OneVoiceIfreedom
Having deleted this post accidentally last week, let’s have a another try now.
This blog is to announce some important changes, for me anyway, as to how my posts will continue to be written and organised. Approx six months ago, I set up a new blog OnevoiceIfreedom to highlight, research and write about my deep interests in human rights, [...]

Aisha

I consider myself to be emotionally tough when it comes to reading about horror, suffering, and injustice. Don’t get me wrong though, I can be moved to great emotion and feeling, yet have instilled in myself over the years of working in a caring profession, where I see tragedy, upset and suffering on a frequent basis, a harder [...]

Learning

The word learning will have many different meanings to people and how their own views, believes, perceptions and thoughts, when pondering upon its definition, will differ and perhaps extend to another word linked to learning, that being education. Education and learning for me, and to many other thinkers, philosophers, teachers and writers will be words viewed as a process entwined both together as well as separately. To be educated does not [...]

Dogs and also certain breeds of dogs are seen as a must have- all be it a temporary commodity to have, in Britain [...]

Why I love Flowers

I have loved flowers for most of my life.
Do you choose your path, or is it chosen for you?
I never thought in a million years that I would ever take up the art of floristry but it happened. After my daughter was born, I saw an advert in the local newspaper advertising, through Adult Education, [...]

The Field of Bricks

Sitting on a bus one afternoon, truddling through the minor village roads, I was reading a book. This book was being used for a course I have recently finished – which also explains my absence on here. Now you know there are times when you read something that the words hit you right on the nose, this [...]

Overcoming Fear

I have already written about my aim to learn to swim. The decision to stop writing each week an entry of progress was the right one, as I felt under too much pressure to perform. To be honest, the progress had been very slow and the biggest success was the ability to paddle around the [...]

Tibet:the fight goes on and we must help

 Received mail from an organisation called Avaaz (see Below) which I have signed up for information via e-mail.
We have seen the Chinese before trying to ask for freedom from oppression and the results have been brutally obvious for all to see. China has one of the worst human rights record in the world.  [...]
