Today is Clean Up Australia Day. Why do we still need Clean Up Australia Day? Why are people still dumping their rubbish wherever they feel like it, without any concern for the people who live nearby, the animals who will inevitably be harmed, or our beautiful planet, which is becoming less and less beautiful with every piece of rubbish dropped? There has been pressure from some people to get rid
For my homework for for my French class, I had to write a short essay under the above title (Who am I?), which was supposed to be an article for a blog. This was the hardest thing I had ever had to write. It is hard enough to write about oneself in one's native language, but having to translate it into a foreign language is really difficult. When writing about some
As we had Valentine’s Day during the week, I thought it timely to talk about romantic love. Hubby and I are not much into Valentine’s Day, so apart from a Toastmasters meeting devoted to Valentine’s Day, the day went largely unnoticed by the both of us. We occasionally buy each other Valentine’s cards, but the one I bought him a few years ago was such a perfect card for him,
Last night I watched the movie, Suffragette, about the brave young women who fought to acquire the vote for women in early twentieth century Britain. This movie really opened my eyes to the hardships which these women endured in order to bring about a better way of life for all future generations of women. Prior to watching the movie, although I had a vague knowledge of the Suffragette movement, I
While I had out the Magical Messages from the Fairies Oracle Cards (Doreen Virtue PhD) to do my daily reading, I decided to ask the fairies for some guidance about what my blog should be about this week. This is the card that appeared. Any discussion about healing is close to my heart, because it was a healing course which led me to my interest in all things spiritual and
I’m not sure what to celebrate about being Australian. I know there are a lot of things we can be grateful for. One is that we are girt by sea. As well as providing miles of beautiful beaches, it keeps any potential enemies at a disadvantage. Yet more and more people are becoming concerned, not that we are vulnerable from outside attack, but that we are vulnerable from attack from
I started feeling funny a couple of hours ago. I felt like a blanket of negativity was draped over my shoulders and over my head. I did a wonderful chakra-clearing meditation, and yet the feeling returned. It was a mild anxiety that felt like it was threatening to explode into a full-blown panic attack. I tried to understand where this feeling had come from. I hadn’t seen anything on Facebook
“Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope.” I have been hearing this playing in my head for weeks now, even before I started watching all the Star Wars movies that I had recorded off the Foxtel pop-up channel. Perhaps it started when Carrie Fisher died; I can’t be sure. All I know is that not a day has gone by in the last few weeks without me hearing this
If you have been following my daily card readings, you will have noticed that the reading for Friday 6th January was encouraging us all to have a relationship with God. God has been working away at this for quite a while now. The message quoted in my reading from The Findhorn Garden Story (“As it was in the beginning when man walked and talked with Me, so it is now
On this New Year’s Eve, the obvious topic for my blog is what we can expect for 2017. In numerology, 2017 is a year which adds to 1, which means new beginnings. Gerry Gavin has told us through his “Messages from Margaret” that 2017 is “The Year of Expansion”. At the beginning of any year, many people try to predict what might happen in the new year. Media representatives ask
