Wow, this feels weird… coming back to my blog after almost 9 months of no posts.
Last year was eventful, to say the least. Actually, it qualifies as a significant milestone in my life path.
Long story short, on May 20, 2013 I gave birth to a healthy baby girl by the name of Nour Alexandra. Then came the hormones, the sleepless nights, the weight loss, the weight block, and finally the recovery.
It goes without saying that all that suffering was extremely worth it. I don’t want to pass a cliché, but nothing, no emotion in the world, comes close to comparison with motherhood.
Motherhood is herculean strength mixed with gushing love mixed with endless giving mixed with fearful worrying mixed with pride mixed with weakness mixed with optimism…
In 2014, I don’t want to list endless resolutions I know I won’t come close to accomplishing; instead I want to give 2014 a title: “Perseverance”
Be it personally, professionally, or academically, this year will be the year of perseverance.
