Monday Inspiration - Summer Reading

5/19/2014

Memorial Day is next week and summer is fast approaching. Where is time going?
I'm sure I don't know...

Today I want to offer some suggestions for those looking for books to read this summer. I think I have loved to read pretty much since I learned how to. I tend to prefer fiction to textbooks, but that's okay if you prefer textbooks. There's not a right or a wrong here.

Following are some inspirational books I really enjoyed, and I think you might as well.

Kitchen Table Wisdom - Stories That Heal by Rachel Naomi Remen, MD

My Grandfather's Blessings - Stories of Strength, Refuge, and Belonging by Rachel Naomi Remen, MD

The Heart Mender - A Story of Second Chances by Andy Andrews

Hope for the Flowers by Trina Paulus

That should be enough to get you started. What are some inspirational books you recommend?

Monday Inspiration - Kid Snippets

Happy Monday, everyone! Has your week gotten off to a good start? Do you need a break already?

Sometimes in life it can be easy to get overly focused on our to-do lists. (I know I've experienced that before.) We can get so focused on what needs to be done, we sometimes forget it is still possible to look for enjoyment along the way.

Children can be naturals at enjoying things, imagining things, and finding pleasure in the small things in life. When is the last time you allowed yourself to enjoy the imaginings of a child?

Included below are some short Kid Snippets videos. Children imagined various situations, and adults acted those situations out. Take a moment and enjoy what they came up with. Remember, this is your chance to take a few moments for yourself, and maybe even have a laugh or two.

We’ve probably all heard of The Seven Wonders of the World. There are several lists of them – ancient world, modern world, natural wonders, and a few others. I think we can all agree that regardless of which list you look at, they are known as Seven Wonders of the World for a good reason. After all, there is something wondrous about them, right?

But ask yourself this, would a child identify the things listed on the official lists as the Seven Wonders of the World?

Maybe..., but maybe not…

Watch the brief video below to see what one girl identified as
The Seven Wonders of the World.

Consider for a moment -
have you taken a few seconds to enjoy her Seven Wonders of the World today?

If not, I challenge you to take a few moments and do so now.
