Hey Autism, Verily with Difficulty There is Ease

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:17 am By Posted by The Editors

Spring break on the beach: Are we a couple of free-wheeling college students on Daytona Beach? Nah. We’re a family of five (seven with my in-laws included) who decided to come to a beach in South Carolina because it seemed the only place that everyone, especially our eldest son, would have some fun. The question asked by so many leading up to this trip was: What do you think will happen? Meaning, our family’s life — in a way —... Read more

Description: Single Female/Superpower: Writing

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:17 am By Posted by The Editors

If you are a single woman who seriously writes, this can be a serious issue. I am a writer with a few books in bookstores around the United States. One book is translated into French and resides in Canadian bookstores. I have heard there are eight graders at a Florida middle school reading my first book during classroom quiet time. This recent discovery means a great deal to me, because that first book is not eight grade reading material (far from it).... Read more

Advice: Cheated on by a pious Muslim man

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:17 am By Posted by The Editors

Dear Love InshAllah: My husband is cheating on me. I found out because he wasn’t logged out of his Facebook account – I saw messages between him and a non-Muslim co-worker of his in which he’s trying to break things off (I’ve met this woman a few times at his office gatherings). We have a 2 year old son and have been trying for a second baby. I never ever imagined that I would be in this situation. My husband is... Read more

Ed. note: The author of today’s post won our Eid contest, “tweet us your love story,” with her entry: “I came to a foreign town & Couchsurfed while finding an apartment.

Friday love: BrotherSpeak

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:17 am By Posted by The Editors

We love the Washington Post video series, “BrotherSpeak,” exploring the lives of black men in the U.S. Through pictures and one-on-one interviews, in-depth stories and award-winning video, black men speak about their fears, loves, and dreams. The creator speaks to why these three emotions were chosen: We chose these words because we believe they represent fundamental human emotions and impulses that many black men’s experiences provide them a unique relationship with and perspective on. The point of our series is to highlight... Read more

A Filmi Love Story

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:17 am By Posted by The Editors

As I write this, my husband and I are hanging out over web cam in a corner of my 17” Macbook laptop. He lives in Texas, and I in California. It is a set-up we pretty much knew about before we got married, but even then much of my desktop is being taken over by a video editing timeline while we speak. This is my feeble attempt to multi-task so we can actually have some time together, uninterrupted, when I... Read more

The Five Pillars of My Relationship

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:17 am By Posted by The Editors

I’m a community organizer addressing men’s violence against women within the South Asian immigrant community. “We have to connect with women’s organizations nationwide and learn about what they are doing. How do they speak to men and boys about this issue?” asked my supervisor. As I began to call my colleagues, I kept being directed to the same man who was an advocate on this issue. We spoke a few times over the phone but our first meeting was at... Read more
