I FEEL LIKE QUITTING BUT AM NOT A QUITTER|| OMG IT'S MY PERIOD

Hello wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are y'all doing today? I hope you are all having an amazing day and are not letting anyone steal your joy. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life. Today is a beautiful day. Thank you all for joining me.

Have you ever felt like quitting? Like just giving up on everything? I have. In fact, these last few days have been a little hard on me physically and emotionally. It's crazy how someone like me, who is spiritually awakened would feel this way lol...

Well, I do and it's okay to feel like quitting because regardless of how transformed we are spiritually, we are still having a human experience. Feeling this tired and worn out is part of being human but becomes a problem when we listen to our ego and quit.

In my morning live broadcast today, I talked about what it takes to build muscle. It is not fun. You have to go through intense resistance training and sometimes, you'd feel like giving up but the vision of your toned body, in your mind won't allow you quit.

It's the same with life issues. Every time life throws curve balls at us, the goal of the ego is to quit at the slightest sign of difficulty. I have trained myself to push harder in the face of adversity because there's a sweet thing called a breakthrough at the other side of it.

It turns out, the reason I have been feeling off lately is my period. That time of the month just SUCKS! but it's part of being a blessed woman. My body is going through a cleansing and re-balancing and it ain't funny lol.. All I want to do is curl up in bed, pull the covers over my head and lay there. While I could do that, there are two amazing, very opinionated Einsteins who would start interrogating me NONSTOP!😡

Asking me questions like "mama what are you doing?" "Mama get up!" Mama come wipe my butt." It's NONSTOP! I tell you.  Now, when it's my turn to ask for something when they are not in the mood, OMG! They get so upset lol...

Life is truly beautiful and I wouldn't take it any other way. After all,  I chose this life. Thank God for His grace and faithfulness. I rely heavily on God's grace to see me through EVERYTHING! He's never failed me yet!

I feel so much better when I do things that I love; such as making videos and writing blogs.

Thank you all for your support. You are all amazing!

With gratitude,

Maryam

JURASSIC WORLD DINOSAUR EVENT EXPERIENCE WITH LEVY AND ZOZO

Good morning, wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely friends. How are you all doing today? I hope you're all having a great day today and are not letting anyone steal your joy. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life. Today is a beautiful day. Thank you for being a part of my world.

Last Friday(July 31), I took my kids to a Jurassic World Drive Through Dino event, at Atlanta Motor Speedway and it was amazing. 

My kids love dinosaurs and when I found out about this event, I couldn't resist taking them to experience it. I had never been to a Movie Franchise event like this before. So, when this opportunity came, I couldn't resist it.

During my break hour at work a few days before the event, I purchased the tickets for us and told the kids about it.

Le'Veon loves his Dinos, so he was very excited when I told him about the event. Zo'e was excited as well but I was more interested in seeing Le'Veon's reaction to the Dinos.

When we got there, the arrangement of the Dinos were very well thought out and organized. I liked the display of make-belief Sea World and Land. The sizes of the Dinos and their characters were amazing. 

There was a good number of families there as well. Just like us, they came to experience the show. 

I think the staff and organizers of the show did an awesome job.

So, I pranked Le'Veon and Zo'e at the event. I had one of the workers with a baby Dino in his hand to get it closer to the kids. It was so funny. They thought it was real and started screaming. Their reaction was captured on camera. Make sure to watch the video to experience it with us. Each time we drove closer to a huge Dino, he'd start asking me to take him home lol...

As we came close to the end of our experience, Le'Veon asked if we could stay for a little longer and when I said we couldn't, he was upset.

On the drive home, he said I should take him back so he could experience it again. I told him may be next time but not right at that moment. 

Zo'e was calm and happy with the experience. Although, I was a little worried that her car seat was keeping her from enjoying the experience and seeing the big and small Dinos. It turned out she enjoyed it.

I love giving my kids great experiences and memories. Going to the Dino show, is one I will cherish for a long time. We still have many more adventures to experience and I am excited to think about them.

Watch the video here:

Thank you for reading my blog today. Please enjoy the pictures and try to attend the show if you haven't already. You will enjoy it.

With gratitude,

I've never had an outfit in this color before. I mean, I have had many tracksuits in my life. As an athlete, you live in tracksuits lol. I used to live in tracksuits when I was in college. Now, I live in lounge wears lol. This particular style appeals to me. If you're not into all the extra cute stuff in your clothes, this may just be the right choice for you.

The pants are cute too and are tight all the way to the ankle and I don't mind that at all. 

Seems like strings are the thing too and I still don't mind lol... The strings bring a little bit of play to the outfit to keep your hands busy when you're nervous lol.
