Love and laughter with Uncle Bob Randall

Sharing love and laughter with Elder Uncle Bob Randall.

As the first rays of the morning sun light up ULURU,  the heart of Australia, Bob speaks softly about LOVE for all BEINGS.

Despite being separated from his beloved family at a tender age, "re-educated"by the White man's ways, Bob speaks of LOVE and FORGIVENESS and the value of the traditional ways.

His voice is rich with the songs of his life, his heart tender and his laughter as innocent as any child's.

What a privilege to welcome the dawn with him and his beloved.

Thank you Uncle Bob and Barbara for the the love and laughter.  

Getting grounded

Some of the women from my Alice Springs Women's retreat enjoy rest and relaxation in the healing river sands.

Feeling the Earth, resting on her and letting her support you, is a powerful form of rejuvenation.

I wonder if some of the strange diseases of this century aren't a result of us being so DIS- CONNECTED from the healing magnetic forces of the planet we are living on.

High rise buildings, super highways, concrete etc blocking the Earth's energy.

We need to take every opportunity to touch the Earth and get grounded.

Angelina Jolie undergoes double mastectomy

Is this the latest form of public female mutilation? 

Do you think that if the genetic odds were the same for other forms of cancer: liver, brain etc, those organs would be amputated?

Could this public mutilation of the symbols of womanhood be a further act of the masculinisation of women by popular American media and by Western science. 

What was she thinking...really? (and yes I do know her aunt died of breast cancer shortly after.)

The mother would hold you.”Uncle Bob Randall was taken from his mother at seven and sent to a mission a thousand miles away.266102www.sim...

Imagine if you measured your life in terms of tree stages:

TIMING

I have grown to respect TIMING. Forcing things to happen may give a momentary feeling of success but when the TIMING is RIGHT the outcomes are solid, grounded and bountiful.

So imagine how sweet it was, on the last day of my women's retreat in ULURU to see that
LIVING NOW had just published this article. 

That's what I call Nice timing...  ENJOY

Kids and body image

I sooooo enjoyed speaking with these primary school kids about body image. They called me from Melbourne when I first arrived in Alice this month. Check out the interview it starts at 23:49. : ) Click on this link...

The interview was made even more interesting by the questions from the boy in the group about boys' body image issues.
