Callum Caught Me With The Spy Cam!!

Grounded.... or not!

My kids know the routine. When they get home from school they need to empty their lunch bags, put the ice pack in the fridge and do their homework. This is just the way it goes. On Monday morning as we were leaving for the school bus, Carter opened his school bag and pulled out the homework he didn't do and asked me to do it quickly for him!! Grade two, and he tried to get me to do his homework. I told him he was grounded (for the first time ever) when he got home. No playing hockey outside, no Wii, no DS, no friends over.... grounded. After he left for school I noticed amidst the chaos he had forgot to pack his shoes and would need them for gym, so of course they needed to be delivered to the school. Yep. He was grounded! As soon as he got home, he got right to work on his homework and then handed me this note.

How adorable is he....

He's so not in trouble in now.

When we connect....

“When we connect to what’s alive in another person, the feeling is mutual. And we both get a lift.”— Oprah Winfrey

“Often we don't listen to who we're meant to be because we're so busy trying to live out someone else's ideas. But other people and their opinions hold no power in defining our destiny.”— Oprah

“Real beauty isn't about symmetry or weight or makeup; it's about looking life right in the face and seeing all its magnificence reflected in your own.”— Valerie Monroe

Makes My Soul Smile

Not everyone gets it when I say there are some people in this world who make my soul smile. It's a feeling I can't create myself but it can be re-experienced when I think of certain people who have made my world a brighter, more positive place. Sometimes it happens when I hear a heroic story, sometimes it's because of someone's actions when they handle certain situations in a good way. I've experienced it when I've spent time with children, old people, my husband and certain friends who have said the right thing at the right time. There is always a connection to my heart and then my soul smiles as a reaction to the warmth thats created. There are many things in this world that will make my heart melt but to make my soul smile is much bigger and doesn't happen as often. It's like going one step further, if that makes sense. It really isn't something that can be explained but when I read this quote I think it's one that describes what I sometimes mean when I say someone "makes my soul smile"....

"For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul." ~Judy Garland
