It's February! Yeah! Another winter month has been slogged through. And this next one has a few fun things in it. A bridal shower, Ayyam-i-Ha, Valentine's Day, new glasses for my eyes, a weekend for myself.
And I've got my eye on the Fast (where Baha'is fast from sunrise to sundown for 19 days). I want to get myself ready for it because last year was the first year in a long time and it was REALLY hard. I have a theme to think/pray about this year during the Fast. It's women at war/women at peace. When I think about what it might be like to be me in a country that had a war going on in it, trying to get the things done that I do every day, my heart just gets all bursty and my problems just get all trivial. It makes me want to invent some huge art installation that shows how connected I am to that woman, how she is my sister.

What a perfect theme for the Fast. It really resonates with me. If you do anything artsy with it let us know! I'd like to contribute :)
