Last week . . .

Unexpected surprises . . .

Times are tough at the moment.

So many of us are going through huge health and financial challenges.

Amidst it all, there is always so much to be thankful for, arriving just at the right moment :

🙏 An amazing order for 84 bottles of our popular Sweet Chilli with Lemon Grass & Ginger

🙏 A gift of loads of beetroot, Swiss chard and onion seedlings for the Gxarha Creche Let’s Grow Together Project

🙏 A hive inspection revealing ‘supers’ full of honey to be extracted next month

🙏 9 bunches of bananas, 4 ready to be harvested

🙏 The best surprise of all - a 7 day visit from my very special “ brother from another mother, ” and my sister in law.

Sometimes life surprises us with unexpected blessings that turn out to be exactly what we needed, even though we didn’t know it at the time.

Growing food for me is not just a hobby.

It is important to me for the following reasons :

1. Freshness guaranteed :- Who knows how long it has taken for store bought vegetables to get from the farm to retail outlets

2. My vegetables are chemical free :- no artificial fertilizers or harmful chemicals used at all

3. There is a huge difference in taste and flavour :- just try a homegrown tomato vs shop bought and taste for yourself

4. Far more nutrients than those that are commercially farmed

5. Saves money :- have you noticed how expensive food, especially fresh produce, is at the moment ?

6. Helps to contribute to food security :- with all the political unrest in the world at the moment and soaring petrol costs, the more you can grow yourself, the better

7. Improves my mental and physical health :- who needs a shrink or the gym when you can plant a garden 😊

Start your garden soon . . .
You won’t be sorry

“ Ha, ha, ha, it’s a beautiful Sunday.
This is my, my, my, beautiful day “

The perfect end to a productive day in the garden.
Necessary medicine and therapy to feed the soul and stretch the body.
Instant serotonin boost too.

More rain coming from the sounds of the thunder.
It’s been a very wet spring so far but with a hot, dry summer predicted, so thankful for every drop now to fill our rain tanks and our river at the bottom of the garden.

Time spent in the garden is never wasted !

With all the spring rains we have had, the garden is like a jungle!
My days are full :- planting, pruning, preparing new beds, harvesting, preserving, drying flowers and herbs for products, growing new plants from old plus 2 days a week are spent getting the Creche garden up and running.

‘ Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress.
Working hard for something we love is called passion ‘ Simon Sinek

At least the days are getting longer . . . More time to be outside in my happy place 😊

Winter sown “ birdseed “ sunflowers scattered around the garden in clumps bringing much joy and colour to the spring garden.

Such easy flowers to grow :- just buy a packet from the bird feed section and plant now for a colourful December garden.

Great for attracting bees and birds to the garden too.

September is also Sunflower month, an awareness campaign to support stem cell donors by registering to be a donor, donate to the fund or to spread the word.

🌈 The Action Spectrum - part 6 - Wisdom ( the colour Indigo )

Wisdom is not the accumulation of facts, knowledge and information.
Wisdom is seeing reality as it is.

Here’s a quick summary of what has been discussed in previous Action Spectrum posts.
Matter- including us - is ‘ made’ from waves of energy.
Not from an indivisible, solid particle ( atom)
There is no ‘smallest particle’ in existence.
All life - at the quantum level - is deeply inter- connected.

We appear to be separate at first glance / on the surface level, but we are all fundamentally inseparable from our shared source.
We’re like islands that appear separate above the ocean’s surface, but we are all linked to the same underwater land mass.
We are all just like leaves on one huge tree.
We’re like countless waves on the surface of one vast ocean of life.
This profound recognition/ re-membrance is wisdom.
Wise living mirrors our understanding of the true nature of life and each other.
Knowledge can easily ( and is very often ) used for selfish and negative, harmful, purposes. This can never be the case with wisdom, however.
Wisdom is always loving, kind and altruistic.
Lack of wisdom (ignorance) is the root cause of human suffering and misery.
Unlike pain, which is physical, suffering is mental / emotional, and is entirely preventable. Because we ( falsely) believe ourselves to be separate from others, we often act negatively (attack/defence)
All words, thoughts and actions that we place into the connected quantum electrical field of life, will ( at some point ) be “returned to sender” so to speak.
All actions have mirror - like consequences for every actor ( The law of cause and effect / The Golden Rule)

The five methods we’ve discussed previously ( generosity, moral ethics, patience, diligence and meditation) are all practices that can both create and sustain wisdom.
All of the rainbow practices are heart opening. They soften the brittle, conditioned barriers of separation between ‘us’ and ’them,’ between ‘me’ and ‘others’
They open the doorway to peace.
And, in so doing, they slowly and irreversibly dissolve human suffering.
