I Got It Covered

Hello. It's been quite a while. I apologize for the sudden and unannounced hiatus. The creative muse has been missing and I don't really want to fill this blog with my emotional laments and ramblings, I know both you and I would hate that. But an update about me is underway (not that you're super interested!).

In the meantime, while I'm subsisting with this idleness, I want to share with you this blog that I found over the internet, thanks to Facebook/Twitter. I surely think it will be of benefit to us, ladies. And hey, it's only a couple of days before the Ramadhan. We're welcoming another chance to reflect, repent, ask forgiveness, and give thanks to Allah SWT for all the blessings He grants us. So I think it's the perfect time to be exposed to sites such as this.

It wouldn't hurt to be inspired by women all over the world who are, in one way or another, are experiencing the same things as we are. Also, the blog connects to other links, including current news and events, that concern Muslim women and the Islamic Ummah as a whole. The stories and news updates will keep us on track about what happens in the Islamic world that we might not usually see in our local TV networks.

I copy-pasted a little portion of the About section of the blog so I can give you an overview of what you will find. Here you go:

I Got It Covered is an online network that personifies women everywhere who willingly respond, with love and dedication, to the command of their Lord in wearing hijab. Through the stories and voices of these women, IGIC exposes the realities behind covering, correcting stereotypes about hijab and becoming an inspiration and support for women who wish to pursue wearing it. Doing so, IGIC hopes to create bridges of education, respect and understanding, ultimately sharing the beauty of Islam with the world. Read more.
I hope you find time to check it out. Learning from the stories, testimonies, and experiences of the authors is also a form of faith. So go ahead!

And lastly, Advance Happy Ramadhan to all of you! Hugs from me. :)
