"The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough."

- Quote by Rabindranath Tagore

I discovered these words while enjoying the book 

"One Hundred Butterflies" by Harold Feinstein. 

The photographer and Hachette Book Group collaborated on a text 

filled with large striking images of colorful butterflies 

and decorated a few pages with quotes by notable individuals. 

Mr. Tagore's words reminded me of Jesus 

telling us in the Holy Bible verses Matthew 6:25 -34 "Do Not Worry." 

I so appreciate that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has absolutely 

EVERYTHING under his control. 

Each moment we exist is in his more-than-capable hands. 

God knows already the works that he has prepared in advance for each of us to do! 

Our lives will transpire exactly as they should: 

in our Lord's perfect will and in his incredibly perfect timing.

May joy, love and peace overflow in the majority of your journey's moments!

Happy August! <>< Laura

Children Learn What They Live - A Poem

This wonderful poem hung on our home wall since I was a child: 

Children Learn What They Live 

by Dorothy Law Nolte, Ph.D.

It makes a lot of sense. :) 

We all affect each other on this Earth. 

I pray that adults will impact children in positive ways 

so that they in turn will teach and empower the generation that follows them 

and that this educational process will continue into the future.

p.s. Several versions of the poem have appeared over the years. 

I have provided the links above for your review.

Wishing you much peace and joy this day!

So You Want To Be A Mermaid? Why Not?!

My young family members love to swim and sure enough they have learned about mermaids in children's story books. When I saw these marvelous store displays in Occoquan, VA years ago (designed by Steven Lippert of Any Ideas) I could not help but snap a few photos to share. The mannequins were life size and I did a double take wondering if they were live models :). 

In response my family told me about Fin Fun Mermaid, a company that sells mermaid tails.

I was able to see the girls wearing and swimming with their recently purchased 

mermaid monofins at the beach as well as in their pool this year. 

Very exciting indeed!

p.s. Walt Disney World, some state parks and even aquariums hire ladies to dress as mermaids and perform in costume. Always fun for the little ones to see.

Happy Summer!

Fill Your Gas Tank with the Good Stuff!

Not only is it important to fill your mind with positive thoughts and 

your body with healthy nutritious items, 

the same practice should be followed when caring for your automobile! 

Be sure to pump gasoline in your car that is considered Top Tier which helps reduce the build up of impurities left by gasoline while it is in the engine. 

The benefits of using Top Tier gasoline include reducing engine damage and increasing automobile performance.

Many retailers in the US and abroad sell it. In fact, you might already be using it. :) 

Some retailers on the Top Tier Gas List are:  BP, Exxon, Mobil and Shell.

Happy Traveling! (*Beep ~ Beep!*) <>< Laura

Aloha - What A Wonderful World!

So many wonderful voices have been heard on song recordings of "What A Wonderful World."

I really like the renditions by Louis Armstrong and "Iz" a.k.a. Israel Kamakawiwo'ole who has a Hawaiian ukulele version (medley with "Somewhere Over the Rainbow).

Below is a video of Iz performing live of a different tune. I chose to share it here on my blog because it shows Iz telling the audience about Jesus, Our Lord and Savior, at the 1:55 mark on the You Tube video.

Have a blessed day! Love, Laura
