HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017
MY WISH FOR YOU-
IS THAT YOU WILL KNOW LOVE, LOVE OF SELF MOST OF ALL.
I WISH YOU HAPPINESS, PERFECT HEALTH, PROSPERITY AND ABUNDANCE.
MY WISH FOR US IS THAT WE WILL-
STOP FOR A WHILE TO SMELL THE SWEETNESS OF NATURE
AND SPEND THE TIME TO TASTE AND SAVOUR GOOD FOOD
LET’S TALK LESS AND LISTEN EVEN TO THE SILENCE
TO SEE NOT ONLY WITH OUR EYES BUT WITH TRUE HEARTS
AND REACH OUT EVERY DAY TO TOUCH SOMEONE, ANYONE….

Happy Holidays
It does not matter whether you believe in Christmas or not.
This is a time of year when there is a worldwide movement focused on giving, loving, sharing, uniting.
It is not just about family, there are a lot of people reaching out to the homeless, the incarcerated, the children in institutions/Homes, those on the street, Service personnel away on duty, the elderly living alone, families in need.
This energy is so strong, but let us all join and do our part to make it even greater, so great it will be strong enough to create something wonderful.
Shattered glasses wishes for you a Happy Holiday, a Merry Christmas, a Peaceful Season.

THE INTRUDER
(A tribute to my dear friend)
A beautiful flower in a garden grows, its colours so brilliant and bright
Its petals delicate and unique, to behold is a wonderful sight
And it’s scent, so sweet and fragrant too
Mingled with natures drops of dew
Among the myriad flowers and plants around
Your grace and beauty was renowned
I watched that flower as it blossomed and grew
And with every day that I watched I knew
That this wonder I had the pleasure to behold
Was a treasure more precious than silver than gold
To know that I get to witness the wonder of you
Is more than an honour it’s a dream come true
Then when that stranger passed your way
Oh, it was a sad and grey and gloomy day
I saw as it held your petal in its grasp
Trying to steal your beauty, and from the pain you gasped
‘Intruder you have gone too far’ I said, do you know what you have done?
You’ve touched the giver of Life of Love, your touch has dimmed the sun
The intruder was given a name, but an enigma it remains
It was talked about and plans were made, in various campaigns
Standing tall and shining brighter, the other flowers in fear,
Hoped their glow would stop the intruder, from ever coming near
But one by one it stole their beauty, before some could even bloom
Touched by the intruder, the givers of life, of love, lost their perfume
Then the earth rose up, shaking and in a rage
Like iron it crushed the intruder as it rampaged
The Waters came bursting and the cleansing began
Washing the poison that came from that hand
Then strong and tall your life returned to you
Shimmering and shining your beauty anew
Stripped of a name so no power remained
The intruder was defeated bound and chained
No longer would the flowers be touched and stained
Not by some illusion that couldn’t be explained
There were no whispers its name would never be said
The intruder that once stole beauty was now dead

I WILL
Today I will be kind and judgement free
Today there will be beauty in all I see
Today I will hug myself and love me for a while
Today I will remind myself of anything that makes me smile
Today I will laugh at every chance I find
Today I will be of a grateful heart and a sound mind
Today I will find the beauty in everything and everyone
Today I will see no good, bad, right no wrong
Today I will see the challenges in my life and let them go
Today I will see the thoughts of lack but I will say no
Today I will focus on thoughts of joy and prosperity
Today I will give thanks for good health and clarity
Today I will recognise my strengths and embrace them all
Today I will pick a task, and humbly answer to my call
Today I will reach out and serve someone in need
Today I will find courage, in everything I will succeed
Today I will tell someone in pain that I love them
Today I will pledge to live and to do it all again
