.arabic..not sure will correct on edit ..but translated to English is--kind thoughts, kind words, kind actions. Simple prayer right? No..it's was a struggle at first bc I was not practicing on self..being careful with mi corazon y alma ..always worrying about others bc we are taught to be that way..yes, it is as it should be--but, in my case..needed to take care of my heart, my soul first and only then could I reach out to others with so sometimes only with a prayer in my heart to gift them bc that is all I had. Take care.

Paz.

(Note: Mija: an endearment from an elder)
