We come from all different backgrounds, origins and lands. We come from many religions, oceans and tongue. We come from a time long ago with history steeped with plentiful times of both balanced and not.

We are here now. In the digital age. The generation of my children growing amongst so many items at their finger tips yet they need instructions on how to use the fingertips. How is it we are here and so lost with soul and ancestry? How is it, people care more for accessories and not necessities or basics? The lack of respect and care for oneself let alone another.

Of course this is not everyone, and for my positive brain I see plenty of great people with great hearts and kindness within. I just feel ashamed to be apart of a society that is consumed by so many things that really void the basics of what the human body requires to live with fulfillment. To me, Love, Kindness, Respect, Honour, Values, are some of the exterior qualities that most can acquire or contain within their core self. That goes hand in hand with showing all that to self as well. For if you cannot give to yourself first, how can you give to others? Or do you give the lot to others and find that they take more than they give? Why would they need to give when you give more away to compensate for them?

We come to this world choosing our path and families or situations that allow our souls to gain certain perspectives. Although when we are born, we forget. We become “new” and learn it all over again. To live, to breathe, to drink, to sleep etc. It is up to us to connect back to our souls to tap into our wise ancestry to bring forth this knowing. When you do, or gravitate towards it, it is amazing what progresses. You see glimpses of past, an inner knowing of history or events, a connection that only you know what is right and what is ahead. It asks for attention and patience, but it is there and in time, the difficulties become less and your heart fills with content. For some this sounds like a load of crap or hogwash, for others they know this connection and how it can/could develop. For a small minority, they know and have felt or seen the peace it can provide.

I have endured many things, not tragic but enough that makes my mind wander into sabotage/self doubt. I am human of course. BUT. Always a big BUT! I chose to follow what my heart and mind were wanting. A thirst for knowledge in many areas, mainly spirituality. I have grown, learnt ways to heal, mend and just be. I am so eager for more, I am sure Pete thinks”what now?!” But that is ok. I am reconnecting to self. I am guiding my children to do this also (gently and not always working) but mainly me as what I can do will eventually gravitate to the family. I think it is important to have good self care (failing at exercise, no need to remind me), such as: nutrition, brain stimulation, meditation, self love, kindness & love, happiness, laughter, family & friends, adventure, expression……mostly. Probably more but at 10pm at night I have listed enough!

Wrapping up cause I thought it was earlier, but we come from generations of strong men & women with many stories and experiences. They are within me. They have helped shape me, in more ways than one! Continue living with good core values, live with passion and love, make sure you create time for you, celebrate you. Remember the people where we come from as one day your ashes will be those also. Create the new. Be the love.
