What is service

The Christchurch earthquake has shown us what the human spirit is all about especially when it comes to those acts of heroism, random acts of kindness and the gifts of 'service' to other's in somany diverse ways.

It reminds us that 'nobody can do everything but everyone can do something' - Anon.

It also made me think of Mother Teressa's words - 'I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world' (in this case - to Christchurch).

My quote of the day

"We walk in the foosteps of the ancestors, we are shaped in part by what we are taught, what we learn and by the choices we make throughout our lives.That's what makes each journey of life unique. When we live in the past we can't journey onwards but when we empower ourselves to let go, we can then look forward and so our true journey unfolds". Wanda Brittain

My quote of the day

"Aging to me is a constant letting go; of the daily realisation that we never stop learning; of appreciating stillness and of looking forward not back. As I age I realise that our greatest gifts our Love and Choice and that we are responsible for what happens in out lives not others."

My Quote of the Day

‘Keep Love in your heart

A life without it is like a sunless garden

when all the flowers are dead 

The consciousness of loving and being loved

brings a warmth and richness to life

that nothing else can bring.’

Oscar Wilde
