Desiderata by Max EhrmanDESIDERATA by Max Ehrman….Go placidly amidst the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater or lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble, it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is, many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself, especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love for in the face of aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginations, many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline be gentle with yourself you are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have aright to be here and whether it is clear or not to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you perceive him to be and whatever your labours and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul with all it’s sham drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
I'm mostly into spiritual and holistic stuff, meditation and contemplation - analysing! Psychology, Self- development (healer, heal thyself) consciousness, awareness. I'm on a counselling diploma course - learning so much and loving it!

I'm drawn to understand more about some scientific stuff like string theory and cosmology interests me too, but my level of understanding is less than basic!
Easily go off on one on a good writing ramble, I enjoy journalling too.
I love animals, especially cats. Our family consists of 2 cats and 2 dogs, 2 hens, a duck and a goose called Gordon. I also like gardening, appreciating wildlife and nature and taking photos of flowers and animals.
I like singing and TEA!!! Tea is a must, we could all do with a cuppa couldn't we, nothing like it!
FIDDLING is a love of mine - tweaking and playing around in photoshop...

I'd like to meet:
Are you a Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime? Are you a Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime? People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person. When someone is in your life for a REASON. It is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. Sometimes they die. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. Your need has been answered, and now it is time to move on. When people come into your life for a SEASON it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season. LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people will not feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not in just some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically
liberates others.Marianne Williamson - Return to LoveClick on the Picture

Favourite Quotes: "The teacher if he is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of wisdom but leads you to the threshold of your own mind."
- Kahlil Gilbran…"We must become the change we want to see in the world" - Gandhi…."The only kind of learning which significantly influences behavior is self-discovered or self-appropriated learning - truth that has been assimilated in experience."
- Carl Rogers…"GOD, grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change Courage to change the things I can
and the Wisdom to know the difference" - By Reinhold Neibuh.
Lee my partner, my Mum, my first development teacher Sue who I will always feel much gratitude towards. She gave me good advice, talk to lots of different people, take what info you need and dismiss the rest.
