AT ebb time I wrote a few lines upon the shore..and gave them all my heart and all my soul..at tide time I returned to read what I had inscribed and found my ignorance upon the shore.."jubran khalil"

:: Meeting Kinzi.

We all know Kinzi from her valuable comments around Jordan Planet.I got the chance to meet Kinzi a few days ago,and I must admit putting a face to the name was exactly what I expected it to be.Kinzi is a wealth of information when it comes to humanitarian issues ,talking to her is enlightening,and seeing her with her four kids was a great lesson in parenting.I can barely manage two,and yet in the hour we spent together,I could hardly feel there were any children in the house.I picked up a few parenting tricks ,like setting the timer to take turns with toys,new toys can be monopolized for one day only after which they should be shared,and she only asks them to look her in the eye,and it's magic!They know what she wants,AND do it too!!
I know that everyone who has read her comments can tell what a clever and fun person she is.
I can't wait till she takes the decision to start her own blog.That will be one thing to watch out for.Thanks for having me ,Kinzi,and hope to meet with you again.

Yes Salam, you can talk for ever about her magical way of controlling life issues! And that is just by reading her enlightening comments here and there.

And I am surprised to know her birthday is today!!! The same day as my wife to be!!!

Hani, Happy birthday to your fiance! Funny!

Wedad, Salam, Tololy Hani and firas, thanks for the birthday greetings! It was a sweet gift from God to have the post fall on my day.

Firas, I think I will (and Salam?) be going to the JP meet-up on the 31st... so we could all be blessed by one another's presence!
