~Raindrop Falls~

Raindrops on a Leaf, a photo by 1963chris on Flickr.

I was there all falling
Searching for a hero to save me
I kept falling, and falling
There were no hands to reach me
In midst of the fall, it became so clear
As I was going down, I’m all alone in this fall
Then the urge to survive on my own
Became the will stronger than myself
I plunged for life,
Taking what seems to be the last breath of air
Oh, God, I could  feel the strength
A miracle that arrived to me
Bringing a realization that I’m blessed falling here
Like raindrops ought to fall
The fall is not the end
Its actually the beginning
Raindrops fall for a reason
Nourishing whatever it touch
I’m no longer afraid to touch the ground
That is how I go on towards surviving

Crashed

glass, a photo by mayanda on Flickr.

Collect each shattered pieces
For I’m long been rundown
Collect my soul for I had been run all over
Crashed so badly, in countless shattered pieces
Pick me up, for I’m crashed down so badly
So badly crashed
But still undefeated
As I’m woman
Bound to collect my soul
To stand again to face the world

And We Remain Women After All

~A Woman After All~

So they told her… Its your Omani Women’s Day

Signing the longest Letter: Appreciation of all Omani Women to His Majesty

Festivity continues in 2010 Omani Women: Celebrating 40 Years of Prosperity

So she clasps into more celebrations

In every Omani head line: Building Women Capacity

Then 2011, a New Year approached

Once again they told her: Its International Women’s Day

Rejoice it and celebrate it

Yet reality blows another truth

As she returns home, a husband to remind her

That her peak...is just an illusion

As she is just a woman.. all fragile

To be handled under the care of a man

Isn’t she after all a vulnerable  woman?

In New York

I smile to you

As the charm spreads

Across my face and touching you

In many ways, delighting your day

So I ask you to just accept me

Just the way I am

In my simplicity

Holding the world in a smile

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.

A Link Within A Chain

Empowering Women
Originally uploaded by rlhinnant

Month of March has many significance as 8th of March is Women's International Day and in addition it is women's history month. With a group like ours Empowering Arab Women*, need to kick off beyond just being a group on a facebook.

Meeting set on 25/3/2008, gathering links to create a chain. We need to hear from all of you what time would be suitable and based on the most suggested timing, the time will be set. A guest speaker will be invited for the event to share her experience with us, an Omani woman who has paved a path in her career or business.


Put in your mind that no one will come from outside to empower you, you need to gahter your self, begin somewhere, have faith in yourself, reach out for your sisters, the chain will link ...


The meeting is open to all women of any nationality as this the arena to exhange ideas...Of course the event is in Muscat

For info email : iamnasra@yahoo.com

* Empwering Arab Women has started as facebook group.
