![]() What is Spiritual Leadership?
By Elsabe Smit We live in a time where leadership is critical. We all know by now that political leadership got us where we are, and as a result everything around us are breaking or being derailed. Sadly, religious leadership has been absent since the beginning of this massive change for humanity. Economic leadership seems to have taken a backseat in many countries. Moral leadership is a possible way out of this quagmire, but whose morals do we accept? We know what we do not want, but .............. Read more ![]() Silence in a Deafening Storm
by Vanessa Anderson It is ok to be quiet. In those moments when you are coping and the surviving is taking all of your energy. It is ok to be quiet. I came to learn the phrase ‘to hold the space open” before I understood it. I presume this is the irony of the graduated.

Poem by Michael Edward Bradford High above the maddening crowds, the trapeze artist swings Holding tightly onto his precarious perch, his mundane lifeline, Feeling the solidity, knowing he is safe and secure, at least for now, And, at the same time, knowing that soon he will have to let go. His mind wants to know exactly what.............. Read more ![]() The Universe Answers
Written by Deborah Jordaan Good day to our loyal readers. Today I`m writing on the subject of, “ What we send out in thought, Manifests. “ The universe is always listening and answering us in ways we might not know or see but as I call it – Signs along the way are there, we just need to observe. Asking the universe for things to happen in our lives is not bad at all but as with everything in life it comes with consequences. Here`s a scenario. Lilly was always looking for love but never found what she was looking for ............ Read more ... ![]() I AM

Written by Elsabe Smit I have been reading up on chi and being aware of the life force and how we manage our awareness of that life force.
