LOL! Oh my! I've been away for so long I've lost track of days! Ok Shawn, here it goes: I bought my friend several little things: an ecological bag to go to the supermarket, a blouse, an aromatherapy scent and a little pillow to put over the eyes ...
What was the "beautiful gift" you bought for your friend? Where did you take your Cousin out to? details, details please!!! LOL!!
I laughed out loud at your paper and water tricks, because i have done "the worm" trick for all my kids and many oth...
Basically, this week has gone by with me helping my sister with the kids, celebrating my dear friend's b-day and getting her a beautiful gift, taking a brazilian cousin out and recommending him places to go, going to yoga, tending to the house and...
The water and paper experiment started because I reminded my nephew about the time we got the paper holding a straw- have you noticed how when we get the straw out we shrink it and looks like a mini accordion? Well, if you let a drop of water fall...
Yeah, I'm curious too about the paper and water experiment! it sounds fun and mischievious! LOL! A very nice give of your caring presence to your friend. And all the babysitting you do for your family too!
Shawn
you have stayed very busy giving to your family! i am curious, what kind of experiment involves paper and water? is it the one where you fold a cup out of paper and fill it with water? hope you and your cousin find an auspicious place to rent for ...
You should be proud of that plaque Shawn, he will thank you later for it! I had lots of "encounters" with my dad when I was teenager, in the end, it is because we are very similar in many ways, but I really confronted him and challenged him, thus,...
OMG!!! that's my dream car!!!!!!!
It makes perfect sense Dawn. It is, in the end, not about what we do or enjoy, but why we do it and enjoy it. For you it is the time you spend with him, so be it a bike or a jeep, he's there with you and that's what really matters.
Congratulations! Your life is full of blessings!
A week has gone by and here i am now, trying to remember everything I did, jejeje
Ok, Last Sunday my aunt, brothers and me went to the movies and later had lunch together at home. We didn't want to leave our dog alone for too long, so we spent th...
So glad you are reading "A New Earth" and letting it inspire you. That book was helpful for me also. What a beautiful being you are Cristiana!

- Cristiana, grits are sort of a coarse cornmeal made of hominy that people eat here in the South US. we cook them like a cereal and serve them with butter and salt. usually they are eaten with eggs at breakfast time. after i wrote that i thought "you dummy, they might not have them in Costa Rica!"
i put a picture of Hope in today's post just for you. Hugs, Dawn

Another week
Basically, this week has gone by with me helping my sister with the kids, celebrating my dear friend's b-day and getting her a beautiful gift, taking a brazilian cousin out and recommending him places to go, going to yoga, tending to the house and doing bank errands for my father. Just routine, but I have had fun. :)

Three days in a row
I'm behind again! Three days have gone by and I haven't posted anything here. There is no excuse, only the fact that I've been doing lots of things.
On Thursday, I helped my sister with my niece and nephew. It is a mystery why, as soon as she arrives at home, she get so sleepy that she falls on a couch or bed and goes to sleep like a baby. I guess she's tired. Anyway, I worked a little and was planning on enjoying my niece and going to yoga class at 7:30 p.m., until I got a call from a client s… Continue

I offer you food...
Today was a nice day. I slept at my sister's since we had to go to my cousin's today and I spent the whole day with my niece, caring and playing with her. How great! We had lunch at a restaurant with my cousin (whom I complimented on her hair because she just cut it and it looks gorgeous) and again, I took the leftovers to give to someone hungry. When coming back home, a man approached the car at a light asking for money, instead we offered him the food. Of course he accepted and immediately ate… Continue

The habit of giving
Today is the first day of my second round, to call it something. My wish is to make giving a habit, part of my daily life and expectations. My day started early today, caring for my garden and working. I had to run errands too, so I managed to organize my time pretty well and get everything done very quickly. My giving today consisted in listening to a friend who called me to tell me something she thought would bother me, but it didn't, not at all. I just accepted what she said (she was a part o… Continue
