Greetings,

Welcome to the March edition of the Quolkids newsletter. Unfortunately it is arriving in your inbox a little later than planned.  However it should be just in time for Easter.  See below for some Easter activity ideas for the whole family.

The aim of this newsletter is to keep you up to date with our news and what is happening on the Quolkids website as well as its 'sister' website 'Soulbirth'.  

Well 2009 is off and racing!!  The Christmas break has just finished and now we're already on the Easter break.  Time seems to be moving at a very rapid pace.  Even my kids comment on how fast the time goes by.  I don't remember it being that way when I was a kid.  

So what can we do to find stillness in each and every day, so that we can reflect on what is happening all around us?  I have found that if I wake each morning and take 5-10 minutes to focus on the day ahead, the day seems to unfold in a much more orderly manner.  Take a few deep breaths, clear the mind and then focus on the day ahead.  Note all the things that have to be done, then all the things you'd like to do.  Organise them in your mind in some kind of orderly sequence.  See the day then unfold perfectly to plan, with grace and ease.  Take a few more deep breaths and come back to the present.  If you need to, write it all down.  Then go about your day and notice if it made any difference.  I have found repeatedly that when I do this small activity, it releases the chaos of the day and I remain much more calm throughout.

News

On Saturday 7th February 2009 we had our big event...the 'Universal Day of Soul-Birthing'.  It was a big success. The day focused on realizing our true potential and acknowledging beautiful souls everywhere on all planes of existence.  The aim was to dedicate time to honour our souls journey and raise awareness on a global/universal level about how truly amazing we all are!!  

For a summary of the days events, visit the homepage at: http://www.soulbirth.com and follow the links.

Later this month, I will begin a series of FREE 'teleclasses' on a series of topics about 'the souls journey'.  This is a follow on from the 'Universal Day of Soul-Birthing' as promised.  The titles of these teleclasses will be:

1. Who are we and why are we here?...The journey of our soul.
2. The collective Consciousness...and the Universal Law of Existence.
3. What happens at birth?...The incarnation process.
4. The journey through life in a physical existence.
5. Death as a transition...The return to source.
   

An email will be sent out shortly regarding dates and times, and an opportunity to register for these classes.  Each teleclass will be recorded so that you can listen in at your leisure if you miss the live event.  You must register to receive the links to these.

Activities

Now with Easter upon us, why not spend the day doing some traditional Easter activities?  Why not make some 'hot cross buns'?  Following is a recipe:

Hot Cross Buns

Method
Put the flour, yeast, salt, mixed spice and currants into a bowl and make a well in the centre.

Melt the butter and add the milk together with the sugar. Warm to blood temperature (same as your fingers). Too much heat will kill the yeast, and too little and it won't rise.

Pour the milk and butter mixture into the well and add the beaten eggs. Mix until a soft dough is formed. Turn out onto a lightly floured board or bench and knead until the dough is very elastic (about 15 minutes).

Place the dough into a lightly greased bowl. Cover with cling film or a tea towel and leave to rise in a warm place for about 90 minutes until the dough has doubled in volume. While the dough is rising, roll and form the marzipan into strips for the crosses and beat an egg with a little milk for the glaze. Use a little icing sugar to stop the marzipan from sticking whilst rolling. Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured board and knock down. Knead again for a few minutes. Divide the mixture into 12 pieces and form each one into a bun shape. Place onto a greased tray and leave for approximately 15 minutes until doubled in bulk. Brush with egg glaze and place a cross on top of each one. Bake for about 15 minutes at your preheated temperature of 200 degrees Celsius. Cool on a wire rack.

Why not share an Easter story with the kids?  Find one at the following link: http://www.quolkids.com/funstuff/activities/autumn_easter_story.htm

Enjoy your Easter holidays with family.  Spend some time reflecting on what Easter is all about.  It's not just all about chocolate and the Easter bunny!  Think of something nice to do for another person on this day and give the gift of a smile to all those that you meet.  A happy, positive attitude can make all the difference in the world, not only to yourself, but to all those around you.

I hope you have enjoyed this newsletter from Quolkids.  I look forward to sharing more news and views with you next time.  HAPPY EASTER!!
