The child, the parent and the artist

Many children do not get the concept that their home is their primary place of work. They have the opportunity to make it grandiose through their art, their craftiness, the full expression of their boredom.

The three boys in my house complain.

A: Why can't I play on the computer?

M: Baba bobo bibi, Can I have an ice-cream?

I: Why don't you have a TV?

Marle: Outside Boys! A, can you please paint this pallet? M, can you please fill those pots with stones? I, can you please fill those pot with soil and plants?

Here it is, a beautiful flower pots holder.

Many parents forget that their children are a tool to be sharpened. The home is the workshop/stage for transformation. Be the artist, direct them!

Get crafting!

Blacklist

It may be time to create a blacklist of companies to avoid and definitely refuse to work for: - Those which are more than 3 miles than my home - Those which does not allow me to work from home - Those which does not allow me to work fewer hours - Those which pollute with no sorry - Those with negative employee reviews - Those which do not design products that are repairable - Those which do not put the wellbeing of their staff first what else, add to the list

Missminimalist , Thank you

I was hooked to missminimalist blogs in the past four days, reading approximately 16 pages of individuals testimonies on how they started and enjoyed their minimalist journey. It opened my eyes on the endless minimalist lifestyles that any of us can implement.

Beyond just getting rid of things, there is not participating to our current wasteful society, it is recognising that we are all equal regardless of what we own and finally it is embracing freedom. It is why I love it. I encourage you to have a read/rid, I hope it will inspire you: http://www.missminimalist.com/

The fine line between envy and admiration - A little writing game

Envy (noun) = a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else's possessions, qualities, or luck. Admiration (noun) = something regarded as impressive or worthy of respect. It is a human tendency to envy others for what they possibly represent. The more we think of others, insecurity can possibly sit in. Disconnection between them and us become even more tangible as emotions are embellishing the illusions. The mind is the biggest manipulator we have probably ever met. There is nevertheless a fine line between envy and admiration. It is worth contemplating the true nature of your inner arguments. Admiration by William Adolphe Bouguereau Play a game of multiple iterations with me for a second. Pick a pen and paper First Iteration - Start with I am envying this person (name) because - write why you envying this particular person - Ask yourself if you know or saw the whole truth about this person's life - Pause Second iteration - Replace I am envying ...
