No Seriously, Let’s Get This Together
By Vanessa Anderson I recently realised or more aptly recognised a trait that had been a particular habit of mine. The habit of “getting something over with”, “getting through it”, surviving the moment, walking through the flames and appearing on the other side unscathed, unharmed and generally still in one piece. It need not necessarily have applied to something nasty or uncomfortable. No. It could just have easily applied to something that was supposed to bring me joy, to be fun, and even something that I enjoyed doing.............. Continue Reading 
Googly Eyes
Children story written by Grazia Martienssen Naughty little bear was a bear with big round eyes that belonged to Cindy. He lived in the playroom with the other toys and got up to all kinds of mischief. He would hang on the curtains and swing, ride on the dogs back, jump on the bed, and do so many naughty things, I can’t even remember them all. One night he decided to .......

Out The Mouths of Babes
Written by Deborah Jordaan Today I`m going to be talking about two beautiful little souls that thrive no matter what life throws at them and the aspirations they have for their future selves. We should listen to the things children say as they are still so innocent until they meet wrong humans and make wrong decisions. These two boys live in a council flat community and yet they thrive. To them it`s not about where they live it`s about where they will be headed as they grow older. They are intelligent and .............. continue reading 
Words Unspoken
Poem by Neshni Naidoo Words unspoken on the tip of my tongue But the opportunity's lost, the moment is gone Words hastily in silence retreat To regroup, for the right moment entreat But the right moment never comes And the words, restless they become Mind and body come undone And words disjointed .................

The Great Master
Poem by Michael Edward Bradford Over 2,000 years ago a great master walked this earth. A great master who taught about love and peace and beauty He also taught about forgiveness and compassion and the law of grace, About understanding and bringing people home to themselves and to God. He was a shepherd who gently and lovingly watched over his flock, Guiding them to the greenest pastures, to the sweetest waterholes. He knew each by their individual identities, And by their individual strengths and weaknesses. Yet he loved ............ Continue Reading 
A Fictitious Love Story
Written by Olivia Britz I see you reaching out to me, but you are reaching out from a very far place and I am not sure I can come back. You see, what has happened is that I have died. It seems ludicrous to think that some-one is dead when you see them alive and you KNOW that there is a person in there who is capable of life and love and joy and excitement and rage and upset and anger, because even the latter are not negative feelings, they are feelings of energy and hope, yes because when we are angry and upset and raging, we have ........

How to Change
Part 2: Learn to cope with living in Utopia Written by Elsabe Smit As I indicated in part 1 of this article, I had heard the astounding argument from a colleague about me “being resistant to change”. Are you aware of GESARA? If not, ignore the mainstream media and do your research. I will give you just three indications of how GESARA will change our lives in the not-too-distant future - no matter which country you live in. Any bank loan you have will be forgiven overnight - you will no longer ........ Continue Reading 
Our Behaviour
Written by Ada Den Hollander The first aspect of our behaviour in this post has to do with turning a blind eye which I derive mainly from an interesting book I read last week entitled: Wilful Blindness. Written by researcher and businesswoman Margaret Heffernan. The book was first published in 2011 and has been updated and reprinted several times. The book is about how we tend to look away if a certain situation doesn’t feel right to us, .......... Continue Reading

(Extracts from a self-published book) Written by Nina Ganci Italy (1930 – 1940): November month is winter in Europe; our Leonardo started his life in Italy, on the island, Sicily, in a little village, Castellammare del Golfo. Locally, the Ganci family celebrated the birth of the second son, Leonardo Ganci, the hero of this story.

Autumn was drawing to a close as winter started making itself felt. Looks like it will be a cold winter thinks Antonino, as he unpacked his cart, alongside the olive oil ........... Continue Reading

Paul is living on the same property as he`s wife as they cannot get a divorce because they don`t want to lose the property. They live separate lives but for some reason only ........

The Magic Blanket
written by Grazia Martienssen Ben had a magic blanket on his bed, and whenever he wished to travel to magical places, he would sit on it, close his eyes, and say, “I wish I was under the ocean” or, “I wish I was in fairyland”. The blanket would miraculously fly wherever he wanted to go. One day the blanket flew to the ocean where he rode on a dolphin’s back. They took him underwater where they showed him all the colourful ............ Continue Reading 
The Worth of Truth
BY Olivia Britz To all of you out there, subtle and successful addiction is hurtful every day….to that first glass of wine or anything for that matter which becomes your best friend and you know…nothing is its equivalent. Nothing fits the puzzle like that glass of wine, then two of three and more and as you get drunk well you become safe. Then .......... Continue Reading 
Doubt Erased…
Poem by Ada Den Hollander ‘Did you take it?’, I ask ‘Of course, a few days ago’, you say ‘How do you feel?’, me ‘Muscles stiff, my left arm a bit sore’, you ‘It’s risky, some say’, me ‘Not at all, others say’, you ‘You believe them?’, me ‘Yes, I do’, you ‘Why would I do it?’, me..................

To All the Undealtwith
Written by Vanessa Anderson I am a spiritual being, a soul entity having a human experience. We are all spiritual beings existing in a physical world. A world that does not always ‘fit’ right, that makes us extremely uncomfortable and it starts with the question; why are we here? Truly, why are we here? Then, why is it so hard? Yet when we are asked, “How are you? “; “how are you doing?’ Are you okay?” – Our ‘go to’ response is; “I’m fine”. But we are often NOT ok, we are sometimes anything but, ok. Even on a good day there are hundreds of triggers that lead to – ‘not ok’ but we are just so accustomed…. programmed to move on, subvert, push down and get on ............. Continue Reading

Part 1: Rely on figures of authority at your peril Written by Elsabe Smit (Psychic Reader & Healer) It is now a year after this global circus has kicked off. Many people still believe and are waiting to “get back to normal”, while many other people by now understand that the world will never be the same again. There is a lot of insecurity about how the future will look and what we can expect and not expect. Our children have ............ Continue Reading |

Grazia Martienssen, shares her memories as a child and her personal journey with us as she develops awareness
Vanessa Anderson has always loved words but like many artists, the vision and the results can clash, recently she has learnt to forgive those indiscretions and just write - because hiding in the message may be a reader desperate for just those words. Sometimes the writer is the paintbrush, not the artist.
