The Old Boy and I went to a talk on Fairtrade last night and apart from a delicious chocolate fountain, that simply oozed fairtrade loveliness, I was amazed at the impact that buying said products can have on their communities.

To pay a farmer a fair days wage to support his family is but the merest tip of the iceberg.
Clean water, electricty, medical care and schools for their relatives and neighbours are also part of the package........

So how come we're not all buying ethical products ????
and doing our bit to make the world go round by simply buying a friendlier brand of tea or coffee or CHOCOLATE

Not only will you continue to collect Tesco or Nectar points, you'll be adding to your Karma credit as well, now that can't be bad.

I have always had a dreaded fear of ending my days by dying without dignity in a public place, but my terror has been added to by the thought that I may also be the subject of a reality show into the bargain.

I would be truly mortified to think that my claim to fame and opportunity to be seen on TV would be when I'm looking dishevelled and at my very worst not to mention in pain or mortal danger and to be humiliated further by the fact that I may have been the cause for my own foolhardy predicament or demise.

However the chap on the bike at the time is now thankfully recovering and apart from looking like a boxers glove, fortunately has amnesia and so the evidence of his foolishness for not looking before wizzing across the road has been wiped from his memory.

so I'm reading A New Earth - Awakening to your Life's Purpose by Eckhart Tolle, I'm lucky enough to be reading it with a small group of friends, so that once a fortnight we can bounce our ideas and thoughts about the book, off each other along the way.

The good thing about this book is that you can chart your progress with the support of an on-line accompanying syllabus at www.Oprah.com - go to the book club section and find a New Earth listed there. It's free to join.

So if you want to make real changes in your life, you have to start with yourself as 'you' are the only person you 'can' change................

Namaste

Do you ever wonder why we are compelled to do certain things at certain times and why we also decide to definately leave some stones unturned ?
Our intuition so often goes unheeded and then regretted when we did not listen.
