Voice of the Heart: Being Yourself
The Voice of the Heart theme is partly about freeing us from the effects of society and protecting our mental and physical health. This is important because you create your future based on your actions, and your wellbeing is directly affected by the things you put up with. You might feel brave and sensible forContinueContinue reading “Voice of the Heart: Being Yourself”

Wake up to Love
If you believe in love as a way of life, you will be even more baffled at this time in history that other people don’t. That they actually laugh. If the people who start wars believed in love, they wouldn’t happen. If world leaders believed in love then there would be no oppression. If everyoneContinueContinue reading “Wake up to Love”
Moved by Spirit
Living from the perspective of mind, body, spirit, reminds you to go to your heart, the seat of soul. Never forget the old cliche, the heart knows. It’s one of those home truths that make us smile, shrug, and forget until someone mentions it again. It’s not a cliche it’s the truth! Your heart can’tContinueContinue reading “Moved by Spirit”

There’s nothing better to do in a day is there? When the religion is different that just adds to the fun doesn’t it? Now that weContinueContinue reading “Minefield Time of Year”

Saving a Book Meant to Help
You publish a book, it sells for a bit then it stops and you lose confidence. Then you wake up and realise that this is a book intended to help, and no matter what it should be promoted.
A Song for All Democracies
Tonight I was watching probably the most uninspiring Last Night of the Proms I’ve seen. There were some wonderful songs and acts, the best of which was Bohemian Rhapsody. But the energy just wasn’t there. Something was just off compared to Proms of the past. It got me thinking though. Land of Hope and GloryContinueContinue reading “A Song for All Democracies”
Connection
The absence of connection in this world allows us to see others as ‘other’, not us, different, not important, wrong. To build stronger understanding and connections is to build a better world. This may sound airy-fairy, but when you see what governments are doing, it seems that the line for decency must be held by us.
