Over the last few weeks this site has had some strange happenings going on and I am putting it down to my lack of attention to it. You can liken it to a car for example. If you don’t put petrol in it, it won’t go!! To my loyal readers, for this I apologise in not bringing you material that keeps you informed and growing within yourself. With the upgrade and migration to a new server, I encountered some technical issues which are now resolved so all is up and running and now and I am back to writing for you.

Good vs Bad

I would like to bring your attention to something that struck me the other day. I watched a movie (shock, horror) which made me think about the good and the bad that is in the world today. Without the bad, there would be no good. What I mean to say is that every action has a complimentary reaction so when we hear of natural disasters or terrorist acts, we think these are bad things, but without them, we would not see the acts of kindness of the human race either. Follow me for a moment here.

In 2001, we all remember the planes crashing into the twin towers on 9/11. It didn’t hit me until one week later because at the time, I was with my firstborn in a sleep centre learning how to get her to sleep without too much interference from me. She happened to wake about 2am and that particular night, her cot was in the conference room where the night duty nurse had the TV on. I was half awake and the chaos of that day was unfolding right in front of my eyes on the tube. It didn’t really sink in until I was back home and my fogginess had cleared.

The events of that tragic day had everybody (or so it seems, as that is what the MEDIA portrayed to us) against terrorists and focusing on what they could and would do about them. Much later came the stories of acts of human kindness and because of this, there was a major shift in consciousness around the globe. People were helping others because it seemed the right thing to do. Now I am not discounting the thousands of people who lost their lives due to those attacks, and may they rest in peace, I am simply saying that if something as big as 9/11 didn’t happen, we may not have come as far as we have with a shift in consciousness.

I still don’t fully understand why it happened and I guess I never will because I cannot be those terrorists that made it so. What I can do though is be grateful that the human race can come together in times like these and give a helping hand.

Acts of Kindness

Now I have just described an event of mammoth proportions but it doesn’t take such an event for human kindness to shine through. Maybe you helped an elderly person cross the street, or maybe you cuddled a child who was hurt in an accident. It could be that you telephoned your wife/husband just to say “I love you” or even to take your mum shopping, or letting your niece write a post on your blog, lol! Whatever the case, I know each of you has this capability and if you wouldn’t mind sharing some thoughts on this, I am looking to write an ebook to be released when I get back from the Kokoda trek in which I will include a section about Acts of Kindness where I can feature what you share here.

PS. My niece who wrote the post prior to this has now set up her own blog at Michalea Is Me and I look forward to seeing what she does with it.

To Our Success

There is something going on that is so big that it is actually the biggest social transformation of humanity in the history of this planet. I was introduced to this movie “The Shift” which is about making the world a better place and it is an opportunity to make your life mean something in the process of changing the world. We all know that when we are at war, nobody wins. We are all losers. Not to mention the damage that has been done to the planet with Global Warming.

If our collective consciousness is in alignment with the shift of this transformation and enough of the population know about this, imagine how powerful we as human beings can move this process along?

This is something that has to be passed on to everyone you know so we can spread the word to the masses and can have an affect in shifting their way of thinking.

Watch the movie here and blessings to you all

Landmark: An event marking an important stage of development or a turning point in history.

Attending the Landmark Forum has been a wonderful gift for me and I thank my friends Jo Allnutt and Rick Harrison for having the courage and generosity to introduce me to this education.

It is an education for living and I have never before seen in all the seminars I have attended, the transformation of people from Day 1 to Day 3.  Just to give you an idea, Day 1 seems totally boring and no-one gets anything.  Every one has no energy and can’t wait for the day to end.   It’s the longest day ever.  You know what it’s like being in a room with 250 strangers.  Everyone is just checking everyone else out.  All the voices in your head talk to you and say “I don’t want to sit next to him/her”… “I wonder if they’re single?”… “Oh no, late again and I have to sit right up the front… d’oh”.  You get the idea.

So… by Day 3, the atmosphere in the room has totally transformed and you can’t hear the leaders for all the chatter going on.  People are sharing their breakthroughs all over the room.  It has such a positive impact on the lives of people that they leave with a higher sense of motivation and confidence and a real sense of community amongst a sea of strangers.

You get all kinds of people from all walks of  life in the Landmark Forum from professionals to young people, to mums and dads.  In fact, on average, 160,000 people attend this education  every year in locations all over the world!  This is what others are saying:

“Running a business is a complex matter and the heart of any business is people. I have yet to see anything else that has such a positive impact on people’s ability to relate, communicate, and perform as Landmark.”

Paul Fireman Chairman and CEO Reebok International, Ltd. USA

“Call it The Landmark Forum or call it Landmark Education… this is basic training for the mind, the heart, and the soul. It is the most positive transforming experience I’ve ever been a part of. If you want miracles in your life, this is the way.”

Mikio Uekusa, President Akebono Corporation Tokyo, Japan

This is very powerful information to have and for what it’s worth, the more people that know about it, the better a place this world will be.  Check it out for yourself.

Yours in generosity!
