’ve become one of those people, I never understood before I had children. My childless brother sent me a message: “Do you, your toddler and partner want to meet me and my wife at 1.30 pm in the park on Sunday?”

Becoming a mom makes you really think about yours
It wasn't until I became a mother when I really looked at my past and how my parents were with me. Before I had my daughter I don't think that I really thought it. I am a person that doesn't really think about the past once it is over. I like to deal with things and move on, move forward.

Red-Winged Blackbird
As it was setting, the sun had just touched the top of the few corn stalks that were remaining. A little boy and an old man were sitting in two chairs on the back deck. Watching the harvester finish the field, both were lost in their own thoughts. The old man looked at the field one last time and leaned forward.

14 Benefits of Yoga for Children + Teens
What is Kids Yoga? Yoga for Kids and Youth is the same as for adults in that, I believe yoga is a very personal experience - we each connect to it differently and that needs to be honoured. Ask anyone who practices how they came to it. Was it through the physical practice? Meditation? Breathwork? Vedic story and writings? In that same vein, we need to respect where each of us are at and appreciate that children come to yoga for their own reasons too. We also need to respect that we each learn differently, and that children learn primarily through play and their senses - generally visually and kinetic dominant. Children under 7 are in the process of grounding, so physical experiences such as yoga, can greatly support this development. As we grow and develop our own learning styles, we learn more through other ways and can focus more on our own inner experience, relationships to others and discussion.

A Wise Women Once Said Dont Give Up your Destined for Greatness.
A wise women once said to me "You don't give up, because I believe in you and you are destined for greatness." At that time in my life I thought the women was crazier than me. Me, Khlo she called me by nickname. Destined for greatness definitely was not me. At that time I had been so damaged by others and what they said I was that my brain was like guacamole in a bowl , like mush. I was so broken that greatness was so far fetched. This women took me in all that pain of fifteen years or more and loved me for me. I thought in a world of such chaos. How can this be? This culture I was brought into, where family dinners were a must, that church and family always came first and that yes ma'am and no ma'ma were ritual. See my mama was a strong, beautiful, loving African American women and there was no bringing her down. I grew up in good routes. Where love was thrown everywhere, no matter what skin color or culture you were. I grew up in the church it took me a long while to realize who my higher power was and how to tap into him. But I learned. Not to say I didn't make many mistakes, I did, but mama always said that was part of the process. That we should never be scared of failure because that is how we learn. See mama loved me and believed in me because she also said this, every child is one good adult to a success story. Which ment to her that she believed if every child or teen or young adult had a responsible adult to take them under their wing they will be a success story. See mama loved people I on the other hand was more timid and scared of people and living with her she sure helped me come out of my shell. I grew to become less scared and more out spoken. I didn't have a voice but mama sure did. I always respected her and trusted her judgement. After all I was destined for greatness in her eyes. I spent a lot of time watching, learning, observing how she lived her life. The people she helped, loved and how much people loved her in return. The joy and peace she had, that even though times did get tough she never worried. Because her strength came from her higher power. I wanted to be just like her some day she was my idol. She made me who I am today. I am a voice for the voiceless. Did you know mama was an advocate in her state and very well known at that. She was a warrior a fighter for others. A motivator, and Encourager. She always believed in others and that just because you are disabled doesn't mean you can't!

Social Security Widow's Pension Is Not What You May Think
If you are a married woman over age 60 and receiving Social Security retirement or disability benefits there is something you should be aware of. It's important that you be advised that if your husband precedes you in death you might not obtain any of his retirement benefits. At this current time, Social Security pays a one-time lump sum of $255.00 as a burial benefit to a survivor of anyone who dies who has paid into the system. This might be the only money you qualify for if your husband dies. Perhaps you have assumed that you will receive a widow's pension but there are some conditions that apply.
