IT MIGHT HAPPEN TODAY

 

What's up wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. 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 all for joining me.

I was just pondering a thought a while ago. It's about your deepest desires or even something you really really want to happen or experience. Yes, that pressing desire that you would really love to achieve. Don't be afraid of it and don't accept that it won't happen, because it might even happen today.

When you are going after something you have never had before, it can be a scary thought but see fear as a motivation not a discouragement. See, I believe that you can have anything you want but you need to believe it and keep focusing on it, joyfully. As humans, we tend to give up on things we have no idea how we could achieve and instead, go after things that we know how to achieve.

The only way we stretch and grow is by going after territories and things we've never had or been before. I have studied many books and listened to many people who have achieved amazing things in life. One thing stands out to me about them. They all still proceeded in the direction of their dreams in spite of their fear and doubt. I believe life is a beautiful journey. We truly make this journey what we want it to be. However, if we are afraid of taking risks or moving towards our goals in spite of our fears, we will not truly experience life like we were meant to.

So, no matter what your dream may be, you've got to keep moving towards it. Trust that God will guide you in the right direction and assist you in accomplishing your goals.

Let me leave you with this quote by Will Smith "the first step is you have to say that you can."

You can achieve your dreams. I believe in you. Now go!

PARIS ON MY MIND TONIGHT

 

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

So, Paris, France has been on my mind lately. I have just been thinking about how lovely it would be to take my kids to Paris for a week-long vacation. I think it's going to be really dope!

I love the idea of Paris for what it brings to my heart. When I think about Paris, I think about sweet love and cozy walks around the park. I also think about picnics and French food. I want some French breakfast right now 😔. It's been too long since I had some yummy French food.

You know, I might order some French food for me and my sweet babies soon. Perhaps, eating some French cuisine would give us a good fill of Paris before we actually make the trip in person.

Have you ever been to Paris? Do you live in Paris?

I am going to sing my song and dance my dance when I get to Paris. See, I said "when," because it will happen by God's grace.

I think Paris is an amazing city and I am an amazing mama jamma. It would definitely be a visit made in heaven lol...

I hope this post made you laugh. Whatever may be your desire, pursue it, see yourself living it up and watch God make it a reality. I'll make sure to share my food and experience of Paris with you in picture and videos when it happens.

Until next time...

Don't let anyone steal your joy!

NO MATTER WHAT THE SITUATION

 

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

No matter what you are currently going through, no matter how impossible it may seem. No matter how hard you've tried and how stubborn the situation may be, you will get through it. It will get better. Your life will not remain here. You simply can't and won't stay in the tunnel forever. This valley season, will not be the end of you. Life will transform. I mean YOUR life will transform. Just like the butterfly doesn't start out as a butterfly but as a caterpillar, you're only training for your wings. God can't and won't let you stay where people and circumstance have left you.

You will get out of this and look back a few hours from now and thank God that He is the God of the valley as He is the God of the mountains. Life will get better for you. I know it! This post is your sign that you've just entered a whole new season of breakthroughs!

The only constant I know in this universe is change! You know what this tells me? You are just going through a season that won't last forever. Thank God because He has the power to change any season. You may have been in this season too long. I got good news for you. You have come to the end of this season. You have earned your wings. God is about to take you places and give you blessings you've never dreamed of before.

You deserve every bit of it. Embrace it and dance in it baby! You are about to see and experience a whole new level of breakthrough that will put all your enemies to shame. 

Let me leave you with this quote by Neville Goddard "Sleep is the door into heaven. What you take in as a feeling you bring out as a condition, action, or object in space. So sleep in the feeling of the wish fulfilled."

Tonight, before you go to sleep, give thanks to God for answering your prayers and changing every difficult season to one of celebration. Feel the new season and hear the sound of congratulations and songs of victory in your ears. Wakeup with the sound of victory in your ears. God truly has got you.

I pray for you, that my God will show forth and show out for you in great and amazing ways in Jesus Name. Amen!

WOMEN WHO HAVE LOST A CHILD

 

What's up wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are you all doing today? I hope you're 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 checking out my blog today.

Le'Veon came after I lost my first child. He is my Rainbow baby💙😇

Have you ever lost a child and are still crying and heartbroken from it? Are you desiring to have a child after a loss? Do you have a heavy burden on your heart after that loss? I hear you. I see you and I have been there. I want to tell you that everything will be alright. The heaviness in your heart will not always be there. A time will come when it won't hurt as much and you'll be able to smile again.

Today, my hands are heart are full with two amazing babies.

I am believing God that you will smile again. You will be blessed again and your heart will be full again. God knows how to restore and give you more than you lost. Hey sis, that loss you experienced is actually gain. God is getting ready to fill your nest with amazing babies. I really want you to believe it. When you begin to look to God and trust that He's not going to leave you empty, you better get ready. 

There's about to be cries of babies, heard from your nest, mama. Your life is about to make a new turn. You're about to start buying diapers and getting sleepless nights, from caring for your little Angels. God is about to give you double for your trouble, sis. Are you ready? 'Cos they are coming. He did it for me. I know you are next. He will do it for you.

Here's what I want you to do: get ready! Start seeing yourself carrying your healthy baby. Visualize yourself staying up at night feeding your baby. Start imagining yourself doing the things that other mothers with babies tell you that they do for their babies. What you don't want to do is focus on the loss. See, the plan of the enemy is to get you to focus on the loss and start asking God why it had to happen to you. God is never the bringer or doing of bad things. 

Every difficulty and challenge we experience, is an opportunity for God to show forth His power. You may have lost a child, but you are about to gain twins. Lift up your eyes and stay focused on God's promises for you. The Word of God says in Psalm 127:3 " Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from Him."  

Don't watch shows or read books about how to cope with loses. Those materials only keep you in a negative mood and depressed. You want to read books and watch programs about children and how to handle babies and parenting. You want your mind to be focused on being a mother. See yourself as a mother and spend time with other mothers with children. I promise, you will carry your babies.

When the thought comes to remind you of your loss, affirm the promises of God to yourself. "I am a mother of nations." "My children call me blessed."

As you do this, you will see the glory of God manifest in your life.

I pray for you, today. May God grant your heart desires like He did mine, In Jesus Name. Amennn

WALMART HAS JUST GAINED MORE MOMMAS ON THEIR CORNER

 

What's up wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are you all doing today? I hope you're 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 joining me.

Yesterday, my kids and I went to Walmart to shop like we always do. Guess how pleased I was to notice the new breastfeeding moms station located at the back of the store? I was so pleased that I had to take a picture in front of it and share with everyone of you. I think this gesture by Walmart is a big one. It shows that they recognize and support breastfeeding mommas and mothers in general. They want to make feeding and pumping, one less thing for shopping mothers to have to worry about. 

Thank you Walmart for such a kind gesture.

I am a breastfeeding advocate. I breastfed both my children and encourage more women to do the same. It is a beautiful thing to nurse your babies because the best nutrition you could give your infants is your milk. Your milk changes as your child grown to meet his/her needs. You bond with your children that way and set the foundation for sweetness between you and your babies.

With gratitude,

Maryam

IT WILL ALL WORK OUT FOR YOU

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

This is an inspired post just to remind you that everything will be alright. Whatever may be your current situation, no matter how hard it may be, I want you to remember this: You will come out of it. Things will get better. You will thrive and dance in gratitude. I want to be the first to congratulate you on your beautiful life. I know it may sound crazy that I am saying this to you. Trust me, I know why I'm saying this. You are stronger than that situation and greater than the haters. Get ready to see the haters become your cheerleaders. 

God is about to turn your life around. Everything is about to shift BIG TIME for you. This is what I believe will happen to you.

Though the weapons may have been formed, they won't prosper. You have already overcome that situation.

God has not brought you this far to abandon you. You're just building muscle baby! You're getting ready for your next level. Please don't let your mind be filled with the current suffering. In stead, focus on where you'd rather be. Give thanks for where you'd rather be. 

In my experience, the more I have stayed focused on the pain, the more pain I created for myself. But when I shifted my focus to the present and God's faithfulness, things began to shift for me.

You're valuable to God and truly, God hasn't left you without help.

I pray that you breakthrough and shine brighter than a diamond in Jesus Name. Amen!

MY MORNING TEA ROUTINE

 

What's up wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. 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.

So, my morning tea routine. I love tea. You probably have watched many of my videos where I was drinking a cup of delicious tea or you just might have heard me talk/write about it. Tea is life to me. There's something so refreshing about tea that makes me so happy. I get giddy whenever I make myself a cup of tea. It's almost like I live for that moment.

Each morning that I walk into the kitchen and brew myself a pot of tea, the day is set off right. I love a variety of teas and I don't drink caffeinated teas. My current favorite pot is the Portobelo kettle. It's so amazing. I like how the alarm goes off when my tea is boiling. It whistles so loudly that I jump off my computer to turn off the stove.I found a similar pot that you can check out on Amazon:https://amzn.to/2FskeS1

 This is Lily's 2 Quart Stainless Steel whistling kettle. It's amazing. Use the link above the picture to check it out.

Taking the time to make myself some mint  or ginger tea, makes me feel like I matter. Lol... It may sound corny to you but it's my corny lol.. I make these teas from scratch and I feel like that adds a special touch to my experience. Do you ever invest the time to meet your own needs? Like being in the moment with a cup of your favorite tea in hand, while you indulge in your best fantasy? I do that. I find myself thinking about Breckenridge, Colorado. I want to visit the Breckenridge Resort this winter. I think it will be amazing. I have already started telling my kids about the snow and mountains that will be there, when we get there lol...

Life is good when you do the little things that make you feel good. My encouragement for you is to start spending time with you. For me, it is mindfully making myself a cup of  tea and enjoying it too.

Thank you for reading my blog today.

You're amazing!

MY EXPERIENCE WITH ASIAN SNACKS|| ASIAN SNACKS REVIEW

 

Hello wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. How are you all doing today? I hope you're 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 stopping by.

So, I love food. You will hear me say that many times and that's because I do. Food is not great for survival, it's a cultural celebration. For me, food speaks to me about the culture of the people the food came from. Food is another way to express the richness of a culture and their values. It tells the stories of generations past and experiences had. I love food. Lol... I just said it again.

My picky eater

What I really love about my love for food is that I can also cook food. I am always checking out different recipes and experimenting in my kitchen. I freaking love food. Anyways, this blog is about my experience with Asian food.

A few days ago, my children and I visited an Asian Farmer's Market in Morrow, Georgia. The market is called Nam Dae Mun. It's a very big market with a variety of foods and groceries displayed across the vast floor. My intention was to buy a bunch of Asian snacks, actually I intended to buy some Korean snacks but ended up with some Japanese yummy snacks instead. While walking about the store looking for snacks, I came across awhole isle of yummy looking candies and I had to get some of them. We got some coffee candy, watermelon gummies, some peach gummies, mango marshmallows, some sesame seed cookies and two bags of chips.

My foodie

My son is a picky eater but I encourage him to try new foods. My daughter on the other hand, is a foodie and would fight for her food lol. She likes food like me. I want my children to be vast in their experience of the world and eat foods from different cultures. I hope that as we continue to share our experiences, we inspire others to try new foods.

To watch our reactions, please watch this video👇

I really liked all the snacks we got. I will be going back to get some more later. Trying foods from different cultures is fun and exciting. I get to give my taste buds a journey through time and cultures. It is truly amazing. Have you ever tried Asian snacks, what's your favorite snack? Please recommend in comment below.
