A Sprinkle of Al Sharq: A Walk In The Park
http://sprinkleblog.blogspot.com/2008/06/walk-in-park.html
A Sprinkle of Al Sharq. Sunday, June 1, 2008. A Walk In The Park. By three pm the walls around my house make it so dark inside that I have to turn lights on and close curtains so no one can see inside. Today I couldn't stand it. It. Was my wedding anniversary. We live on a street in a local neighbourhood, not a compound. How long before she's hidden away, never to be seen by the world again? She probably can't wait to don the symbol of womanhood, proof that she is too beautiful for mere mortals who would...

A Sprinkle of Al Sharq: Holding Tight
http://sprinkleblog.blogspot.com/2013/09/holding-tight.html
A Sprinkle of Al Sharq. Wednesday, September 18, 2013. I've written about expat women living in Saudi blindsided. By their husbands converting to Islam, taking a second wife, with or without their knowledge, using that position to gain custody of their children, forcing them to leave the country and return empty home handed. They never think it will happen to them. If something happened to me. They would break her spirit, steal her innocence, and destroy her soul. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A Sprinkle of Al Sharq: Dependent
http://sprinkleblog.blogspot.com/2014/03/dependent.html

A Sprinkle of Al Sharq: Surprise!!!
http://sprinkleblog.blogspot.com/2014/02/surprise.html
A Sprinkle of Al Sharq. Monday, February 17, 2014. I always thought that if I ever got married a second time it would have to be about me and the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with. For us, about us, not anyone else, no fuss, and no stress. Something calm, somewhere calm. A memory for us. So that's what I did. We eloped. On Valentine's Day. In Denmark. It was perfect. All the best and livelong happiness amd lots of laughter together. I am so, so very happy for you! It is all so amazing!
