Kindred Spirits

Kindred spirits… I heard this throughout the speeches that were given for Kristin and Wes. I never really understood what that meant.


All I saw were a couple, who shared the same passions, enjoyed the same activities, expressed the same thoughts and ideas, and definitely were totally in love with each other.


But there was also something else special about them. Something I couldn’t really explain or describe.

So I went online, looked it up, and found this in the Urban Dictionary:

‘Kindred Spirits are two people that make a special connection by sharing a bond that has joined them by the means of an experience that has drawn them together on a higher level of consciousness. This connection can be from the same experience at the same time or two separate experiences similar in nature.’


‘A higher level of consciousness’. At first I didn’t understand. But, because of these two, I do now!

Why I'm In Trouble

Why I’m in trouble:

Because I left my dad in the store and went on my own adventure.

Because I touch everything I see… especially when it’s glass.

Because I broke some toys and they weren’t mine. They were my dad’s.

Because I told my dad that I didn’t do it… and I did.

Because I did all this in one day…

But after all that my dad still says he loves me. hehehe…

Achievement

Last Tuesday, my son Ben achieved his goal of becoming a black belt in Nippon Kenpo. It took him 6 years to do but he did it. To say that I am proud of him is an understatement.

Granted, it wasn’t easy. There were plenty of times that we battled with him to go. There were plenty of times that even we didn’t want to go. But we couldn’t quit and neither could he. We’d tell him, “Quitting is always easy, but you’ll never get anywhere doing that.” We’d also say, “You have to finish what you start.” So eventually he did go, and so did we.

When he first started, we did it so he could learn about commitment and discipline. But he’s learned more than just that. He’s also learned self-confidence, leadership, and has also developed a never-give-up attitude.

All these skills he’s learned so far. And he’s still learning! Wow!!! Did I already say how proud I am of him? 
