Quote from Jim Rohn

"There lies within each person a huge reservoir of untapped potential for achievement, success, happiness, health and greater prosperity. It's like an ocean unsailed, a new continent unexplored, a world of possibilities waiting to be released and channelled toward some great good." - Jim Rohn

LINDA SCHAFF SCAM - Google Cash Kits

DON'T FALL FOR THIS SCAM......

I read this link and thought it must be genuine...

Nice picture of her and her family.
How she worked at different companies (whose names I recognised)as being in South Africa and she earned peanuts. They found themselves in debt and she managed to pay it off using this kit.

Since I have made some money selling ads on Google Adware I was taken in.....

DON'T YOU ALSO BE TAKEN IN....

IF YOU PAY THE $1.00 HANDLING FEE YOU WILL KICK YOURSELF - YOU WONT GET AN E-BOOK AND YOU WILL FIND YOUR CREDIT CARD CHARGED AN AMOUNT OF $47.00 AND YOU ARE LOCKED INTO A MONTHLY COST OF SOMETHING IN THE REGION OF ABOUT $72.00 :-(

Are Dreams 'Whisperings of the Soul' ?

Click the link above for a preview of the DVD.

I experienced some very profound dreams recently, which started me on a quest to try to see if I could find meaning to them. They were too real to ignore and never before have I felt that I 'was the dream'. It was scary but left me realizing I needed to work through them.

Soothing music, lovely settings and mingled with some really thought provoking quotes that make good food for thought.

South African Artists : Johannes Phokela

Some weeks back I was invited along with some friends to view the work of the internationally acclaimed Soweto-born artist, Johannes Phokela, which was being exhibited at the Standard Bank Art Gallery in Johannesburg.

I was blown away by the grandeur of his work. I'm not easily moved by paintings, but this exhibition was exceptional. Not only the splendor of his work but the way it was exhibited put me in absolute awe of his art.

My preference in the past was for soft water colours, but these were Big and Bold Oil paintings. Johannes has re-worked images of the old Dutch Masters incredibly well, allowing his sense of humor to creep in at times. His paintings imitating the Blue Delft Tiles are fabulous - in fact his work is too incredible for words!

If you ever have the opportunity to see his work, don't miss it !

12 Keys to Spiritual Activism

Again, soothing music set to some very profound statements.

Spiritual Activism seeks to raise up others, not make them dependent and compassion flows from the understanding of the connectivity of all living things and needs to be applied with wisdom.

"The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness of the interdependence of all these living beings , which are all part of one another and all involved in one another." - Thomas Merton

Learn to choose your causes carefully.
Learn to act and not re-act.
Apply synergy and teamwork to accomplish goals.

"Integrity is doing the right thing even if no one is watching." - Unknown

"An eye for an eye make the whole world blind" - Mahatma Ghandi

Learn to cultivate Metta (The act of loving-kindness) in your heart.

Faith is taking the first step without seeing the staircase.

ANC holds "Mock Funeral"

The votes have not yet been counted and members of the ANC Party this evening carried caskets bearing the logos of the opposition party through the streets of the CBD of Johannesburg earlier this evening, in a mock funeral procession.

The crowd sang struggle songs and blew their vuvuzelas. Jacob Zuma has not yet been proclaimed president but this is how his followers behave. Now if any of the opposition parties had dared to behave in such a manner, there would be acrimonious mutterings from the ANC to put it mildly!

This just goes to show how low the ANC and their supporters can go. How childish and pathetic the supporters are, not to mention the leaders that condone this behaviour!

I mourn for this country that I call 'my home'.....

Umshini Wami ! ....... I want to runi wayi....!


Recent photos and articles on Jacob Zuma’s “love of dressing and dancing like a Zulu Warrior” have given me the opportunity to give some thought to his macabre dance routine.

Every time I see this man on television, he has a microphone, is dancing and singing his now famous campaign song, which translated from Zulu to English means “Bring me my Machine Gun” – Umshini Wami!

Click Title for video.


Now, I don’t know about you, but if your new President to-be was heard calling for his machine gun, what would YOU make of it???

For my part, I have to ask why he keeps on singing this song that is to me so obviously still fixed in the days of "the struggle".

Some years back, there was a call for “One Settler – One Bullet” made by the Pan African Congress. Apparently, their intent was to drive the whites into the sea! The PAC was formed by members of the ANC who thought the Party was too white and not violent enough!

Some years back, Peter Mokaba coined the phrase “Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer”. He caused quite a stir at the time. I met him once, body guards, et al, and there was something about him that really disturbed me.

Now it is Jacob who Zuma is visiting these very Boers and Farmers (the same Settlers who had a bullet with their name on it). These very farmers are now, ,according to Zuma, the only true white South Africans – the Afrikaners who not so long ago they wanted to kill. Now because he is looking for votes, Zuma has the audacity to try to gain their vote and confidence. I know what I would tell him to do! #$@$#@$!

These are the very same settlers who were seen in the past to have ‘stolen their land’, never mind the fact that they were actually providing basic foodstuffs for the majority !

Every time I see Zuma doing his dance I have a panic attack. I actually now cannot bear to see him on TV any more. When I drive on the M1 all I see are these huge pictures of his face, the Fear of God strikes me!

Although I have lived in SA for 55 years and have a green bar-coded ID book and consider myself to be a South African Patriot, I am excluded from voting, despite my being able to vote in 1994. I can only presume that because I am white, it would be preferable to keep the likes of me from voting because I definitely won’t be voting ANC.

I would like to be an ostrich now and stick my head in the sand for the next week or so. I will start digging just in case I need to make a quick exit, and maybe I will burn in hell anyway, but that would be preferable to living in the hell on earth that I foresee with a President who has a cloud of corruption hanging over his head, even tho they have been dismissed now! Even that action smacks of corruption.

However, I am hoping that sensibility will prevail and that a non-violent party will be elected who will lead us into the Light.! Then I will lift my head from the sand and party and rejoice with them.
