DO LIFE !!!


Victor M. Kasatshko’s DoLife was started due to the loss of his Mother to pancreatic cancer & it inspired him to create the LIFE symbol to bring positive awareness to ALL causes and to remind people to Do Life Now. See below what his website says when you go to home page.

.
.

Do Life’s Founder Victor M. Kasatshko shares a bit of his story:

Due to a personal tragedy of losing my Mom to pancreatic cancer I set out to create a symbol for all awareness causes. As a result I designed and trademarked the powerful and hopeful “Life” symbol since the “living of life” should be the real and true meaning of ALL awareness campaigns and causes. The power of the Life™ symbol is that it redirects the attention from a negative (cancer, leukemia, AIDS) to one of hope in reminding us to “DoLife Now!”.

You can make a difference in your child’s future!



I would like to introduce you to "Big Universe".
.

.
.

.
.
.

Growing up, my favorite books were “Where the wild things are” and “Dr Suess Books”.


Books bring a child’s imagination alive. It helps them create who they will become!

I know it brought my imagination to life as a child, and with my parents permission I drew & painted animated characters on my bedroom walls and I loved it.

I did the same for my children when they were young. I let them pick what characters they wanted. It was so fun. Plus my children remember it to this day and they are now 23, 25 & 27. It left a lasting impression on them. How cool is that.

.
.

Some children just don’t want to read. I had a son who was that way, it took a while to figure why he did not want to read his work for school or read period. I finally just asked him after months of why will you not read your books we get you?
His answer was a simple one, “that is not what I want to read”. Wow, how easy was that.


Open communication is a big key to reading too.

So when I took my son to the library again to get books, I let him pick what he was interested in reading, IT WORKED!! He was reading what he found of interest and it helped improve his reading at school as well.

Plus, instead of me always reading to my children, I let them take turns reading to me their books. It was so much fun seeing them grow with knowledge.


This is why I am writing about “Big Universe” & how important it is for children!

.
.
.

Big Universe has so many wonderful Books & Programs for your child to learn from. One of the books to share with your children today to let them know that they can be anything that they want to be! http://www.biguniverse.com/readkidsbooks/read/36/dm

Reading with children from a young age encourages early literacy, this is essential in everyday life, for young and old. The earlier that you start reading with your child the better.

It is vital to read to your child at least 15 minutes a day. As the old saying goes “children learn by example”. So be an example to your child or grandchild. Show them that reading is important and FUN!

Pamela Glasner's Book FINDING EMMAUS - The Lodestarre (Series)

I have read this book & what a wonderful tantilizing road trip it takes you on.

You cannot help but be drawn into the books settings & storyline. It was just release Oct 1, 2009 & has already become a big hit.

Its about how the psychiatric community has confused Empathic personality traits with mental illness with tragic results. Pamela S. K. Glasner’s dark historical fantasy, Finding Emmaus, book one of The Lodestarre series, takes the reader on a harrowing 350-year fictional yet factual journey through the history of treatment for the mentally ill, eventually exposing a multi-billion dollar conspiracy between the US Food and Drug Administration and the pharmaceutical industry.

The story is simultaneously experienced through the lives of two Empaths—one in the 17th century, the other in 21st— otherwise ordinary people who risk everything to save millions of people who’ve been ostracized from society and victimized because they are mistakenly labeled mentally ill.

I couldn't put the book down as I was reading it, it keeps you mesmerized & drawn in.

You Can Find this book here:
