Thank you to all of my friends who congratulated me on my latest article.

Thank you to a lovely young lady who surprised me with flowers and chocolates today.

Thank you to a young man who told me he is proud of me.

Thank you to Nada for everything.

Thank you to the amazing Jack Shaheen- the author of Reel Bad Arabs- whose kind words are a push for beginners like me to follow the path of great thinkers like him.
