Respect is a behaviour that is a core value.No matter what your identity. Male, female or other. Cutural background and ethnicity. Every person has the right to be respected but first you need to respect yourself. I have written many times about how important looking after yourself first is. How can you care for anotherContinue reading “Respect”

Unconditioal love is an affection that knows no boundaries and has no conditions attached. It is often seen in the love of a parent for a child. Unconditional love is often referred to as true love. True love is not possible without self love. Self love is the anchor that true love needs in order toContinue reading “Unconditional love.”

Guilt is a common emotion. One that is driven by thoughts of our past. Thoughts that chip away at our confidence and our self esteem. When we hang on to guilt day after day it becomes soul destroying.  Carrying the weight of guilt can be a very heavy burden which at times overwhelms us and pushesContinue reading “Stop feeling guilty.”

I often hear others speaking about their rights, as if they have the right to say and do whatever they want, to whomever they want and whenever they want.  My point is that with rights comes responsibilities. Responsibilities to respect ourselves and others. Responsibilities to protect ourselves and others. Responsibilities to care for ourselves andContinue reading “Responsiblities”

Have you ever thought how you’d live your life if you knew when you would die? Take some time to think about your answer. If I knew when I’d die I would change a few things I am currently doing. I would slow down, taking time to relax and meditate. I would tell the peopleContinue reading “Don’t wait until the end to live your life.”

I worried incessantly until mole hills became mountains. I beat myself up daily repeating the same mantra of despair. I dragged a heavy loadContinue reading “Leaving my baggage behind.”

Today for the first time in many weeks I was up before sunrise. How wonderful it was to be able to pull the curtains back in my room and watch the magic of warm colours painting the clouds on the horizon.  How wonderful it is to feel JOY and PEACE at last. Over many weeksContinue reading “Today I saw the Sun Rise”

This morning I read an excellent article about doing the things you enjoy. Why? Simply because you enjoy doing them, they are your happy places, your mind stillers, your feeling soothers and your smiling moments. Never underestimate the power of doing the things you enjoy. They are powerful reminders that life needs to have aContinue reading “En JOY”

Not only do we need the natural world to survive physically we also need the world of nature to create a balanced mental outlook. Just imagine what it would be like if we were wrapped in a physical cocoon separated from the natural world. Am I correctly guessing that this would be too horrible to contemplate? The naturalContinue reading “Nature is what I need every day.”

Joy is feeling I have written about previously. Along with love and compassion, it completes the triumvirate, the golden triangle of feelings. Joy is something I need to practice flinging around with abandon. Joy is something that gives back. Joy is infinite, it has no bounds. It returns to me in equal measure. Joy comesContinue reading “Joy”
