Basic needs

  Imagine a world where volunteers had their basic needs met, how many more people would and could volunteer? I have a why, but I need your help to get that idea heard by the people who can make that difference. I have volunteered for a few organisations over the years, which I have enjoyed while I have not been working and its been great it really has, I love giving back, however in that time I have also struggled and although you do get a love to shop voucher and you travel cost covered, would it not be nice to have some of your bills covered? I know what some people are thinking now, get a job? and yes if life where that simple some of us would do just that, but actually it isn't and some can't, so they volunteers, to help and give back. Would it not be great to have the option, so you do not have to struggle while you help someone else out. It is nice to get the colouring book or the pens that amount to £50.00 would it not be great to have that money to top up your electric

  Imagine a world where it could be possible to not only choose where you live but, also how you live and who with? That's what community-led housing is, Its the chance to choose all of that. The Greater Manchester community Led Housing Hub has been created with YOU in mind. The hub wanted to help people who want to build their own community from start to finish. I know what you think that sound like a lot like of hard work and yes it will be, but, it will also be worth it.  Picture it, you have formed a group of people who think like you, have the same life ambitions, not only for their lives but for their families too. How great would that be? The Hub can help you do that. How great will it be after the blood sweat and tear, because there will be many, I can't do this moment, but, then think about being sat down in a home that you have designed and built your self next to neighbours that you have chosen to live next too?. I can see you have differed off into that life of poss

Do we underestimate the benefits of exercise?

 Do we underestimate the benefits of exercising?  I think if you have never really exercised and it has not really been your thing. In some cases, some people have never really had to because they have always been naturally slim. It's possible to think it's those people who have met the love of their life gotten got married become comfortable started a family and before they knew it they have piled on the pounds. The other person would be the person who has always been that child that has battled with his or her weight. Whoever it is no one can ever deny that high you get from exercising. When you first start its hard the time does not go quick enough your always watching the clock having to stop for more breaks, or is that just me? maybe! Anyway here is what happens to me and what I experience when I have been exercising.  When I start I want to stop I a constantly looking in the mirror to see if my body has changed. It is true, I want Kim Ks body straight away. The high does

Paying it forward

Paying it forward Last year I was invited to the win conference and because I was not in the best place financially, I just did not go or maybe it just was not meant to be, as the universe says you are where you need to be in this world. This year I excepted the pay it forward and it was held online, which for me was good, I had the pleasure of joining in but from the comfort of my own home. When it started I actually thought ok here we go, just another conference. Well, that was an understatement, The conference started with a song and at that point, I felt this may be a little different. The next speaker that spoke made me feel that having a story that can help people is the most powerful thing on earth. Using your story was important why of helping others because this is how changes are made. The speaker was Baroness Beverly Hughs, everything about this women had grace and an air of elegance and it was not only a delight to listen to her speak I heard every word with integrity. I th

Right & left brain

  When we think about our brain we think about it as one brain, We never consider that we actually have two brains, which we do, the right side and the left side. Both bringing something different to the table. One side is weaker than the other due to not working it as often,  little like not excerising your musels for awhile they become weak. Very few people who operate with both side at the same time. The right side of the brain is seen as the more creative sensual side full of colour and tends to be a little more emotional and messy a little like a free spirit and likes to colour outside the lines. whereas the left side is a little more grey analytical factual, logical uses little emotion to make decisions.   So knowing this why is it that right-brain thinkers and left-brain thinkers do not work together to make decisions? How different would the world look if right-brain thinkers and left-brain thinkers had to work together as a requirement to make decisions and create thinks? Woul
