miswak..

I have been wanting to start..implement...forever put in our blood that this is the only way to live...is miswaking...it has been tuff.

mom told me today that in one of her lectures, a woman told farhat hashmi to use miswak to get rid of hypothyroidism! (u miswak and go all the way back until u gag).. too good to be true, huh? it feels like it..but i believe that if u start this sunnah with the firm belief in its benefits cuz our Rasul has said so, it will heal anything and everything...strange how strongly i feel that yet don't implement it.. is this hypocricy?

anyhow, i dug some info on it...here r some links to look into soon..

NO PROGRESS can truly be made, in any sort of joyful or even efficient manner, if the FOUNDATION is MISSING. hint-hint ;)

LUV it! I can think of so many things that can be applied here...go back and dig at the foundation...

Leebah's teeth are soooooo horrible. I get nervous looking at them. DH thinks they r not getting worse, so it is ok...i am not under the same impression...
