We have so much influence over the next generation! Lots of
times we forget how much influence, as our children or
grandchildren can appear to ignore us, forget us or even
worse–run from us in one way or another. Sometimes, we must
just accept the fact that lots of times positive actions happen
without positive recognition! Therefore, it behooves us as the
‘grownups’ in our personal worlds to keep looking for ways to
help the young ones experience good times, feel nurtured and
loved and to walk away from situations just a little more one
the road to developing as a whole person with a good sense of
self. I can assure you that insistence on creating a meaningful
world for our children does eventually pay off!

I’d like to share with you how Lorna did just that with her
daughter Sabrina. Here is some of what she wrote to me:

‘Yesterday afternoon Sabrina, my six year old daughter,
was helping me make Chinese sesame cookies for our church’s
girls’ club. Sabrina attends weekly club meetings and is always
happy to help me out with the snacks for club. These cookies
needed to be rolled into little balls and then rolled into
sesame seeds. The ‘seeding’ of the cookies was Sabrina’s
job. We were halfway through the dough. She was rolling away.
Suddenly she said to me without looking up, “This is great! I
get to spend quality time with Daddy and now more time with you!”

She was referring to her Sunday evenings alone with her daddy.
Sunday evenings at 5:30 pm, I leave and take my 9 year-old son
to the boys club at church where I also help with snacks. During
the time we are gone, Sabrina and her daddy have a tea party
almost every Sunday evening. They turn the lights off, light the
candles that I have usually in the center of the table, then
boil water, and set the table. There is usually some kind of
‘tea cookie’ (like shortbread) in the pantry. They take
those and then serve each other tea and cookies. Sometimes they
act silly. e.g. Acting very aloof with flowery language or just
simply talking about this and that.

Last Sunday evening I did not have to stay at club until it was
over. I got home just in time for the tea party. Sabrina set me
a spot at the table. She offered me sugar and cookies. We
chatted. She acted a little silly. It was really cute and I was
glad I got to peek in on what she and my husband usually do.
After I had a couple sips, I slipped away to my office to check
email so they could have their usual special time alone.’

Lorna, Sabrina’s mom, is describing such a wonderful activity
that lends itself both to building self-esteem and to beautiful
positive memories in the future. I can picture Sabrina sharing
her tea parties with her daddy years later with her own
children!

Exercise: Play Date with a Child in Your Life

Can you think of something special that you could offer a child
in your life? You don’t have to be a parent or grandparent. You
may know a child down the street, or a cousin or even a friend’s
child. A special outing or treat can go a long way to bringing
delight to a child.

I remember when my aunt Rose arrived at my cousin’s home with a
surprise for me! It was a box in the shape of a treasure chest
and it contained some perfume and soaps all designed for a
little girl. I was thrilled and felt very special. I can still
remember lovingly keeping my treasure chest and eventually
filling it with other treasures after I had used all the soaps,
lotions and bubble bath. Yes, this treasure chest did make me
feel special, very feminine and created a great memory trace.

I know you will have fun with a play date. Keep us posted on
what you do.

A civil union between two people whether religious or otherwise is commonly called a wedding; many changes to the service have occurred in recent years. Whilst the ceremony may occur in a church or other religious place the marriage is not recognized until the legal duties are performed; it is not recognized as complete until the marriage license is signed. The names bridegroom and bride extend around the world; they are then referred to by the title husband and wife, once they are married.

Church Ceremonies

Other wedding traditions vary according to the religion, race, ethnic group and even class the couple may belong too. Performed by a Christian priest or vicar, the Church ceremony continues to be top of the list as a venue. Primarily in the United Kingdom, Ireland, the United States and the British Commonwealth, these ceremonies are known as white weddings.

Multiple Ceremonies

A different type occasion often difficult to arrange is where two couples are married simultaneously; typically, a person with a brother or sister might plan this type of occasion with that sibling.

Destination Wedding Ceremonies

These days it is easy for couples to arrange a wedding in another country and have the guests travel to them with the honeymoon continuing afterwards; destination weddings automatically conjure up exotic countries but it could just as easily be a themed wedding in Las Vegas to qualify for that title.

Activity Weddings

Some couples decide to have their wedding over the course of a weekend and this can ensure the occasion is less stressful for all concerned. Other occasions come under the term of either themed or special activity which usually takes place over a weekend period. This is quite a good idea especially if the bride and groom have similar interests as both they and their guests can stay at the same location.

Weddings Online

Internet weddings seem to be something that has come about recently and a number of people are now using this method to seal their vows; there are even guides for information on how to go about an internet ceremony with information on people that can carry it out for you. Marriages that are broadcast live online are also referred to as online weddings.

City Hall Weddings Elected and appointed officials can carry out a marriage ceremony which is usually called a civil wedding. Although it may sound clinical, civil ceremonies usually make no reference to God. Many civil ceremonies take place in local town or city halls or courthouses in judge’s chambers.

With a little bit of luck, your understanding of weddings and marriage may be a little greater after reading this.

I’ve had a busy couple of weeks. I updated my website, designed one for a client, began work on another site of my own, edited an eBook, launched a chapter of a local Moms group, put together an article syndicate… and came down with the flu.

Once again, I tried to cram too many projects into too little time. I skipped meals, slept poorly and paid the price with three days in bed. At my age, you would think I’d know better.

And I do know better. Back in the bad old days when I was an employee, I was able to pace myself. There were others with whom I could share tasks. There were scheduled lunch breaks. There was that guaranteed weekly paycheck. Sometimes it sounds like heaven on earth.

But in actuality, my old job was a long way from Eden, especially after my daughter was born. I spent my days obsessed with time — mentally calculating the point when the L.A. traffic would make it impossible to get from the office to our daycare provider before closing. And all the while, what I really longed to do was be at home and watch my little girl grow.

The idea of working at home was very appealing, if only for the stress relief.

Two years later, I have a growing home business — but surprise! I’m still playing Beat the Clock - only now running against Megan’s preschool schedule… and I’m just as stressed now as I was then.

“How can that be?” asks my incredulous husband.

For one thing, it’s a different kind of stress.

Experts list money problems and uncertainty among the things that cause anxiety in people, and if you really need to net x-amount of dollars from your home business, you can expect to experience both. Losing the comfort of that weekly paycheck is a major reason more people don’t choose to be entrepreneurs, and I can assure you they have a point. I begin each month by staring at my revenue spreadsheet, wondering if this will be the one when nothing comes in. Then, when I’ve made some entries and it starts looking sort of good, I worry that the pace won’t keep up — or that the next month will be a dud.

However, as nerve-wracking as that can be, if you feel trapped in a situation you hate (as I was in my former job), feelings of helplessness can set in… and that’s not only stressful, but can plummet you into depression.

The anxiety I experience over money woes is more than offset by how empowered I feel because I’m doing something I enjoy. I write, I publish, I design, I network, I learn new things every day… and I get paid for it! (Well, most of the time. And if the money is slow coming in, there are always things I can do to try to drum up a little bit more.)

The fact that the success or failure of my home business rests entirely on my shoulders adds to my stress-level. But at the same time, it’s exhilarating — and is what drives me and other home-based entrepreneurs to take on too many projects.

My three days in bed were actually a delight. I didn’t even turn on my computer and did little else but watch old movies on television. It’s a shame it took a little sore throat and fever to force me to slow down — and now that I’m back on the job, I’m determined not to let it happen again!

Here are some tips to help you (and me!) get off the frustrating cycle of work-binge and rest-purge:

1. Set regular work hours… and stick to them!

2. When work-time is over, turn off the computer. Don’t check email!

3. Get some exercise - it not only helps rid your body of the symptoms of stress, but it clears your head and gives you the energy to work more efficiently.

4. Get out of the house! Take a walk, go to the mall, indulge in a designer latte.

5. Pamper yourself - Get a haircut, a massage, a manicure or buy yourself a little something special. Do this at least once a week and enjoy.

6. Make a playdate with your kids.

7. Make a playdate with your partner. (No, not your work partner! Unless that really appeals to you…)

8. Read a book for FUN… or see a movie. Whatever you like, as long as it does not relate to your business.

9. Catch up with old friends and make some new ones.

10. Consider the time you have and use it wisely. Just say no to extracurricular activities that do nothing to advance your family’s well-being or that of your business.

Will I be following my own advice? Yes - but not all at the same time. Two or three of these a week can make a lot of difference.

Now, if you’ll excuse me — I’m off to Starbucks for that latte.

So you know someone who likes to “veg out” in front of the TV
and you’re looking for a gift for him or her. There are three
ways you could go with your gift idea.

Option 1: Get them something that fits right in with their couch
potato persona.

You’re not trying to change them, you just want to get them
something they will enjoy. Well, there are no shortage of TV and
movie gifts out there. You could choose a gift membership to
Zip.ca (Canada) or Blockbuster Online (US), where they can rent
unlimited DVDs every month for one price. Or get a snazzy
universal remote control. They’ll be in control from the comfort
of their couch - how fitting! They’ll enjoy their TV and movies
more with a home theater system or a liquid crystal TV. Or how
about converting them into a “chair potato” with a robotic
leather massage recliner!

Option 2: Get them physically active.

Your couch potato can still watch TV while they exercise. Our
favorite gift idea in this category is a portable mini cycle
that you can use while still sitting on the couch (or at a desk,
etc.). Best of both worlds! Similar to that (but not quite as
“convenient”) is a stair climber or side stepper. But they have
to actually get off the couch for that.

Option 3: Get them out of the house.

This is, basically, contradictory to all that is dear to your
couch potato. But it could be the best thing for them! Try
getting them golf lessons, cooking classes, a tent and sleeping
bag, or a weekend getaway. They might just like it!

I recently heard a story that has literally changed the way that
I, and my family, think about life. The story is as follows:

There was once a high-powered woman in her 30s who ran her own
company and was massively successful in business. Yet every
single day, at 10am, she visited her elderly mother, who was in
an old peoples’ home. When asked if she could attend meetings at
that time, she would reply, “I’m sorry, I’ve got to visit my
mother”. She sometimes resented the commitment and was
occasionally ridiculed, but nevertheless answered, “No, I’m
sorry, I’ve got to visit my mother.”

One day her mother died. Soon afterwards she was asked if she
could make a meeting at 10am the following day. She started to
reply, “No, I’m sorry, I’ve got to visit my mother”, but of
course quickly realised that this was no longer the case. Sadly,
she realised that for many years she had been saying, “I’ve got
to visit my mother” when what she should have instead been
saying was, “I get to visit my mother”. She would never “get to”
visit her mother again.

So how does the story relate to other situations? I have been
surprised by how many times the story has seemed appropriate
since I heard it, just a few weeks ago. It applies to so many
different aspects of family and working life, from the large to
the mundane. For example, I first told my son the story when he
was complaining about some extra French classes he was having at
weekends (”I can’t believe I’ve got to go to the French tutor”).
I explained that he is lucky to “get to” have the French
classes: lucky that we care enough to notice he needs them, and
lucky that we can afford to pay for them.

I thought of the story last night when my little girl was using
every delaying tactic in the book about going to bed, and just
refused to settle down. I caught myself thinking, “Oh no, I’ve
got to go upstairs, miss the end of the television show I’m
watching, and calm her down and settle her into bed” … but
quickly replaced the thought with something along the lines of
“I’m lucky that I “get to” spend 5 quiet minutes with this
funny, amazing little girl, even if I am tired and could do with
some rest!”

And I thought of the story again just this morning when the
beeper on my tumble dryer annoyed me into emptying my clean
washing! I turned some very negative, lazy thinking around by
reminding myself that I was lucky to have a tumble dryer, the
clothes to put into it, and the family to be washing them for!
It was still a chore but somehow it didn’t seem such a bad one
anymore.

My husband reminds himself of the story when the alarm clock
goes off early in the morning and he struggles out of bed and to
the train. He “gets to” go to work. Many people don’t. And I
think of it when I am sitting, uninspired, in front of my
computer, wishing that I didn’t have admin or website chores to
do for Activity Village. The thought doesn’t last long. I may
have admin and website chores to do, but I also “get to” provide
activities and inspiration to parents, teachers and children
around the world every week. How lucky can I be?

The first week of your baby’s life brings big adjustments for
both of you. You are adjusting to being a mother and caring for
your baby and your baby is adjusting to life outside the womb.
It is a time of great joy — and possibly immense fear! Although
you’ve been preparing for the birth of your baby for months, now
he is here and depending on you for everything which can seem
overwhelming. Don’t expect too much of yourself during these
first days! If anyone offers you help — take it! During your
baby’s first few weeks of life, he will be concentrating on
getting to know you and his surroundings. Your baby needs to be
handled so that life outside the womb seems as little different
as possible to life inside the womb. Your baby’s needs, while
they may seem overwhelming to you, are really simple: food,
warmth and comfort from cuddling. Wrap him snugly and warmly,
hold him closely, handle him slowly, and feed him when he’s
hungry. Your baby will have the routing and sucking reflexes as
well as tongue thrust. These are needed to get nourishment from
the breast or bottle. You can also use this time to bond with
your baby with lots of skin to skin contact. Whether you decide
to breast or bottle feed, feeding in the first few weeks is not
an effortless process. Try to have early feeding sessions in a
quiet setting with as few distractions as possible. Make sure
you are in a comfortable position as it takes new babies a while
to eat and you don’t want to end up stiff and sore. Cuddle and
caress your baby as feeding time is a wonderful opportunity to
show your baby how much he is loved.

If you are breastfeeding, be patient while you and your baby are
getting the hang of it! The benefits of breastfeeding are many
and in order for it to be successful, it is important to start
out right. Keep in mind though it may take several weeks until
you both feel comfortable and get a feeding schedule down.

Most new moms feel and experience:

Exhaustion! Bloody vaginal discharge for the first week or so
Discomfort or pain in the perineal area if you had a vaginal
delivery Incision pain or numbness if you had a cesarean
delivery Abdominal cramping (afterpains) as the uterus contracts
Elation or depression or swings between both Breast discomfort
or engorgement Fears about your adequacy as a mother Profuse
sweating after the first couple of days Although it may be
tempting to try to be a ’supermom’, now is not the time. The
best advice that I received as an new mom was to accept the help
of others, eat regular meals and sleep when the baby sleeps. Now
it’s my turn to pass that advice on to you.

Are you a pensioner applying for a loan? Here are 5 things you should remember.

As a pensioner, applying for loans and finance can be problematic. Some of the best deals in the market may be unavailable to you because you do not meet the ideal criteria that lenders look for. For example, because of your situation you may no longer be able to generate income. To make up for this, you need to make sure that other aspects of your loan application are presented strongly to allow you to obtain the loan most suited to you.

Your age may make you a credit risk

In general, the main thing that lenders consider when reviewing a credit application is risk. Your credit history, income and age may all point to you being a high credit risk and lenders may consequently decline your application. Because of these factors, senior citizens and pensioners may experience greater difficulty in obtaining a loan. However, if you can show that you are able to service your loan for the duration of the term, or even prepay the interest, you still have a good chance of succeeding in your application.

You need to demonstrate loan serviceability in your application

Regardless of your age and employment status, the main thing you need to show is that you can actually pay back the loan you wish to take out. If the lender decides that you will have no difficulty making the scheduled repayments for the term of the loan, you will probably be successful in your application. Any information you can provide regarding your assets and income will obviously be relevant.

Being an existing homeowner may help your situation

Even if you have strong income as a pensioner, a number of factors such as illness or hospitalisation may affect that income and lead to financial difficulty. If you are a homeowner, you may be able to access any funds or equity in your property to secure the loan and convince the lender that you can meet the proposed repayments for the term of the loan.

Non-standard loan facilities may be difficult to obtain

Line of credit mortgages, some long-term fixed-rate mortgages and mortgages that offer payment breaks are all innovations that have appeared in the mortgage market in recent years. Unfortunately, many of these mortgages may be unavailable to pensioners. Lines of credit, for example, which allow the homeowner to take equity out of his or her home, present greater risk to a money lender because of their potential to extend the loan period and create more opportunity for default. Because pensioners may already be considered high risk, it is unlikely that these financial products will be available.

You may be required to apply for loan insurance

Depending on your circumstances, you may wish to obtain loan insurance. This ensures that your loan repayments are met in the event of involuntary unemployment, injury or death. Although the premium may be higher than average due to your status as a pensioner, a lender may nevertheless require you to obtain loan insurance before approving your application.
