| Hello all, I am back I think :-) I pray everyone is well, happy and healthy. It has been a very stressfull year to say the least. I'll not bore everyone with details. I would like to (if I may) request dua's as I am in quite a depression due to life throwing me a few curves. It will be all ok and when I get down I pray and think of others in less fortunate situations. I have also lost someone very dear to me. They have vanished with no trace nor explaination and my heart hurts more than I can explain. I wish to request dua's for this person also. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers and I miss my Medina family very much. I'll try to visit when I can. To the sisters who messaged me I shall try to reply in a day or two and to the brother who emailed me info on Sufi stuff thank you. Your kindness in educating me is most appreciated may you be rewarded. Your sister, Azizah |

| Jannah, thank you :) But I have not been traveling, had you not read the email about a month ago I headed back to Washington State cause the clutch in my car was failing? Luckily it made it home (most all interstate driving so only had to shift gears when stopping for gasoline and I was only 10 hours from home) Then after the $650. clutch I found out I had only 10 % brakes which shocked me as I had never had brake problems, then to find out the rotors could not be machined, they had to be replaced :( As of today there has been over $1400 in repairs done, Guess that is not bad for three years and 81,000 miles. I am hoping to get on the road in January I have my granddaughters 1st birthday in Sept My grandson is due in Oct November I am going to have the surgery I should of had 2 years ago. (Yes I never had that cyst removed in my abdoman (sp) ) So will try to set off a month after the surgery so Jannah and Kathy look out I will head your way Insha Allah. :) This was not all the reason I was asking dua request, I have let depression take over a bit and also I got badly (hmmm can't think of a nice way of putting it.) I got badly shafted on a business deal which cost me MUCHO $$$$$$$$ I am still dealing with if I should sue or not, many say I should, my heart for some reason tells me to suck it up as a lesson learned. Anyway, I will be ok, I am trying to rid myself of the depression with prayers, herbs and the hot tub ;) I am going to try hard to save and plan to travel Jan in the US and Feb out of the US. Any suggestions for traveling outside the US, I will be alone, I would love to visit some Arab countries but I don't know if that is wise alone? Any suggestions would be most appreciated. |

| [wlm] Dear sis Azizah I would like to invite you to come over to SouthEast Asia. It is relatively cheap and you will be able to move and stay amongst Muslims. The countries here are a nice blend of modern and traditional. I do know that many of my Western-revert friends have enjoyed staying in Malaysia. If you are interested just mail me :) Wassalam |

| [slm] and welcome back! And you are, of course, welcome in Switzerland, should your travels take you through Europe! :) We would be happy to play host and hostess (and little hostess and baby hostess) and show you around! And as for the business deal gone bad, is the perpetrator in the position to do this again to another unsuspecting party? If they are, that perhaps should weigh into your decision to sue or not. |
