Three Things To Inspire Your Weekend (28)


Quote of the day:
Find your voice and inspire others to find theirs.

Last month, on the 28th of September, the Moon turned a shade of red in various parts of the world -a result of the Earth moving between the Sun and the Moon. According to Nasa, it is the first time in more than 30 years that the world will witness a supermoon in combination with a lunar eclipse, and the phenomenon occurs when the moon is full at its perigee - the closest part of its orbit around Earth -meaning it appears larger than usual in the sky.

US Basketball player, John Wall of the Washington Wizards has donated over $400,000 to a charity that helps kids whose families are in shelters or transitional housing. Bright Beginnings which provides support to around 162 kids daily, is hoping to start a second child development center that would serve an additional 100 children.

As seen on Arch Daily's 10 most impressive houses of 2015, a house designed by Architects Olson Kundig Architects and located in Okanogan County, Washington, US.  Set in the remote Methow Valley, the house has compositions of four separate detached structures, that surrounds a central courtyard. Each structure is rotated toward the different dramatic elements in the surrounding landscape.

  8. I set my alarm to see the blood moon but it was very foggy when I woke up. I decided I wouldn't go out into the cold if I wasn't going to get a good view.

  21. I really look forward to your Weekend Inspirations. Thanks so much.
    We saw the Blood moon here in Texas and it was just awesome...so pretty and so glad we were able to see it. Not having a good camera, I didn't get a photo but have enjoyed others on the web.
    Have a beautiful weekend.

  22. Great stories. I'm especially touched by the charity one. Good people in this world!

  23. That moon looked fantastic over here, too; I did take a picture but it is still on my camera and may take a while before it appears in my blog - and then of course it won't look anywhere near as spectacular as yours.

    Always good to see when someone who has money spends it on something useful and not just squanders it all away on expensive women and cars...

  24. Doesn't the moon look great. Over here it was at it's best in the early hours of the morning. I got up twice during the night to take a look but sadly seemed to miss it! Thanks for an uplifting post.

  25. Wow that house looks incredible :)

  30. No blood moon here - clouds got in the way.
    I took a Stephen Covey course many years ago to help me organize my time. My oldest daughter who was in high school went too. Later we sent the second daughter to the course. It was a big help for all of us. I still do many of the things I was taught in that class like prioritizing tasks for the week, listing things to do, and long term planning.

  31. I wish I had seen that blue moon. Beautiful pic!...Christine

  32. I got a few photos of the eclipse, it was cloudy here when the moon first came up so I felt fortunate to see anything...I will be way too old for the next one:)

  33. Love the quote today. I learned a lot from the books of Stephen Covey :)

  34. Hi Blogoratti! I think that finding your voice is one of the most powerful things you can do. Each person has a unique voice that deserves to be heard. My husband and I went out to see the super moon eclipse here in Victoria, British Columbia, where it was a gorgeous reddish orange. Spectacular. Thanks for getting my weekend off to an inspired start!

  37. Supermoon, big moon, bright moon, shines on us.
    Great hopes.

  38. I feel sports playeres get payed way too much for waht they do, esp when you consider what our troops do that actually has lasting affect and is so dangerous. But when I hear or read of such things like this, that is jsut so lovely. thanks for bringing to our attention. So glad there are many out there who are indeed very giving people with big hearts.

  39. I love the first photo !

  40. I wish people were generous to those in need. I started giving money to them about two times a month. I can afford it, not much, but still. I'm glad I can help a little.
