----Blogger keeps deleting random parts of my post???? weird-----
As far as my weekend goes, I had an wonderful time being with my family. I love when get together and spend time together as a group (specifically my aunt shiva, aunt aida, uncle saman, my mom, and i). even though i have a realllly large family, the five of us bond in a special way. We know that each of us help every person in the group to grow in some spiritual way. Even though we all a different type of connection-- we come together as one really strong unified group... which is the beauty of it. since we realize that we have such a profound affect on each other, we make it a point to put time aside to teach each other new things that we have learned /read about, have discussions on topics that were struggling with, challenge each other various ways and just be there for support. lol as cheesy as it sounds-- we love it and sometimes we spend 4-5 hours talking not realizing where the time has gone.
Even when we dont see each other for a very long time-- we never feel like theres a gap in the relationship. im confident to say that everyone else feels the same way.. our life experiences make us very different but our connection is what keeps us together.
after spending hours in one of our "sessions' I feel like I have taken ecstasy..I'm on a ridiculous high----happy, energic, motivated, refreshed, enlightened, and the list goes on. And sometimes If Im lucky enough it lasts for one or two weeks at a time. Theres nothing that motivates me more than learning and growing with others.
Our fam has always been close but before last winter-- none of never felt this close or had this type of group dynamics. Its funny how all 5 of our lives came together in such a beautiful way at the perfect time God wanted. One change spread like wildfire completely flipping our lives upside down. This is prob why the last year has been both the hardest and best time for me.
anyways-- I just want to thank God for the opportunity he has given me to live my life with these amazing people.. I know its a truly a blessing bc not everyone can have such positive influences in their life to support them. i know that we are all def vibrating on a the same wave length.... maybe one day i'll write about all the different projects these individuals have been involved in -- more so what they taught me through these projects.. but for now ill tell you how each of these people have impacted me:
shiva has taught me meditation, focus, deliberate creation, in addition to helping me see my spiritual strengths
aida has been my quran teacher growing up, and has always taught me everything through example. she really understands and lives the concept of oneness and self sacrifice. aida has always been one of my biggest role models
saman has been a pure source of unconditional love and support. his ability to show his understanding towards others is so much more than ive seen in anyone else
and of course my mom... she has just been everything me to. more specifically she has always been a mirror standing infront of me-- forcing me to see the real me.. and showing me I how I need to improve myself.
understanding my relationship to this group really tells you a lot about who I am and who I want to become. one post can only say so much...
k back to studying.. i really hope I dont have to pull a second all nighter : o

I have to admit I am jealous of the strong bonds you have with your family members. You're truly blessed, Nikki love.
