New Year

Today, I talked to the children about time.  I read a great book called A Second is A Hiccup.  I told the class how special it was that we got to be together on the LAST day of December, and on the LAST day of the YEAR!  We made noisemakers out of small paper plates and popcorn kernels for Art.  (The children colored the plates with markers.)  We also practiced counting backwards, then shouting "HAPPY NEW YEAR"!  It was a fun day.  The children seemed to sort of understand that calendars relate to time as well as clocks, watches, the sun, the moon, and even hourglasses. Time is pretty amazing.  Time flies when you are having fun! Have fun tonight.  Be safe and be well.  Happy New Year to you and yours!

Daily Meditation by Anne Wilson Schaef

excerpts from December 29 in  Meditations for Women Who Do Too Much

Our lives are not set in stone.  Lives, like flowers, continue to unfold.  We have options and we have choices all along the way.  

LIFE IS in the living.  The process of life keeps happening.

Art as of Late

I didn't think I had anything to post, but then I looked on my digital camera and realized I was mistaken.  Here are a few things I've made lately, or in the recent past.

Another GREAT Tilly and the Wall video

Zumba Fitness

Uh-oh! I've become obsessed with a new fitness program. I love Turbo Jam; Yoga Booty Ballet is good at times. I like belly dancing, and I like Kundalini Yoga with Ana and Bret.  I've been wanting Shaun T's Hip Hop Abs from beachbody.com for some time, but I think I found a new favorite to go right up there with Chalene's Turbo Jam!  It is called Zumba Fitness.  You can see the infomercial on youtube .  Who likes to workout, right?  I don't until I do it, then I feel GREAT!

Anyway, just thought I'd share my new obsession!

The Art of Children

I love the art that children make.  I am so blessed to be surrounded by the creativity of children so often in my life.  It is inspiring to me.
