Fan Mail

I received this e-mail yesterday and I was so moved when I read it...that I couldn't help but post it.

Yasmin!

I just logged off your website and I'm speechless!

It had to have been about 2 months ago when Donnie woke me up to tell me that I got an e-mail from you and that you were on the net. I walked down my hallway, bumping into everything in sight, and there you were! After staring at the screen for a few minutes while Donnie quickly perused through the different links, I told him to remind me in the morning, so that I could check it out for myself, and I'm sorry Yas, but we both forgot! It just popped into my head while I was checking my e-mail today, so I logged on.

You continue to amaze me. Just reading your blog and what other people have wrote in your Guestbook, tears welled up in my eyes. To know that you've touched so many other people the way you've touched me (and not in the dirty sense...purrrrrr) over the years is so beautiful.

Reading your innermost thoughts, and about all your determination, and the success you've accomplished leaves me with a loss for words...and who are we kidding, not even you can leave me with a loss for words! LOL. I joined the others and wrote in your Guestbook - I hope that you like it!

Anyways I'm off, I have to get ready for the Bon Jovi concert tonight at the ACC (insert white trash joke here) LOL.


Luv ya lots,

Lis XOXOXO

question

YOU EVER THINK THAT WE SHOULD BE DISCUSSING MORE IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE? I MEAN, WHY ON EARTH DOES THE CONVERSATION ALWAYS COME BACK TO THE WEATHER?

MY INNERMOST THOUGHTS

the only time that i have an issue with God is when i have to go to the gym :)

Rushdie

This is my dog, Rushdie. There is no need to tell him how beautiful he is, apparently, Rushdie already knows!

question

FORGET DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T WATCH THE GILMORE GIRLS?

MY INNERMOST THOUGHTS

i do tend to overanalyze things to a fault...i can't help it, i'm a thinker

question

HOW CAN YOU NOT BELIEVE IN KARMA? DO YOU KNOW WHAT BAD KARMA THAT IS?

MY INNERMOST THOUGHTS

in my humble opinion, confidence is completely overrated. i like a man who is not afraid to show his vulnerability

question

YOU KNOW WHAT PISSES ME OFF? WOMEN JOKES! I MEAN, CAN THESE TYPE OF MEN REALLY AFFORD TO BE EVEN MORE LESS ATTRACTIVE?

MY INNERMOST THOUGHTS

the hidden agenda lies not in me, but in your perception of me

question

THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AMBITION AND POTENTIAL. WHICH ONE ARE YOU NURTURING?

Nargis Virani

This ladies and gentlemen, is my Mom. The story goes that my mom had incredible difficulty giving birth, so much so, that she lost my older sister, Tasleem, on the day of what was suppose to be her birthday. Apparently, the umbilical cord had wrapped around Tasleem's neck, thereby suffocating her.

Prior to that, my mom had a miscarriage with another child, so her doctor insisted that she no longer bear anymore children. But my mother was adamant on having a girl. Shortly thereafter, she became pregnant again, this time with me. Worried that she would lose me as well, my mother prayed to God to fulfill her wish. She fasted for forty days and promised God, that if he would grant her a girl, she would keep the baby girl as a beggar for one year, so as to be reminded of God's humility.

Tasleem died on the 4th of December, 1978. I was born in the evening, on December 14th, 1979. I am told that after I was born, I slept in a box for the first six months and then eventually moved on to a crib that was donated by a family friend. So when people ask me to describe the relationship that I have with my mother; she is the closest thing that I have ever found to a soulmate in this world.

MY INNERMOST THOUGHTS

i get that people find it hard to emotionally invest in me. my lifestyle is pretty overwhelming ... even for me. but that doesn't mean that i don't do love well. if anything ... i am the one who just can't let go

question

HOW EXACTLY DOES THE DISTRIBUTION OF FORTUNE WORK IN THIS WORLD?

question

WHAT IS IT ABOUT WISDOM THAT IS SO INCREDIBLY SEXY?

MY INNERMOST THOUGHTS

i tend to fall in love with people as soon as i meet them, only to get incredibly dissapointed once i found out who the hell they are. yeah...i am working on that

question

"WAS THIS THE FACE THAT LAUNCHED A THOUSAND SHIPS?" NO, BUT IT WAS THE FACE THAT CRIED OVER YOU A THOUSAND TIMES. DOESN'T THAT COUNT FOR ANYTHING?

MY INNERMOST THOUGHTS

whenever i am in a negative relationship there's only one dialogue that goes on in my head, "you could have known me and i would have made all the difference." and i grab what's left of my heart and get out!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year Everyone! Wishing you all love, light, and less ambivalence today, and always.
