About Me
- bint alshamsa
- New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
- Above all else, I am proof that having an incurable cancer doesn't mean that your life is over. I am also the mother of a gifted child who has been an artist since she was born. We live in the southern part of the beautiful state of Louisiana. I'm a biology student on hiatus as I heal from treatment. Besides English, I can speak Arabic, a bit of French and Spanish and nothing more than a few phrases in German but I'm working on it. I love cats and plants even though I only have 2 of each. Some of my friends call me Tulip. You're free to do the same.

Let's pick on Palin. Oh, my...yes!
Hi Tulip! I was led here from Umm Salilah. I met her in a Muslim recipe group. She said you have lupus like I do. I'm married to a Muslim translator, and just know enough Arabic to know that Bint Alshamsa means daughter of Alshamsa. It's nice to read your blog and get to know you better. If you visit my blog you'll find lots of spiritual/Christian references, but don't judge me too quickly for that. I'm quite open minded and tolerant. I'd have to be, in order to marry out of my faith, and to get an advanced degree in world religions.
I see you also know about "Original Faith". It's so funny how we think we are meeting someone new in a new circle of friends and it turns out that they are connected with our circle of friends somewhere. I post there often and have become friends with Paul Martin because of both of our levels of disabiity. Lupus AND cancer? You're the first I've ever known with both. My Doctors always told me its nearly impossible to get cancer with lupus, but if it did happen, the chemo would kill me faster than the cancer. Good to know you!
Blessings,
Bluebirdy
