What are our rights as humans?
Living in a country where there is so much violence, as citizens and as people we have almost become immune. And yet so much abuse goes on around us and in our circles every day.
Emotional abuse between lovers,
Abuse of power by employers, teachers, principals
Physical abuse by owners to pets, husbands to wives, wives to husbands
Abuse of our resources - leaking taps, rubbish discarded from our windows and thrown on our streets.
As the supreme beings on this planet, we get to pick. We get to pick how we treat every living thing with less power than us. So for those of us who are angry, hurt, abandoned, unloved, often we choose to inflict the same on those less powerful.
A quick kick to the dog on the corner. A hurtful word to the young child in need of guidance.
As humans, we have so many rights. And yet how many of those are taken from us by those in our every day circles?
Today I urge you to think about this, and to start to say NO! No more will you take the nastiness, and the hurt, and push it to those around you. As from now, look at the people in your life, and decide to treat them in the very way you want to be treated.
Give them a hug, throw them a smile, lower the tone of your voice.
Our country and our world so badly needs love. Let this difference start with you.
Remember always:
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Marianne Williamson

Together, we can move mountains
On Saturday I attended a Mentoring Walk, celebrating International Women's Day. I was fortunate enough to have four people from my team come and support and assist us all.
What a fabulous, meaningful day was had by all.
A group of 70 people, walking in solidarity with over 80 other countries nationally! The energy and the buzz in the room was undeniable and absolutely amazing. Always such a privilege to be involved in such a project and I was assigned two beautiful souls to guide and mentor.
The message which came out of this day, over and over, was BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD.
And so I challenge you, in a world so full of resentment, bitterness and anger, to cast that aside and to go against the grain. Love, cherish, nurture, and be kind to one another
Till next time xx
