I'd also like to mention a word in memory of two blogs that are no longer with us, Karen Hanson's A Portrait of the Artist as a Muslim Woman and Cindy's Blog.

Inshallah, both these sisters are doing well in their lives and I hope for my own benefit that they'll return to blogging when they're ready.
