Ramadan – Day 10 Melatonin & Wheatgrass

Last updated on: June 29, 2015 at 11:51 pm By Kristina ElSayed

Wow! There has been a lot going on this last 5 days. A lot of stuff publicly, and a lot of stuff at home. Some that has everything to do with Ramadan, and some that has nothing to do with Ramadan other than being distracting. 🙂 You know how life gets in the way sometimes? Last week both of my contributions to Interfaith Ramadan were published back to back. On Tuesday, June 23rd, my post, ‘Fasting for Faith’ was shared.... Read more

Ramadan – Day 5

Last updated on: June 23, 2015 at 12:19 am By Kristina ElSayed

Its midnight here and I’ve been waiting patiently for Kate and Pea to be ready to go to bed. Alas, they are not. Not even close to being sleepy. They are knee-deep in weaving a rainbow loom bracelet to beat ALL rainbow loom bracelets and if they stop now, they will have to start all over tomorrow. This is the second day of the rainbow loom marathon. They watch youtube videos about new patterns and work diligently to recreate the... Read more

Hi Friends! I’ve missed you. Truly. But I’ve not had much to say these last few months since my post about my 40 Days of Prayer. Everything here was kinda quiet. The school year was wrapping up, I was working more and trying to plan for summer. It was BORING. I started ordering Eid clothes and gifts already. In fact, some have already arrived! I’m kinda proud of myself for that. It seems like I’m in the midst of a... Read more

The Lenten Prayer Experiment

Last updated on: April 7, 2015 at 8:29 pm By Kristina ElSayed

How was Lent for you? Did you participate in the Eid.Pray.Love Muslims 4 Lent Interfaith movement at all? Remember back on March 5th when I told you about my plan to not really give anything up, but to focus on meaningful prayer and dialogue with God? Well, this is where I tell you how it went. I noticed a marked difference in my conversations with God. Instead of praying randomly in the car or in the shower whenever I felt... Read more

The First 14 Days of Lent

Last updated on: March 5, 2015 at 10:52 am By Kristina ElSayed

I always wanted the comfort of routine tradition. Not the tradition that locks you into a power struggle, but the tradition that comes from loving something so much that you do it regularly. I would look at the people in my life growing up and see them having a routine tradition. I would be invited to sample their lives and when immersed in the activity, I could feel that thing that I really wanted. But that thing that I was... Read more

This week in my islamic life.

Last updated on: February 13, 2015 at 11:26 am By Kristina ElSayed

On Tuesday this week, I was planning for my meeting with Mr. Fox’s school counselor. Its time to make the schedule for next year. I was looking up information on what he should take for his field of study. I looked at the admission guidelines for the Top Colleges in the US. I also looked at the admission guidelines for his first choice school. We’d been discussing all of this since last week. And then when I woke up on... Read more

Tending Babies During Prayer

Last updated on: February 1, 2015 at 9:50 pm By Kristina ElSayed

Did I tell you about that time when a mom asked me to watch her baby during prayer? When my children were very young, we didn’t go to the mosque. When Mr. Fox was 3, Khaled began taking him to the Eid prayers, but not to Jummah. Then, as he got older, they would go to Jummah when Khaled had time to come and pick him up beforehand. The ladies didn’t really start going to the mosque for Jummah until... Read more

Missing Egypt

Last updated on: January 19, 2015 at 1:59 pm By Kristina ElSayed

Back when I was dating Khaled, traveling to Egypt and the Middle East wasn’t on my radar. I was super excited that I had already travelled to Europe and wanted to plan on doing it again. I love traveling to Europe and want to go as often as possible. Then we became engaged, all of a sudden Egypt became somewhere on my menu of travel options. We went overseas together a few months before we married for the first time.... Read more

Where Do I Go From Here?

Last updated on: November 23, 2014 at 8:13 pm By Kristina ElSayed

Sometimes, there is stuff you don’t want to talk about. Its too private, or too painful, or too powerful. Sometimes you don’t know what is happening or how to explain yourself. I didn’t even realize it was happening until a few weeks ago, and since then I’ve been trying to figure out a way not to talk about it. Ever since Naina died, I have been unable to invest any time in attempting to fit into the community here. I... Read more
