He was telling me about her travels to India as a school teacher and how she got the chance to spend time with kids who appreciated the smallest things such as the human touch. It makes one wonder, how often do we take the "little things" for granted?
She worked in a classroom the other day. A little boy sat in the corner and was said to be "slow" and incapable of keeping up with the rest of the class. He barely spoke any English and had difficulty doing just about any and every assignment she was directed to teach. She tried to help him and include him regardless. He cried every morning before going to class. His Mom stood with him until it was time to leave and you could see the pain in her eyes every time he held onto her leg crying.
The teacher did her best to include him. He got only about 1% of the work done in comparison to the rest of the class and when she tried to place him in table groups with the other children, he refused because he was ashamed of his lack of ability. The teacher smiled at him and helped him every chance she could. In the middle of a lesson she was teaching he ran to her and hugged her legs, smiling up at her. He repeated the gesture every day she was there and she responded with outstretched arms, ready to embrace him.
One could interpret the hug and smile as a gift of appreciation for accepting him regardless of his abilities or lack thereof. Out of all of the kids in the classroom, he is the 1%, whom, with teamwork, has a 99% chance of finding the way to a brighter day.

Aunt Teresa
Theresa, our family's Devine nun and Great Aunt, resides in a Edmonton, Canada at a renewal center. She is way too cute for a 95 year old lady if you want my opinion. I have to share a story with you about her.
Just recently, a guy came to the convent looking for her. She came to the door to meet him and he handed her an envelope. She opened it and found $500 cash.
It turns out she had given him $75 years ago when he was homeless and struggling and he came to thank her for her kindness.
God bless the man and her for their kindness.

Dolphins
Dolphins are one of my favorite animals. I’ll always remember the story I heard about dolphins helping humans because it opened my eyes to one of the most wonderful creatures in the sea… dolphins are just as cute as can be and I’m hoping they’ll always play around me.
The story goes a little something like this:
A group of teenagers were getting life guarding lessons somewhere on the outskirts of Australia. One dolphin came swimming over and called another, followed by a few more, and soon enough… A swarm of dolphins surrounded the group and swam circles around them for hours. Every time one member of the group attempted to swim away from the swarm, they would bump the human back into the middle of the circle with the others. This went on for about 4 hours when finally the instructor got a glance of a huge shark swimming under the pack of dolphins. The dolphins were saving the humans from a potential attack. When the shark left, the dolphins did as well and the group of lifeguards were able to return home safely.
Enjoy the video. Love.

This video is based on a frequency that is suppose to be a healing frequency. I hope you enjoy.

Cupid's Arrows
What I like about this painting is how it depicts Cupid as a child.

Who are we?
What I like about this photo is it fits right into the museum and its so easily available to us.
This photo is one I was inspired to take at the museum.
What I like about this photo is the woman with child in a calm and peaceful setting.
What I like about all three artistic displays is how all three are female/woman with child. The reality is, if you lift a woman, you lift a child... and the reverse is also true.
