Photo of the Day – Day 157

Just to document bits of my life now. These are the paints I use for
David’s daily ATCs. I am about 20 days behind but I am feeling ok about
it. Let’s see how quickly I can catch up.

Daily David – Day 157

I haven’t worn heels in such a long time so I felt like wearing a skirt
and heels today. I think David enjoyed my shoes even more than I did.

DAILY ATCS – WEEK 22

It’s been a while. I am trying to catch up.

This little plant in my backyard makes me think of the Little Prince.
The little rose… I don’t now why. I just wanted to make sure years
later, when I am no longer living here, I could remember this plant and
the protective wire it has around it.

Daily David – Day 156

My very creative son put the diaper box on his head and made robot
noises while running around the house. These are the moments I don’t
want to miss. I know it’s crazy. But I love this. I really do.
Especially this:

For the last few weeks all the flowers in my neighborhood have been
wilting. So I am so so happy to see them finally blooming again.
Especially the purple ones.

Daily David – Day 155

David watches this TV show called “Word World.” It’s one of his favorite
shows. In this show they create things by spelling out the words for
them. So yesterday as he played with these magnets on the fridge, he
said “Let’s build a word!”

Soon, my little boy, soon.

This is a symbolic one. I put the nail on a dream today. Took the first
step. Let’s see what turns up.

Daily David – Day 154

So for the month of June, I want to try something a bit different. I
want to make sure that each day I write a bit more about these photos
and tell you my thoughts. Let’s see if I can manage to do it.

Little David’s learned to be very resourceful. He is very curious and
interested in discovering everything. Having something out of his reach
isn’t much of an obstacle for him. He’s found a way to “be tall.” He
takes his little chair and stands on top of it and voila! Too clever for
all of us.

Catalyst 12 – How to Change the World

This is for catalyst
twelve at creative therapy. The catalyst is “If you could do
something to make a big impact on the world, what would it be?”

For this week’s catalyst, I wanted to do something different. I feel
very strongly that every one of us can change the world by doing
seemingly small things. We all have the power and the ability to make
this world a better place. So I made a little minibook with my ideas on
how you can change the world:

Here are the sections:
1. Help others: Imagine if everyone spent a few more hours a week
volunteering? We could make such a huge impact on the world. Or maybe
something tiny. Help hold the door for the person coming behind you. Do
a tiny kind gesture, you can never be sure what effect that has on the
rest of the world.
2. Be kind: Be kind and loving to people. Always assume the best of
others. I think if everyone did that, the world would be a different
place.
3. Have a child: Children are our future. They represent the world of
possibilities, they are going to create the tomorrow we live. They will
definitely change the world.
4. School and Family First: I believe that everything starts with family
and education. Those are the two pillars of any human and if you get
those right, your impact on the world will be that much stronger.
5. Change yourself: It all starts with you. Don’t wait for others to
change. Start with the man in the mirror.
I think the world is changed by seemingly tiny things all the time. If
we do any of these five, I think we are moving the world in a more
positive direction.
