“The best moments in reading are when you come across something – a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things – which you had thought special and particular to you. Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours.”
Alan Bennett

Artist: Marcel Dyf - Claudine Reading (1957)

“People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success.”

You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, making you spill your coffee everywhere.
Why did you spill the coffee?
"Because someone bumped into me!!!"
Wrong answer.
You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup.
Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.
Whatever is inside the cup is what will spill out.
Therefore, when life comes along and shakes you (which WILL happen), whatever is inside you will come out. It's easy to fake it, until you get rattled.
So we have to ask ourselves... “what's in my cup?"
When life gets tough, what spills over?
Joy, gratitude, peace and humility?
Anger, bitterness, victim mentality and quitting tendencies?
Life provides the cup, YOU choose how to fill it.
Today let's work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation, resilience, positivity; and kindness, gentleness and love for others.

Meditation is to be aware of every thought, every feeling, never to say it is right or wrong but just to watch it and move with it. In that watching, you can begin to understand the whole movement of thought and feeling. And out of this awareness comes silence.
[J.D. Krishnamurti]

I love this quote by G.K. Chesterton! It beautifully captures the essence of storytelling and its impact on shaping young minds.

Fairytales, with their enchanting narratives, don't merely entertain children; they instill profound lessons about courage, resilience, and overcoming adversity.

They serve as a beacon of hope, reminding both children and adults alike that no matter how daunting the challenges may seem, they possess the inner strength and courage to overcome them. 💪
