With uncertainty I move forward, stepping out onto Via della Lungaretta, a familiar street to me, and yet an unfamiliar name, one I haven’t noticed before.

My mother is an ordinary middle-eastern woman like any other women born in the 20th century. She is a glorious rare woman. She is as strong, loyal, and magnanimous as the sun.

She devoted herself and her time to her Husband, and raised her four children. Her life wasn’t an easy one. She works hard to support her family. I learned from her how to understand…

The term 'processed food ' applies to any food that has been altered from its natural state in some way,…

I grabbed my suitcase and rushed down the stairs into the kitchen. I could smell the aroma of pancakes with hot syrup drizzling down the sides. I plopped myself down in the nearest chair I could find and began to gobble down the sweet delectable pastries. “Slow down, don’t you have a game today?” asked my father sitting to the left of me. I threw a blank stare at him and began to pace myself. Once I finished, I placed my dirty dish in the sink and went into the living room where I sat on the…

The minute plans start to come together for any vacation, the excitement and counting down the days doesn’t stop until it’s finally time to start the journey. Trips to an unfamiliar, foreign place are invariably my first choice because I am able to explore things that I’ve never experienced in my life before.
