Treasure Hunt

I love going to local swap-meets, you can find some true treasures. When I find little nick nacks most people dont really know what it is or what it is used for.

 This past weekend I found this little figure/hand gesture, its about 3 inches tall and made of wood with crystals glued at the base.  Im sure most of you are a wear of the meaning behind this hand gesture. For those who are not, it basically reverts any negative energy sent your way. There are several hand gestures that do the same and are different around the world.

This particular hand gesture is one of my favorites along with the one where you flick your thumb outward on you upper teeth.

I love it, I saw it and thought hooooo, I must have it. Im thinking of taking it to work.

Weekend Get Away

Well, we are getting ready to go on our first camping trip of the year, we are going to Lake Perris. We will be going with my cousin and his family along with other family. We like using these weekend get-aways as a mini-prep course. Time to reconnect with Mother Nature.

I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend.

How do you Fill Up Your Life?

 I found this post on my Facebook, read it and thought you might enjoy it. Great end of the week reminded to spend some quality time with the family and friends. Brought to you by True Activist on Facebook. 




A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “yes”. The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed The professor waited for the laughter to subside… “Now”, said the professor, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things… Your family, your children, your health, your friends, your favorite passions. Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.” “The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your home, your car.” “The sand is everything else… The small stuff.” If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house or fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities, the rest is just sand. One student asked, “What about the beer?” The professor responded, “No matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of beers.”

Take Your Shoes Off

I picked this up a while back and that is to take my shoes off when I come home. I read in a Feng Shui book, not sure witch one, but I read that on a daily bases we go about our day picking up dead/negative energy with our shoes and when we get home we welcome into our home. The cure for that ill is taking your shoes off at the door, its best to keep your shoes in a closet by the door. We dont have one by the door so we keep a shoe rack right next to the door. Doesn't always look all nice but it can happen.

It's Sad

Im sadden a bit, disillusioned.

Its sad that education has such a high price on it.

My deadline to pay for the exam was April 1, a universal joke, I guess.

I was crunching numbers and the reality hit home. I paid my rent or paid my test. With two small children at home there was nothing to think about.
