Teach your children that their intuition is part of a unique set of Super Powers that they can learn. Intuition for Kids – Help Them Discover Their Super Powers by Dagny Grant and Beth Donnelly It is important to encourage kids to expand their intuition, to better understand the power of their feelings and thoughts and recognize their own inner guidance. We could set an example of mindfulness for kids (and some adults too). We all have the power to choose our thought focus, which in turn attracts our experience. Kids can be taught that what they focus on expands…whether it is love or fear, sadness or happiness. “Kids are our future” is not just a tag line…it’s A fact. Imagine the next generation having the presence of mind, self-esteem, compassion, kindness & empathy and the understanding of how to be responsible for their actions and reactions. What if they had the tools to make their greatness shine and create the energy of gratitude in our world. What role can we play to assist them in this process? We know that as adults, we take the mission of inspiring and guiding the hearts and minds of these kids very seriously. It is a journey filled with joyful practice, repetition, sharing & learning. For this article, we define intuition to be the inner voice or knowing, sometimes called a “gut feeling.” There are many ways to recognize intuition, whether working with a larger group of children, or an individual child. We may ask them to: 1. Share the Children thoughts & feelings about intuition as part of a discussion. 2. Learn to pay attention to gut feelings. 3. Practice going inward and “listening to intuition” by meditating. Once a child has learned to recognize their innate intuition, it allows them…

Refreshing Sparkling Grapefruit Frosé that is all natural with zero refined sugar, your favorite bottle of rosé and makes the perfect summer cocktail!
Confession: Rosé is basically my staple summer drink.
I mean what’s not to love?! It’s crisp, refreshing and sure looks pretty poured in your glass so of course I had to make this into slushy form! Adult slushies are THE BEST and the addition of grapefruit makes everything that much better. Grapefruit tastes delicious with rosé making this drink the perfect poolside companion this summer!
As most of you know, I recently gave birth to my sweet Emma Rose a few weeks ago so I’m slowly allowing myself to finally enjoy some wine here and there…..you know, after 9 months! So this recipe comes at the perfect time and only tastes that much sweeter!
The great thing about this recipe is you can really use any type of fruit or juice you want! If you’re not a fan of grapefruit, try adding some frozen strawberries to your blender. Peaches would taste amazing too! I promise….you can’t mess this up.
Hope you all enjoy this recipe as much as we did and with the 4th of July coming up this cocktail is definitely a must-have! Please let me know if you enjoy seeing cocktail recipes on the blog. I try to keep my posts as healthy as possible, but everyone loves a good cocktail now and then so if you’d like to see my favorites I’d be happy to share them!
Comment below and tell me YOUR favorite summer cocktail!
Moody’s Investors Service downgraded some debt ratings of troubled maker of luxury SUVs and sports cars Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) because of its continuing troubles in China and worries about the huge amount of capital required to fund electrification.
There is power behind a great smile. Not a lot of entrepreneurs and business professionals are aware of the opportunity to harness this power to sell. A genuine smile gives you sales power and influence. Have you noticed when you watch TV ads and even promotions on YouTube how the actors always have great teeth? That’s because a great smile can draw people in so they’re more likely to listen to the message and act on it.
To make good investments, it helps to discuss your ideas with people whose opinions evolve as new facts come out. This is especially true about Tesla which tends to bring out strong opinions from bulls and bears.
If you have not had one and don’t want to hear about this screening until you absolutely must, I suggest you stop here and click away or fixate on the happy penguins I’ve provided below.
For those still reading, let’s talk earnestly about colonoscopies. They stink. Not because the scope part is bad; you’re knocked out and don’t remember a thing about that part. But the preparation of clearing out your colon for this necessary screening can be brutal.
My preparation time
Now there’s a range of experience, with some reporting it’s not that bad and others describing tearful times on the toilet during which their discomfort on a scale from 1 to 10 would be 12½. My experience fell somewhere around an 8.
I was warned by wonderful friends, but the first few hours after I drank the first bottle of clears-colon-quickly juice, I was fine. A few visits to the restroom, but no big deal. I thought I’d weather this thing like a champ.
And then, it hit. Like a tornado appearing in the horizon, moving at ballistic speed, and ramming into you with all the force of “I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.”
Then comes the second bottle of solution. And I’m using the chemical definition of “solution” here, because if this is the solution-answer to anything, I don’t want to know the question.
Of course, this is all timed the night before in a way to make sure you sleep as little as possible. Maybe so that you’ll be too weak to fight back when you get to the surgical center and remember exactly where that scope is going.
Without going into further detail, let’s just say that one’s dignity is not exactly a high priority during this preparation process.
Two other couples in the waiting room
What does this all have to do with marriage? Well, the morning of the procedure, two other couples were also waiting in the lobby to be called, and both were clearly married—one much older, and another middle-aged like us.
When the elderly man was called, his wife was in the restroom, and he was very concerned about not being able to touch base with her first and leaving behind her purse and belongings. The front desk staff reassured him and took care of the wife’s stuff, and when she emerged, they immediately informed her where her husband had gone.
With the second couple, it was the wife getting the procedure, and as she was filling out paperwork, her husband simply brushed his hand over her head and hair—loving and familiar, a simple reminder he was there.
Sweet, huh?
And it’s my turn…
Once called back, I was given the first bed in a row of intake rooms separated by curtains. From that spot, I could hear the initial questions a nurse asked the people coming through for a procedure. When queried about whether the staff should talk to a spouse about how things were going, every person said yes. Meaning the marrieds had someone there, caring how things went, trusted to support and advocate for the patient.
Then there was the moment when my RN informed me that colon is “aired up” for visibility during the procedure, meaning afterwards…the air needs to come out. As in, they want it to come out. For a Southern gal raised with a certain view of manners, this is a challenge. I replied, “Great, so you call the spouse back into recovery, and then we’re supposed to fart all we can with them there?” The answer is yes.
Yet I know that even after all of that, my husband will find me attractive. Go figure.
Finally, there was the recovery time as I was waking up from general anesthesia. If you haven’t experienced this, it’s a bit like going from tipsy to buzzed to sober. (And now I just realized that I’m also assuming you’ve been intoxicated at some point in your life and let you know I have. I don’t do it anymore, but I was once young and stupid. Anyway, digression over.)
In that tipsy state, your filters are down. I found myself saying stuff with no ability to track the thought fully before it spilled out of my mouth. I mean, much worse than my usual inability. And what did I say? I got mushy and gushed to my husband about how much I love him.
Benefits of marriage that aren’t in the vows
Look, this marriage thing ain’t always easy, including the sex part about which I mostly write. I don’t pretend otherwise. It requires intention and effort to foster the kind of relationship we should have for a lifetime of love. But oh, the benefits!
Someone to drive you to and from your medical procedures
Someone to “have your back” when you’re unconscious and unable to speak for yourself
Someone who cares how you’re doing, including the health of your colon
Someone who loves you in spite having seen up-close-and-personal photographs of your colon
Someone who still thinks you’re sexy, even after you’ve farted while lying on a gurney in a hospital gown
The author of Ecclesiastes knew this too when he wrote:
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. (4:9-12)
What have you learned about the benefits of marriage in the face of health challenges or procedures?
Oh, and if you’ve had a colonoscopy, you already know this, but if you haven’t, it’s in your future. Allow me to provide one important tip: if at all possible, before your colonoscopy prep, purchase a toilet with a bidet. Just trust me on this one.

(TMU) — While vacationing in Bali, a family from Queensland, Australia learned the hard way to never trust a monkey. The family of five was wandering through Monkey Forest in Ubud, Bali, when a monkey joined in on the group selfie and flipped its middle finger at the lens. The laughable event has since gone viral.
According to the Daily Mail, parents Judy and Simon—along with their three kids—spent one of their vacation days exploring Monkey Forest. While strolling through the popular tourist destination, they asked a local guide to take some photos. Only later did they realize a monkey had flipped off the camera while the photos were being taken.

Judy recalled that, as the family looked at the photograph, they all burst out laughing. “We were only in Bali for a week and thought it would be fun to go on a day tour around Bali,” she said.
“As part of the tour, we went to the monkey forest. I thought it would be a fun experience. While we were there, a guide offered to take our photo. But as he did, a monkey suddenly came in front of the camera.”

“The guide had peanuts in his hand and then began feeding him. It was really funny. As I was flicking through the photos afterwards, I noticed that in one of them the monkey was actually giving us the finger.
I showed my husband and we both started laughing. We thought it was hilarious. The monkey definitely had a cheeky persona going on. We had such a great time there and these funny photos made it even better.”

Though the priceless snap was captured in December of 2018, the cheeky photo was only recently shared online.
“I posted the photo to my Facebook and Instagram and all my family and friends thought it was hilarious. The experience was one of the highlights of our trip, and the photo itself is something we can look back on to remember forever.”
Judy said the image was one of the highlights of the entire trip and she hopes to return to Bali with her family soon.
“Bali is such a beautiful place and we can’t wait to go back one day.”
