'Things Aren't Always What They Seem.'

Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night

in the home of a wealthy family.

The family was rude and refused to let the angels

stay in the mansion's guest room.

Instead the angels were given a small space in

the cold basement.

As they made their bed on the hard floor, the

older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it.

When the younger angel asked why, the older angel

replied,

'Things aren't always what they seem.'

The next night the pair came to rest at the house

of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his

wife.

After sharing what little food they had the couple

let the angels sleep in their bed where they could

have a good night's rest.

When the sun came up the next morning the angels

found the farmer and his wife in tears.

Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole

income, lay dead in the field.

The younger angel was infuriated and asked the

older angel how could you have let this happen?

The first man had everything, yet you helped him,

she accused.

The second family had little but was willing to

share everything, and you let the cow die.

'Things aren't always what they seem,' the older

angel replied.

'When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I

noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the

wall.

Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and

unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the

wall so he wouldn't find it.'

'Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed,

the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him

the cow instead.

Things aren't always what they seem.'

Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things

don't turn out the way they should. If you have

faith, you just need to trust that every outcome

is always to your advantage. You just might not

know it until some time later...

We know times are tough and we just wanted to let you know that we appreciate all of you for continuing to do business with us when money is in such short supply during these trying times.

Gifts for the Environmentally Conscious
to Help a Cause

If your recipient has a personal cause that they fiercely care about, consider donating money to the cause in their name. This is one way to show that you care about what they think is important. Since everyone likes to get something, even though the environmental friendly gift is perfect, consider including a small jar of organic jam or other tangible product with your note of the donation. It gives your recipient something to open.

One Last Thought:

When you wrap the present, use eco-friendly paper. You will find that most online and retail stores carry recycled wrapping paper. It is a nice touch to an already thoughtful gift.

Our Winner Of The Month......

Homework Hassles

When your little one has a hard time doing their homework...discuss with them how much homework they have for the night and reward them with some playtime and a healthy snack. Playtime should be something they love to do and should not be longer than 15-20 minutes per subject, and you will find that they concentrate better on the homework longer and longer as the days go by. This works especially well with children that have ADD and ADHD, but others will benefit from it as well. It saves arguments and keeps peace in the family at homework time.

Christmas is just around the corner and we have SNOWBUDDIES & SNOWBERRY CUTIES!

Educational Gifts for Toddlers

Educational gifts for toddlers are more than just teaching tools. Today they are colorful, bright and a lot of fun for the little ones just discovering the world. These are the years many of the skill levels develop, and by getting baby learning gifts for your child, you can maximize that development. Today there are so many new toys on the market aimed at filling that curiosity so typical of those first few years of life.

During these formative years, it is as important to feed the mind as it is the body, so a toy that teaches is at the top the list for toddler gifts. The gifts do not have to teach reading, arithmetic or school subjects. Some educational gifts teach other skills necessary for further mental and physical development. Your toddler develops his brain overtime.

Just like circuitry, each new development depends on the previous. The toys reinforce those brain circuits and form basic pathways for more advanced learning. Hand-eye coordination, reasoning skills and other skills are all initiated from these early experiences.

Herbs/Seasonings
----------------------------------------------

Every week or so I put a bunch of cilantro, 1 large onion and green pepper, 6 cloves garlic, 1/4 cup virgin olive oil and same of water in the blender until creamy. I store in refrigerator and add to soups, ground beef, beans, stews, etc. It saves time and adds lots of flavor..

LifeSavers

A third grade teacher was giving a lesson on different flavors. She gave each child LifeSavers candy one at a time..

The children began to identify the flavors by their color:

Red......................Cherry
Yellow.................Lemon
Green....................Lime
Orange ...............Orange

Finally the teacher gave them all HONEY lifesavers.

None of the children could identify the taste.

The teacher said, 'I will give you all a clue. It's what your mother may sometimes call your father.'

One little girl looked up in horror, spit her lifesaver out and yelled,

'Oh my God! They're ass-holes!

The teacher had to leave the room!

Online Lupus Social Support Group

Dear Lupus Supporter,

I am writing in regards to a new lupus resource that is available: http://lupus.physiciansforpatients.com. Physicians for Patients has established this online version of a social support group for those living with lupus, their families, and their supporters. The forum is physician moderated and allows the users to interact with each other; as well as, with our physician specialist (at no cost).

The physician moderator is Dr. Joe Shanahan. He is a graduate of Brown University -completing his specialty training in rheumatology at Duke University School of Medicine, where he still remains as faculty. Dr. Shanahan is present on the forum to help answer questions and encourage discussion.

So far, the feedback has been amazing, but we are looking for more input --I would appreciate your support in this regard. Please take a look and let me know what your thoughts are:

http://lupus.physiciansforpatients.com

I look forward to hearing from you!

Walk for Lupus Now

As the nation’s premier walking event for lupus, the Lupus Foundation of America’s Walk for Lupus Now™ promotes physical activity and healthy living in a family-friendly setting. This year, thousands of walkers will participate in more than 30 chapter events across the country. They will be walking to raise funds to save lives from lupus, an autoimmune disease which affects more than 1.5 million Americans.

Many Walk for Lupus Now participants have lupus, or are family, friends or caregivers to someone who has lupus. People often walk "in honor" of a friend or family member who has lupus or "in memory" of someone who lost his/her battle with lupus. They are joined by thousands of caring people who walk as individuals or as part of a team to raise funds to bring an end to this life-diminishing and life-threatening disease.

Funds raised from Walk for Lupus Now Walks will support lupus research, education programs, and patient and family support services. You will be helping people with lupus in your community who need your help.

Get your friends and family to walk and raise funds for Walk for Lupus Now in your city. Together, we can find a cure. To find a Walk for Lupus Now Walk, contact your local chapter of the Lupus Foundation of America.

Locations for Walk for Lupus Now 2008 are listed alphabetically by state.

Tidbits From Bejaye's Things

From The Staff...

Thank You for giving us the opportunity to serve you. No order is too small or too large.

Shop From Your Seat Not On Your Feet. We Bring The Store To Your Door!

We have new items this month in every department. Get your favorite cup of tea and start browsing. You'll Be amazed at some of the items that we carry.

Crafty Home Office Projects Anyone Can Do In A Day

-----------------------------------------

Use these ideas to make your home office warm and inviting!
By Whitney Acke

Do you have the problem many women have? You want to be crafty, but you are terrified of doing craft projects on your own?

Well, you certainly don't need a man to help you with these terrific projects that anyone can do in a day or less!

Desk Accessories

If you want to decorate your home desk in an interesting and chic way, think about creating your own desk accessories. Visit your local home and garden store and purchase three medium sized clay pots, paint in your preferred color, and a coordinating spool of wide ribbon.

Paint the clay pots, identically. When they are dry, wrap the ribbon around the top of the pot. If the pot has a hangover at the top, slip the ribbon directly below it. If you want a "girly" style, you can tie a bow in the front or to the side of the pot. If you want a "sophisticated" style, simple cut the ribbon and attach it flat to the pot with craft glue.

Place the pots on your desk for pens, pencils, staplers, or any other office supplies you've collected!

Adorable Message Boards

Instead of a boring white board in your home office, why not create a unique alternative? Find a large wooden serving tray to utilize for this project. Visit your local home improvement store to purchase a small can of "chalkboard paint".

Paint the entire bottom of the wooden serving tray with the chalkboard paint and allow it to dry. Hang it in a handy location on the wall, and enjoy your unique message board!

Ribbon Memo Hangers

Does your desk constantly get cluttered with Post-Its and message notes? If it does, you need a new plan. And since you are coming up with a new plan, why not make it one that is also quite trendy?

Gather a spool of wide ribbon, clothes-pins, and several coordinating push pins. Cut the ribbon to span across an adequate section of the wall area, nearest to your desk. Using the push pins, attach the ribbon flat against the wall, leaving a bit of slack between each push pin. Then, using the clothes-pins, clip your messages onto the ribbon.

Not only will you have a handy way to keep up with messages, but the ribbon will also look decorative in your home office!

Tip Of The Month

Save Electricity with your Dryer

When drying clothes in your dryer, place a large, dry bath towel in with the clothing, and you can save drying time and electricity.

                 GIFT GIVING ETIQUETTE
----------------------------------------------------------

         Dinner or Party Invitation?

When someone invites you over for a "get together", bring a small gift to show your appreciation for the invitation. This could include a bottle of wine, a candle, or flowers. While a gift in this situation isn't generally thought of as "necessary", bringing one to your host or hostess is considered proper etiquette, not to mention polite.
