A "Real" Woman

I read this on Becky's Facebook Page and I knew I had to share this with the rest of you!

A real woman always keeps her house clean and organized, the laundry basket is always empty.

Lola, Utah

May, Germany

She's always well dressed, hair done.

She never swears, behaves gracefully in all situations and all circumstances. 

Buckeroomama, Hong Kong

Maddy, New Jersey/NYC

She has more than enough patience to take care of her family, always has a smile on her lips, and a kind word for everyone.

Live as if this is All There Is

The Practice

The Dalai Lama shared the following simple practice that will increase loving and compassion in the world. 

Becky, Philadelphia

1. Spend 5 minutes at the beginning of each day remembering we all want the same things (to be happy and be loved) and we are all connected to one another.

Buckeroomama, Hong Kong

2. Spend 5 minutes -- breathing in - cherishing yourself; and, breathing out - cherishing others. If you think about people you have difficulty cherishing, extend your cherishing to them anyway.

3. During the day extend that attitude to everyone you meet. Practice cherishing the simplest person (clerks, attendants, etc., as well as the "important" people in your life; cherish the people you love and the people you dislike).

4. Continue this practice no matter what happens or what anyone does to you.

Lola, Utah


The practice of cherishing can be taken very deep if done wordlessly; allowing yourself to feel the love and appreciation that already exists in your heart.

Happy Tuesday

Time for Tea

I wish we could sit down together
 And have a cup of tea 
But since we can’t 
When you have this one I hope you’ll think of me...
and all the lovely ladies of CG!
