ABC of Love: n is for night

Sometimes we need to go into the dark to find the Light.

The Light is always with you but sometimes in the day time you cannot see it.

During our lives we will all experience a dark night. It may be through loosing someone or something we love or perhaps illness or financial worries.

Your Light can arrive in may forms. A few kind words of encouragement or perhaps a helping hand may arrive bringing you light in your darkest moments.

The greatest Light you can shine in your dark night is ‘self love’. It can bring encouragement, hope, self-assurance or just a knowing that you will get through your dark night and arrive in a lighter place. read more

I received the following from Menaca Joji, a friend and colleague who has written guest articles for Your Soul Family’s Life and Living blog. She received it from her Mum who lives in Sri Lanka.

Is the World becoming a better or worse place to be?

What do our newspapers say about our world?

Views on this topic are probably as numerous as there are people. Periodically I pick up a newspaper and look at the headlines as a barometer on prevailing attitudes.  I did this last weekend with London’s Evening Standard.

On the downside were headings relating to lies, accusations and tensions:

Fake paramedic treated more than a 100 people

Worst times on trains for 12 years but fares rise 3.1% – employees blamed

G20 summit tensions

It was not a good start to my review. However I went on to find the following headlines. Sadly they were further back in the paper as bad news seems to sell more papers than uplifting news. read more
