Inspired by a fellow blogger Jaye Marie who wrote the following on her post on Relationships : I have always been fascinated by relationships. Any kind of relationship really, for as I grew up, it seemed everyone had one except me. I spent most of my childhood in foster or children’s homes, where most of the other kids were just […]
A few days ago I met a cousin who I really had longed to see. As a child, I loved his family especially his mother, my aunt and his three brothers and I still do. They were so lively and funny the three of them older than me and the little one like the baby brother I would have loved to have had.
Let social media inspire you https://mobile.twitter.com/USATODAY/status/774242852146524160 I was at a parking lot in my home town Herning in Denmark. Time with us was five p.m and I sat in my car just wanting to hear the news. That was when the Western world shook and the terror attacks on the World Trade Center happened. The reporters voice was trembling and my life came on a halt. Personally I went through a very tough time with especially my youngest boy who would turn fifteen in October 2001. He had problems due to having experimenting with cannabis and maybe other things too. I think he never felt at home after we had moved to Denmark six years earlier and he like my other children had been neglected by their father who sometimes showed them attention and at other times treated them cruelly. Years of attrition on my life had also made me fail in many ways especially in not being able to communicate properly with my children in their teens. I felt the heavy burden from the terror attack and that it meant a boundary had been crossed at the same time where I would have to search for my son early and late. The next morning I was awakened at five o’clock by the local police and the kind police officer asked me if I knew that my son was at a room for homeless people in Herning. […]
Twice I have been at the Royal Library in Copenhagen to scan the old catalogs from different Danish pram firms from the last century. It’s been so interesting to see the many firms competing on making the most beautiful models. I am sure that those who did the original ones must have been frustrated many times as their models were […]
I found a beautiful short video with a father singing to his two months old daughter. It is clear to see that they are both deeply involved in their being together. The father comes so near that she can see him clearly and then he sings in such a loving tone the words from his heart. The little girl […]
Lately, I was reminded of Carol’s new-born grandchild and felt that I could share my articles on caring for babies. Carol, with her blog Writeful Mind, is a very social blogger who connects bloggers to the Facebook Café blog and is busy helping people who have suffered from abuse. I have stored up knowledge on this subject for many years, […]
Guest blogger Mike Long on sightseeing with children
Today I was reminded of a task in one of our recurrent online writing courses. Write what you see for twenty minutes when you are visiting a cafe or a similar place. I was waiting for my appointment at my hairdresser. By the way I am so thankful for her skills as she is the second good hairdresser in my […]
What a nice surprise to find a contribution to this spiritual walk. Lisann with the blogging name Redhead Reflections has started a journey taking one verse at a time through the Psalms from the Old Testament. I have read through the Psalms myself for many years and I have gathered much encouragement through these promises. The day after my first-born’s birth […]
Link to original article from B.B.C. on Why Finnish babies sleep in a cardboard box? For 75 years, Finland’s expectant mothers have been given a box by the state. It’s like a starter kit of clothes, sheets and toys that can even be used as a bed. And some say it helped Finland make one of the world’s lowest […]
