where's the love?

It's hard waking up every morning only to turn on the tv and see something on the news that hurts me in some shape, way or form. it bothers me to see people so angry and so hurtful. i have made it my goal to do small things to brighten peoples day. even if it is something as small as offering a smile to some body who looks sad, i want to make a difference. and what makes it even better is that making a difference doesn't have to cost anything. you can do it for free and feel good about yourself for the rest of the day/week/year.

i once read true story about a desperate man who stopped for a moment to read a bumper sticker on the back of some ones car. the sticker read: someone loves you. he then knocked on the door of the owners house, when the woman opened the door the man simply thanked her, to which her reply was "but sir, i haven't done anything." the man smiled and told her that he had planned to end his life before he read the sticker on her car. it reminded him that some one DID love him even when he thought no one cared. he told her of his hard life and of everything he had lost. without a word the woman gave the desperate man a hug and invited him in for dinner. without even knowing what she had done she had saved that mans life and given him a reason for living again. he left that house with a new friend and new hope to help him on his way.

my goal is to effect someone in such a way. i want to do what good i can while i am here and i want to encourage you to do the same. smile, donate change to some one who needs it or a charity. go through your closet, basement, attic and clear up some of that clutter. I'm not saying get rid of things that matter to you, but old cloths and toys can go to goodwill. your small good deed can make a world of difference to some one in need. if a bumper sticker can save a man from himself think of what you can do. if you would like more information about goodwill, or if you would like to volunteer check out Goodwill Industries International

bracelet of my life

i was going through some old boxes and was pleased when i found my Italian charm bracelet, i was so happy to find it was not in fact lost. Not that i had forgotten about it i just packed it with some other things and was upset when i wanted it. i love these kind of bracelets! i think its awesome that you can choose the charms that fit you. each one has its own meaning. i have three birthstones on mine with some other nick-nacks like a strawberry, a moon, kaydens birthstone and a symbol for "happiness." small yet very meaningful things i connect with kayden and my life. its nice that jewelry can be so personal. these niffty little charms can be found on the internet for very good prices, you can still find them in stores as well. they have almost anything you could ask for, to make sure you have just what you need! it still amazes me that my jewelry can still be personal and mean so much. i am still looking for some charms to complete my bracelet, but what is great about these charms is that you can start another after you "replace" the blank charms with the ones you want. keep the blank ones, they hook back together and make the first bracelet you bought. you can start "replacing" your charms all over again! have fun and get creative!

more teas please

so anyone who knows me knows i am all about the natural way to help my body help itself. i love to drink teas instead of taking pills that could harm your body more then help it, and you can drink a lot of tea while you are pregnant. my house is always stocked with teas that can help ease headaches, reduce upset tummys and tummy pains, relax your body and help you sleep. i have spent a lot of time looking in to teas i could drink when i was prego to help my body cope with all the changes. one of my favorites was chamomile tea which is used to help relax you and aid sleep, it also helps to relieve symptoms of a cold. Mint tea is also used to relax and can help relieve a pesky headache. Ginger tea is great when you are prego! it improves circulation, relieves cold and flu symptoms, eases stomach cramps and nausea, and reduces menstrual cramps! these are just a few of the teas you can drink to help your body heal itself. the three that i have mentioned are safe too drink while you are pregnant, however not all teas are good for the baby so be sure to ask your doctor are read up on the teas you drink. for more information you can check out Health Benefits of Herbal Teas.
