MK: I like
to take my backpack on my morning walks. Sometimes I put art supplies in
or bubbles. It is so light and easy to carry.
NS: We’re
all still blowing bubbles!
See Ann
Brecunier and Una Jordan at Shamrock Isle in Ballyvaughan County Clare.
Are you
blowing bubbles this summer? Join in on the fun. It is not too late!

Desert Children’s Project is a non profit
organization created to provide activities for children
and adults.

Play is
inspired through application of Self Identity through Ho’oponopono. The staff has been working to create ways to make parenting and teaching
easier. See
Store
for what’s available.
A simple
way to start the day or activity is to wipe down the desks or area with
Blue Solar Water.

Response
from a Reader
who was inspired from the Activity, Thank You Dear City.
I
was inspired by the Thank You London activity while in Philadelphia
this week. I stayed on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway with its
beautiful flags of many nations.
I
took a walk along the parkway and as I passed each flag, said “Thank
you Germany” (or that nations name)
It
was wonderful to thank each nation as I walked along. I ran up the
steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum in gratitude for what each
nation has given.
Thank you Philadelphia and all Nations
Response from a
Reader on Design a
Backpack.
The backpack helps me carry items my inner child has requested to
take along that comfort her. (socks, jacket, bubbles, etc.)
A
Little Bit of Introspection
What are you dwelling on in your mind that may be a distraction?
NS: I
notice that it requires me catching myself dwelling on thoughts that are
not my priority. Today I saw that when I said no, and used the tool,
Dewdrop, I’m not dwelling on those thoughts today a new creative idea
came in. It was great to see how I could correct myself.
