Te Quiero Hasta la Luna
Before she ever talked, I would show her things and describe them to her. I would point and tell her that the object waving high on the pole was called a flag and what colors it was, and that there were many types and what they represented.

This is also where I could have done better as a parent. Sometimes I would be so involved in my plans to provide good nutrition for her, to do this and that for her, and would not listen to her when she would try to tell me she was not hungry or didn’t want to do this and that. I [...]

They were not just kind to each other they were also kind to their environment. I feel that having respect for others and your environment is the most important thing in life.
India
India Shane Powers I learned a lot about the vast difference between WORKING in India and TRAVELING for leisure. I was well-warned of the chaos of India and advised to just give in and go with the flow, which I’m good at. Traveling was a breeze. I stayed in seedy little hotels, walked countless miles carrying my DSLR and my [...]
