Today is the day we should all stop and ponder the enormous problem this country...no no, this world still has.
Today is White Balloon Day. The day that we take a stand against sexual abuse of children. (Mind you ever day should be a stand against sexual abuse)
What are children...innocence...those that steal that innocence...well I'll not going to say my thoughts, but I'm sure you get the drift.
Help all children and even help those that have been children of sexual abuse, those that are now adults in our society. SPEAK up and out about childhood sexual abuse.
By keeping the secret you give the power to the abuser. By keeping the secret, you keep childhood sexual abuse alive and ripe. Do your bit for the kids and for you.
So, wear white or fly a white balloon is support of wiping out childhood sexual abuse.
White Balloon Day
Brave Hearts
Every once in a while something comes along that completely sweeps you away. You become Jane in a Tarzan movie or Alice in Wonderland. For a brief day dream you are Cleopatra of Egypt or Jan Goodall and her Apes.
Whatever tantalizes your inner spirit, you are trans formed into the beauty of human kind.
I was metaphorically shipped to a place that unlocked and awakened me.
My first play, an experience to savor for eternity. Homo Apocalyptus by renowned playwright Dean Poyner, was held recently in Cairns. Directed in Cairns by Velvet Eldred who did a fantastic job and made me feel very welcome.
An almighty thank you to Megan Bayliss for the invite, with out such my view of zombies would be,
shall we say...dull.
Metaphorically speaking I have climbed Mt Everest, swum the English channel – twice, boxed Mike Tyson, danced with the devil and survived a fall down an ice cravat. So what, I hear you say. It is to reiterate that as mere humans we all have stories and journey's to live. Mine, well we'll leave that for just now and concentrate on finding your purpose in life.
Many who believe in the Bible believe one's life purpose is to serve God. To be a witness to His attributes and teach less fortunate people the truth. Less fortunate doesn't necessary mean poor, it means less in spirituality/faith.
Others believe their purpose is to leave their mark on the world, either by a great playwright or war hero, the memory of the mark lingers for eternity.
Still others believe that their life's purpose it to change the world. Impossible you snigger under your breathe. If I reply to the world as the human race/society we have created for ourselves, then yes it is possible. One feeling, one emotion, one act of kindness at a time.
In a world were body image, labelled clothes and iphones are the rage, we get lost in the purpose of happiness.
Happiness, what truly is the meaning...to be complete, whole with oneself. To not want to change you, but be accepting fully of your limitations and individual character.
What about encouragement, are you the type of person who gets comments like – 'you are always smiling' or 'you are so happy' or 'I love your laugh'. These are fantastic and very positive comments and as long as you have been true to self, then you are very deserving. At my place of work, I'm known as smiley. What a brilliant compliment. That my reflection on the outside mirror images the reflection on the inside. Took those two swims across the English channel to get those. Metaphorically speaking.
In my hunt for my purpose in life I literally have been slapped by it all my life, but never paid much attention, after all, who doesn't like a good slap now and then...oops mind wanders, sorry.
I have an amazing gift to teach. To teach positive to see the glass as always half full. To see the greatness in human spirit and be an advocate for the benefit of the doubt. To give people the freedom to move around in their own skin, when they themselves have no idea. To allow people to feel no judgement or fear of judgement as my just is unbiased and uncorrupted. To help people leave their masks at home and venture outside, vulnerable, naked and raw for the first time in their lives.
To stand aside and watch their hopes and dreams turn into reality right before their eyes.
I have for many years been the mentor and life coach, not only for my own trails and tribulations, but for all those people that have crossed paths with me, albeit for a moment to a life time. I have been already living my life's purpose.
If you like me, want to inspire people to reach their goals and leave a lasting positive influence in their life's then I encourage you to suss out these web sites, not only for yourself but for all human kind.
