to find me on CS a horse, a mule, a sheep, a goat, and a wife

in that order.

Yesterday I was attacked in my garden by a rabid butterfly, and at first I thought it was minor, but not long after the savage attack life seemed to change.

Now I want a baby and a cute matching woman, so if anyone is interested let me know, the ideal age is past the nappy stage, so perhaps 35 years and older.

I am somewhat house trained and although a messy person I’m willing to learn to put things in the right places, IE plates in the kitchen not in my desk drawers, I promise to stop mooning my fridge too.

I also want a clean cloth, eating at my desk I have bread crumbs and soggy tomato splashes, I cleaned it up with a lettuce leaf, surely that’s not the best thing to do.

So if you can either be a baby over 35 or tell me how to get a cleaning cloth I would be happy to hear from you.

Our lives are made up of many beliefs
We learn most when we are small
Most of us don’t even realize
How much they affect us all

So many beliefs are ingrained in us
We don’t even realize they are there
Maybe hearing things often as a young child
Or sensing our parents despair

Although we don’t need to dwell on the past
Sometimes it’s helpful to find
Those negative beliefs that are holding us back
By being dominant in our sub-conscious mind

A belief is only a thought we keep thinking
So our beliefs are easy to change
We just change it to a positive thought
Which at first will feel a bit strange

By focusing on the positive thought
And repeating it often each day
Soon you will find your new belief is there
In what you do and in what you say

For instance, one of the most common beliefs
That many of us have taken on
Is the ‘I’m not good enough’ syndrome
It is a belief that is so strong

‘I am good enough just as I am right now’
This new belief will affect your life dramatically
By accepting yourself just as you are
The door opens to abundance, you will soon see

When you FEEL healthy and vital and alive and prosperous... you attract more of all those things.

Your life is right now. It's not later. It's not in that time of retirement. It's not when the lover gets here. It's not when you've moved into the new house. It's not when you get the better job. Your life is right now. It will always be right now. You might as well decide to start enjoying your life right now, because it's not ever going to get better than right now... until it gets better right now!

Aging allows us to drop the baggage. It is only through life experiences that our incredible power can be brought forward in all its glory.


All the dangers in our world are like a blessed wake up call.
They tell us to live life NOW...
not tomorrow,
not when the children grow up,
not when we retire...
but NOW.

As we open our hearts to others, we begin to discover the truth of our own inner beauty, inner strength and inner light.


As your awareness of the riches available to you in your everyday life grows, you are on the way to becoming the laughing Buddha. Life is joyous. Life is Light. Life is happy. You are awake at last.

Press Comment

“Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway is the best self-help book I’ve read. There are no right and wrong decisions, just opportunities for growth. Everyone should read this.”

Spend a few minutes reading this and you may find some clarity in lifes difficult situations. So have you ever heard the story of the African Farmer? Not many people have. Have a read..

There was once a successful African farmer who lived with his only son. He loved his son vey much and they enjoyed the fruits of their labour. The farmer was very successful as he produced the very best crops in the land which he sold to the highest bidder. The farmer was familiar with the power of though and intention since that was the reason for his success, so he taught his son all that he knew. The father wanted nothing more for his son to live a long healthy fulfilled life. So the farmer declared an affirmation that went something like this – “My sons life is a long healthy fulfilled life”. The farmer even made his son adopt the same affirmation. So the son would say every day I live a long healthy fulfilled life. One day when they are working in the field the horse the son was riding on was startled by a field mouse and knocked the son to the ground breaking the sons leg in two places. The father was devastated and cried out how could this tragedy have happened. But despite the appearance the father decided to dig in his heels and stay faithful to his affirmation so he continued to declare that my son lives a long healthy fulfilled life. The very next day a war broke out in the country the farmer was in and all the young men were required to be drafted into the war. When the officials came to draft the Farmer's son they saw his leg was broken making him unfit to participate in the war. The father immediately knew that the thing that he once called a tragedy was actually a blessing in disguise giving him exactly what he had asked.

The moral of the story?

If you ask the universe for a desire and something happens that appears to be negative don't curse it. It could actually be setting you up for what you asked for. Sometimes when Things Fall Apart they're actually Falling Together.

Whats your take?

.....or something like that. Let's face it folks, doesn't exactly seem like the general level of civility world wide is on the rapid increase. Many of us are quick to anger at the behaviors of others. Think about the many irritating examples. The driving of others. Friends' forgetfulness. The adage---"one always hurts the one one loves". Most interactions with teenage miscreants. My own blogs. People who don't use full sentences. And so on. Wish I had learned the following solid truth decades ago. If I really think about it honestly, almost every annoyng behavior I experience with other humans is something I've myself done to others----often more than once. OK. Got the helmet and flack vest on, so bombs away. Aa

The great mystery, savior, enlightener, solver of seeming dilemmas, contributer to the biosphere, ultimate recycler, and so much more. But for the few who chose her, she is so often really merely a permanent solution to temporary challenges. Glad simeone convinced me of this way back when. Of course, some have regrets. ;-----)) Aa.

You know exactly who you are, and so does everybody else. So enjoy.
