YOUR HARD WORK WILL BE REWARDED

The path to a dream is paved with sacrifices and lined with determination.

And thought it had many stumbling blocks along the way and may go in more than one direction,

It is travelled by belief and courage and conquered with a williness to face challenges and take chances.

It is a rough road that leads to the height of greatness

There's No Challenge You Can't Face

Challenges makes us stronger
They push us to try harder
They allow us to be brave
they offer us courage
They engender hope in us
And sometimes we go farther
Than we ever dream possible...
just by believing that we can.

There Is No Limit to What You Can Achieve

Deep inside you lies unlimited potential.
There are many ways to tap into your talents,
but first you have to believe in your power to create, to dream, and to take risks.
The possibilities are unlimited
if reach beyond what is comfortable.
Learn to accept change,
for it will help you realize
your inner strength and abilities.
To achieve your full potential,
learn to  love without judgement,
create without inhibitions,
laugh without regrets,
and dream with no limitations.
Create your own destiny,
and success will follow you
and your journey.

Building More Family Interaction with kids

Get to know your kids much better by engaging in conversations with them.

 

According to Stay-at-Home Parents by Suite101 In the life of a busy family, dinnertime is the perfect time to listen to your children, to find out how their day went, and to delve a little deeper into their thoughts, feelings and imaginations.

It may take more than the same yes or no questions every night, but you can learn more about your family with some conversation starters. At the same time, you’ll be giving your children practice at thinking quickly, forming arguments and expressing their thoughts.
Start with a different family member each night. After your kids get the hang of it, don’t be surprised if they’re volunteering to go first.
Let your children come up with questions of their own. Let them ask each other any question they want. Conversation starters based on movies or books that your children have just seen or read will strike a chord. Soon your family will be looking forward to dinnertime as the most entertaining part of their day.

NY becomes 6th US state to legalize gay marriage!!!!!!!!

ALBANY, New York (AP) — After days of contentious negotiations and last-minute reversals by two Republican senators, New York became the sixth and largest state in the U.S. to legalize gay marriage, breathing life into the national gay rights movement that had stalled over a nearly identical bill here two years ago.

HANDLING TIPS

According to the NYC Before buying, using, or discarding potentially harmful products, consider the following.

Before Buying

Look for hazard levels on product labels. Look for signal words — DANGER and POISON indicate high-level hazards, while, WARNING and CAUTION represent lower levels. Pay attention to other messages on the label such as “causes burns on contact,” “vapors harmful,” or “extremely flammable.” These labels are required through the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act for pesticides, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act for cosmetics, and the Federal Hazardous Substances Act for all other hazardous substances. To go beyond the label, search online for Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for the specific product.
Don’t buy more than you need. Think about how much you’ll actually need in order to reduce how much you discard or store. It may be better to purchase smaller containers as needed rather than one large container, to avoid both spillage and excess material to dispose.
Consider environmentally preferable products. Many retailers sell alternative products that are organic or made with safer ingredients. There are even third-party or industry certifications such as Green Seal, EPEAT, and others to help you identify these products.

When Using

Follow product instructions. More is not better — you won’t get twice the results by using twice as much. Use products only as directed and only when necessary.
Never mix products or chemicals. This is especially true for ammonia and bleach, which can cause respiratory problems when combined. Store potentially harmful products out of the reach of children and pets. Use child-proof cabinet locks or containers.
Store potentially harmful products out of the reach of children and pets. Use child-proof cabinet locks or containers.

When Discarding

Double-bag before discarding. For the safety of Sanitation workers, please double-bag harmful products before discarding these products in your regular trash.
Recycle empty containers. Unless marked “DANGER — CORROSIVE,” empty glass or plastic bottles and all metal containers can be recycled through NYC’s recycling program.
