Oh my gosh! It seems like war and murder are the order of the day, judging by last night's TV and today's radio reports. It appears that the world is at war with itself. The theme that mankind is living is WAR, hatred, intolerance and more hatred, revenge, bitterness and unforgiveness.
The news reader on 'Five FM' this morning reported how proud Jacob Zuma is of his troops who have just been to war in North Africa. He gave his encouragement and blessing to those who so bravely gave their lives for the CAUSE.
What is the cause? What is it we are fighting? Who are we fighting? Are we still in medieval times? Seriously now. How has mankind evolved in the last few centuries?
Highway robberies have been replaced by car hijackings and motes and castles have been replaced with high security estates and electric fences.
We haven't evolved spiritually. The only thing that has evolved is the sophistication of our weaponry. We are murdering each others brothers and sisters. We are murdering ourselves.
We, humanity, need to wake up and feel. This is crazy. Billions and billions are spent each year as our governments allocate exorbitant funds for the purchase of weapons.
It is time that we STOP. Put down the guns. Stop this endless, repetitive and futile waste of human life; this never ending 'you hurt me so I'll hurt you' cycle.
Imagine if we spent all those allocated funds on propagating love, on teaching others compassion, on helping the have-nots with basic necessities like food and shelter.
Imagine a world in which we spend our resources on building a kinder more loving environment out of love, rather than amassing protection for ourselves and slaying those in our midst.
We need to press the pause button on our lives and close our eyes. We need to go within and ask ourselves how we could better serve humanity with the resources we have got. We need to take a moment and dream for ourselves a new dream.
It is time and it is possible. We need to teach love by being examples of love to our children, siblings, parents, friends and strangers. We need to draw on our inner reserves of love and compassion.
Now is the time to open our hearts and dream a new dream. Now is the time to kiss the wounds and step up to the plate and say: "No more fighting. It stops with ME." We need to release ourselves from our past judgements. We need to forgive ourselves our bitterness and our past hurts to self and others.
It is up to each one of us to make a stand and end the war. We need to stop the conflict in our personal lives with ourselves, our partners, our friends, our co-workers and those whom we don't even know, but have so many judgements towards.
We need to become conscious that every other being on this planet is like us. We all want to feel safe, loved and free of suffering. So why continue to make others suffer? We must be the love we want to feel. We must be the compassion we want to receive. We must be stewards of love. We must sow kind words of encouragement. We must start to share what we have and stop hoarding for ourselves.
It is time humanity. Dare to dream a new dream. Imagine a world in which our intent is for others to not suffer. Imagine our resources and taxes being shared amongst those in need. Imagine children being cared for and protected. Imagine a world which understands one another and encourages each other's differences. Imagine my sole concern being for your greater good and yours for mine.
The world is dependent on you and me. Let's change our hearts and dream this dream.
Together let's heal our world!
have a kind week
love

Oh My Word!
Do you have any idea how much power you wield in your spoken word?
Words are like missiles. They are backed by intention which is creative energy at its very source. Every thought that you think and every word that you speak carries substance, either the substance to heal or the substance to break down and destroy.
It is vitally important that you recognise the power you wield in your tongue and that you choose carefully what you propagate into the ethers.
And you must start with yourself. Start to observe your internal dialogue. What is it that you catch yourself thinking and believing and saying to yourself? What are those entrenched and outdated beliefs that you have unknowingly adopted and now live by? Challenge your thoughts about yourself, others and the world around you. Start to think for yourself. Do the beliefs that you have been conditioned into by society, your parents, your teachers, leaders and so on serve you? Have you ever challenged the beliefs that have been handed down to you from mortal to mortal?
Remember our parents did the best job they knew how to do, and so did our grandparents and their parents before them. We have to admit that we are imperfect and that is absolutely alright. Don't have judgement towards yourself about that. We have to admit that our lineage is full of imperfect people who have tried to mould and grow us up according to the beliefs handed down to them by their forefathers. O.k. that is a scary thought.
If we just accept the beliefs and thoughts of those imperfect people who came before us, we can easily see how the sins of the forefathers permeate down the lineage for seven generations to come. If we don't examine our inherited conditioning we are going to cause that cycle to continue into perpetuity.
We have a duty to ourselves, our immediate families and our extended family of humans and all other life forms on the planet, to return to the main computer which is our mind and filter through all the viruses that are clogging up our processing systems.
We need to weed out the beliefs that we are not good enough, that we are sinners, that we are useless and that we are unworthy. Who said that? Do you believe that? Do you accept the labels that were passed down to you from your primary school teacher that you are lazy and stupid? Do you buy the branding your parents gave you that you 'll never amount to anything? They may have told you that you are so talented and make them proud. But do you believe them? Are their thoughts and words the ones that have become entrenched in your belief about yourself?
You need to use the power of your word to break the bondage of your past beliefs and harness the power that is yours to tell yourself that you love you, that you are beautiful and exactly as you are meant to be.
You are the master creator of the life you live so start to empty the garbage that has infiltrated your networks and free up the space on your main frame. Delete the destructive messages that are clogging your airwaves and slowing you down. Send them to your deleted folder and then wipe them out once and for all.
Now with a fresh clean slate select those words that you wish to be your new branding about yourself. Choose carefully and select only those thoughts that empower and evolve you and cause you to be a beacon of light to all those in your midst.
You are beautiful. You are worthy. You are valuable. You are a key player. The world's success depends on you. You are love.
Start confessing it and the more you practise saying it the sooner you'll start living it.
You are a beautiful child of God. Say it!
Have a powerful week ahead filling your mind with your enlightened word in love, because love is all there is.
"I love you." Now you say it to yourself and believe it.

Stoop Down
Hello all you gorgeous readers
I am in the throes of working with my editor on my book, 'Forgiveness', which is keeping me rather tied up, delightfully so I must add. However, I thought I’d share with you what
I wrote for Spice4Life this week.
All you need to do is press the control
