Something to think about

There are a lot of good videos with wise and encouraging words floating around the net, They all have merit and are good to listen too but every now and again you kick over a stone and it turns out to be a diamond, this is one such case, I had to share this, please enjoy it!

The child, then the man

For my son....

How much are we worth?

I am beginning to realize that to be who we are supposed to be is the start of that realization, We are who God has created us to be and we are supposed to put all our efforts into that, be it personnel , work , emotional, spiritual etc.. and that way we are priceless and no-one has any right to see us as the lowest price, in fact if that’s what they see, they lose out on so much and that’s their loss. Be the priceless person who you are, write, create do, enjoy and value the fact that God values you so much that there is no price that can be attached. 

A Letter

My youngest daughter had a project for school on feminism, she read it out to my wife and I, Initially I was not going to comment, but after awhile I felt I needed to offer her some different perspectives to consider, These are my thoughts on a subject that is a mine field at most times and is based on what I understand which is limited by my experiences and knowledge.

A letter for my daughter

A friend suggested I posted it on the blog, I would hope that this is something all my girls will find useful in their lives. I am so very proud of all of them.

To live, to dream

A tribute to all the Pisceans out there

A Pisces person is humble, compassionate, sensitive, adaptable, kind, intuitive, and receptive. At times possibly vague, careless, indecisive, and unable to cope with practical things.

Of all the signs Pisces is the most susceptible to outside influence. On the positive side, the Piscean has great compassion and an ability to relieve the sufferings of other people. But Pisceans cannot stand too much reality. If they are wise, they escape 'positively' through the Arts. If unwise, they may allow themselves to escape through drugs, which will accentuate their natural indecisiveness.

The Piscean's torrent of emotion is so strong that they themselves may be confused and tormented by it. It is not easy for Pisceans to conform. Their natural kindness and charm will inspire their friends, and because of their delightful manner they will not even notice the chaos which all too often abounds in the Piscean home.

Pisceans must be careful in their relationships. They can easily be carried away, and discover, when it is too late, that the marvelous attributes they saw in their loved one do not really exist.

In principle Pisceans should not consider a career in which discipline plays too great a part.

Pisceans will find it difficult to insist on any form of correction, even verbal; and there is for that reason a strong tendancy for the children of Pisceans to be spoilt. It is hard to advise them how to combat this.

The Piscean child will not be happy at a strict or over-academic school. They may be good at languages or history. The more artistic their interests, the more positive will be their satisfaction.

I think everyone has a soundtrack to their life, so what is yours?

Etude by Mike Oldfield

One of the most haunting pieces of music you will ever hear. Etude, by Mike Oldfield from The Killing Fields

A reminder of the cruelty of mankind and why history should always be remembered to prevent things like this ever happening again.

The Cambodian Killing Fields (Khmer: វាលពិឃាត, Khmer pronunciation: [ʋiəl pikʰiət]) are a number of sites in Cambodia where collectively more than a million people were killed and buried by the Khmer Rouge regime, during its rule of the country from 1975 to 1979, immediately after the end of the Cambodian Civil War(1970–1975). The mass killings are widely regarded as part of a broad state-sponsored genocide (the Cambodian genocide).

Analysis of 20,000 mass grave sites by the DC-Cam Mapping Program and Yale University indicate at least 1,386,734 victims of execution. Estimates of the total number of deaths resulting from Khmer Rouge policies, including disease and starvation, range from 1.7 to 2.5 million out of a 1975 population of roughly 8 million. In 1979, Vietnam invaded Democratic Kampuchea and toppled the Khmer Rouge regime.

The Cambodian journalist Dith Pran coined the term "killing fields" after his escape from the regime.
