Our House in South Lebanon is Gone by Farah Bazzi
I wake up every morning with one intention: to make today the best last day of my life. It’s how I start each day. I breathe in…inhale… and tell myself, today will be different. Today, I’ll embrace the beauty of existence without any interruptions. Every day, I pour my heart into simply being. I tell ...

Digital Minimalism and Ancestral Health (Or, Would Grok Tweet?)
Source: Digital Minimalism and Ancestral Health (Or, Would Grok Tweet?)

Digital Minimalism for Parents
Digital Minimalism for Parents March 2, 2019 One of the more interesting things about being on the road promoting Digital Minimalism is encountering readers and learning how they’re making use of these ideas. One such group that’s particularly interesting to me is digital minimalist parents. I’m a parent, but the oldest of my three boys ...

Snow, Roads, Birds and Plows blog by B Nimri Aziz Jan. 31/19
Shrugging off what’s called cabin fever, I depart, slowly, to test my car and traction on the roadway. I follow the country road along the Beaverkill River to town. A mile out, I notice something unusual—cars standing in front of each of two neighbors’ houses. I regularly pass these houses. I know that their owners ...
The Phrase of Doom
There is a phrase often used, and it has become all too accepted a phrase. I’m focusing on my experience with members of the Arab American community, who have lost the ways of our grandparents, who built wholesome families and shared their lives together. When men and women are looking to get married, they often ...
Marry a Partner, Not an Age Gap
Marriage is an institution that I deeply respect and cherish. Across cultures, there are so many variances to what a marriage ceremony looks like, and how spouses act toward one another, but there are so many common themes. On the macro level, marriage is a partnership, and depending on culture and tradition, specific or less ...

Awaken Your Imagination
This article was originally published on Instructions Sold Separately. When we think of the concept of imagination we travel back in time to our own childhood. We think of playing pretend, exploring nature’s bounty, creating contraptions and wondering what lies beyond the stars. As a child you are roaming the world trying to enjoy it, understand ...

To Nurse and Not to Nurse
This article was originally published on Instructions Sold Separately. In today’s society breastfeeding is more encouraged for mothers and babies than other means of nourishment. However, with our fast-paced lives and being career women, sometimes breastfeeding is not the best option. There are moms that are working full-time who are incapable of taking time to ...
Why are Arab American Students Among the Highest GPA Achievers?

Furthermore, education for Arab parents is a very important matter and it takes them a lot of time, money, and effort to help their kids to receive the highest GPA and get the best grades and highest achievers among all students.

Classroom at Home
This article was originally published on Instructions Sold Separately . It’s a long day when you must not only keep your child occupied but also learning while juggling everything else that you need to do. The way your child learns, how you structure their day and how you interact with him/her depends greatly on their temperament. ...
Acculturation
A well-known model of acculturation comes from John Berry, a psychologist and theorist, famous for the four-fold model of acculturation strategies. He theorizes that immigrants and immigrant communities generally follow one of four strategies in adapting to their new community. They either assimilate, separate, integrate, or marginalize. Briefly, assimilation is when the immigrant or the ...
A Woman’s Right to Move
When I was in eighth grade my teacher had us write down our goals for high school. My number one goal was to get accepted to the University of Michigan. I was unsure why I wanted to attend the institution so bad. Nobody in my immediate family had attended and I actually knew very little ...
Multicultural Match
So, one day you meet this guy on Match.com. He’s quiet. He’s interesting. He’s worldly and open minded. Oh, and did I mention he’s gorgeous? How is it possible this beautiful guy isn’t already snatched up? And how is it possible that he’s smitten with you? This is what I thought 13 years ago when ...

Dearborn Muslims Approach Summer with High Spirits and a Renewed State of Being
Most Dearborn schools have been out for about a week and some college spring classes have come to a close. The city celebrated the end of the Holy month of Ramadan and celebrated Eid Al-Fitr on Saturday for some and Sunday for others.
The Death Camp Scoop: Confessions Of An Arabic School Survivor
Previously, I touched upon the horrific institution of Arabic School as a last resort for parents who want to discipline their kids. Of course, that is an exaggeration. Arabic School is not meant to punish kids. It’s meant to serve a number of far greater purposes, such as language education, cultural awareness, and religious foundation. ...
The Slipper Scoop: Whoopin’ Dearborn Style!
Let’s face it, folks. There’s nothing like a good beating to really counter a child’s misbehavior. Yes, we know that it’s the 21st century now and ‘hugs not drugs’ and all that crap… but dissenters of this argument better have a really good explanation for why kids today are so outrageously arrogant, self-centered, and disrespectful. ...
The Hour Scoop: A Breakdown Of Dearborn’s ‘Arabic Time’
“Er-a-beek time. ER-A-BEEK time! ER-A-BEEK ER-A-BEEK ER-A-BEEK Time!” Dearborners of the 90’s will recall this funny little tune from the evening lineup of the Arabic television station “Sada El Arab”, which was, until the advent of Internet and satellite TV, Dearborn’s only link to the Arab world. But Arabic Time isn’t just a childhood memory; ...
The WAILI Scoop: How To Fit In At A Dearborn Funeral
Some day, my dear outsiders, you may have to pay your respects to Dearborn’s deceased. Dearborners are very dutiful in paying respects. Some can be so dutiful that it becomes a regular part of their Sunday afternoons. But it’s inspiring to see that this community has held on to that basic tenet of mutual respect. ...
Is Dearborn A City or A Settlement?
What makes a city a city and not a settlement?! A bunch of people living in houses in a large place makes a settlement. In order for a settlement to become a city, things need to happen. A city is where humans build a network of services, activities, and relationships, paint it with culture, literature, ...
The Solemn Scoop: A Memorial To Shocking Dearborn Tragedies
No community is without its tragedies. Some remain contained within the family; some consume the town; and others rattle the nation. A select few go on to enter the national psyche, retaining their names after the incidents’ locations (such as “Columbine”, “Oklahoma City”, and “Newtown, Connecticut”). This week, services are held in memory of Ali ...
The Winter Scoop: Four Ways to Enjoy the Snow in Metro Detroit

The Wedding Scoop: The Exclusive Rules of the Dearborn Wedding
I attended (yet another) Dearborn wedding last weekend, and in the process realized just how wildly unique these occasions truly are. Over the years, the Dearborn wedding culture has evolved into a beast of its own. Blending Middle Eastern and Arab-American traditions, Dearborn weddings have become a hashed hodge-podge of extravagant tedium. (Dearborners may find ...
