Peaceful

My mother wanted to give me a name with significant meaning. She chose the name Saleema from the Islamic culture. The Arabic name Saleema means peaceful, and she added the letter "A" because I was a girl. My mom chose my name because she felt the meaning was appropriate to how she felt about my birth. I am happy to have this name because it is how I try to live my life.

Saleema, I think the story behind your name is beautiful. I would love to learn more about how you live your life. Can you write more details about how being "peaceful" affects your life now? What challenges challenge this peace? What do you do to use "peacefulness" to address these challenges?
