Thoughts on Remembrance Day

We often forget to honour our veterans outside of Remembrance Day or Remembrance Week, in the case of this year.

  Instead, we  need to honour them each day by doing something for them and/ or their  widows and families who may be left behind from those who served in our most recent wars.

 Once a year is simply not enough!

Paying homage to them  is a  part of our daily pilgrimage..   This is our reality... This is our duty. 

Forgiveness

One way to heal a wounded spirit is forgiveness. Forgiveness is the best gift you can give yourself and others. It is one step in the process of drycleaning the soul.

To honour International Women's Day

Don’t walk ahead of me and be above me. Don’t walk behind me and be below me. Walk beside me and be my equal in heart, mind and spirit.

We bear our own autograph...

We bear our own autograph in every word we speak and every action we take on a daily basis...so it is important that we try to examine each word and action to ensure it represents the essence of who we are and we stand for. Ask yourself the question continuously.. are we hurting ourselves or others with these words or with these actions... Consideration for yourself and for others is one of the main building blocks for developing mutually respectful relationships.

New Year's Resolutions

To challenge ourselves spiritually, we can try approaching this New Year by doing something different each day and getting out of our comfort zone. Complacency is indeed the death of creativity.... So try a new approach to New Year's resolutions and check out this site... www.365thingsin365days.com. This is one way of breaking out of the norm of being mediocre. Wishing everyone all the best for 2013. Happy New Year !
