I am ready to carry the torch of the challenge " Wordless Wednesday".

Here is my picture. Please, give it a title.
I count on your great sense of humor and a keen mind, guys!
Thank you for your participation in adv

"Describing your room"

There's a lot of white in my room. It's my favourite colour and I like it here because it makes the room very warm. I've got a white sofa, and white spot lights, a white blind which makes the room  very cosy. I've also got white supports for my books shelves so it takes up the same colour scheme again. 

There's also a cushion  the same white colour again which is my mother's present. I like it very much. This  cushion echoes my rug which I think it's the central think in the room. 

It's so beautif

Ablution is a term referring to washing for the purpose of ritual purification for performing prayers within various religions traditions.

Ablutions of one sort or another are practiced in nearly every religious tradition, ranging from hand-washing before eating in the Jewish tradition to baptism in the Christian tradition, ritual washing before prayers in Islam, and bathing in the Ganges River in Hinduism.

 

A priest engages in the ritual of foot washing,

It felt like an eternity to get back into writing! I have started my third book and this time it is a memoir more than an autobiographical writing...

My first two were published many years ago while I was still living in American and both were not novels! The first was an educational book published by the San Diego Public Schools titled :"Educational Awareness through Field Trips". 

The second was completed as I was packing for my new teaching job in Damascus, Syria and was simply titled: "Bicycle

The girl in straw hat.

Sitting on the beach
near the sea 
under the sun
with grains of sand
and saltiness on the skin
she touches her hat
smiling. Then
with serene thought
she lookes down.
Half-cut hair
black, disordered
and still wet:
it seems the effect of
a gel touch.
She's beautiful!
Simply beautiful!

There are many relation in life so we always communicate with everybody in this society. So what the first thing you notice a new person you meet in your life: their voice, their face and hair, their clothes and something else. In myself, I regularly see their eyes, teeth, facial expression and their clothes.

 Eyes:

There is one sentences “eyes is the window of spirit”. Thus, eyes say about everything in our mind such as happy, sad, eager, honesty, shifty or something like that. And when I meet a

In 1992, a Japanese foreign student was shot to death by a man in the U.S. This tragedy was caused by mistakes. He, who was dressed up for Halloween, visited a man's house to get Halloween treats. But the man mistook him for a robber and said "Freeze". However he got closer to the man while laughing and said  "I have come to Halloween party", because he mistook "Freeze" for "Please" . At that time, he was shot to death by the man. This accident made Japanese people think about the U.S as a gun s

I recently started to realize the difference between both of these terms, and obviously, they both work to either cheer you up or put you down, I would like to highlight the main difference between them, in order to know how they work and how you can avoid falling into the unknown trap of one of them, particularly in our work.

Generally, Inner Peace means or refers to being at peace or getting into a state of calmness, contentment, and satisfaction with yourself, basically, you can achieve that s

What do YOU hear when I say?

Share-6; 9 June 2018; 1:57 pm pst;

* What do YOU hear when I say? *

It is interesting. We all hear such phrases
or derivations on the same. "I hear ya.",
"Ya man, I hear ya.". "Can ya hear me?".
"Ya feel me?", "I heard that!" and the like.
What does that truly mean? It is like listening
to a verbal short hand for connectivity between
souls having meaningful conversations.

HAPPY MIDSUMMER

616f91bd80cbeb2753947d1177d313d0.png?width=300

At this time of the season (end of June) the very ancient pagan cultures used to celebrate the Summer Solstice; also called: Midsummer or Litha. In my country it's called St. John's Day because catholic people basically took all the pagan celebrations and turn them into catholic ones for making everybody to forget their pagan culture and roots.

The summer solstice on June 21st (also celebrated on 22nd or 24th) is the highlight of the year. For the pagan cultures, the Earth shows the fertility giv

A night owl

I’m not good at getting up early.

Even thought I decide to get up early, I always over sleep. So my ideal that I make tea and taste it with delicious bread elegantly in the morning isn’t always realised.

 

On the other hand, at night, I’m so energy,and I can awake even A.M 3:00 or A.M4:00.

 

I want to become a morning person,because I’m often late for school. :-/

 

 Lately, I think that if I use school chime as alarm, I may get up in the morning ...

How to Make Friends in China

No matter where the move is to, one of the hardest parts about making a new place home is finding friends there.

Of course, so will looking in the right places. So, where are the best places to find friends in China? That all depends on you, b

Thank you!

"Hello everyone!"

Does this phrase look useful for you? You can answer to this question in the comments, but I want to say that for me, it does. Well, not exactly this phrase, but it's variations. You can easily start any conversation with it. And for the last 365 days I used this phrase a lot!

I joined this site one year ago (actually one year and one month ago) and since that time I have faced either happy and sad moments. Oh my, there were so many, that I can't even recall all of them.

I know, t
