Celebrating small moments in healing, gratitude, and growth

Kindness no needs to wait at all even in time of weakness and vulnerable. The day when we feel powerless, we realize that kindness is the only power we possess. I strongly remember that when I was a child, I never got celebrated. I am not talking about achievements or things like that. I am talking about little things, priceless ones that matter for me and leave marks in my heart.

Thank you to Alex Elle that reminds me and us, "Make a habit out of celebrating the small moments in healing, gratitude, and growth." From now on I am taking care my inner child and my adult self. I know it's not too late because healing and building peace require endless efforts daily till last day of life.

(Isti Toq'ah)

Today (Wednesday, June 28th, 2023) Indonesia was, again, shaken by the corruption news of non-active Governor of Papua, Lukas Enembe, arrested by Corruption Eradication Commission ( Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi / KPK ) whose operational cost during his tenure from 2019 to 2022 reached a trillion rupiah in a year. Enembe confessed he has budgeted 400 billion rupiah annually for meals and drinks. If a year consists of 365 days, it means he used at least a billion each day. It's not yet the cigarette, parking, recreation, and so on, no? Doesn't he ever think about the Papuans who don't have access to

Sumber Foto: Koleksi Pribadi Sudah lama ngefans dengan Pak Haidar Bagir dan sempat sekali melihat Beliau langsung saat menemani #KarenArmstrong membahas bukunya "12 Langkah Menuju Hidup Berbelas Kasih." Pada saat itu saya masih bau kencur, mahasiswi tahun awal, dan tidak berani untuk ikut antri tanda tangan buku apalagi menyapa Pak #HaidarBagir. Belakangan saya mengikuti Nuralwala karena sudah bertahun-tahun saya diam-diam jatuh cinta pada #Sufisme (ceritanya sangat panjang dan awalnya sedih, tapi saya sangat bersyukur). Saya memutuskan memulai membeli dan membaca #buku Pak Haidar. Jujur ini buku kedua yang saya baca "#Islam #Tuhan Islam #Manusia." Buku pertama adalah "Memulihkan #Sekolah Memulihkan Manusia." Buku ini benar-benar menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan saya dan bahkan ikut mengobati luka saya yang bertahun-tahun saya pendam sendiri. Semoga suatu hari saya bisa berkesempatan hadir di acara diskusi Pak Haidar dan bisa bertanya langsung pa
