I have never been fond of surprises. Â But, Tom keeps trying to change that...and he just might succeed! Â He entered a contest with BelmopanCityOnline and won a Mather's Day gift for me. Â Here is his winning entry:"Alida has been a great wife of 30 years, mother of two grown sons & now helps people who have been abused or rescued from sex trafficking. She has been giving to others all her life & deserves a month of receiving!"The prize is a month of free housecleaning...I...
Beauty and marketing

Sometimes it is possible to get things just horribly wrong. Â My dear children and husband gave me the luxury of a facial yesterday morning as a mother's day gift. Â 90 minutes of pampering (I can't remember when last I had a facial). Â It was great. Â But then after, the beautician sat me down and did the hard sales talk on me. Â Was I aware that I had wrinkles. Â Well, duh, shock horror, I'm 46, if I didn't there would be something rather un-natural about the matter....
I want to be just like my mom
From Tales of a Texpatriate, 4 days ago, Similar articles
Today is Mother's Day in the US. I won't go into my feelings on why or why not one day a year is even enough to tell someone like a mother thank you, or why in general days like this drive me nuts because it's so manufactured and false, and that I think if you love someone you should show them that love EVERYDAY, and if you want to send them a gift just SEND IT and don't wait for a retail-sanctioned holiday. Ok, well I kind of did go into my feelings on that, whatever, I'll stop. (gets off...

How many times have you heard someone say "this is the worst thing that could ever happen to me"? Â Maybe you have been the one to say it. Â But is it really true' Â I was watching a TV show last night and someone made that comment because they had made a simple mistake. Â No one was going to lose their life. They were just inconvenienced and she claimed it was the worst thing in the world. This past week someone we know found out that they have an invasive carcinoma. Â And...

How to move your stuff in Paris
From The Bold Soul, 3 weeks ago, Similar articles
First, buy some cartons and some tape. Lots and lots of both. Some bubble wrap would be a good thing, too. Lots and lots of it. I am now brilliant at making cartons. Could put it on my resumé. Build the cartons and use the tape. Put your stuff in the cartons (use bubble wrap where necessary). Curse and swear in your native language when the tape gets all tangled up (unless you also had the foresight to buy one of those great packing-box tape dispensers - which this time, we DID because I...

From Delhi Bound, 1 month ago, Similar articles
I have loads of photos from a trip to Old Delhi with my friend Sue. The photos have been sitting in my 'autoimport' folder for over a month now ... because I've been waiting for inspiration and motivation to wrap these photos into an amazing story. I realized over this weekend that these photos ARE the story. They don't need my words ... More coming soon ...

From Blackpurls knitpickings, 1 month ago, Similar articles
This photo was taken last year in Orange Walk. Â We went there for both of us to speak at a Youth Rally put on by CDF. Â On our way home we stopped at this street side stand to pick up some tacos. The name Mercy's Place struck a chord with me. Â I want to be in that place. Â The place of God's mercy. Â His mercy is a precious gift which is not based on what we do or don't do. Â It is completely up to His discretion whom He chooses to grace with His mercy. We are seeing...
