Giving Tuesday

crinamorpho

GivingTuesday was born and incubated at the 92nd Street Y and its Belfer Center for Innovation & Social Impact in New York City. 

  • Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Luke 6:38

I love generous people, they are my kind of people. Generosity comes from a blessed, happy heart.

For me is more important to give than to receive. Every Christmas Year we give to people in need, their children’s smile remains in my heart all year round.

Donations for poor children- Christmas time 🎅🏽

#morning, Coffee

Cafeaua de dimineață

crinamorpho

Am descoperit gustul, bogăția, și tot ce are de oferit cafeaua în urma cu 7 ani…

Îmi aduc aminte de copilărie și mirosul cafelei de dimineața, cafea pe care o serveau bunicii si Mama. Miros plăcut în fiecare dimineață, dar nu am gustat niciodată.

Prin anii 2007-2008 se servea “cafeaua” la plic sau 3in1. Foarte ieftin, pentru oamenii săraci, fără portofele pline. Acum înțeleg de fapt 3in1 conținea mult zahăr, și cafea nu prea.

Așa cum am menționat mai sus, în urmă cu 7 ani am gustat prima cafea, și așa m-am “îndrăgostit” știți ce se zice, coffee is full of hopes and dreams.

Iubesc să mă trezesc foarte de dimineață și să-mi servesc cafeaua, partea favorită a zilei.

Cum am un soț foarte atent, anul trecut de Crăciun mi-a cumpărat un aparat foarte fain de cafea, best present ever!

blessings, GOD, psalm 30

PSALM 30

crinamorpho

This morning I woke up with a thankful heart. God is blessing us from his abundance daily.

I read Psalm 30, goes with a cup of coffee.

I will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

2 O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

3 O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

4 Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

7 Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

8 I cried to thee, O Lord; and unto the Lord I made supplication.

9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper.

11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

Self-Confidence

crinamorpho

The quality of being certain of your abilities or of having trust in people, plans, or the future.

Without confidence, we can’t do things like committing to something, sticking to our decisions, and taking calculated risks. You can’t work well if you keep second-guessing your actions. (William James) “Father of American psychology”

Being confident in all areas of your life is the key that opens many doors. Unfortunately, not many of us are aces when it comes to confidence, but the most important is to practice it every day. Be confident, smart, humble, open-minded.

Self-confidence in child development

They feel confident and secure, they’re more likely to succeed in school and achieve personal goals. As they get older, they learn to confront problems and resist peer pressure. More important, having a positive self-image helps a child feel happy and capable of maintaining personal relationships. Keep up the good work, parents!

Drumul spre succes

crinamorpho

De multe ori acest drum nu este deloc drept, lin. Drumul spre succes este plin de gropi, urcușuri, eșec, bolovani și așa de prin tufiș mai iese câte un șerpișor.

În 2010 am plecat spre drumul meu, la vârsta de 14 ani, un număr minor și fără buzunare, dar cu vise mărețe și curaj. În timp ce prietenii mei erau la 25km depărtare fiecare cu familia, rutina lor zilnica, viața de seara sau noapte, eu eram într-o cameră cu alți colegi de liceu, o baie comună și cu tema la mate, engleza încă neterminată.

Mi-am atins obiectivele prin muncă și zicala ”never give up” dacă azi o fost greu, mâine va fi mai bine. Educația și munca te scot din sărăcie, îți deschid larg ochii, îți dai seama ce-i viața și ce se întâmplă în jurul tău pe o scală mai largă, nu doar pe câțiva km.

În 2014 am terminat liceul. In 2017 am absolvit facultatea. Acum mi-am atins obiectivele cu care am plecat din comunitatea mea in luna Septembrie, anul 2010.

Succesul a fost educația pe care am primit-o de a lungul anilor, pot să mă angajez cu o diplomă de licență, am cunoștințele necesare și mai mult, știu ce înseamnă să fi o femeie independentă.

Munca, educația, ai ieșit din zona ta de confort rezultă în a avea succesul pe care ți-l dorești mai ales când aparții de o comunitatea dezavantajată.

Sunt multe de scris, multe de povestit, tot ce citiți mai sus sunt doar câteva rânduri dintr-o carte cu zeci de pagini.

#children, english language, phrase, worries

”No worries”

crinamorpho

I hear this phrase at least 100 times a day.

I live in the UK, it’s true. Before coming here, I never heard anyone ending a phone conversation with the phrase ”no worries, mate”. It’s simply annoying to hear so many times a day no worries, no worries and no worries… why British people are so worried all the time?

Excuse my sarcasm!

Accordingly to Wikipedia ”The phrase has influenced a similar phrase used in the Tok Piskin language in Papua New Guinea. Its usage became more common in British English after increased usage in Australian soap operas that aired on television in the United Kingdom. Linguistics experts are uncertain how the phrase became utilized in American English; theories include its use by Steve Irwin on the television program The Crocodile Hunter.

Personally, I do not ”swallow” the word worries, it’s not so positive. It’s funny how people are telling each ”no worries” Like do not worry mate, I got this, let me worry, you sit there on your chair, relax, let me be the ”no worries superhero”.

Once again, excuse my sarcasm! Now let’s go back to work, mate.

No worries!

Hakuna Matata!
