YOUR EX’S STUFF ……WHAT HE DID ……
BUT SEE – YOU ARE STILL SENDING HIM COMPASSION – WHICH IS GIANT …..AND REALLY MAKES YOUR HEART A REALLY KIND AND NOBLE ONE ……..
YEP ———— DON’T LOOK FOR LOVE
I KNOW I AM NOT !!!!!!!LOL
IT’S IN US …
IT’S WHOM WE ARE AS HUMAN BEINGS …….
SO YEAH \
IT WILL FIND US ……….
IT’S JUST TIMING AND GRACE ……
AND I THINK BEING READY …….
ALL HEART READY …..
XOXOXO
LOVE LOVE LOVE XO

Awww.. thank you… by sending him love, I’m really wrapping myself with it. I’m not always though, my memories come back and then my red reappears. But I let it out, and forgive it with pink as much as I can. It’s not easy. Being hit, somehow you take the attack inside. But you must let it out. Don’t let it grow there.
Hugsss!!
Pink.
TOTALLY ……….XO
I TOTALLY KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN ……………….
“DON’T LET IT GROW THERE ” …….. THAT’S AWESOME …..,
WE CHOOSE WHAT GROWS OR DOES NOT …..
I CHOOSE LOVE XOXOXOXOXO
