I’m talking about the painful desire to fit in but, because you really can’t, there’s a struggle to be free by the part of you that just wants the chance to be itself. I wrote about it many years ago and so little has changed outside of my own feelings as I fight my way out of “the box”. Some all powerful being who, through the concept of ‘they’, squashes individual thinking because it might spread and compromise the docility of the herd? I forced it on myself and even though at the beginning I felt utterly ridiculous, after a while a sort of numbness set in. I ignored all the comments and stares and for a window of time, part of me was so free. And even as I fear that I might never wear it, a smug part of me knows that that cape has it coming.

NEW YORK (WABC) — Chances are you could have great deals at your disposal and not even know it. But you don’t have to be a bride to benefit from your credit card purchases. The more high-end cards, she says, come with higher annual fees and better perks, from free hotel rooms to discounts on concert and theater tickets. The more you spend, the more cash you get. So the bottom line is do the work, read the fine print and you will save money.

The hair restoration process is as simple as sitting underneath the machine which looks much like an old-fashioned hair dryer. The machine uses a “cold” laser light to stimulate the blood flow around the hair follicle which encourages growth. Doctors say the key to success with any hair restoration process is to address the problem early and to expect improvement but not miracles.

The Spring/Summer collections have hit the high street and with the sunshine, fake bake and flip flops comes the need to look and feel re-refreshed from top to toe. The Spring and Summer months can be punishing on your hair with drying UV rays, salt, chlorine, highlights and some serious heat styling taking you through days in the office, to the beach and into the long summer nights. Even a great hairstyle can be let down by not-so-healthy hair so don

Even though Islam permits and encourages potential brides and grooms to see each other in the presence of a mahram many people deny couples their right to meet and talk. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “When one of you asks for a woman in marriage, if he is able to look at what induces him to marry her, he should do so. The eye is the messenger of the heart; when the eyes meet, the hearts and the souls of man and woman may meet as well. If the man’s intention of marriage is sincere, he is permitted to see the woman with or without her hijab and with her family’s knowledge. Abu Hurairah reported that a man came to the Prophet (pbuh) and told him that he had proposed to marry a woman of the Ansar.

Lucky for me, I needed some photos for a humor speech I am giving about growing up in the ’70s and I had a reason to go through the old photos. As my mother and I dug through the box, I came across a black-and-white photo of a little girl. She didn’t know yet that one of her sisters would be struck with polio 12 years later, that her father would die at 49 just a month before her wedding, or that she’d have six healthy children and 17 grandchildren. The newer photos document the thinning and graying hair, the high school and college graduations, the surprise party we threw for my father when he turned 50 and, eventually, the surprise retirement party. They make me remember how blessed I have been to be given the family I was given — how blessed I’ve been to go through life with such a colorful cast of characters. As our markets crash and our politics get ugly — as the media report every day on the various ways the sky is falling — we need to stand above the fray.
