Mother Stimulates her Brain at 81-Years-Old
Anyone Can Enjoy Arts & Crafts Arts & Crafts are a creative way to unleash your ideas into reality. Both men and women of all ages enjoy them. My 81-year-old mother is big on crafts. She especially enjoys designing wine bottles. Mom uses a variety of materials for her crafts-paint, clay, beads, rhinestones, jute rope, fabrics, buttons, paper, dry leaves-even nutshells! According to Catherine Carey Levisay, a clinical neuropsychologist, “crafting can keep the brain stimulated because it combines the learning and perfecting of new skills with those that are already mastered.”

Learning about the Country Life of Relatives Taught Me How Rich and Blessed They Are
Visiting Our “Poor” Relatives I remember as a child when we used to go with our parents to visit our relatives way up in the mountains. We lived in Puerto Rico and our relatives lived in Las Piedras about 2000 feet above sea level. They were a family of seven children and the parents-nine all living under the same roof. Their living quarters comprised three open-plan shacks. The first one was the living room. It had a 13" black-and-white TV on a small side table and a ripped-up couch. They divided the second one into two bedrooms. One with four full-size beds and the other with one queen-size bed. The third shack was the dining room and kitchen. Then there was an outhouse. Also, they bathed in the river or gathered water in buckets and brought it to the house to bathe in an outdoor area enclosed with zinc panels.

Life Choices That Can Affect the Rest of Our Lives
My Story I’d like to share a story that has changed my life for the better. It involves my forever 20- year-old angel in heaven. I thought today would be a great opportunity to share since tomorrow January 8th is his birthday and also marks the anniversary of when I decided to take control of my life. It is one of those heartbreaking stories with a happy ending. The reason I want to share is to encourage others going through a similar situation, that there is hope at the end of the tunnel. You too can do it.

Is the Shiatsu Back, Shoulder, and Neck Massager Comparable to a Private Massage?
Massages at our Finger Tips I love massages. I mean, who doesn’t? It feels so wonderful and relaxing. Although it can be painful sometimes, to get a deep tissue massage. There are many local massage parlors locally. But, massages can be expensive and not everyone can afford them - especially if you need a massager more than once a month. However, I received the Shiatsu Massager as a Christmas gift from my daughter. What a splendid gift she gave me. Now I can have a massage whenever and wherever I want to. I am loving it!

Too Little Time to Explore the Beautiful Country of Andorra
“A country’s strategy is always based on a fundamental philosophical outlook. Discoveries made during the last hundred years have shown that liberalism is the best system to improve a country’s well-being. This is why Andorras strategy is based on a liberal way of thinking.” ~ Marc Forné Molné

Too Little Time to Explore the Beautiful Country of Andorra
Independent Traveling Independent travel is by far our favorite way to go. We create our itinerary way before we book our flight, vehicle, and hotels. This way, it is easier for us to break down the route into pit stops and give us an idea of what to see and do on our route. We arrived in Paris and drove to Bordeaux the next day. After spending a couple of days in Bordeaux, France visit, we headed on towards Barcelona, Spain. But first, we had to make a pit stop in Andorra, La Vella. It was our first visit to Andorra, and we are so glad we did it even though it was just for a couple of hours.

How and By Who is the Weight Capacity of an Elevator Determined?
Why are Elevators so small in Europe Have you ever wondered who determines how many people fit in an elevator and what do they base it on? Hotel elevators in the U.S. are roomy, but have you seen a hotel elevator in Europe? They are tiny — really tiny, like 4×4. Not only that, but they expect it to hold 8 people! What, so it’s two squares per person? How about the luggage? Is the luggage expected to go up or down by themselves?

Life after the Loss of Our Child
I Need A Magic Wand I am not perfect, and I don’t have it all figured out. Although, I am at a good place in my grieving process. Therefore, when I see someone who I’ve befriended on Facebook or personally and I know they are struggling with the grief of losing their son/daughter, it breaks my heart. I wish I could help them get to that place of peace that I have reached. I would love to help them try to live fully in memory of their child. If only they knew what I’ve learned on how to live life after losing our child. Can I get a magic wand to make that pain go away?

Decisions to be Made Before Our Death
“In times of grief and sorrow I will hold you and rock you and take your grief and make it my own. When you cry I cry and when you hurt I hurt. And together we will try to hold back the floods of tears and despair and make it through the potholed street of life.” ~ Nicholas Sparks ‘The Notebook’

The Spunky 5-Year Old and the Dingy Old Crucifix
I Met A Little Boy Every time I switch out purses, I come across my dingy old crucifix. It’s a silver and gold-colored crucifix with green gemstones and is made of some sort of plastic material. It is missing one gemstone. A spunky 5-year-old little boy with beautiful green eyes gifted the crucifix to me. His name was Timothy.

How a Tragic Death Awakened My Soul to Who I Truly Am
My name is Debbie and I am a Spiritualist and a medium. Yes, I speak to dead people. Ahhh, it feels good to say it. It took me a very long time to come to terms with who I really am. I have always been shy, compliant, and a law-abiding citizen who was always trying to please everyone even if it was at my own expense. I never argued or belittled anyone, nonetheless, anger anyone in any way. It was always me sacrificing myself for someone else’s benefit. I was also a Christian though this phase in life was only to drown the voices in my head, my intuition, and the apparitions. But it all changed on that dreadful night in July.

Bordeaux: A 6-Hour Drive from Paris and What We Experienced
Arriving in Bordeaux Bordeaux is a bustling city in the southwest of France. It is home to many vineyards and chateaus where the worldwide known Bordeaux wines come from. Bordeaux is quite popular among tourists. I was not expecting so many, especially during the slow season in late October. It is a beautiful city with its Gothic and Romanesque styles of architecture, many of which are recognized as UNESCO Heritage Site.
