One activity that we will be explaining is known as "Minefield." This is a popular activity used in many types of groups, who desire to strengthen trust and communication skills. It is also a flexible activity that can be adjusted for all age groups and various settings, preferably an open area. The goal for this is to get from point A to point B, but the catch is that there are multiple items, or "mines," scattered around the route, and you are blindfolded. In order to, make it to point B, you have to put trust into your partner, to lead you safely to the finish line. Your partner is not allowed to touch you, they are only allowed to lead you by using verbal instructions. This builds trust since you need to have trust in your partner to

One such tradition is not socializing with neighbors but only talking to her sisters or other family members. Both of my great-grandparents came from a large family and so the Sunday was always considered family day. It was nothing to see a yard off of kids playing or see the men playing a game of horseshoes as the women would set out the dinner. However, it was the winter time that holds the most memories for my mother. It was then that the families would all gather at the family pond and go ice skating and the men would build a big fire and everyone would stand around and drink hot chocolate. One such tradition in the winter time was right after the first snow fall of the season. We would take a big mixing bowl and go out and fill that bowl as full as we could. Then she would go in and make a big bowl of snow ice cream (Food in Every County). One bright sunny day, our family was going to Lake Pomme De Terre for a family picnic. Like Shteyngart, I was all set for some grilled hamburgers or hot dogs or even some fried chicken. However, that was not meant to be. Like Shteyngart, is aw food being set out that was I saw food that was familiar to my great-grandmother’s culture. Instead of grilling hamburgers, she set out chicken and noodles, mashed potatoes, green beans and for dessert a shoofly pie, sugar cookies, and schnitz pie, which is made with dried apples (Food in Every County). My mother laughed when she saw my face because later my

One tradition I have is, on Christmas morning I wake up and drink hot chocolate and watch a Christmas movie to wait for everybody to wake up. Another tradition is while opening gifts we play loud Christmas music and eat cookies, and, my sister I play our 3DS and wait for people to come over. On Christmas weekend I usually leave to go to my grandparent’s house until Christmas morning, and that got me wondering, I wonder what my other grandma would say if I got a BB gun for a present.

In 16th century England, in the midst of King Henry VIII’s separation from the Catholic church, this was a group of Protestants whose goal was to truly purify the Church of England of any Catholic practices. The Puritans believed in predestination. A group of Puritans, called Separatists, chose to leave the Church of England completely and settled in the New England colonies.

One thing about the news today that my Mawmaw has noticed is how it has changed so much since she was young. If there was a shooting or a tragedy, it was a rare occasion. Today, a major crime happens weekly. From the church shooting in Georgia, to the explosion in France, and, just recently, the shooting in Colorado at the abortion clinic all happened within months of each other. She especially recognizes how the devil is attacking young people of today.

WHAT BRINGS ME HERE? Brother I don't know, I am constantly angry, drinking a lot, depressed, it is like the weight of the world is on my shoulders. I snap off in different parts of my life, I shouldn't do that. My past is coming back to me brother and life is not working for me like I pictured when I left ............... When I left prison. I thought the money would be there, I damn sure thought I would make more than I am now. How you expect a Black man to live on minimum wage, it's not adding up. I'm stressed, because I can't pay bills. It's like a gap, I can't close it, I get close but I can't close it. It's steady struggling, I'm juggling bills, constantly trying to keep up and I can't do what I want to do. I got my Black ass out of prison

Travel east, inland from the volcanic Kohala Coast to discover Waimea (also called Kamuela), which is unlike any other place on Hawaii Island. Known as paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) country this historic area full of rolling, green pastures is still home to cattle, cowboys and ranches.

For Stella’s whole life she had been looking through a window of glass. She was forever being judged and hurt by the hearies – the “normal” people. Every time someone mocked her or teased her, the glass surrounding her cracked a little, warping her view of the outside world, just slightly. The hearies have never stopped hurting Stella. Now, all she can see is a mess of cracks, and nothing outside her little glass box is clear any more – the outside world has been distorted so badly that nothing is certain – there are no definite shapes or lines, let alone people that Stella can trust. Of course Stella has a reason to distrust the hearies, anyone who had been through what Stella has would too.

There are those who are blessed with a wonderful body from birth. They are the ones who look like they have been working out for hours but their muscular physique has little to do with what workout plan they have. If that is you, then you have the mesomorph body type. Mesomorphs react to food well, so they might not pay as much attention to their diets as they need to because unlike other body types, they don’t have to worry about putting on or losing weight.

The logistics of the preparation, the chosen recipes, the delegation, and the organization of this affair mirrored our involvement in our churches. The psychological immersion began before we even gathered. The day before Cookie Day each of my aunts, my grandmother and even my cousin’s grandmother would work on the phone to assure the assignment of each desired recipe and food item to each member. Aunt Cindy always made the oatmeal raisin cookies and Linzer cookies, Aunt Dana always made the thumbprints and peanut butter kiss cookies, Aunt Sherry, the gingerbread, Aunt Monica, the chocolate chip, my grandmother, the almond Spritz cookies, and my mother made Italian ricotta cookies. Aunt Colleen made the sugar cookie dough in advance so that the dough had time to chill and on Cookie Day she sat with the children at the living room table and helped us cut and decorate our cookies. My mother always bought the foundational food items like the flour, the sugar, the butter, and the baking soda, and depending on their assigned recipes, everyone brought what they needed. Though my grandmother always arrived the earliest with extra mixing bowls, baking sheets, and electronic mixers, my mother had the leading role given that she was host. She managed

I remember waking up on Christmas day with a huge smile on my face, heart full of joy, and my stomach barking. I can smell all the spices cooking down stairs. As soon as I got out of bed I will rushed down the steps into the kitchen to see what my mom had prepare for us on this special day. We had different variety of food turkey, stuffing, ham, bake beans, mac and

As a child, my family would celebrate every holiday with grandeur, especially Christmas. We have specific traditions and rituals that we carry out during the season, but the most important of our traditions is what we do on Christmas morning. Our rituals and traditions reflect our values as well as my own of family, unity, and tradition. The morning of the holiday my mother has always woken my brother and I, and then brought us to our dad so we could all walk down to the family room. As we gather in the family room around our tree and presents, my mom serves us each a piece of her Christmas casserole, saved for this special morning. Following our video-taped walk down to our presents, my brother, mother, father, and I open one gift from each other and the first thing in our stocking. After this ritual, my brother and I would go downstairs to our in-law suite where our grandmother lived, to wake up our Mimi and pull her upstairs so that we could finish opening presents and have hot chocolate with our entire family. One Christmas morning

After a few minutes we are announced that the dinner is served. Everyone takes a seat at the large oak table, waiting anxious for the delicious dishes to be brought. But, what I think that everyone is really waiting for is the delightful desert. No one can picture the Christmas table without the delicious Christmas Chocolate Cake, which is brought by my grandma herself. Everything is so magical that you don't even dare to breathe.

The tradition began on Christmas day in 1994, when my great grandmother Doris Murray gave a simple housewarming gift to my mom and dad, as they had just moved in to their first house together. The gift was a cookbook she had purchased from a local church in which she was a frequent visitor to. Little did our family know that within this cookbook would be a recipe that evolved in to a tradition that would be made at all of our following family gatherings. Together, my mother and great grandmother cooked a lasagna that would be a part of the meal for Christmas supper, and almost every family function that followed. As my great grandmother was the oldest member of my father’s side of the family she was
