For those of you who know me on Twitter, I am concerned and passionate about climate change and what is going to happen to our planet if we do not reverse the trend of consumption, increase in green house gases, which most of us have heard as carbon dioxide, and reduce our waste and “carbon foot print”. That means how much each [...]

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, [...]

A quick post for me.
Wanted to see how it would feel like to be without the computer for 5 days, a week seemed too long, and also to do those tasks that I have been meaning to get done. Apart from 5 mins of e-mails that would be it. Planned to phone some long-distance friends, [...]

A mini-post for today.
Life generally feels so much better these days and I thought a few observations about this feeling would be worth posting this morning. Stress is something that has plagued me a lot in my life, that learning to handle it better did seem essential only a few weeks back. There is one thing [...]

One of my twitter best friends (Sally) enjoy reading short posts and this one is ideally for her.
Usually my posts are longer and deeper, wider and more expansive but this little note sums up my frustration tonight.
At present, I am fed up with technology and feeling bedraggled by it. In the last 30 mins, my dongle [...]

” Gold - said the the man to the many,
I want money and I’ll make it grow.
I will count my worth in gold-wealth untold,
I’ll sell my soul- Midas Man.”
“Sold -said the man to the many
Work for me, I’ll only steal your time
I will count my money out, there’s no doubt
I’ll sell my soul- Midas man.”
