21 Day Meditation Challenge

I am going to participate 21 Day Meditation Challenge starting on Monday, March 11th for 3 weeks.   This challenge is hosted by Oprah and Deepak. 

As for me, I personally want to learn of how to mediate and journal based on what I have learned.  Sometimes I feel that I have too many things on my mind that kept me being distracted.  So, it will be a good practice for me.

Nelson Mandela by Kadir Nelson

I was reading a book with Nolan the other day of this week.  He chose a book...  an oversize book with a huge painting of Nelson Mandela.  This book is entitled Nelson Mandela written and illustrated by Kadir Nelson. 

He's is an extraordinary artist!

It was published in 2013.  And it has such beutiful illustrations among with sentences!  It is worth to read. 

As a result, Nolan learned of who Nelson Mandela is as a person.

This video has such a power message. It is a great advantage for babies and toddlers with hearing loss to receive early intervention services.

Also, it is important to start communicating with them, so this way their understanding of communication will not be delayed. Time is too precious.

This is the reason why early intervention services, Hands & Voices and Guide By Your Side program are available to assist parents and their children.

My Home Organization & Focus Experiment

 

I recognize that my home needs to have a major home organization.  So, I decided to follow a program entitled Home Organization 101:  a 14 week program to a perfectly organized home. 

In addition, I was reading a blog this morning based on a post entitled The Focus Experiment.  Since I have been struggling with focusing and completing my tasks and projects for long time, so I am going to give that tentative schedule that was created on this blog. 

So, I am going to see how I progress with my home organization and tentative schedule this week.

Election 2012: Analyze Yourself

I am sure that some of you, who have been hearing some heating discussions about Obama VS Romney based on Election 2012.

I admit that I was confused of who to vote based on their statements.  I want to share with you about a neat website, which you can analyze based on what you believe based on social, environmental, economic, domestic policy, healthcare, foreign policy, immigration, and science issues. 

Hopefully that seeing results based on percentages of who you stand with, help you to be well prepared of who to vote for.

Good luck!

Going Through Difficult Ordeal?

Unfortunately I am going through a difficult ordeal this summer.  I said to myself before that this summer is going to be terrible summer season.  I have learned from this post and from a friend of mine that "Yes, I am going through difficult time, but still I make some time to enjoy this season by doing some different activities such as scrapbooking, going to movies, going to parks, getaway travel, walking, bicycling, etc with my precious Nolan."

At the same time, I hope and pray that this ordeal will be short and sweet.  And that it will be resolved.

Any of you, who are going through some kinds of difficult ordeals, here is a great post written by Melissa Gorzelanczyk with Peace & Projects:  Simplify to do what you love.  It gives you 4 different ways to think and to act in positive ways instead of dwelling on ordeals of what it will happen in the near future.  Don't let ordeals control you.  This post made my day.

Most important thing is that we learn to take good care of ourselves and try to enjoy our lives.  Try our best to keep up with our tasks such as doing laundry, yard work, budget, cooking meals, workouts, etc in our daily lives.  And remember our blessings that we receive.
