CHANGES IN HEART TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS

DR PAUL PEARSALL's THE  HEART'S CODE New findings about cellular memories and their role in the mind/heart/spirit connection by Dr Paul Pearsall - this book challenges one's mindset about life and what it entails. It seems as if his thesis is that the heart is a more powerful organ than the brain. I suggest that you get your own copy to read. The ISBN Number is: 0-7679-0095-2; the soft cover book was published during 1999.  Just...

One way of travelling in the 21st Century! I visited Plumtree in Zimbabwe the other day and traveled into the deep rural areas.

My companion explained that those people have never seen a white man. In the village of Plumtree a Zimbabwean approached me...

HOW TO ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS IN LIFE - ACCORDING TO ERIC KIM

SOAR LIKE A BIRD This is an interesting viewpoint by Eric Kim - more or less like Nike's JUST DO IT. I took this image in Rome last year [2016].

MY DAD'S CHAIR

THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S DAD'S CHAIR Here is a story of a young person remembering and honoring his dad - after his demise. It is worth your while to read this lovely story. Having said that, I am acutely and painfully aware that not all children feel the same about their fathers - rightly or wrongly. Some are arrested by their perceptions and cannot get away from it at all. While others reflect and come to the conclusion that their dad's were trying...
