being 'mama' through and through

Bismillah Al Rahman Al Rahim,
In the name of God, the Most Merciful, Most Kind.

A blog to figure out an identity that longs to run, leap and explore a world where motherhood is often a burden, a weight tied around the ankle, prohibiting further movement.

Resisting this unfair image of a role that is vital to societies sincerely hoping for a future in which compassion & humanity prevail.

Wishing that I could find the same kind of happiness from a quiet afternoon poring over puzzles and picture books that I do from writing down observations of other people, other families, other lives.

Is this symptomatic of the malaise of motherhood? Is it personal? A writer's crutch? A typical feeling that needs simply to be fought against?

This blog will, God willing, be a testament to the victory of the mother inside over all else.

At least I hope so.
