Foundations got an extremely bad press last year with the Clinton racket. Here’s a timely reminder that a handful of ethical people (tennis champion Roger Federer and family) can gather huge support for projects aimed at empowering underprivileged kids:

Well Here and Nowers...I Honor You All!

I could share another 'novel' worth of happenings since I have been slight here...now, the bottom line---
methinks volunteering world-wide is taking on a whole new life and is energizing higher changes as never before...
just regular folks doing it because they are simply prompted to...no strings attached...just selflessly helping
those in need wherever they are drawn to do so!
What a concept...entrainment beyond imagining : )
Imagine!!!

Well, if you look at the "Unrest in Mexico" thread, you'll see that RunningDeer posted a video of a whole lot of people "volunteering" to clean out a store. Very touching.

I notice this happens quite a lot in the USA too. When something goes awry, why, hundreds and hundreds of "volunteers" rush into town and set cars on fire, stores on fire, whatever. ....... This of course is so nice of them because it gives the homeless people warmth. Such compassion.

EDIT: Just being sarcastic.

Weird.
Foxie Loxie’s thread called, Unrest in Mexico.

…my son wrote me last night that in other parts of the country there has been looting, street blocking & general unrest due to a 25% rise in gas prices…

RunningDeer and eaglespirit,

In my nearly 5 years here you have been two of my favourite posters, your strength of light shines through. Strengthened by the wealth of your experience which apparently has taken you to some dark and challenging depths in your lives. Your generosity of spirit is warming to the soul, and infectious. I’m thankful you share, and that you exist on this earth at this time, among us.

Simply being your soulful, beautiful selves.

Love to all

M

P.S. I made you a little montage in general thanky-ness

Dearest Melinda,

Choked back tears
Lump in throat

Touched beyond words
Appreciation and thanks beyond description ♡

I've never done it with a squeaky toy.. that's pretty funny... this is a very common .. uhh. "behavior" (?) for horses.. They do it to our shoes, I've had them take my phone from me.. and toss their head around and fling it.. lol..

baby horses are pretty hilarious,, here's TanTan (one of the baby's on our property) playing with a ball:

Found this video beautiful, and relaxing. Perhaps... magical.

A glimpse into the world of a Norwegian family who have built a cob home inside a solar geodesic dome, for a sustainable life, on an island in the Arctic circle.

https://player.vimeo.com/video/151048885

Words (in the video) from the mother and father in the family...

Ingrid : “I think that if everyone fulfilled their dreams and did the things they were good at, the world would function wonderfully. I believe there’s an intelligent design behind everything. Everyone is supposed to do their part and what’s needed. I have devoted my life to permaculture. I want to show that it is possible to do whatever you want, even though no one has done it before. Also, I like to spread healing, freedom and joy, by following the same example in my own life.”

Benjamin : “It’s nice to relax here on the roof after two years of hard work. Being inside the house is relaxing. There are many who tell us that when they visit, they can feel a certain calmness. I feel much gratitude. Gratitude is a key to welcome more of what you love in life.”

Just gorgeous

P.S. to Paula – your response earlier, Post #50269, got me a little choked up myself. Thank you for replying so beautifully

While I have the time online because of recovery from my seizure accidents...I am going to post some things that do not seem to be of spiritual context but actually are fully, imho...Here and Now is my best option, PA Folks will find it.
You may agree with what Richard Wolff is presenting a little or alot...but nevertheless it is leading to solutions that are now grabbing the working masses attention, finally.
I feel this is taking on a very new life of it's own and is coming on strong now...it is one of the most important awareness energies that is about to catapult us into higher changes.
I suggest just grabbing what you can when you can of this...if you are already in tune...just listen to the last 15 or 20 minutes....these videos lead to much more info and what is occurring now in real time.
Love You : )
