From Executive Producer to Spiritual Artist: The Awakening of Margueritta Rahal Margueritta Rahal is a Lebanese multidisciplinary artist, award-winning author, and spiritual guide whose profound journey of self-discovery has shaped a unique creative mission. Her path from the fast-paced world of television to the introspective realm of art and literature is a testament to the transformative power of awakening. A Foundation in Literature and Media Rahal’s formal education began at Usek University (Holy Spirit University of Kaslik), where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature and Languages. Her early passion for writing flourished as a weekly blogger for beiruting.com for two years. This foundation seamlessly led her into a dynamic 15-year career as an executive producer in broadcast television across Lebanon and the Middle East. While successful, a pivotal shift occurred in 2021 when she left the media field to answer a deeper calling. The Spiritual Awakening and Shift to Art Rahal’s transition was born from a period of profound personal challenge, which she now recognizes as a spiritual awakening. Driven by a lifelong love for philosophy, she immersed herself in the study of various wisdom traditions, including Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism, and deepened her understanding of the mind’s potential through her work with Bob Proctor’s institution. This exploration converged the day she bought her first canvas. As a self-taught artist, she found that painting became the purest expression of her inner journey. Her early works, often portraying women, consistently featured a prominent focus on the head area, using hair, crowns, or clouds, symbolizing the expansive power of consciousness and the awakening process. Authoring a Path to Self-Connection Driven to share her insights and help others on their path, Rahal channeled her knowledge into writing. In 2024, she published “Meet Yourself for the First Time”, a self-reflection notebook designed to help people forge a deeper connection with their inner selves. The book’s impact was swiftly recognized when it received the prestigious “Golden Human” award in 2025. The Philosophy: Oneness and the Higher Self At the core of Rahal’s work is a powerful philosophy of Oneness. She believes that at a certain level of awareness, we awaken to the fundamental truth that we are collaborators with the creative force of the universe. She describes her art as an expression of her “Higher Self,” the extended, nonphysical version of oneself that holds locked-up potential. Each painting is not just an image but an invitation to viewers to connect with their own inner voice and unreasonable desires. Her mission is to “plant a seed” of this awareness in the mind of whoever is ready to see, not with their eyes, but with the highest faculty of the imagination. A Continuing Mission Today, Margueritta Rahal stands at the intersection of art, literature, and spirituality. She continues to create evocative paintings and empowering content, guiding others to look within, embrace their potential, and see the world through a lens of awakened possibility.

Hello, Joy Collectors! Have you ever noticed how big dreams can feel so far away? Like when people say, “I’d be thrilled if I won the lottery!” but then they can’t even find their car keys this morning? I think we’ve been taught to look for happiness in all the wrong places. We scan the horizon for massive victories while tripping over the tiny miracles at our feet. But what if the secret to a pleased life isn’t one giant leap, but a thousand little hops? Collecting little things. Little Magic Everywhere The most wonderful magic is happening right under our noses, in the quiet, simple moments we often overlook. It’s not in a bank vault or on a shiny screen. It’s in the warm, silly, and perfectly ordinary moments that make your soul do a little twirl. I like to think of it as a tiny joy revolution, a gentle, persistent uprising of good feelings led by people like you and me. While the world shouts for more, more money, more followers, more stuff, we’ve discovered a beautiful secret. True contentment isn’t about acquiring more; it’s about appreciating what’s already here. It’s in the way the morning light paints your wall with gold, or how your favorite song comes on the radio just when you needed it most. These moments are quiet, but they are powerful. They are the stitches that sew a day together, transforming an ordinary life into a tapestry of warmth and connection. Happy Words Make You Float In a world that often feels loud and demanding, there’s something incredibly powerful about a simple, kind word. When everyone is rushing toward the next big thing, we find absolute bliss in a perfectly timed compliment. Someone says, “Your laugh is like sunshine!” or “That thing you said was so smart,” and suddenly, your heart feels lighter. You’re not just having an okai day anymore; you’re floating through a wonderful one. It’s as if you’ve suddenly become the main character in your own feel-good movie, and the soundtrack is absolutely perfect. These words are like little gifts, handed to us by friends, family, and even strangers. They cost nothing to give, but their value is immense. They remind us that we are seen, appreciated, and connected. We tuck these compliments away in our hearts, pulling them out on tougher days like sweet, secret treasures. When Shows Fix Your Mood Let’s be completely honest for a moment. Is there anything more wonderfully absurd than the healing power of a great K-drama or your favorite comfort show? One minute, you’re a grumpy little cloud wrapped in a blanket, and the next, you’re fully invested in a fictional character’s quest for true love or their dream job. You find yourself clutching a pillow, gasping at the dramatic moments, and smiling at the sweet ones. The messy, chaotic world outside just melts away. In that moment, the only thing that truly matters is whether the two leads will finally confess their feelings. It’s a complete system reboot for your soul. This isn’t about escaping reality; it’s about giving your heart a much-needed pause, a gentle reset that allows you to return to your own life feeling softer, lighter, and ready to face whatever comes next. Hearts on Your Phone Then there’s that unique, modern-day joy: the digital hug. You post a story of your cat chasing a dust bunny or your attempt at baking bread, and then you see the notification. It’s from that creator you adore, the one whose words or music feels like a friend. They’ve hearted your story. Cue the internal (or maybe external!) happy squeal. You might even do a little spin in your chair. It’s a tiny red heart on a screen, sent from someone you’ve never met, and yet it feels like a secret, direct message from the universe itself, whispering, “Hey, I see you. You’re doing great.” It’s a connection that transcends distance, a small but significant reminder that our little corners of the world can touch someone else’s. Life’s Sweet Little Cookies We must remember that these aren’t just “little wins.” They are the essential, secret ingredients to building a happy and resilient life. If life’s major achievements, the new job, the big trip, are the spectacular, multi-layered birthday cake, then these small joys are the warm, sugar-dusted cookies. A life spent only waiting for the next cake would be a hungry one indeed. But a life that actively savors the cookies, the spontaneous smile from a baby in a grocery store, the first refreshing sip of a cold drink on a hot day, the cozy feeling of getting into a freshly made bed, that is a life that is constantly, gently, and sweetly nourished. It is in these moments that we truly live. Join the Quiet Rebellion So, let the world call us silly if it wants to. Let everyone else chase their loud, enormous victories. We know a better, kinder way. We’ll be right here, with our hearts open wide, continuing to collect our quiet, powerful treasures. We will find joy in the steam from our morning coffee, the sound of rain against the window, and the text from a friend that says simply, “Thinking of you.” We understand the beautiful truth: happiness is not a final destination you reach in one giant leap. It is a path you walk, and it is paved with a series of tiny, beautiful, and deeply personal hops. So keep collecting, keep noticing, and keep celebrating. Your collection of joy is the most valuable thing you will ever own. Let’s be happy together, tiny Joy collectors!

” ةِ مكسورة …Ta Maksoura…” The Play Murielle’s Rage: From Beauvoir’s pages to the stage When asked about the play’s essence, Dania described it as more than performance: “ةِ مكسورة …Ta Maksoura” is not merely a play—it’s an existential earthquake for one woman, voiced through the body and soul of millions who endure similar suffering in silence. It’s an adaptation from Simone de Beauvoir’s novel A Woman Destroyed, a French philosopher best known for her writings on women, with her book “The Second Sex” a detailed analysis of women’s oppression and a foundational text for contemporary feminism. Dania explained that the protagonist, Murielle, embodies this oppression—but she shatters her silence through a monologue that becomes an act of revenge against traditions, human relationships, and the entire social system. As Gustave Flaubert once wrote: “She took revenge through monologue.” A sharp, knowing smile crossed her face, the smile of someone who had danced with demons on stage and won—before she delved into the answer. What began as a university experiment became a crucible. Beauvoir’s text met her burgeoning courage, and the stage amplified both. She adapted Beauvoir’s brutally honest narrative to match her own courage at the time, but after opening night, that courage grew. The stage freed her to confront more “taboos” Beauvoir had exposed, transforming confession into liberation. Where she gave him a new skin that is not afraid to speak out. Dania confessed: “Murielle’s monologue wasn’t on paper anymore; it crawled under my skin. I stopped ‘performing’ and started bleeding on stage.” She chose this text out of her belief that true art is born in unsafe spaces: where vulnerability becomes aesthetic strength, where the body and voice channel rage and freedom rather than tears. This script dragged her from safe spaces to war zones; the character’s pain, when exposed, turned into her liberation…   She concluded: “Sometimes power lies in solitude. Every woman must take that first step towards freedom… because on the other side, life awaits you.” Explaining her directorial vision, Dania leaned forward with focused intensity, saying that Murielle no longer languishes in her cramped apartment on New Year’s Eve, tormented by noisy neighbors and street chaos. She relocated her to a mental asylum—her isolation crystallized in a bed and a cordless phone (a metaphor for her need for connection). Her psychological state develops with the progression of events and the dramatic line that she drew for herself.Her “wait for visitors who never came” turns the asylum into both prison and truth’s stage. She said: Beauvoir’s heroine, Murielle, ceased to be fiction; “She became our next-door patient, right there on the theater stage.”We’re all patients here, but only some of us speak. When we asked Dania about her personal journey, she leaned in closely and said that she enjoyed this experience very much, especially since she was the first to play this unstaged text by Beauvoir on a Lebanese stage and to deliver it to the people, alone on stage for no less than 35 minutes.A solo performance where she lived as Murielle, pulse synced to the audience’s breath. Her body became an open book, narrating every Lebanese woman’s silent struggle. Yet she rejects Murielle’s fate. Like the phoenix, she believes Lebanese women rise from ashes—stronger and brighter. When we asked her about the pressure and challenges she had to face, Dania met the question about pressure with a lifted chin and said: “Carrying the entire weight—adaptation, direction, acting, was grueling, especially during repeated emotional breakdown scenes.” A hollow look briefly entered her eyes. “Some scenes didn’t feel like acting. They felt like tearing open a wound again and again, and trusting the audience not to look away.” Then she confessed: “I had to stand firm in all circumstances, in the face of all obstacles, because if I fell, the entire play fall with me. Every second was a high-wire act.” In addition, she sent a special thanks to the management of the Sunflower Theater for giving her enough days to rehearse without any costs, in light of the difficult economic situation, and the inability to find other places at reasonable costs. She also credited her supervisor, Dr. Gabriel Yamin, for guiding her patiently. “A Grateful Message, To Her Sacred Witness, the Keeper of Her Unwritten Chapters”: She paused, choosing her next words with the care of someone touching a holy relic. Her gratitude was a quiet, powerful force, and she said: To You….. you are the only person who can read the name, because some stories are kept behind the scenes, and in my heart forever:You didn’t just show me the path, you inspired me to claw my own.When others doubted, you bet on my success.You read me like an open book, while others skimmed without understanding.You kept holding up the mirror until I saw myself through your eyes.Thank you…“You gave me small eternities—and for that, I’m forever grateful.” Dania ended not with a conclusion, but a provocation, her voice shifting from the past’s pain to the future’s rebellion. “ةِ مكسورة , Ta Maksoura…” was her theatrical firstborn. She poured into it unspoken fragments of herself—and of countless others gnawed at by hidden wounds that will keep gnawing at us forever, if we don’t talk about it. She shattered countless taboos, and she stood transformed as the curtain fell, lighter and freer. Now she sets tragedy aside to write comedy, not to mock pain, but to pull the rug from under its feet. After all, laughter is an act of rebellion against despair.None of this would’ve happened without stripping away masks, hers and the character’s. So she asks you: Which mask will you remove to set yourself free?
