Life is such a challenge: need some help?

Life and living standards have increased. You would think that this would make life easier, but I do not believe this is the case.

Life is very different from when I was young. With five adult children and many nieces and nephews, I see how the young run their lives.

Life is faster, more complicated plus there are greater physical distances between people as they travel or move for work.

I believe history will write up the 21st century as a revolution. The 19th and 20th centuries were an industrial revolution. The 21st century will be a technology and environmental revolution. Cleaner energy will become available, more effective health care and healthier life styles. read more

Happy wishing for 2019

In the UK and perhaps in many other countries too, we seem to be entering the New Year in turmoil. Brexit is upsetting both the UK and Europe, Trump is unsettling the stock markets and countries are thinking about trade tariffs.

Now is the time between Christmas and the start of 2019 to reflect on both the global and your personal situation.

What did you experience in 2018 and what would you like to bring in for you and your loved ones, your soul family, for 2019?

Think about the things that went well for you in the last year. For me 2018 was a good year. I made some good progress in becoming an author, mentor and life coach: read more

Home: do we value what it gives us?

I could not imagine what it is like to not have a home and a clean, warm bed to sleep in at night. Yet people sleep rough on our city streets every night, some by choice others by necessity. Yet it is not without its dangers. I remember how upset my daughter was when their friendly local tramp in her university city died of hypothermia one winter.

Hope: how to find the next step of belief

Hope is the thing with feathers

Hope is the thing with feathers  
That perches in the soul,  
And sings the tune without the words,  
And never stops at all,  
   
And sweetest in the gale is heard;          
And sore must be the storm  
That could abash the little bird  
That kept so many warm.  
   
I’ve heard it in the chillest land,  
And on the strangest sea;         
Yet, never, in extremity,  
It asked a crumb of me.

Emily Dickinson, 1830 – 1886
