Admit when things aren’t working
Print Friendly, PDF & Email

I always wanted an Aloe Vera plant so you can only guess how happy I was to buy one from a hippy chick at a farmers market. “What can I use it for?” I asked with the enthusiasm of a new Aloe Vera owner.”Burns” she said, pocketing my cash. I was a bit disappointed, burns are a mercifully rare occurance in my family, I wanted something I could supplement with.

Then she explained that I could break off a tip of any leaf and suck out the gel – the tip would just grow right back.

That night I broke the tip off one leaf and ate the most bitter and nasty gel I can ever remember eating, the leaf didn’t grow back either, it just shrivelled and slowly died.

Still I did not learn, I put the Aloe Vera in the corner of my bath and put little heart shaped stones around it.

Alas, last month (after over a year of nurturing) I finally opened my eyes and admitted – that is one ugly plant. Even the hamster doesn’t want to eat it.

So for months I’ve lived with an ugly, bad tasting plant just because I didn’t want to see it for what it was. The dream Aloe Vera did not match the real thing. I’ve now put it out of sight and am better for it.

If you have a little part of your life which isn’t working, take one step to change it today.

Nearly on the verge of divorce

Attending this two-day workshop was a memorable experience.

It helped my marriage at a time when it was nearly on the verge of a divorce.

Alhamdulillah, this is 6 years of a peaceful marriage – been married 18 years now.

Sara has helped me in so many ways!

By allowing me to feel more empowered, by showing me how to action boundaries,

by helping me to find my self-esteem,

by explaining how other people may be feeling and how to understand this,

by enabling me to do self-care things which are helpful to me.

I began seeing the man I married that very evening.

I came to the session thinking it cant help my marriage that drastically but the effects were instantaneous!

I now have the tools to continue making improvements within my marriage, most importantly changes within myself.

Universal Principles

Principles that you can apply to any aspect of your life and relationships not just in marriage!

I’ve come such a long way since my work with you

I was in such a mess with that relationship. I worked through my worthiness, self-love, finding myself and building my relationship with Allah. You introduced me to a whole new world

The Four Traits of a Cherished Muslimah

Sara’s words penetrate deep

Sara empowered me to set boundaries, and stand up for myself.

She reminded me about my intentions and goals, and in general to have a much happier marriage and life.
