Some stuff I wanted to share:

First, I would like to share a blueberry cobbler recipe that I got from my childhood best friend, Lauren. Ahmed, this is especially for you, cuz i know you love to sport the apron and do some baking every now and then. I've never had blueberry cobbler before Lauren and I made it, but BOY is it good. Especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. So here it is:

Blueberry Cobbler:

1. put 1 stick of butter in a square baking pan. Put the pan in the oven and preheat to 350 (until butter melts)
2. While waiting, mix one cup of self rising flour, one cup of sugar, and one cup of milk into a bowl
3. Pour this mixture into pan, then open a can of blueberries (or really any type of fruit except strawberries, oh and Oregon brand is the best) and pour on top in the middle
4. bake for 45 minutes.

Words of wisdom that i came upon:
Okay, so the only theme that resonates throughout the numerous popular life is love. Love, in all its forms, is the one powerful enduring force that brings real meaning to our everyday lives. I'm not talking about just the romantic "kissing, hugging, forking" love, even though that's pretty powerful stuff too. But what I mean is the love that is the fire that burns inside us all, the warmth inside us that urges us to reach out to others, to connect with family, to hold the door for someone, to pay for the next car's toll, to want to be a better human. It's the love of life itself. Sometimes we are so caught up in our daily hum drum activities, that we forget to dream, to try and discover more about ourselves because lemme tell you, there is a lot more to yourself than you can even imagine. Ya, i know, we've all heard the saying "one person can change the world.." blah blah, and more often than not that saying goes into one ear and out the other - BUT have you really challenged yourself today? We should all try it. ok not try it. just DO it. (this is what my sister tells me a lot). just do it. ya? WHO'S WITH ME?? ahmed? =)

.. ok and to be honest this message is really for myself because i do need some convincing and a good pep talk every once in a while..
