Breath Control Exercise

This is the Farmer who sold the corn
That fed the cock
That crowed in the morn
That waked the Priest all shaven and shawn
That married the man all tattered and torn
That kissed the maiden all forloin
That milked the cow with crumpled horn
That tossed the dog
That worried the cat
That killed the rat
That ate the malt
That lay in the house that Jack built

Wounds of the Heart inspired by a client

Sores of the feet I walk no more
Alone. all alone to die
I cannot move
I wait for them, they come no more
I call, the bell rings
My thumb hurts
My hands are frail
They do for me no more
I am weak unable to move about
I shower no more
Alone, yes alone

The phone rings and rings
No answer, no visitors
They never come
Cards and gifts
They mean nothing to me
I want to feel, touch and hold
I feel pain being alone
They give me joy
Family is what I need
I need you now my hour is not far
Alone, yes alone

Make the Shoe Fit Like A Glove

Having a perfect fit is one component

Saving time is another

Shopping for kids in the shoe department !a headache!

So here is my secret to these three statements. GROWING UP IN JAMAICA BEAUTIFUL SUNSHINE, However my Mother had the painful task of shopping for shoes. This was done on the same day as shopping for groceries, buying produce in the market, shopping for cloth to make dresses. This was multi tasking, my Mother did this without such vocabulary term we have now derived.

This was my Mother traveling on public transportation to the market each Friday. Imagine that, I forgot about making stops to pay bills while walking. However I will share our secret, my Mom shopped for myself and two older siblings. Our job was to secure a book leaf from our writing book and trace our feet. Tell me how simply is that, we then describe our shoes of choice to our Mom. Here is a true story, one time my Mom brought  home a very ugly pair of shoes I cried so hard I thought I looked as ugly as the shoe. I will explain and demonstrate.

(1) Lay flat a 8 1/2 ' x 11' printer paper

(2) Use a sharp pencil

(3)Start tracing from the outside

Make Saturday a fun day, no more shoe shopping, this paper is now kept in your wallet. I keep mine in the car and in my wallet. I have three girls and whenever I see a cute pair of shoe, I am always ready. I hope this will be of great help to others.

Here I have prepared brussel sprouts  with onions, carrots served with a sprinkle of prepared white rice. The brussel sprouts are separated by leafs, onions and carrots are diced, Onions and carrots are sauteed in a skillet using olive oil brussel sprouts are added, and lastly rice is added. To complete this meal you may prepare grill chicken or grill fish. This prepared meal is very lite, because in this skillet you see very little rice, just a cup full.  For others you can have soy sauce this could be meal for vegetarian.  Here I found  everyday food blog using brussel sprouts enjoy.

Review:The Morris Arboretum

On a Sunday in late July of  2011, my family decided to spend the afternoon at the Morris Arboretum.  This was our first time visiting here, this place was so spectacular and breathtaking. The beauty of the acres of manicured grass, flowers, streams, waterfalls, captivated me that I knew I wanted share with you through my eyes.

 Flowers make me curious,  to me its an artist canvas.  When I see things that I know, many families will only see through pictures I am inspired to capture things that are unusual . As I explore this world of lavish tranquility, I am engulfed with the way humans are guided by nature. We spent two hours and more and was unable to cover the whole grounds. If you're a nature lover or hiker, take a summer trip with your family and enjoy!

The Rock

You hold the rock

We throw the rock

You embrace the rock

We dare to find the rock

The rock we dream

And dare to touch

Only to embrace the pillar of hope
