There are good deals.  And there are great deals.

Truth be told, most deals (good AND great), have become so commonplace that they’re almost a dime a dozen.

Everywhere you turn there’s someone offering something awesome at some stupidly low price.... sometimes even for free! (This isn't free, but it's such awesome value it's almost as good as free!)

Written by a former child, who could have been any one of us...

1. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately wanted to paint another one.

2. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you feed a stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals.

The dinner guests sat around the table discussing life.

One man, a CEO, explained the problem with education. He argued:

"What's a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?"

If a child lives with criticism, she learns to condemn.

If a child lives with hostility, she learns to fight.

If a child lives with ridicule, she learns to be shy.

From The Daily Om.

We paint people with a broad brush: some are like us, sharing our opinions and our attitudes, while others are different.

Susan notes: this useful re-centering practice is from Fitting in Is Overrated, a wonderful book by Leonard Felder (a psychologist, counselor, author and occasional contributor to my favourite publication Ode Magazine). I blogged about the book here.

When I imagine I'm a grain of sand, it's a pink one under this stunning blue sky...
