Awesome 67 Minutes,  


It’s a privilege to be able to recognise what counts in life – “compassionate acts” and an honour to put into practice those selfless acts that count.

Barefoot Lilly




Working her way through the tough times. She had what it took for the tillage of, salt of the earth ethics”.

And here she is now”,  



Twist, turn and a twirl to a sublime narration of the untainted, unblemished narration of true incidents of events designed to interest, amuse and instruct the hearer or the reader.

"Barefoot Lilly" is here to give courage to children borne into hard knocks, ill fortune, kiss of death to mangled, fragmented and eventually raggedness and the much-needed hope to grow stronger, bigger and better.


Note: This beautiful painting of “Barefoot Lilly”, began with a picture which is 45 years old. Thank you for such splendid art Danie Hattingh

Robin



Robin has flown into your life;

Robin signifies stimulation of new growth and renewal in many areas of life. He teaches that any changes can be made with joy, laughter and a song in your heart. This bird shows you how to ride the winds of passion within your heart and become independent and self reliant through this change. The energy of this bird will teach you how to move forward with grace, tenacity, perseverance and assertion. Are you letting go of personal dramas? Ones that no longer serve your higher purpose? Are you exercising compassion and patience in mental, spiritual and emotional areas? This creature will teach how to incorporate new beginnings with faith and trust in the process. It is time to believe in yourself and use the inspiration that is given. Listen carefully. It is time sing your own song for a new period in your life.

Life Has No Meaning Until You Create It

We are all presented with a ‘meaningless’ blank canvas at birth. The marks this canvas gathers over time are there to complete a picture – your picture.

None of these marks are so permanent that you cannot erase them or paint over them. All of them, in some way, give meaning and significance to life. Some marks may appear to be running the picture while others are so precious that we think they are the picture. But, in the final analysis, any masterpiece includes both light and shade; the one is not more important than the other.The story of YOUR life is captured in YOUR picture. Take responsibility for your canvas and seek ways to paint a picture that will serve yourself and those around you.If it is a meaningful life you want, this is the book that will grow your understanding of meaning, deepen your relationship with yourself and others, and inspire you to create a life worth living.

Values

Teaching by example

First BE then SAY
To eliminate the consequences of inconsistency.

Helping children to develop responsibility, honesty and respect is usually considered just as important as teaching reading or comprehension skills. A parent who does one thing but expects or demands the opposite from a child is more likely to have discipline problems.

Pass Not Judgement

Pass not judgement from gazing
To know the story, read the book
Not browse the cover
Or flip the pages
Nor graze at images passing by your eye
To know the truth, read the book.

When Moments are Tough

When the wind blows briskly
When your fingers are chilled to the bone
When your feet drags you by
When your belly needs a hot brew
I hope you have much courage and strength
To get you by one foot in front of the other from here to here
That place that will rest you.  ( The Book of Blessings) by Nelline Naidoo

Creation's Boon

May creation stand long and tall
For the fruit laden trees
The milk yielding cow
The plant giving sustenance
Air giving life
Sun giving heat
Rain giving water
Thankful we are.

Even The Richest...

The richest soil uncultivated produces the rankest weeds and so is a life guilded in clover when left fallow yields a fetid life.nn.
