Love and Light: Monday Offerings...

Monday Offerings...

This weekend was busy.
Not it the way you might think.
There were no Birthday Celebrations going on.
Instead my time was filled with a fundraising banquet for a cause near and dear to my heart.

I won't go on about it here...
but if you are interested you can find my personal story here and the official web site here.

I had a song planned for this morning...but with my foster kids on my heart and all those I love and miss in Medellin Colombia, this is my music offering for you today. The video holds images from the work trips we have taken, to assist in the building of the community centre we facilitate on Nativity Hill, Medellin, Colombia.

We are blessed here in North America.
I know we have our own struggles that we deal with, but nothing...
nothing compares to the life that impoverished children face everyday.
Please raise a pray, a thought, a blessing for them today and all those who are committed to making a difference...
These children have so much to offer us all...
they have changed my heart and life forever.

Love and Light

"Humankind has not woven the web of Life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. all things are bound together. all things connected." ~Chief Seattle, 1854

If ever there comes a time when the women of the world come together purely and simply for the benefit of mankind, it will be a force such as the world has never known."~ Matthew Arnold

“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”~ Buddha

"The world will be saved by the Western woman....Some people will call me a feminist...but we need more effort to promote basic human values-human compassion, human affection. And in that respect, females have more sensitivity for others' pain and suffering." ~Dalai Lama

"All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another." ~Anatole France

"We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another;unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, resent, and the future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations." ~Anais Nin

"Process is more important than outcome. when the outcome drives the process we will only ever go to where we've already been. If process drives outcome we may not know where we're going, but we will know we want to be there." ~ Bruce Mau
