The Books are here!!

I wanted to let everyone who donated to the school via Hands Across the Sea that the new books and arts supplies have arrived at the school!

It was quite an exciting day for all of us. I will be posting pictures and videos soon.

We are still in the process of working out a few minor details within our library center (i.e. library cards, a few more shelves). Once this is complete we intend to hold a special ceremony to present the new material to the students and parents. The goal is for the teachers, students and parents  to recommit to care and upkeep of the library and new material.

Again, thank you for all of your support. Pictures and thank you notes coming soon :)

Sunday reflections

...I have come to the conclusion that I am much more of an introvert than previously thought

...with that said, cooking is more fun when there is someone else to enjoy the meal with.

...we create our reality which is largely defined by our perception of our experiences

...I plucked another gray hair today *sigh*

... in life the RESTART button works wonders (try it!)

...I will be home to visit  in less than a month (big big smile)

...Silence is as essential as sound, listening and speaking with your heart takes practice

Final post of the 30 day gratitude campaign. Thanks again to up and coming  author Kenya Jackson for setting this in motion. A wonderful way to celebrate 11.11.11. (World Day of Interconnectedness) and Day of Thanks this month. I just love November- Sweet Sweet November. The big day is right around the corner sending you much support. Remember it is what we do  "in the meantime" that keeps our innermost desires on target."Your energy is where you last left it"...
