27 Gratitudes for my 27th Year

Does your birthday ever sneak up on you? I can’t believe I’m turning 28 in a couple of days… this year flew by! It’s definitely been eventful though. A LOT happened during my 27th journey around the sun and I’m still kind of catching my breath. But as I sit here thinking about it all, my heart feels incredibly full. So I can’t think of a better way to end this chapter than with gratitude.

Here are 27 things I’m grateful for from my 27th year of life:

God. And the freedom I find in practicing faith and surrender.
Having parents who never stop finding ways to take care of me… no matter how old I get.
A husband who inspires and uplifts me. And experiencing our bond unfold and transform with each new day.
Going on a European adventure with said husband.
The kindness of strangers (especially while traveling).
Some of said strangers turning into good friends.
Moving into an apartment I love.
Transitioning into a job with a flexible schedule.
The courage to start something new.
The grit to keep going.
The rough patches that helped me prove myself… to myself.
Supportive family and friends that encourage me to be brave.
All of my teachers. The ones I’ve received lessons from directly and those who’ve taught me through their books, blogs, podcasts, etc…
Witnessing the beauty of true sisterhood.
The existence of nature. And the sense of peace I find in it.
Feeling all the feelings… even the tough ones.
Having tools that help me work through the difficult feelings.
Reclaiming my identity as a creative.
Starting to embrace the teacher within me.
Getting back in touch with my inner girly-girl.
The moments of laughter and play.
The clarity born from short stretches of solitude.
The glimpses of inspiration.
Developing even deeper connections with the people I love most… by allowing myself to be vulnerable and honest.
The shift that came in my relationship with money when I decided to practice trusting that I’ll always have what I need. The struggle continues, but the progress is significant.
All the magic that came from giving myself permission to make mistakes.
Experiencing the tangible benefits of nurturing myself. And really starting to believe that when I make sure I’m ok, everything else will be too.

It wasn’t always easy, but it’s been a really great year. As I enjoy these last few days of being 27, I’d love to hear how YOU celebrate birthdays and other milestones. And also a few things you’re grateful for! Please share in a comment below this post or an email!

Testimonials

"Hanaa is an amazingly warm and compassionate person who makes you feel at ease from the get-go. She’s a great listener and empathizer, so you know you’re working with someone that genuinely cares about you."

Costina - Coaching and EFT Client

"Working with Meimuna has been life changing and the best investment I’ve made. In addition to helping me work on emotional issues, Meimuna also provided me with advice on self care, channeling creativity and finances in a culturally competent way. She goes above and beyond as a coach and visibly invests so much of her time and thought into you as her client. I would highly recommend Meimuna as a coach for anyone!"

Lienna - Coaching Client

"I love that Hanaa truly personalizes tips and suggestions, which shows how attentive she is throughout the sessions. The time put into the course is totally worth it. Rather than having someone talk at you, Hanaa listens and talks with you. She provides thoughtful questions and feedback that lead you to engage in introspection and come to conclusions that are best suited for you. The course really takes a practical approach to your own definition of happiness and helps you to find that in your everyday life."

Fairuz, Student of How to be the Happiest You Course/Group Coaching

"From the very first session, I felt an instant connection and acceptance from Meimuna. She was far from judgmental and made me feel very safe to express myself. My favorite part about coaching with her was that it felt like I was talking to a friend. She always made me feel comfortable to be able to express whatever was going on in my life and helped me work through my problems in a logical way."

Farzana - Coaching Client

"Hanaa listened. Often when we have goals, we need clarity. We may have so many different ideas or there may be many different ways to accomplish a goal that we feel overwhelmed. Hanaa allowed me to talk about my goals and concerns and she truly listened. This allowed me to talk out certain ideas, gain direction, and brainstorm solutions. In addition to listening, we also worked together to develop techniques that I could do to gain further clarity. With Hanaa, I went from being overwhelmed to focused!"

Taqwa - Coaching Client

“My favorite thing about coaching with Meimuna was having a truly safe space to share all my thoughts then hold discussions that really challenged me and forced me to question a lot of assumptions/beliefs I didn't even realize I held. This was really helpful because as introspective and self-reflective as we think we are, we all have blind spots and having someone with an objective viewpoint to reveal them to us is essential.”

Anonymous - Coaching Client

"Hanaa creates a very welcoming environment that makes it easy to talk and share. She holds space for me so that I feel safe enough to share my struggles and she helps me to address them in a calm, loving way that makes me feel it is okay to open up."

Maleeha - EFT Client

“Meimuna is easy to talk to and not judgmental. Even though I didn't know or believe it at the time, my sessions with her did help me tremendously. She helped me overcome my obsession to be in control and I'm able to think much more clearly and am not fearful all the time. I liked being able to have conversations in a non traditional way. It felt more like a friendship than a therapist and patient relationship and that made me feel comfortable.”

Farhana - Coaching Client

"Finding answers within yourself is exhilarating. You'll start thinking with a new perspective and you'll see the little things that you never thought mattered actually caused were a burden and you can finally let them go. This course will help you find answers and make yourself a priority. It'll lighten the load and allow for true happiness to sink in."
