aHlan wa Sahlan
As-salaam alaykum! Happy March, Ramadan, Nowruz, and Spring! While a heatwave is actually making it feel more like summer in Los Angeles, I am excited for the new beginnings spring brings. Hope is a diligent practice in an era of continual wars, innocent lives lost, and on-going genocide. On particularly hard days, I find myself wandering outside to watch the bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds enthusiastically buzzing around my garden. I cannot help but be full of gratitude for my home and for the reminder of the amazing life around me, finding a way to thrive forward. Those little pollinators remind me of how bright our future can be if we all keep moving, commit to our dreams, and stay connected. So I hope you are finding a way to move your body, nurture your dreams, and connect to your loved ones. Together we can do amazing things. And together we will. Keep dancing and Free Falastin, Iran, Congo, and Sudan!
