  AFFIRMATIONS Brought to you by the  Gus and Gia Puppet Show Affirmations are utilized for many purposes.  From a general sense, they are used to work with and reprogram the subconscious mind, to set an encouraging tone for us to believe various positive things about ourselves, or even the world in which we live and defining our place in this world.  Affirmations are also instrumental in supporting us to create the type of reality we desire.  The areas in which we can make, or also attract, are typically areas like love, financial abundance, happiness and beauty.

  PENGUINS   Brought to you by Gus and Gia Puppet Show There are eighteen to twenty-one different species of these lovable flightless marine birds.   One may not realize this, however, most of the species do not actually reside in Antarctica, but rather specifically on islands where they can breed, and between the latitudes of forty-five degrees and sixty degrees.   Surprisingly, a few penguins actually live in more milder climate regions, and the Galapagos penguin can be found at the Equator.

  BUGS AND INSECTS   Brought to you by Gus and Gia Puppet Show The term bug and insect are often used interchangeably.   A bug is type of insect with a mouth shaped similarly to a straw.   To fully clarify, all true bugs are also insects, however not every insect is also a true bug. True to their defined physical characteristics, bugs like the Aphids or Spittlebugs, will utilize this strong mouth part in order to pierce plants.   This allows them to drink the plant's sap, or other juices.   Other bugs, like some of the Shield Bugs and Water Striders use the same mouth part to consume a variety of spiders, insects and other smaller animals. Insects have three main body parts which include the head and then the thorax (comprising the middle part) and finally the abdomen, which is the end part.   On the head of the insect, one will find the antennas, eyes and mouth parts.   Many species that are in the adult stage have two types of eyes with one type being simple and the other
