Bio: A little bit about me.....? You know, I play this game with my clients (and readers) alllllll the time! I ask them personal questions about themselves and then stare them down till they dig deep into the pit of their souls to come up with self-defining answers. But now that it's my turn..... Okay, so my job as a therapist requires me to mute and listen; yet my job as a writer requires me to BOL (that's 'brag out loud') about all my credentials (publishers love when we brag!) and since there's obviously no middle ground between both options, I'll opt for the untraveled road. I'll break the seal and tell you the secrets I’ve been keeping from all of you…. -Lilly is not my real name; my friends came up with it a million years ago on account of a childhood trauma! -I’m a person who thinks life is wonderfully weird (and sometimes just down-right peculiar, but you know) and here’s why: Fresh out of college, I was already immersed way too deep in the field of photography. I had big ‘behind-the-camera’ dreams, until my ‘Keratoconus’ disease got out of hand, and my eye doctor said ‘If you want to keep your sight you should stay away from the studio light’ (I’m also a person who writes cheesy rhymes apparently!) Long story short, it was ‘Bye Bye Photography’ and ‘Hello Psychology’. -I never set out to be a therapist, it was my soul mate who saw a hidden talent in me, and urged me to pursue a career in Psychotherapy. (I honestly wanted to be a Hijabi fashion designer!) -I’m a single mom, a born Muslim (AlhamduAllah) and a proud Egyptian. (I’m also a chronically incurable chocolate addict and now that you know the truth, I truly hope you’ll accept me for who I am). -I LOVE my readers! I read every single comment on my articles and try as much as I can to personally reply to each one. I even have a special glittered scrapbook where I keep cutouts of my favorite ones! (I wasn’t supposed to disclose the ‘glitter’ part, was I?) -Every therapy client has changed something in me, and given me pearls of wisdom that I’ll forever cherish. And I can’t wait to share them with you in this blog. Some stories will make you grateful, others will make you wonder, and maybe some will even piss you off, but I promise you, they’ll all add something special to your life, too. We don’t necessarily have to ‘make the mistakes’ to ‘learn our lessons’. We can learn from other people’s mistakes, and build on them. Can I tell you something….? I’ve always wondered where the safest place on Earth was so I can run to it and call it home. Until I discovered it’s not something you stumble upon, it’s something you create. It’s the place where you can pour your heart out, relate to others’ heartaches and pains, share your deepest fears and most beautiful, even unrealistic dreams… Where you can just be yourself, totally undone…. If that’s what you need in your life right now, then I’d love to welcome you to this blog… It’s safe and warm and so cozy in here….. It’s a place you can call ‘home’ All my love, Lilly S. Mohsen Wanna contact me? Just holler and I'll be there as soon as I can
