How proud do these girls look!

As you all know, I have been working on the paper crafting cass with the girls for months, well, it finally happened and I am relieved to report that all went fantastically well and the girls had a ball! I forgot to take pictures on the first day, but did remember to take some on Tuesday. The girls are proudly displaying the journals and mini albums they made. It is days like this that makes me remember why I became a teacher in the first place!I also recieved a very special gift while teaching…See More

each of us have our own special abilities and gifts. what an amazing turn of events, that you would be there at precisely that moment and be able to help the young mother out. when she looks at the candle she will be reminded of your gift and it…

Wonderful! Spontaneous giving is so much fun. I see what you mean about her not believing your offer at first ... sadly, people are not used to such nice gestures...but the good side is that this often makes them so appreciative when they do receive…

Brings to mind "and a little child shall lead them". A good reminder that all though we may not have monetary means to give all the time, we have an unlimited supply of love..

9 kisses and 51 hugs

I know I have been MIA lately, but it has been crazy busy.Had to share my 4yo granddaughter's latest gem.Grandfather asked her if she wasn't going to run out of hugs and kisses soon, because she keeps giving so many away. Her answer? "No oupa, I have 9 kisses and 51hugs left (this was at about 19h30 on Friday) and I am getting some more tomorrow!"Nothing to beat the logic of a 4yo. I wonder why adults forget that they get a new supply of hugs and kisses to share every day?See More

Why I'm choosing to give:
I decided to be positive this year in an ever increasing negative world, but it is as if the devil himself is trying to prevent me from being positive. Everything that can go wrong, does and I am refusing to give in to negativity.
What I'd most like to receive:
I am blessed to have everything that I need - not everything I would like, but most definately everything I need, I would like to recieve the peace that giving gives.
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
I read about it on the NICE blog
About me:
I am a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, friend, teacher and crafter. I love living in Africa and would not like to live anywhere else in the world. I love my job and my family, but I have to work very hard at staying positive.

Unplanned gift!

Posted on March 30, 2009 at 9:31am 5 Comments

I went shopping yesterday for craft supplies and overheard another customer asking the shop assistant whether they sell personalised candles. The shop assistant told her that they don't but she would give her the name of somebody that did. When the lady asked how much this person charged, I nearly fell over backwards at the price and I could see that the customer could obviously not afford such a price. She thanked the assistant for the number and left the store. I sent my daughter after her… Continue

Day 22 & 23. How perfect is the timing?

Posted on February 25, 2009 at 9:22am 2 Comments

What happened to me these last two days, makes me think like the old man with the good news, bad news story, I'll just have to wait and see.

After the food poisoning incident, I was booked off work for two days. The dr's note says that I should be fit for work by tomorrow. I was very upset, because mr. Conscience that sits on my shoulder never lets up. You know, if I am not there to teach, the world as we know it might just come to a screeching halt! LOL

Anyway, yesterday I was still… Continue

Had a wonderful weekend! Couldn't post the last two days because my internet was doen! So frustrating.

On Saturdsay I went to an all day IEB Conference, thinking that there would be no time or oppotunity ti give. How wrong we can sometimes be!

I picked up a friend early in the morning to travel with me, because she has had a cornea transplant and can't see well yet.

Teachers are a funny lot! They can get so worked up about nothing. I have always found this quite funny, but on… Continue
