Hello my dearest fellow humans, times are rough are they not? We had so many hopes for the new year. We put so much into it. We put so much into the coming times and the expected changes from it. We wanted so much to happen. We didn’t realize or understand that time is time. It is always the same. What has to change is us. The thing that brings the change in the world or in ourselves in our will to want it to happen. 

This time though we were exhausted. Too much had happened. We had tried too much. We were doing too much. We expected time to fix itself. How was that supposed to even look likes. Day turns into night, night turns into morning and that is the system. It is only our will and our hard work that makes situations different. 

The work is hard, the world is ours however. We need to make sure we don’t lose it. Things are starting to get better. They will keep getting better and we will keep trying to work at it. We are a resilient bunch, especially us women. Yeah, you know what I’m talking about. We go through so much on a daily basis. If we can handle all of that we can handle anything else that the world is going to throw at us. 

Believe it or not we have nature on our side. We have the world against us but our CREATOR the one who has made us strong and capable. Had we not been so strong we would not have made it through all the craziness we face all the time.

This is nothing my sisters. 2020 and 2021 has nothing on us. Buckle up and lets do what we do best, fight for what we know we need to protect. How about it?

Before I sign off let me tell you about an awesome new project that Femmerang.com has just started. We are helping small businesses sell their products on our website. Go to the website (femmeramg.com), find FEMMECART on the drop-down menu and there it is! You can take part in it or you can buy stuff from it. This is one of our many ways of helping the world get back on its feet. Small businesses are the back bone of a country’s economy. Go check it out and then tell us what you think. You can give us your opinion here or right over there. 

Looking forward to hearing from you. 

In the meantime you look after yourselves, ya hear?

 From The CEO’s Desk

I’m so proud of each and every one of you. These past months have not been easy. 2020 has been so difficult. We have been tried and tested in the worst ways possible. Everything has been telling us to give up and hide in some corner of our minds. Not in just put minds but also our homes. Most of us, however have been brave. We have done what it takes to live our lives. 

Remember, living your life doesn’t always mean doing it in front of an audience. Everyone is different

 Everyone lives their lives differently. Maybe you are one of those people who doesn’t like a show. You might be the quiet type. For you, living your life means doing your thing in your world but in the best way that you know. 

On the other hand you might be the life of the party. You are a must at every zoom party and every rooftop that ever did get lit. You did your thing even if you were exhausted at the end of the day. We all tried our best. We are all trying our best. 

At some point if we decide it’s okay to stop and take a little breather, that will be okay too. That is not called giving up. That is called just relaxing and letting yourself off the hook. 

 I say we all deserve a day off. If you can’t take a day off take a few hours or even a few minutes to yourselves just to acknowledge that you work hard and do your job well. 

Go ahead acknowledge yourself. Out loud, not just to yourself but to the people around you. Tell them that you are strong and brave and that you deserve a break. Tell them that you deserve to be seen and heard. Let them everyone know that you are proud of yourself. Be proud of yourself because there are so many that are even if they don’t tell you all the time. 

I am definitely one of them. 

In the mean time you look after yourselves, ya hear?

Hello Dear Friends,

We have left the past behind. Let’s hope the past has gone with all its ugliness and hardships. Let’s pray that this year is bringing brighter days ahead. We all have worked really hard and lost so much in this last year. However, it hasn’t all been bad. There were moments of happiness and glimpses of joy every now and again to help us realize that nothing is 100% in this world. We are here to keep trying, there are never any guarantees. 

All we can do is help each other grow and create a better world. In case you forgot, you know we haven’t that’s exactly what Femmerang is trying to do. We are trying to create a better today for women so we can together create a better tomorrow for ourselves and our families tomorrow. 

That effort is not going to stop today because it’s a new year and we might think it’s a day to celebrate. We don’t know yet what 2021 has in store for us. What we known is what we here at Femmerang.com have stored for you. 

After everything we have been through we can all learn a little on our wellness team to help us transition into the unknown of the newness of what’s to come. Take advantage of that, please. The team is here for you. Hand-picked by me. 

The website and YouTube, social media channels are always there to inform and entertain. However, I would again insist on getting the help we all deserve from our wellness Team. I mean what have we got to lose. Right? 

 In the mean time you look after yourselves, ya hear?

Oh, and Happy New Year.

Ma’a asalaama

How do we slow time down? How do we get ourselves out of that rut that makes us feel like we are completely stuck and unable to get ourselves out? How do we live our best lives?

Little bit at a time. There’s no need for huge chunks to be moved around. 

Feels like everything will fall flat if we move even the lightest of pieces. The trick is to keep trying, keep inching forward, little by little. Keep making things a little bit easier by thinking that its possible. The power of our minds.

Speaking of powerful stuff, we have some powerful material coming your way. Some is already on the website. Some more is coming soon. Have you visited lately? Have you seen what our will to give you something important has delivered? Maybe it’s time you discovered it. Our heart-felt love and effort to help you will always be the forefront of everything that we do here at Femmerang. 

We are always here for you and doing our best to give you what you need. Please tell us in comments and messages how we can make it better.

Im signing out, and you look after yourselves, ya hear?

Hello friends, hope you have been well; if there is one prayer I could make for you it would be that Allah blesses you all with content of the heart. Isn’t that the greatest gift? So much happens in our lives that we have no control over, we worry and fret over every uncontrollable, unsolvable part of our lives. I wish we could just accept life the way it is. I wish we could just leave be what cannot be changed. 

Now don’t confuse this with making change, don’t confuse this with having to work hard for what needs to change and what we need to struggle to change. We have to work for that, that is what we are all here to do. We will no doubt accomplish what we have set out to do. However, we cannot get on with the real work unless we close those open doors and windows bringing in ghosts that are whispering bitter-sweets, in the end, all that is left is bitter.

Let’s help each other move on. Speaking of moving on, do I need to remind you that we have great content on the website almost every week and we are bringing great material to you on our YouTube channel as well. If you are liking what we already have, just keep watching, reading, there is a lot more coming. 

Yes, I plug shamelessly because we work tirelessly.

Stay in good health and good spirits and as always tell me more of what you want to read and see. My job is to give you what you want. 

In the meantime you look after yourselves, ya hear?

Ma’a asalaama
