Attention: The following piece of writing may not make any sense. I have so much rolling around in my mind. I like to express myself in the most natural form. The following piece may be academically incorrect, and include words that are not in the dictionary, but perhaps if you like the idea of reading something different, interesting or maybe inspiring (hopefully), then you may enjoy it. Go on, I dare you to carry on reading.

Knowing your deepest values (equality, freedom, honesty, curiosity, self development, or whatever they may be) is like a torch into your soul. When you understand your values and yourself better, more today than yesterday, you will be able to find ways to live your life in line with those values. Awareness is the key. Awareness can be scary though. Seeing so deep inside yourself can switch the light on to learning things about yourself you wish you never knew. Then again, without knowing, you are less likely to figure out what would create the most joy in your life. Understanding and encouraging growth through your values would also lead to benefiting the people around you. Feeling empowered, understood, loved, connected and valued are wonderful experiences and feelings that can encourage us to feel so much joy. Joy within ourselves can lead to joy in others, similar to the idea that laughing is somewhat infectious. You laugh, I laugh.

I love seeing people genuinely enjoying their lives, and that is what leads me to work so closely with people in the community.

Hang on though! You may think that your current life is not going well, and you may not be able to notice how your life can improve, no matter how deep you look inside. Does that sound like you right now? The natural ups and downs of life can seem like your internal roller coaster has flown way off the tracks. I have wondered many times, whether I am valuable as a person and in a group….. I am. We all are. We all have our gifts to offer the world. These gifts may not be seen, heard or felt in a way we may usually notice. In this case, it can be difficult to see our own value, or perhaps for others to see our value.

I believe we are all connected, in such a deep way that seeps into every corner of our being, not just as a single person, but in a sense of unity.
We are one, but perhaps we can be so clouded, with apparent knowledge, developed fears, and people that encourage our suffering, that we miss the peace and love that can provide us with what we need to keep going, in a loving way. Perhaps that cloudedness makes us miss our oneness connection, that makes us wake up in the morning and smile. Have you experienced that morning smile? Have you ever felt so excited about your life that you just know that everything will work out? I love that feeling! I remember travelling across Australia on my own, feeling free, independent, and carrying such a strong passion for life that I knew deep down, from my inner core, from the depths of my intuitive senses, that everything was going to be okay. When was the last time you felt like that? I love those moments, when I feel so intensely sure that everything will work out, that I will be able to get through any and every experience that comes my way, no matter how hard it is/seems. I have people around me who help me get through. I am independent but I see the benefit in connectivity. Without all the random and continued help, love and support from other people, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

As I watch my passion for bringing people together come to life, because of the people around me, I feel internally strong and empowered, to show people that they are valuable and that they can feel excited about their life too.
