“The Little Things”

A few core, simple yet classy additions to our lives have brightened our day.

Youngling and I laughed so hard as we teased each other and squabbled over who would get which crystaline stone treasures.

We found and purchased a gorgeous Paradise male betta with flowing burnt orange fins and blue opal body that we’ve named Diaphanous.

We had a lovely dinner in our favorite bakery restaurant and vied for sips of the latest hot chocolate with morsels of favorite deserts.

Then, we finished the evening by obtaining a few key needed items that also accent and enrichen our home’s ambiance.

Heart Of Matter

Despite my own needs and desires, I can see people’s vulnerabilities and refuse to be selfish.

This means I naturally build rapport and inherently help to enhance others’ quality of living.

In doing so, I do not transgress across boundaries – even if individuals would do so or let me, willingly.

Instead, in my daily interactions, I deep listen among the multitudes to find traces of the man who can belong with me.

I get fragments of impressions that taunt and elude my arms’ reaching.

He doesn’t seem to be anywhere near me.

When I find a spark between me and another person and extend them my friendship, I automatically discover where they need healing – and find that I can provide a piece of the puzzle that they have been missing and/or seeking.

But, when I try to arrange for my own needs, I end up supporting them more than they can actually help me.

It can feel like a bit of a let down on my own quest for healing to not get much receiving.

But, as a healer, at least I get to do what I am here for.

The Gift Of Language

I have developed a method of teaching English pronunciation fluency well – with laughter, playfulness, and joy of discovering each aspiring learner’s innate talents.

The challenge for me is how to charge for these services outside of the US, for here I still want to make it affordable, which I have determined will be $30 for 1 1/2 sessions.

“Peanuts” to the American Capitalistic standard.

But, to an Egyptian over a year ago, multiply 30×18 = $540 US equivalent for a session. 1 US dollar was then worth 18 egp.

Therefore, I have decided that in international “less affluent” economy to American economy situations, I would like a session I give to provide me equivalent of a meal for my family, but that my fee should not deprive a student’s equivalent of their family’s week worth of meals, for example.

With the new student I taught today, we will see in the next week what that amount looks like from Egyptian to American currency perspective.

I believe that the gift of language should not be prevented by dictates such as money.
