It's a New Day

Assalaam Alakium sisters!

Happy March! I feel every month should be a fresh new start. Ideally, we should all set goals for ourselves and try to attain them before the month is up. Islam teaches us to be productive and constantly learning. Well, as I thought about this post I realized I should discuss some of my goals, past and present. 


If you've been reading this blog for the last month or so you know I started blogging again late January. Being that it was almost February when I started again I gave myself one goal; to write 50 blogs in the month of February. I didn't quite get to 50 but I did come pretty close, the last week of the month brought a lot of lack of motivation. I kind of "fell of the wagon" so to speak in terms of this blog and with no real reason. 

I don't want this blog to be an obligation for me, I want to enjoy writing and sharing my thoughts with the world. That being said, for the month of March I'd like to make a promise to myself first as well as the rest of you. If there is ever a time I don't have anything productive or just lack motivation to write, I won't. Simple as that. I value quality over quantity. So kicking off with that promise here are a few of my goals for this month:

1. Write productive, thought provoking posts. 
2. Focus more on the content rather than the number of posts. 
3. Do at least one "mini series" regarding converts and Islam
4. Write whenever I can, how much I can. I don't want to limit or force myself to write 2-3 posts per day.    

Those are just the goals I have for this blog this month. InshAllah, in the next few days maybe I'll write a post on other goals I have. 

What are your goals for the month of March?
Do you set goals for yourself often?

Quote of the day: "A goal without a plan is just a wish"

Have a wonderful day!

Back At It

Assalaam Alakium!

It's been a full four days since I've written a blog, bad I know but I haven't had the motivation. The Writer finally started a blog and wrote his first post on Sunday night. I'll link it below if any of you are interested. 

Did any of you participate in the challenge? I said I was going to do it during the weekend but ended up not even thinking about it! InshAllah, I'll try it again. For those of you who have no idea what I'm referring to take a look at my last post and you'll understand. =)

Currently, I'm doing some research at the library and I'm planning out a few mini series' to post while my aunt is staying with me next week. She'll be staying a week so I want to have some posts pre-planned to keep this blog active. Any ideas for new posts or mini series, please leave your suggestions in the comments below. I'll consider each topic and try my best to deliver. 

I didn't have a plan for the post, I just wanted to check in and let you all know I'm still around. Try to be patient with me as I learn this blog thang and develop a voice for this space.
