~Once More~

You fall asleep
I see you, soaring to a distance land
There you are, jumping with clouds
So you can reach the stars
You are a happy child
A tiny angel of mine
As your flicker your angel eyes
I love you once more

~`Your Arrival~

Never thought it will be so soon
The sparkle that had shone
Your arrival changed my life in a storm
Yet cuddling you and taking you home
Seem my life was not lived before
A miracle that God kept for me in store
Happiness winched through pain
Having you, all subtracts only my life sustains

On 20th of September my baby arrived into my world. What more can be a miracle than that.

Now, my blogging begins
On how long that I have not written
Writing seems to be a huge treat
A luxury treats that I cannot receive everyday
As I’m here, its pure indulgence
Purely tasting the delight
As you read my thoughts…
Pray for me my new journey
Can be a simple as the one I just walked through

(A brushing thoughts from Nasra Al Adawi, As she is on anticipation for her first baby arrival)

…Let me take this time to wish you, Ramadhan Kareem…May this month be a delight …

Poetic Mood

Don't Let Me Go

How could I forget?

That you are the one who saw my light

Encircled my shadows, subtracting the dark

Thoughts that I never thought of

Words that I never knew I had

Away from my physique

An existence had been created

Sensuality to live in

Oh, How I love this emotion

Just to be in a poetic mood



“Have you ever noticed the feeling that comes when you are inspired to write? An advice, don’t let go of it...”

Nasra Al Adawi

A natural path

motherhood

Where one can begin?
In place that has no rest for poetic words.
A subtraction of poetic dreams, you find me in hollow
Lost in words but I survive the obscurities
The world that I cannot comprehend
A waiting child existing within me
A survival dependency
Yet I’m in line between childhood and motherhood
A path that keeps me in anticipation
Love that is not flamed on lust
A natural path like a seed bearing roots
I keep breathing the change
I admit I’m fearful of what would take place
So I put on my radiant smile
To carry me towards my next path
I’m all expecting

Women Cultural Symposium

ِI had great opportunity to meet women who are activist in social work recently. I have always dreamt to be seating with pioneers who have made such mark in the history of my country, indeed this event was a life time event for me. As my company Tawasul sponsored Women Cultural Symposium in Salalah hosted by Dhofar University and Slalah Centre for Business Women. This was great chance for me, not only to network, but to be inspired by how other Omani women who have been kind of leaders working in field of social work and even meet women who are member of State Council. Tawasul had aimed to sponsor this event to be part of organization that enhance the role of Omani Women in the society and to address challenges that Omani women faces. A well desevered applaud to my organization.

~Professional Development~

~Professional Development~

A new chapter begins
I stand there clueless
Aspiring for a position
Is it a dream, to get a career for a woman like me?
I no longer want to be helpless
So I wonder why I don’t dazzle with multi skills
In professional development, a journey begins
I’m an Omani woman, who is not afraid to compete
As the competitive world revolves, here I am equipped with skills
I take the challenge to whichever directions that blows.

At times, to stand in the job front is hard, everyday there are new challenges. The need to prove that you are worthy of that job and the position that you have been appointed, so to my Omani sisters don’t stand there feeling helpless. Equip yourself with multi skills and yes think about professional development, your step for empowerment.
