Web Picture of the week!

Can you believe in all that hot, explosive and violent chaos, life is born? In all its extreme glory and beauty, when a star is born, more than solar light is created.

Web picture of the week!

I love all things space and universe. It is truly one of the last frontiers. It is so vast, there is no way we could ever know all that there is to know about the great mysteries in outer space. The photo above is of Cat's paw Nebula, a very active star nursery in our galaxy. Is that amazing or what! Although extremely massive, hot and violent, it is a beautiful testiment of the beginning of life. This image captures a 50-light-years-wide swath of swirling gas and dust that is home to several tens of thousands of young stars, including brand new blue stars just a few million years old! Awww, how cute is that,(and scary given the extreme condition in which a star is born!) at a few million years old, they are barely youngsters!

"Difficult moments, seek Allah (SWT)

Quiet moments, worship Allah(SWT)

Painful moments, trust Allah (SWT)

Every moment, thank Allah (SWT)

Cherish yesterday, Dream tomorrow. Live today."

Gentle reminder: Peace and Good Relations.



You know the old saying "stick and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me," well, words can hurt. Words can betray. Words can destroy. Words can kill. Especially if these words are not choosing carefully. "Chew your words before spitting them out," I learned this from a story book for kids (of all books :D) It is very true, far too often people speak in the heat of emotion and say things that have the opposite effect than they attended. Today, more than ever, do we need more tolerance, more patience, more wisdom in choice of words, more peace, more calm, more compassion, more mercy and more of the "love thy neighbor" spirit.

Silver lining.....

Copyright © 2009 SN Taylor, All Rights Reserved


Yes, it is true, every dark cloud does have a silver lining! Tuesday was, let's just say, not one of my best days. Transitions have started early for my classroom. I have two new children and boy did it feel like I had twenty! Nothing went right, one child would scream or cry causing a domino effect resulting in the rest of the class breaking down. Nap-time nearly brought me to tears. Not much sleeping happened on that day! Needless to say, by the end of the day, not only were they tired, cranky and hungry, they were so done with each other and the classroom! BUT! those same children today did much better. In fact, I got to see them smile, laugh and play. :) I got to see their sweet personalities. It will probably be a couple of weeks before they are fully comfortable with their new room, teachers and classmates, but I am happy we are on our way!

More Chocolate Therapy!

Chocolate Therapy




If you have had one of those days, where nothing went right. You were constantly misunderstood. You head was in a cloud. You felt over-worked and under-appreciated. Then this is for YOU!
