share even when it hurts

when do you share? when you have enough? only when there is too much? only when you don't need it? or.....

i believe that i can only share what i have. so when i want to experience my abundance, i give away. it is only in sharing that i experience i have something to share. for how do i know that i have the capability to share and i have the resources to share if i don't experience experiencing it?

hmmmm....kinda confusing? try it. it will dawn on you that you have what you have when you give it away. if you give away love, money, stuffs....it only means one thing. you have it. so don't be afraid to share what you have. i do believe that when you give something away it will come back a hundredfold. what goes around comes around.

go ahead. share. best thing to share is yourself.

5 Steps to Peace


Things you can choose now if changing your world, and the self-destructive direction in which it is moving, is what you wish to achieve.


1. You can choose to acknowledge that some of your old beliefs about God and about Life are no longer working.


2. You can choose to acknowledge that there is something you do not understand about God and about Life, the understanding of which will change everything.


3. You can choose to be willing for a new understanding of God and Life to now be brought forth, an understanding that could produce a new way of life on your planet.


4. You can choose to be courageous enough to explore and examine this new understanding, and, if it aligns with your inner truth and knowing, to enlarge your belief system to include it.


5. You can choose to live your lives as demonstrations of your highest and grandest beliefs, rather than as denials of them.

In times past...
We are called, God's Precious gifts.
Hope of our Motherland
Stewards and heirs of God’s creation.
Or are we really?
Look around you and tell us what you see?

We see people everyday.
We see people living in the streets, in dim and dangerous corners.
We see people (a family) cramped in a 4x4 patched house.
We see people work and toil in the dumpsites.
We see people (a blind person) guided by a child to beg.
We see people who have to steal to eat.
Or sniff rugby to kill the pangs of hunger.
We see the mentally ill girl abused by her step father.
We see elderly people displaced from their own homes and families.
We see people everyday.
Or do we really?

August-Sight Saving Month


Are you aware that every week about 100 Filipino children go blind? These are mostly due to poor nutrition, measles and premature birth which are all preventable if treated in time.

Do you care that more than 450,000 people in the Philippines are blind?
90% of them are poor and 62% of the cases are due to cataracts.

What do you do that a great majority of Filipinos particularly in the rural areas still have no access to eye clinics or ophthalmologists due to the high cost of medicines and very expensive devices?

Optometric Association of the Philippines identified key groups of population that need paramount attention, namely: the concerns of special children (children with mental retardation), vision screening of school children (particularly grade 1 and 2), low vision awareness and sight saving (preservation) campaign.

With Proclamation No. 40 declaring the month of August every year as "Sight Saving Month" we hope to emphasize to our people the importance of protecting and taking good care of our eyes and the need to seek immediate treatment for illnesses that affect it. The celebration is aimed at encouraging the public to be aware about the means of restoring lost eyesight, to increase the awareness of the Filipino people to common eye conditions that may eventually lead to blindness if left untreated.

Early detection and treatment could save a lot of people from losing their sight as well as from disability and poverty.

With the little things that we do we hope it will add up to the Global Elimination of Avoidable Blindness that by 2020 everyone is sighted and no one goes needlessly blind.
