When compassion speaks louder than judgement
I had long forgotten about this pen when she messaged me a few days ago. However, I will never forget an incident that happened with her. (Sharing with her consent) 🌱She was a good friend of mine who loved fasting. She used to fast every Monday and Thursday without a miss. 🌱She called me just […]
When Love visits again…
I met a friend the other day, someone who, years ago, swore they would never marry again. 🌱Their divorce had been bitter, painful. They told me back then, “Never again. I’d rather be alone than risk that kind of heartbreak.” 🌱Fast forward to today, and they are happily married. Not just content but genuinely, deeply […]
Are You Blocking Your Own Blessings?
Abundance and blessings don’t only take the form of wealth. They come as knowledge, time, skills, influence, health, and even a kind word. Every single one of us has something to give. The question is, do we? Some people hoard their wealth, fearing it will run out. Others have wisdom but refuse to share it. […]
True Faith is Holding On When Everything Says Let Go…
The real test of faith isn’t in how much you suffer, it’s in how deeply you BELIEVE. Many think that going through hardship is the real test. That the more they endure pain, the greater their trial.

When the impossible became possible
Earlier this year, before I fully understood the power of belief and the mind, I embarked on a pilgrimage to Makkah. 🌟One morning at 4 a.m., with a heart full of hope, I offered some intense prayers, asking for guidance and blessings, even for things that felt impossible. 🌟Just as a light-hearted thought, I asked […]

Take this as your reminder today to pause and rest. Burnout and exhaustion are real. However, the roles we play in life do not wait until our anxiety eases or the tiredness wears off. So it is up to us as individuals to take care of ourselves in the process. I’m a strong believer in […]
The time you take to bloom
Sometimes we skip into different pastures, hoping it will be greener on the other side. Little do we realise that it is always greener on the side you water and place your efforts on. From the time a seed is planted, to the time it takes to sprout its leaves and fruits, it takes a […]
From a Caterpillar to a Butterfly
Have you ever felt the subtle pull within, nudging you to explore the depths of your being? Well, you’re not alone. Seven years ago I felt this deep need to work on myself and discover what I truly loved to do. If I was to describe what it felt like, it was more of the […]
Stay where you are celebrated
‘Stay where you are celebrated, not just tolerated” is a powerful reminder that we need to seek out environments where we are valued and appreciated for who we are, rather than merely tolerated or accepted. This principle applies not just to our personal relationships, but to our professional pursuits and goals as well. All too […]
Ramadan With Zasha: Day 17
Life truly started for me at the point where I went into a deep learning about what mattered to me and what didn’t. I learnt so much in terms of friends and family. Learnt who deserved an explanation and those who deserved nothing off me.I discovered those who stood by me at times when things […]
