Ramadan has started....

and therefore, there has been a lack of posts. I have currently been busy because it's Ramadan.

Ramadan for Muslims is not just about fasting from food and drink from sunrise to sunset, in our case from 3:50 am to 10:00 pm, but it's about striving to become a better Muslim. There is a saying that says Ramadan is 10% Fasting and 90% changing your heart and habits that you will incorporate throughout the coming year.
Visit this link to learn more about Ramadan.

For example, my Ramadan goals this year are to :
  • memorize some short chapters and a long chapter from the Quran
  • read 20 pages a day in English or French from the Quran and listen to the same reading in Arabic
  • reflect every day on a verse or on my experience
  • eat healthier and better and exercise daily 
  • power naps throughout the day, because sleeping 7 straight hours is not possible!!
If you are not Muslim, but interested in learning more about Ramadan or joining on a 1-day fast please do not hesitate to comment below.
