My Inspiration - Martin

Not talking about myself, but the Saint I am named after.Martin De Porres, the patron saint of Social Justice, the sick, the poor, and animals.These days, I admit I am not a very religious person , I'm more spiritual. But as a little boy I was brought up to revere this saint. He is also on»

Smiling in the rain and being patient (and wet)

Caught up on the podcasts on visualisation this week, only discovered them when a few people mentioned them in blogs.Coach mentioned that the reason people don't often meet their goals is a lack of patience, when things don't happen overnight, they give up, they become distant dreams.Patienc»

But a number have become f»

Day 79, the beginning towards the end... but no complaint

Just started Day 79, watched the vid, great message as always, listen to the audio - preparing the groundwork, the Reading -lighting the blue touch paper.Then I click on the Excercise, Puja, if you read this, you were right , I ain't seen nothing yet, and I get the feeling that over t»

The mind is everything

"The mind is everything.What you think you become"An Old Buddhist proverb, we have all seen variations of it, and how true.At my counselling course, one fellow student, just back from seing the Dalai Lama gave me some insight into Buddhism, meditation and the 5 piosons of Bu»

Persist and accumulate...at a steady pace

Had my 7th Guitar lesson last night, 3 more to go before the summer break. I felt I went a little backwards during the week, but if I measure from Day 1, I've come a long way (just like Tools), as have my 3 fellow pupils. 1) a carer and poetess, 2) painter and decorat»
