Like Kevin, especially at this time of the year – but not exclusively – I long to share with those who don’t have the luxury of a warm and cozy home, enough to eat, etc.
One of the charities my family and I participate in is’Christmas in a shoebox’ or a similar organization which collects shoeboxes for children in Eastern European countries (Romania and so on) so that they can have a little Christmas surprise – some warm clothing, colours, pens and p...
One of the charities my family and I participate in is’Christmas in a shoebox’ or a similar organization which collects shoeboxes for children in Eastern European countries (Romania and so on) so that they can have a little Christmas surprise – some warm clothing, colours, pens and paper to draw or write, something to play with and some chocolate …
For our children, it is also good to see that in the world they live in, people live in so many different situations and that she we do have privileges, we also do have responsibility and MUST share with others!
I have just posted this in the Lounge, but for all who are writing / reading on this site, I want to make the reminder here, too:

This is one way to contribute to a more peaceful and just world tomorrow – and every day :-))
Be the change you want to see in this World! ~ Mahatma Gandhi
It’s when I go inwards and open myself to what is greater than me. Then I feel the sacred and see everything as an expression of it, and I feel my own inner light.
That’s a good question. Actually, I woukd like some things to end (better said to change to the better), but it seems they inly can change when I am away from family. Within the family, the same hurtful things than before occur, and it’s breaking my heart!
Thank you, EdS!
Thank you for sharing these beautiful thoughts, Antoinette!
Wishing you full success, dear Christina! I am sure you are on the way to it!
Me too, dear Pilgrim!
Thank you for sharing this dream … and what we can do to make it come true. Let’s begin with ourselves!
Blessings to you, dear Ose!
Dear Always Learning, I wish you the best possible outcome and healing for yourvtransplant! Being in Germany for a treatment right now and praying for the Gratefulness Community in the Ulm Cathedral as I said in the Gratitude Lounge, I am including you in my prayers! Blessings, Ursula
Wishing you healing, dear Christina! And congratulations for looking at it. When you can forgive, you liberate yourself.
As Louise Hay says in one of her meditations, when you can do it, it is as if a prison door opens, you get rid of your chains and walk out of the door, into the bright sunshine!
PS. My favorite sister who helps me such much has got the same name as you do!
Christina, I definitely love your sharings! Thank you! ????
Happy you are healing, dear Palm!
Have you ever tried eyebright (euphrasia)? It is a medicinal herb. Taking a very small quantity of it, allowing to infuse for only half a minute with boiling water, then waiting till it is lukewarm, and washing your eyes with it is a blessing for your eyes (in German we call it consolation of the eyes ????
Best to you, take care! Ursula
Hi Francine, have you seen the film ‘Kedi’? I have just been to the cinema and it’s for cat people … Although I do not have animals, I read about the film and decided to see it. It’s about cats living in the streets of Istanbul and people who feed them. It’s a wonderful and poetic film! I recommend it!
Wonderful, Kevin. Thank you!
Thank you for your honesty, Kevin!
I love this sentence: ‘Forgiveness is fruit from a tree that is high in spirit.’ And it is one of the most healing fruits!
Hi Alicia, grateful to read from you! It seems to me that these are relatively good news! I undergo a special kind of surgery tomorrow and pray that all goes well for me. Wishing your husband and you that all goes well for you, too!
Thank you, Always Learning! I have always thought that learning is something which goes in two directions, and we are always teachers and students at the same time! Anyone can teach us something if we open our eyes! Congrats to your students, they are blessed to have you as a teacher, I imagine!
