Thinking Out Loud

What’s Next

// March 1st, 2010 // No Comments » // Uncategorized

If you know me, than you are aware that I make many changes, and have yet to find a great thing that sticks as far as career goes.

I love education, I love learning. But I love art, design, creating, planning, and organizing as well.

I have a great desire to travel, and experience new things each day.

It looks like such an opportunity has arrived. Inshallah we will see what Allah ( swt) has in store for me this year.

I may have an opportunity to do a bit of travel, and gain some photography experience, and get paid for it. Yes, get paid to learn, and travel. My favorite things. Learn, travel, and art.
All wrapped in one nice little package.

We will see what is to come. I promise to keep you all up to date.

With a flexible schedule, and family support. I will still homeschool the kids, but probably go back to CAVA.
We shall see.

So, Whats The Plan Stan?

Well I am not 100% sure how it will work out. But my plan is to find a job teaching at a school in Yemen. Preferably an Islamic school, but possibly one that teaches ESL. But I do not have a certificate, and that would take more time, than I want. I am very impatient about things. When I have my mind made up, I just want to do it. Go ! Lets go, go , go.

Blame it on Intuition. Its the way I think, and make my decisions. Classical INFJ.

But if I put my kids in summer school, hubby can arrange to get off of work in time, and with the help of family. My oldest son and I, can be heading off to Yemen, inshallah. I think he can greatly benefit from the trip as well.

Things are difficult for Muslim teenagers these days. A little mother son, bonding will do us both some good, and growth. We can study our Arabic, and I was thinking, I possibly can even find a publisher to publish a book. Because of course I do plan to write about my travels.

I was a young mother. I had my oldest son, a few months before I turned 18. I have never left the country, and have not really traveled much even within the US. There are many things in life that I would like to experience. Often times as a mother we forget who we are as people, as women. And I have been a mother for almost half of my life.

I am working on self discovery, and what better way to do than to do with with my lord.

I’m just thinking out loud.

Sincerely,

Aisha
