This beautiful planet we live on has a wonderful array of plants and creatures.  All interacting with each other on some level for their mutual benefit, each and every one has its role to play within the complex tapestry of life. 

The people of this planet are also an integral part of this tapestry, with all our similarities and differences; we are co creators, interacting with each other and the environment.

We often feel isolated from others, detached from our surroundings, feeling anxious and unsure when outside our comfort zone in unfamiliar places or amongst strangers.  The whole world seems to be getting into an even bigger mess with the way things are run by those that seem to have all the power.

The old proverb “divide and rule” is so profound.  With all the depressing news and information constantly streamlined towards us from all directions and sources it’s no wonder there is a tendency to curl into a ball like a hedgehog for protection.

Unfortunately when we are curled into a ball for protection we become isolated and are unable to see any of the positive and wonderful things around us.  It’s difficult to appreciate how different people and their cultures enhance our experience and how the beautiful plants, creatures and scenery create such a splendid environment.  It’s also difficult to see any avenues of change we can take to improve our lives let alone how we can effect change on the wider world.  

Please remember most major changes within society begin at grass root level, by individuals speaking and sharing their truth and inspiring others. 

If you would like to change your life and the world around you, please awaken your senses, heighten your awareness of your surroundings and appreciate all the little things that enrich your daily life. Acknowledge and enjoy all the amazing people, plants, creatures, and scenery around you and fill your heart with the glorious bounty and variety of this wonderful planet. 

Then as you walk your path you will glow from the joy in your heart, a shining example for all to see.  You will feel on top of the world and the people you meet will be uplifted by your vibrant energy.

By celebrating diversity you will be inspired and inspirational and you will enrich the colourful tapestry that is intricately woven by the people, plants and creatures of this beautiful planet.

Each and every one of us can make a difference.
