Health & Fitness > Exercise Tips Walking as meditation
1 of 24

Walking is an active form of meditation. We are experiencing all of the sights around us, instead of visualizing in our head the perfect escape, that sunny beach with the waves crashing in, seagulls overhead. We are experiencing the 'perfect' world in a not so 'perfect' world. On a walk we are trying to make the most of the w... More..

Education > Early Childhood Ed The value of playing with dolls for girls and boys
1 of 13

It is socially acceptable for a girl child to play with a doll. It is socially acceptable for a boy child to play with an action figure. Should the paths cross an uproar ensues. And it is absolutely ridiculous considering the limited differences, personality aside, of children.We are all raised certain ways, sometimes by rath... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values How to love your life
3 of 37

To love life is to simply appreciate every silly detail in a special way. You do not have to celebrate in a grandiose way by jumping for joy or bleating your trumpet horns, but small details are under-appreciated and, should you pick life apart into stages, the small details are likely your entire foundation. So realize this ... More..

Dreams and nightmares can have a number of meanings, depending on what you believe in. You can take a more scientific approach, linked with Rapid Eye Movement, and perhaps conclude that dreams and nightmares "clean up" the brain while sorting and shuffling information from one memory node to another.

Entertainment > Movies (Other) What kind of movie goer are you
2 of 20

There is something highly intense about a trip to the movie theater, especially while viewing a movie that really captivates your interests. I am a high fantasy, magical moments, old fashioned disney type. I enjoy light, typically child-oriented screenings, where I am not constantly on edge waiting for the mutilations and hea... More..

My Grandmother knits. My Aunts knit. My mom knits. When I was twelve I began to knit. I've been crafting ever since. I can sit on the sofa, under a blanket my mother made, with my own tools, and make whatever I desire. Whatever I am capable of. Whatever my imagination can create.Knitting presents a teen with:1.)

I hardly travel. I am a homebody. But when I find I am set to head out of town for a week or so I always grow extremely excited and extremely anxious in combination.

Every birthday in my family inspires food. The birthday girl/boy picks out their favorite meals, or their favorite restaurant and we pile into the car for grocery shopping or reservations. It is personally what I look forward to most. Forget the presents or the shopping! Eating only lasts for half an hour, an hour at a stretc... More..

Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Why I play role-playing games
7 of 53

I love to roleplay! I can transform into a scientific Gnome leaving his laboratory to battle foes. I can interact with his best friends and worst enemies. I can set the stage. It sweeps me up until I am giddy with excitement and anticipation. I laugh loudly, I worry slightly, at the scrapes I find my characters in. They alway... More..
