Assalamu Alaikum

Workout, eat zabiha, and dress well to feel good from the inside out.

Mother to some amazing sons MashAllah... oldest in college, one juggles and wishes to follow the ? of al-Gazali, and all of them practice their humor on me so you will have to do better:) They keep me laughing and feeling with an open heart even when I am mad or sad so they are pretty good. You have been warned...ANYTHING is worth bantering and bartering over in our home. In Allah's plan, I am the only parent my children know and stayed single while my sons (and I) were really young (divorced under 25). Alhumdulilah, they are understanding and supportive of my intention to marry, so supportive that I can sense it will be all the guys in my home vs me ?

Family, female friends, being in nature, being feminine, Allah's Mercy fills my soul. Love dressing up on Fridays whether staying in, gathering with others, or masjid event. Abaya/hijab always, prefer niqab in some situations.

The man I choose as my soulmate would be someone I hope to have the reciprocal qualities for... give me no choice but to laugh in his humor, enjoy and encourage my  free-spirit, feel like home, gently guide my heart and our family, lead, plan, and think about things so I won't have to, generous and deep in his connection with Allah, praise whatever I cook(ask my sons how), someone I would wish to be with in this world and the next. Knowing we aren't perfect, only two imperfect people enjoying the Halal in this life and using our conscious relationship as mirrors for eachother to prepare a life for the hereafter, and do some good while we are at it.

Somethings that give me pure joy...
- Allah's infinite Mercy
- knowing my kids have food to eat, are safe, happy, and loved by so many
- DARK CHOCOLATE (ask my sons)
- ability to sleep while my son practices driving in the parking lot ?
- overcoming my fears and limiting beliefs, and letting go of controlling various aspects of my life and responsibilities only to watch Allah swt build the next qualities I need within me and open doors I never thought possible Alhumdulilah 
-depth of humanity and how unknowingly a very natural thing to one person can change the course of another's 
- when random people stop to ask what the relationship between my sons and I is only to tell me how handsome and amazing they are, MashAllah 
- Knowing my budget may not build a house for me, but it can for someone else in the world
-playing with the ? at one of son's part-time gig.
