The story of loss

My father used to say that the funeral is for the living.
I interpreted that the funeral is a reminder of our little time we have on this planet and the need for us to rejoice thinking about what we have shared with the person we lost and also look to the future and think about how we are going to transform.
We never lose the people we love. The love we have for them remains. Their presence is conditional because of the forces at play in this world but the love is unconditional.

I forgot this when my dad lost his memory. I had deep sorrow and I was so indecisive as to how I will evolve. THe comfort having him into my life was a cocoon from which I did not want to come out of.
God will teach you to grow sooner or later, so let it go and LOVE LIFE whilst it lasts.

Missminimalist , Thank you

I was hooked to missminimalist blogs in the past four days, reading approximately 16 pages of individuals testimonies on how they started and enjoyed their minimalist journey. It opened my eyes on the endless minimalist lifestyles that any of us can implement. I admire the traveller, the spiritualist, the true materialist (as opposed to consumerist), the mindful, the artist, the mum, the dad, the designer who with intention choose to keep the things that add value to his/her life and get rid of the frivolous. Beyond just getting rid of things, there is not participating to our current wasteful society, it is recognising that we are all equal regardless of what we own and finally it is embracing freedom. It is why I love it. I encourage you to have a read/rid, I hope it will inspire you:  http://www.missminimalist.com/

"What does climate justice mean to you?"my response

  For   #biggreenweek   #climatejusticeconversation   "What does climate justice mean to you?" asked Climate Actio Leicester Leicestershire - Why not have a conversation with somebody? About Climate Justice and what it means for me. More often than not, when I discuss or read about what Climate Justice means: concerns about the impacts of climate change in developing countries, historical, colonial, racist and economic legacies and the need for retribution are mentioned. From this standpoint, Climate Justice is linked to international development and the human rights agenda. I can often feel powerless when the global perspective is promoted. What is it that I can truly do? So I ask myself: What is Climate Justice in the UK? What is Climate Justice for the communities I am most connected to? inc. Black British working-class communities as well as women, men and children who are dealing with the impacts of domestic and sexual violence Considering their existing vulnera...
