How can we help?

It's a time of need at them moment for many people and as Holly and I watched the news that was unfolding on the TV a few days ago to witness Christchurch, a beautiful city which has been turned to ruin, and a site of devastation and destruction, it takes us to a place of being thankful. 

It did for me. 

When we arrived in Christchurch a little over a week ago, Holly said to me, that she didn't want to be a on a high floor as she feared that there would be another quake. We were put on the 13th floor of all things.  Sometimes knowing information can be really hard and you never know what you can do with it.  Who would listen to you?  I remember seeing 9/11 and Princess Diana's death… but who do you tell and who would listen.  Sadly you don't have specifics about when this information is going to come about.  Sometimes you see things a long time before anything happens, and then it could be only days before. 

Either way, it's not easy knowing things like this, and it certainly freaked Holly out when we were watching it on TV. 

What it took me to, is that we are having a lot of natural disasters which are hitting the world.  The floods, the cyclones in this part of the world where I am at the moment are only mentioning a few.  Yet what it brings is a togetherness and healing.  It brings people together of all walks of life to help.  They bond over the destruction.  Its sad but true. 

I watched how work mates helped each other from the rubble, and how strangers gave a helping hand to those in need.  How doctors came running and gathered supplies to help the injured from stores and cars, and how many people didn't go home until they knew that their friends were safe.  Something like this brings out the good in everyone, you rush to do what you can, and help out in the small ways. 

In a way it's healing but we can do without this.  Something I often question, I don't have all the answers and many think I do because I have a direct link to spirit, however, I wonder if the world was united in it's healing and we come together, would these disasters happen?  It is the universes way to get us to love and help each other? It's possible.  

So lets pretend that, that is the case, why not come together with love, and share this. Respect each others opinions and understand the pain that is caused.  Lets stop over reacting to petty issues and look at the bigger picture.  Be aware of what message we are projecting out and making it our reality.  Its something that I have talked about for so long, however listening to Holly and her making me aware of things, I've taken it to another level and changed my life again for the better. 

We can all do it.  We can all have an effect on everyone around us.  Those random acts of kindness we share, opening a door, being someone a coffee, helping a stranger. Just a smile can make someones day!  These are the things that we can all do to make a change and share the love in the world.  It's been a journey of this, and someone recently at the Melbourne show, gave me some 'Ripple cards' and they do just that. They have random acts of kindness on them, and messages just to share with others.  I loved the concept, and now in the wake of this earthquake it's become more apparent that we have to share the love and help others. 

So think about the love that you have, and what you want in your life.  Bring it in and project it to others, and who knows it could change the world!
