love one another and you will be happy

Love one another and you will be happy. It's as simple and as difficult as that. Michael Leunig

trying to change the world

"Since the beginning of time, people have been trying to change the world so that they can be happy. This hasn’t ever worked, because it approaches the problem backward. What The Work gives us is a way to change the projector—mind—rather than the projected. It’s like when there’s a piece of lint on a projector’s lens. We think there’s a flaw on the screen, and we try to change this person and that person, whomever the flaw appears on next. But it’s futile to try to change the projected images. Once we realize where the lint is, we can clear the lens itself. This is the end of suffering, and the beginning of a little joy in paradise."
Byron Katie

be who you are

'Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind'. Dr. Seuss

a lift to outer space

When I was a kid my favourite fantasy was to travel into outerspace - still is really - minus some of the scary images we've been fed on TV.  But I love this story that has been released about a lift into outer space - have you heard about it?  It is called a space elevator...

getting even

The only people with whom you should try to get even are those who have helped you. John E. Southard

Grace

A couple of days ago I placed a link to Cheryl Richardson's site, after reading one of her newsletters in my email. Then yesterday, I was in The Salvos second hand store browsing through the book section, and there in front of me was one of her books on Grace - hmmm I thought, hang on I was just talking about Cheryl in my blog... so I bought the book and last night as I was reading it, she mentions exactly these types of happenings, one thing leading to another, and being directed by Grace. Have you ever had things like that happen to you? I am sure you have, perhaps you call it a different name - coincidence, focus?

Anyway - in the book Cheryl mentions a website called My Inner World I've just been visiting there - what a wonderful site. It is so uplifting and informative and just delightful - it made my day.
