The other day was grey and unremarkable, and suddenly at sunset, the sun finally made an appearance and the sky got painted so beautifully and so quickly, I couldn’t help but look, look. and look.
Sometimes days can blend together and you need to look, look, and look for the good because it can happen so quickly and beautifully before quickly and quietly disappearing in the foreground!
Look, look, and look…
“Do you not consider how God has created seven heavens in layers?” (Quran 71:15)
When I doodle, whether it be swirls or figurines, I am transformed to a world in which my doodles live, and my thoughts become clear. My mind breathes.
I used to teach second grade. Now, I am a Stay-At-Home-Mother to three girls, an Atlanta based children-family-lifestyle photographer, and an author of Lailah’s Lunchbox (Tilbury House Publishing, 2015.) I have two new picture books projected for 2021: Amira's Picture Day (Holiday House, 2021) and I Can Help (Eerdmans, 2021) as well as my debut middle grade novel Unsettled (HarperCollins 2021).
Thank you for stopping by!
