10 Life Lessons Learned From A 3 Year Old
Personal

Over the course of our lives we pick up lessons along the way. By the time we are at the end of the road, if we are lucky enough we have collected many lessons. If you have ever been around a toddler you might know that for someone so tiny they have a big bucket of life lessons.

1. Sharing is caring

Share thoughts and ideas, hugs and kisses, and your time and love.

2. Persistence pays off

We all learn in life that if you work hard enough you'll end up getting what you want. Apparently, begging and screaming can also achieve that goal for you.

3. Nourishment and being well rested are key factors in living a functional life

Hanger is real and add it with being sleepy and the devil would become undefeated

4. It's good to dance even when people are watching

As we grow up we tend to start caring more and more what people think but life is truly magical when we can let our hair down and show off our newest ballerina twirls in the middle of the busy city for all to see.

5. Mostly everything can be healed with a hug

...and sometimes a lollipop

6. Sometimes time outs are needed

We all get in to moods and and do things we don't mean to and sometimes we just need to accept that and self punish

7. It's OK to color outside the lines

In fact it's encouraged

8. Crying in front of people is alright

If you feel it, show it

8. Boys have cooties

This is one to remember

9. You're imagination can get you far

Dream big and who knows where you can get

10. When life brings rain, put on your boots and jump in the puddles

Bad days are always around the corner, they're inevitable but it's important to make the most of it.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
