Ramadan, a holy month of fasting, prayer, and community for Muslims is right around the corner. It’s a time to reflect on faith, spend with family, and give to charity. It’s also a perfect time to get creative with family and friends.

- Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.
- During Ramadan, Muslims don’t eat or drink anything during daylight hours.
- The meal Muslims eat before sunrise is called Suhoor.
- The meal Muslims eat after sunset to break their fast is called Iftar.
- The end of Ramadan is celebrated with Eid ul-Fitr, the Festival of the Breaking of the Fast.

Where you plant love, there you will find your Valentines.
This too shall pass. A new season is guaranteed to be born. Whatever season you are currently in, whether you’re enjoying it or not, it will come to an end and a new season will begin. Put a jacket on, sit by a cozy fire and wait for the thaw.
