I'm veery excited for these readings. I've been really into Viking stories so I think it would be cool to see more of those and things to do with the Viking Gods and the idea of Valhalla specifically. I'm very excited for the Celtic units because of this but also the European units for telling different versions (the Italian versions) of princess stories. I also find a lot of animal involved stories to be interesting because I mean how could you not? hah! I can't wait to read more about these :)


Here is a picture based off of Norse mythology from their beliefs of Valhalla and what it means to them. I found this interesting because it's meant to be the hall of the Gods for these warriors. The picture is a beautiful way to depict that!

I hope I can take my major and do something big with it someday! When I'm not working or doing school stuff I actually kind of like to golf, cook and workout. I just started golfing so ob

 Week 11  The Giving Trees (Source: Three Trees ) Have you ever wondered how "mother nature" or "mother earth" ever got it's name? Mothers cherish the life that they bring into the world. They nurture it and watch it grow just like all things on earth. Mother nature experiences all aspects of life and death in a repeated cycle. It watches all forms of life grow and flourish.To truly experience it, we must examine these cycles or life and death and how it can be a beautiful thing.  There was once was two brothers who were rather mischievous. Their mother was constantly getting onto them about how often they would play and not help around the house.
