Monday, January 20, 2014. Why Don't We Just LOVE? Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." (Leo Tolstoy). 8220;Haters will hate”, they say. “Love the sinner, hate the sin”, they say. Well, I say, it doesn’t have to be like that. Why can’t we just LOVE, and forget the hate? Why can’t we erase the word “hate” from our vocabulary, our thoughts, and our actions? And treat each other as equals, as God’s children, as human beings? How would they feel? I know people would s...

Are there many parts to it, or is it just a big intangible whole? Is it really this mortal life's pursuit that leads to happiness? Does it lie inside a person or outside? Number 1: Happiness is . Universal. Translation: "How to be Happy? Not too difficult, right? Number 2: Happiness is . well . A Choice. Https:/ www.youtube.com/watch? At the end of it all, when all the...

Yulia's dan...

Sunday, April 28, 2013. On Saturday baby girl turned 9 months old. The last time I posted about her development, she had just turned 6 months old. And now she is only three months away from her first birthday. I simply refuse to believe this. Where did my baby go? Why is the time going so fast? One day I am holding this tiny baby in my arms and the next thing I know, there is this huge chunky little girl nestling in my arms, sprawled over half of my body. Yulia at about the same age, 8-9 months:. Then sh...

The Milestones : July 2013
http://thebrattosway.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 20, 2013. Ok, and finally the last post I was super behind on. "America's Birthday! That's exactly what my 4-year old calls 4th of July. Not "Independence Day", not "4th of July" but "America's Birthday! Yes, with that exclamation on the end). I guess it's because she loves birthdays, and tea parties, and anything else that involves a lot of time with her family and friends. She loves that! And all of the girlies we've grown to love so much this past year! What a fun day it was! Ok, as pro...
