Mediation
Thoughts What is the purpose of mediation? For myself at this point, is to just take time for myself. Quiet time to remain calm and just think. I just let whatever comes into mind, reflect and contemplate. Mediation for others is something else. What is yours?
Unconditional Love
Thoughts Unconditional love. Kids have unconditional love, not matter what the situation, will love you. I was playing with Natalie this morning, and really noticed it. The joy she had of being with me was so obvious. Even when you are mad at them or grouchy, they still love you. They don’t judge you. If [...]
Creativity in our kids.
As much as we love to give toys to our children, they often find other sources of entertainment to occupy their time. Natalie is currently playing with a plastic container of 20 pennies (food), colourful stamp punch outs and a die, mixing it with a crayon and cooking it, and feeding it to me. She [...]
Home School Thoughts
thoughts I watch a video today about “Do schools kill creativity”. I wonder… A lot of what he says is true, I guess if you do not go with the flow, you are a problem child. My boys are in french immersion and they understand French and read and speak it. I as a non-French [...]

Thoughts 1. A little frustrated that lunch was canceled. I had my day planned out and things had change. Many of us don’t like change, me too sometimes, so I had to make a concious effort and say is “correct and continue” and “Go with the Flow”. So I decided, instead of doing my exercise [...]
Be Yourself
Thoughts After going through Kyle’s notes about social networking, I realized how important it is to be yourself. This applies to life in general. For example, meeting someone for the first time. If you are not yourself, the person will like the fake you and then the whole friendship is based on a lie, might [...]
Putting Thing Off Till Tomorrow
Thoughts Didn’t even touch anything on my To do list. Got a little carried away with making the phone calls. Priorities… Schedule. Why did I avoid what needed to be done? Sometimes we have to do thing we don’t like, and end up finding other things to do. Does that benefit us in any way? [...]
Investment Financing
Thoughts How do I find investment properties with the owner wanting to finance it? There are many people out there who have been doing it. With the current financial market, if someone really wants to sell their investment properties, they will be willing to owner finance. It is just a matter of finding them. Must [...]
