As I grew up I watched my Mom light an oil/ghee lamp every morning to start the day with positivity and close the day by lighting a oil/ghee lamp to give thanks for our daily blessings. Starting the day with positive intentions and ending the day with a grateful heart is something I think we all should do. Lighting a lamp brings peace and positivity to our soul . My Mom is my greatest inspiration.. following her ..

Teach kids NOT to forget our roots . Our Culture,Heritage , Tradition is the one which moulds us  . I believe all custom,culture,religion teaches the basic things needed for  a person to be good they are LOVE,KINDNESS and COMPASSION . I feel these are the basics a kid should posses  to become a good human .

Love and Respect each other.. Bring Peace !

Children are the future generation . Lets make the World Beautiful and Peaceful !

Hey Gorgeous people ❤

I would like to share this post to all Moms out there raising kids losing their sleep .This is going to be a very important  lesson a responsible mother should teach her kids.

Have your kids ever wondered why people look different, or talk with an accent, or celebrate different holidays? MyBlogInspires has some tips on teaching your kids about cultural diversity.

We must inspire our children to be curious about the world and to become globally aware. We must teach our children to appreciate, communicate and interact with people across different cultures and in other countries.

By helping your child understand and respect similarities and differences you will also help your child to understand who he is in the context of your race, ethnic group, culture, religion, language and familial history. In so doing, you will provide your child with personally meaningful information and also introduce concepts from anthropology, history, religion, geography, etc.
