did i do the right thing?

just come out of the most excrutiating three months hunting for a property? know its found i begin a lifetime of stress worrying about bank re-payments,...giving myself an ulcer wandering if this is all ok.

my family, just think i'm gullible and doing this for all the wrong reasons, im thinking in for a penny in for a pound.
is there a bright side to this i have to wander, my stars say 2006, should be a good year, i don't know,...personally astrology seems just a bit bogus, something to give you false hope, when you need encouragement or someone to affirm that your'e on the right track. be that as it may, i've probably just made the biggest commitment i'm ever gonna make next to tying the knot. so here's to 2006.

just read a great book recently, asra nomani's, "standing alone in mecca" i really appreciated her honesty, and guts. taking on the islamic establishment, to give women access to their local mosques, fantastic. she just made me realise that i've never entered a mosque, in my on country ever. have never questioned why, either.
just accepted the situation as it is, part of the way things are. asra made me realise what a load of croc it all is. in this country traditionally and culturally mosques are where men go to be spiritually uplifted, women's place is at home, why the hell is that so, after 40 years of apartheid, i think women in this country should be reclaiming their right to worship, in a mosque, no where is it written, that we are to be kept away from places of worship.

so taking up the fight, i penned a letter to the editor of the local newspaper, attempting to see wether there would be other like minded people in my community, well sadly i never made it on to the letters page, but i haven't given up trying either. so mr editor prepare to be inundated by letters from yours truly :)
probably just me trying to find something to occuppy myself with, something totaly unrelated to property payments, and fledgling business's struggling to get off the ground.
here's wishing on a star.
