August 12, 2009 : My first time flying

Jarring stiff body

flung from Heaven.

Hard to breathe as my space

and heart meet somewhere in the middle.

Unconsciously holding myself together.

Put the pieces back in place,

we're flying apart.

A+ Practices Random Acts Of Kindness

I am a firm believer of not bragging or even talking about the random acts of kindness I've done for other people, but for the purpose of this entry I want to share some simple ideas anyone can do to pay it forward. After searching online for ways to practice random acts of kindness, I've seen some common ideas. Since there are so many sites with repeated ideas, I've done my best to be creative and think of my own. If you are looking to make someones' day a little better, or show a stranger some love here are:

Porcelain Dolls Need Rest Too .

Sweet
Pallor
Porcelain
doll,

The true quality of life has been escaping from your delicate body for years. Your youth so far behind you seems like old pictures kept in the photo album; but, I can still see it in you, grandma. And although I've only known you nineteen years, the youth in your smile reminds me you were my age too. You ran in the grass and played with dolls, perhaps made of porcelain. Delicate and fragile like you are now, did you ever see yourself in them? I see myself in you - though I'm not born from your fruits, I am just as much a part of you, as the rest of them.
For nineteen years I've seen you change into someone who has goods days and bad days. Days of vanilla ice cream and nail polish, and harder times when you forget who I am or where we are. I'm still watching you change now, in between hospitals and rehab centers. Now the good days seem to be if you wake up, and the worse days are like today. It's a terrible day to rest my Porcelain because the clouds have taken over the sky, and it's raining. Perhaps you should wait until the snow is gone and sun warms our cheeks again. Maybe you should hold on for another Christmas or best yet- another birthday. It's selfish to think we can keep you here for ourselves though, and I would never put that pressure on you to choose. I guess a child would rather keep a broken doll than to have no doll at all. But as special as you are Grandma, you deserve some real peace. You deserve to not have to be afraid and confused anymore. Every doll deserves some rest. And while your resting for the rest of our lives, we can remember the person who changed my mother's life, and helped make her become the person she is today. We can remember the best times we've ever had together. Kristen and I can never forget the countless number of Christmas pajamas you gave us on Christmas Eve "Just for Luck." I promise to remember every shade of nail polish I ever let you choose, and our afternoons of painting your nails and playing cards. What do you think you'll miss the most? Or maybe a better question is "What are you already missing?" When you close your eyes for the last time Grandma I hope you think about the best memories you have. I hope they are filled with Dad and Aunt Jeanie and Uncle Allen. I hope holidays float by, and celebrations do too. But secretly, and most importantly, I hope you think of me somewhere in there. When it's your turn to take your final breaths Grandma, don't fight. We all want you to stay, but it's better for you to go. Every doll deserves some rest, and every angel deserves to go home to heaven.

Christmas By Sterotypes

Don't we all have friends that mold perfectly into a stereotype? Your best friend Jamie, for example, is more than a self-proclaimed hippie who drives a hybrid and donates to PETA. She's also a strict organaholic.. eating, sleeping, and breathing only natural materials. You may be wondering what gift you can possibly find for someone who keeps weekly charts of her carbon footprint, right? Luckily, shopping for any stereotype can be as easy as reading this blog. Follow along Couch Potatoes :]









2009 has seen some great lifestyle & fashion trends, including Hippie Chic and the GO-GREEN epidemic. For the girl you have no clue to get for, all you have to do is head to the mall. Not only are there tons of Hippie fashions (headbands, boots, baby doll shirts & peace-sign EVERYTHING) there are also Eco-friendly finds as well. Sephora offers an Organic make-up collection made of natural beauty products anyone could appreciate. Stores like Delia's and Wet Seal have numerous graphic Tee's proclaiming Green life styles & peace (both have online websites as well.) Don't hippies like to feel connected to earth? A yoga mat and video is another great idea! Visit Barnes & Noble for organic, green, vegetarian, cookbooks and lifestyle books. Remember, nothing is impossible with a little research.

A_Plus Ways To Earn Money Now

Not everyone is facing the recession the same way, and I'll tell you why! They have come up with clever ways to beat the broke and now, you can too. With November just starting and Christmas around the corner today is the perfect day to start earning extra cash now.

Are you wondering what jobs I have thought of that you have not? Simple, get back to the basics!
Picture yourself before your first job. Some of us were avid lemonade stand and bake sale professionals, and who says it still can't be that easy?

• For The Kid Inside Of You - Ever consider babysitting? Websites like http://www.sittercity.com/ and http://www.care4hire.com/ invite people of all ages to set up a FREE profile to start meeting families in need of an extra hand. Depending on your skills, pay ranges from $8.00 - $20.00 an hour! For people with extra time, nanny positions are also available with varying pay ranges.


• For the Pet Lover - Not only does http://www.sittercity.com/ offer profiles for childcare, they also offer opportunities for pet sitters! Have a few hours open in your schedule that you're looking to fill? Create a profile to offer your services pet sitting, or dog walking according to your schedule.


• For Those Who Love Quiet Time - By now you know SitterCity.com is great for child and pet care, but it's also great for house sitters. What is easier than looking over a couple's house for the evening and walking away with some extra money? Spend time alone catching up on homework, relaxing, or reading a book- regardless, you are leaving with some extra $$


• For The Crafty - Have a skill you are more than proud of? Be it homemade gifts, clothes, vintage accessories, starting a website featuring and selling your craft will help you not only make money, but will also allow you to enjoy your "job."


• For The Manly Man (Or Girl) - It's fall! Get some exercise and money by raking some leaves. Remember the rake in your backyard? Pull out the leaf blower or rake and save the weekends to do some hard work! Depending on the size of the yard you choose the price, time, and amount of yards you do. What's better than creating your own schedule AND price?!


• For The Junk Collector - Can you say ... Amazon/EBay/Craigslist?? Gather your most "valuable" junk belongings and create a profile on various websites. Not only will you be getting rid of some extra clutter, but it's a great wallet pleaser as well.


• For The Bookworm - Got Smarts? Post fliers around town offering subjects that you are comfortable tutoring in. (Sittercity.com also offers a section for tutoring.) Try googling Tutoring Jobs as well.


• For The Writer - Although this may not be a a reoccurring paycheck, if you think you have imagination and writing skills enter some online story contests. Many have first through third place prizes ranging in various cash rewards !


• For The Brave - Ever hear of a Human Guinea pig? For the brave, there are plenty of positions available to be "Tested" on, (but don't fret! They're mostly safe hehe.. ) For the less brave, there are beauty products you get to test and report back to the employer. There is also sperm and egg (21+) donations ... [no explanation needed], and blood platelet donations for some quick cash.


• For The College Student - Get a job on campus! (Starbucks much?) Working in the library, Campus Resident Advisers, & Tutoring are only a few possibilities. Working at school will save you gas and allow you to stay involved in student activities.


• For The Artist - Are you spending countless hours playing music or teaching your friends the latest songs on your guitar? Similar to tutoring, you can place Ads offering your skill level/schedule to teach people your best instrument. You name the cost and let the business come to you.


• For The Jock - Calling all : Tennis, Golf, Soccer, and Basketball jocks! You can make money teaching private lessons to kids and young adults interested in your sport! You can make fliers, place an Ad on Craigslist and the newspaper, email your friends. After all, the more you get spread the word, the higher your chances of having clients.
