I taught 'Valentine' to my class the other day and while teaching it, I internally yelled 'my life is like an onion!This is me!'My life is layered and in turn I am layered too. This blog isn't an attempt to indulge in my life but to get to the bottom of those layers. I am the daughter of immigrant parents and lived my life according to the rules of 1970s Pakistan. I married when I was 18 as expected and have two wonderfully, beautiful boys. I should have continued to serve my husband and his parents but I flew away holding my two babies close to me. I flew higher until I looked down and saw that what I was, was not me but a creation of what I should be.
A tarot reader told me recently that I had created a fantasy world which I was living in and it was time to step into reality. She has a point but my fantasy world is so oh so colourful...
Let me take your hand and show you it x
