Word power experiment

I really like this experiment that was done.  I first saw it in 2011 on YouTube by Dr. Emoto.  It was the water crystal experiment and then there was another at that time on rice.  If I recall I think it only used 2 jars of rice; one for positive words and one for negative words.  The jar of rice that received positive words won out.  It did not ferment like the jar with negative words.

Moving ahead I came across this one that uses three jars of rice; positive words, negative words, and a jar that was ignored.  The jar that was ignored turned out to be the most fermented/rotten.  Take a look at it here Word Power Experiment .

With that said, I am once again more convinced that the biblical basis in scripture which says that life and death are in the power of the tongue and we are transformed by the renewing of our minds.

Marriage Journal

How is your marriage doing?  Are you married to someone from another culture and sometimes you feel like your communication is going right over your spouse’s head? Marriage can get dull and needs refreshing. The picture below is a book I have written on communicating more deeper in a crosscultural marriage.  I am in one and these are some suggestions I would like to share with you. Also to stay connected to more marriage stories from my personal life (some funny) etc. can be done by signing up on the mailing list.

Sweet rest part 2

Have you ever been exhausted?  What did you experience from your fatigue?  Was it forgetfulness? Low energy?

Here I am writing about rest again.  I must be missing the mark somewhere because my life is definitely telling me to chill out.  I am looking forward to the vacation and time away from teaching as we embark upon spring break.  Rest is long overdue and very necessary.   I have one project to work on while taking a little R&R and plan to soak up as much fun and be fully present.

That brings me to my next point.  I booked the reservation at the wrong hotel and did not realize it until less than 48 hours before traveling.  I’m a little miffed over it but I made the booking while fatigued late at night and did not check it over until today.  I started to feel disappointment but quickly changed my view on it and appreciate that I can still vacation, spend time with my husband and relax. I will stick with the reservation because at this point it will require many pieces of the vacation to be rescheduled and re-booked which ultimately lead to spending additional money.

Lesson learned.  Slow down.  Read and re-read the details and fine print before booking.  And by all means get some mental and physical rest.
