Bismillah ir-Rahmaan ir-Raheem:

I don't know why - I have the need to communicate my thoughts. However, I don't know if I really have anything to say that is any better than the scholars and others that are scattered about on the internet.

It makes a big difference to me . . . having a chance to put my thoughts down in writing . . . to actually think like an adult and have an adult conversation (yes, with myself) since most of my time is spent with two preschoolers running around!

I was hoping that this blog would help someone in search of inspiration . . . or help someone think about a topic in a way they never have before . . . but I don't know if I am achieving my purpose. I don't know much about Islam (what I mean is . . . I am not a scholar . . . I am not a student of knowledge . . .) but sometimes I feel a great need to share my thoughts and hopes with others that I hope are struggling too . . .

So, is it all worth it . . . or is it one of the many attempts (in this day and age) to communicate that go unnoticed and unwanted?
