What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.
Old-time readers here will recognise the Menorise label; those posts about lessons to be learned, inspired by greater minds and personalities. I was a bit stuck for posts this week so decided to trawl back to year one of the blog and this date of that year (2013)... and it turned out to be one of my early Menorise offerings.
On the Mumbai-Delhi Express...
We require the wisdom to see the present moment and the courage to live in it. Too often we are lamenting or lauding the past. Again, too often we get drawn to the 'what if', or 'if only' of the future.
Surely an element of planning is necessary. This cannot be denied. When planning is in place however, don't forget to enjoy the ride between 'thens'!
It was good for me to be reminded, so I share the reminder with you... and add a sprinkling of Love with the capital 'ell',
Thank you all for sticking with me, and I hope to see you all again throughout the next year.
PS - in case you did not see it, or as a reminder, I put out a call to action on the
Christmas Eve Post. I am going to keep placing the link. Please spread the word, and quickly. The Collection Pot is only open until January 13th. Thank you.

STOP PRESS!
Dear ones, Anais' quote advises us that we have to come out of our cocoons in order to move on in the world. We have to face realities. I am adding in this 'post script' at the last minute (literally just before scheduled time) because I think this is so very, very important.
One of my dear vlog pals has been a 'common hero'. I am sharing with you the second of his vids from his recent mercy mission to Ukraine. Yes, he loaded up his van with electrical aid (donated by he and his wife, some of their friends and other goodwill), got in touch with an organisation that is attending to such matters and they offered him assistance. This vid shows the Ukraine portion of the trip. Toward the end, John mentions a donations page and I will place the details below the video. Please, I know everyone would love for Christmas to be all Love and Light and not have to be faced with such as this... but exactly that - it is Christmas and we can all of us share a bit of Love and help to give Light.
