Ready for Mother’s Day? Here are Some Amazing Gift Ideas

(Mother’s Day Grand Bouquet from 1800Flowers)

Mother’s Day is fast approaching and almost everyone is thinking about what memorable they could give mom or grandma on this special day. Way back 1914, Anna Jarvis campaigned for the recognition of this special day as a holiday in the United States and since then many nations followed suit -- allocating a special day in May in honor of all mothers.

The question that comes to mind whenever Mother’s Day comes near is what special gift would be great for mom. If asked, mothers would normally answer that they really don’t need anything and would usually advice against their children spending lucrative amounts just to buy her gifts -- even if it’s her special day.

This LENTen Season

May this LENTen Season remind us all that our lives and possessions are just being LENT to us. We are but pilgrims on the road. We brought nothing when we came into this world, and we take nothing when we go. But surely we can leave behind all the LOVE that we have shared, all the HOPE we have given and all the GOODNESS and MIRACLES we have done for others.

A blessed and fruitful LENT to everyone!

THE GREATEST ADVICE

by Rick Warren



Don’t date because you are desperate.
Don’t marry because you are miserable.
Don’t have kids because you think your genes are superior.
Don’t philander because you think you are irresistible.

Persistence

PERSISTENCE
by Les Brown



I believe there are three kinds of people. There are winners, who know what they want and understand their potential and the possibilities. They take life on. Next are losers, who don’t have a clue as to who they are. They allow circumstances to shape their lives and their self-image.

Why Should You Give Valentines Day Flowers?

Valentines Day Flowers from 1800Flowers

For hundreds of years people have been celebrating Valentines Day, giving flowers or candles to each other as a sign of their affection and friendship. There are so many stories flooding the Internet, and probably offline as well, about how Valentines Day came to be and who started all these traditions.

Twilight, Flowers and a Love to Remember

This is a long read, but well worth it......

It's a simple story of how love can be so eternal... about how it can be transcending even beyond death.... I'm sure the all you "Twilight" fans would love to read stuff like this.

Speaking of "Twilight" and the upcoming Valentine's Day festivities, people still are in a mad scramble to get the ultimate Valentine's day gifts - despite the jacked-up prices that most vendors put on their wares. This is exactly what was described in an article from MSNBC. Still, there are reputable vendors out there like 1800Flowers who give transparent and honest pricing schemes for their clientele - Valentine's day or not.

And they even came up with a great flower-gift bundle that 'Twilight" fans would surely love (as you'll find out below).

But first, read the story below about a love that is worth remembering... a love that goes beyond all boundaries.

Mean What You Say... Say It With Flowers

BRATINELLA and ME @ RHTV

A couple of weeks ago, I guested anew in a radio/TV show discussing alternative dispute resolution, human rights, and my urban farm. We had a fun and wacky evening, together with my partner at BRATINELLA and ME as we shared our antics and laughter with the host of the show.

Watching the rescue and relief operations in Haiti can make a person realize that disaster can strike anywhere, anytime and at anyplace. The question is -- are you covered should disaster strike?
