Acknowledge someone today by simply smiling at them! :-)

SHERO on Humanity: 

Everybody needs encouragement. Whether a small child who needs to know they are loved or an employee that needs to hear that their work and contribution matters. A word of kindness, a lending hand, words that will inspire and propel somebody else forward. By helping someone you are also helping yourself... making someone feel good automatically makes you feel good. It's called Serotonin. You never know how your constructive whisper, your loving words, your tender smile will transform someone else. You may not be around to see it but know that it will impact them, their community and who knows maybe society! (Below is one of my favorite pics with my girlfriends daughter... I hope I said something loving to her that may have made a difference in her life.. maybe ;-)

International Women's Day

SHERO on Humanity:

I thought today I would share a beautiful picture provided by my friend Masha Tikhonova.  She is an incredible artist and in honour of Women's day has painted the picture below with the following caption posted on Facebook.

"From the bottom, top and inside of my heart I wish all ladies a very happy Women's Day! Let your heart to blossom in joy, love and happiness!"

Couldn't have said it better myself.

When you hear singing... DANCE!

SHERO on Humanity: 

One of my favourite books (Made into a movie starring one of my favourite actors Gregory Peck) is 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. What makes this book and movie profound was the fact that it addressed the challenges facing the times during which it was written. Ms. Nelle Harper Lee wrote it in 1960. And here we are today... Black vs white has changed to Christian vs Muslim, Gay vs Straight and the divisions regretfully continue... In the movie Atticus Finch said 'It is a sin to kill a Mockingbird because all that it wants to do is sing its heart out for us'... As Humans Being aren't we all Mockingbirds? Is it not our endeavour to sing our hearts out, enjoy life, share our dreams, goals, differences, ideas, creations together with each other? When did it become ok to differentiate between and put a price tag on each other...Don't kill a Mockingbird... dance when it sings!
