About Me

I am a typical 27 year old female from the United States. My mother is from Sicily and my father is from Persia. I haven't spoken to my father in many years and my mother lives 1200 miles from me. I am the oldest of 12 children and have four other sisters and 7 brothers, the youngest is 16. I am 5'0 and of athletic build. I have recently decided that I should learn more about my father's family and his beliefs. As a non practicing muslim woman (and unmarried), I find myself agreeing more and more with the way my father thinks us girls should behave. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada (nick named Sin City).

The Title Says it All

The title says it all. This is all you need to know about my view on life. "When you believe, Somehow you will". It is from a movie called the Prince of Egypt. The song is placed below for people to think about.

"When you believe"
Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear-In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood.
Now we are not afraid-Although we know there's much to fear.
We were moving mountains long before we knew we could!
There can be miracles
When you believe-Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill.
Who knows what miracles You can achieve
When you believe Somehow you will,
You will when you believe.

In this time of fear,
When prayer so often proved in vain,
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away.
Yet now I'm standing here
With heart so full I can't explain,
Seeking faith and speaking words I never thought I'd say.

There can be miracles When you believe-
Though hope is frail, It's hard to kill.
Who knows what miracles You can achieve
When you believe Somehow you will, You will when you believe.

A~shi~ra i'a~don~ai ki ga~oh ga~ah (i will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously)

A~shi~ra l'a~don~ai ki ga~oh ga~ah (i will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously)

Mi~cha~mo~cha ba~elim adonai (who is like you, oh Lord, among the celestial)

Mi~ka~mo~cha ne~dar~ ba~ko~desh (who is like you, majestic in holiness)

Na~chi~tah v'~chas~d'~cha am zu ga~al~ta (in your love, you lead the people you redeemed)

Na~chi~tah v'~chas~d~cha am zu ga~al~ca (on your love, you lead the people you redeemed)

A~shi~ra, a~shi~ra, a-shi~ra...(i will sing, i will sing, i will sing...)

There can be miracles When you believe-
Though hope is frail, It's hard to kill.
Who knows what miracles You can achieve
When you believe Somehow you will-
Now you will, You will when you believe.
You will when you believe.
