Juliette Gordon Low

Juliette Gordon Low

(1860 - 1927)

Founder of the Girl Scouts of America in 1912.

Before she married to William Low. She was suffered an ear infection that damaged her ear to cause her to lose her hearing in that ear. After the wedding, the rice thrown into Juliette’s good ear. When the rice was removed, her eardrum was punctured that cause her completely deaf in that ear. She became deaf for the rest of her life.

Tea and Girl Scout Cookies, a great combination! Did you know the Founder, Juliette Low, loved tea. So am I. I love tea! I love Girl Scout thin mint cookies. Cookies make me feel good.

So I drink a cup of tea with girl scout cookies to honor her.

Is there any deaf leader around here? If so, please let me know.

Tea Tips

For white tea, heat water until just before boiling and steep thirty seconds to two minutes.

For green tea, heat water until just before boiling and steep one to three minutes.

For oolong tea, heat water until just boiling and steep three to five minutes.

For black tea, heat water until boiling, steep three to five minutes.

For herbal teas, heat water until boiling and steep for five minutes.

Cut your tea caffeine by eighty percent by pouring a small amount of water over the tea, steep for thirty seconds, pour out that first round and refill your cup with water to steep for the full three minutes. Most of the caffeine is released from the tea in those first thirty seconds.

Clutter books

Did you know January is Get Organized Month.  

I love books. I have few resource books how to organize.

reading them inspired me to start organize my clutter area.

I read FB news feeds about Transformation and Organization. Her post inspired me to start organize my clutter area.    

Before i had a stroke. i usually dropped magazines off at the table in my father's office. End up pile high. I realized that there is no more room for one more. I have to learn to stop buy magazines. 

The verse she wrote on her post touched my heart. I immediately pulled out my bible and read.

Transformation and Organization is a good time for me to start clean up the clutter in the cold winter day.

Cinderella

dream is a wish...

A dream is a wish your heart makes

When your fast asleep

In dreams you will lose your heartaches

Whatever you wish for you keep

A base in your dreams and someday

Your rainbow will come smiling through

No matter how your heart is grieving

If you keep on believing

The dream that you wish will come true
