Take Ten - Kindness Counts

The United Nations have declared October 17th, each year, as an International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.  

I really believe that the characteristic of KINDNESS is what needs to be at the heart of our response to all aspects of poverty in our world.

Taken when I worked on the garbage dump in Guatemala City,
where many refugees risked daily exposure to toxic fumes
and biohazardous materials to sort through endless rubbish
for items that could be sold or re-cycled for cash.

Take Ten - World Mental Health Day

Life is full of stresses - some short-term, some longer-term and consequently more challenging. Some stress is outside of our control and yet other stress is self-inflicted.  We owe it to ourselves to work at building our personal resilience and I want to share some things I've learned through my own personal battles.
