Being Yourself

Way back, when I was still a little horse, I had some mixed emotions about my appearance. I guess we all have them sometime. I wasn’t happy with the way I looked. I wanted to be someone else –someone more special and important than myself. But through the years, I realized I was so wrong to think bad about myself.

I want to encourage you to teach your little ones the importance of good self-esteem. The simple act of being content with yourself. While growing up, we continuously develop ourselves. We choose our likes, dislikes, values, beliefs, etc. A good self-esteem is a crucial part in building a strong and true character.

Baking a Cake

There is nothing so special as to bake a cake with the people close to our hearts. That’s when you truly experience the sweetness of life together. Teaching our children to bake means that we are teaching them to give.

Nobody wants to eat a cake made all by themselves. No, you want to share it with all your friends! Relationships works just the same. Baking brings families and friends together by using a subtle way to say how much you love and care for them.

So bring along the baking goodies and start exploring the magic of baking in real life…

Part of a bigger picture

Once upon a time, all the letters in Letter Land were caught up in a heated discussion. They were trying to decide who should be the leader in the play they would be staging at the Book Fare.

As the plan were, they had to stand next to each other in a row and spell the phrase “POSITIVE WORDS” as an intro to the rest of the play. They had to line up perfectly and stand in a straight line to make the phrase easily readable.

But they could not get themselves to agree on who should be their leader.

Being A Caterpillar Isn’t That Bad

I remember way back then, when I was still a young caterpillar. I always longed to be a butterfly; I wanted to be able to fly, just like all my friends. I couldn’t wait to grow up, I didn’t like being stuck in the body of a caterpillar, eating and sleeping day in and day out.

But as I looked back on my life now, I realize how important it was for me to be a caterpillar. I needed the time to get to know myself, and the world around me. Most importantly, I learnt that I could not control the course of life, and that I should appreciate every moment. Just being alive is already a blessing. Although, it took a while for me to grow and develop. It was a crucial process to undergo. It taught me important lessons of life that would come in handy in the future.

Seeing the beauty in others

It’s so easy to be blinded by the bad things of this world that we often overlook the beauty around us. Especially the beauty of the people we interact with on a day-to-day basis. We all have good and bad traits within us. But you have to choose what you want to see in others, and what side you want to bring forth in them. When we tend to seek the best in others it will inspire them to be better, and vice versa as well.

I’ve summed up a few ways to improve your skills below.

Bullying

Bullying is a known term in our society, it describes the act of forcing someone to do something. We as parents get angry when our little ones return home from school and tell us that they were treated them badly by their peers. But what is the reason for this bullying and how can we influence the life of the bully in a positive way.

I interviewed Bull the bulldog from ”The Rocky Series” and asked him about his past experiences. I gathered some information from the bully’s point of view this time, because I feel we hear from the victims a lot and the actual problem is- the bully.

A Red House Dream

Let’s learn from the man who made his dreams come true. High in the trees and low under the seas, his witnesses stand tall. Let these landmarks encourage us to believe in our own dreams.

The man who inspired the story of The Little Red House is Mikael Genberg – an artist and entrepreneur from Västerås. His life portrays everyone around him how to have faith in their dreams and the dreams of generations to come. It’s the little things that matters most. All he wants is a little red house with white corners to be placed on the moon. He already discussed the idea with Swedish National Space Board and they are fond of it. Now it is only a matter of time before the house will be planted way up in our galaxy.

Believing in Your Dreams

Not so long ago, there was a girl who wanted to do something phenomenal with her life. She wanted to be a star!

But how? she thought.

One day she realized she had an awesome dream – something to live for! And if she could make this dream come true, she would be extraordinary. It was a hard road, but she overcame all the obstacles in her path. She reached the top of that steep mountain with joy. And once there, she looked down on the world with her head held high and a smile on her face…

Let the Dreams Come True

After I read my little niece Rocky’s letter, I was inspired to share my story with you…

Last week, while I was knitting a scarf for Bull, I had an interesting visit. I heard a soft knock at the front door, and when I opened, it was the forest fairy. I invited her inside and poured us some English tea. Then she told me, “The fairy counsel has decided to give you a gift because of all the good deeds you have done for the animal society. The gift is this: you have to choose anything in this whole wide world that you want to give to five other animals of your choice.”

Being Small of Appearance Doesn’t Mean That You’re Weak Inside

By Hedda the Mouse.

You should never let anyone make you doubt yourself, not for a minute!

Let me tell you my story. You already know I am a mouse. I am one of the smallest animals in the animal kingdom. But still I was the one who helped a big moose to believe in himself. I helped that moose to realize that he is one of the biggest animals – a master of the forest – at a time when he did not know it. In fact, he thought he was a little mouse!
