May you have a safe and peaceful Christmas filled with laughter and joy )

What a magnificent creature the water dragon is. And I was lucky enough to have one in my pool the other day. I had to scoop him out because I was worried the salt water and chlorine would hurt him. Check him out…

Whenever I need cheering up I listen to this great little ditty. It is by the Barnkickers and is called One Less Tear. The tune is totally infectious.

Take a listen and leave a comment at the bottom if you love it!

Thanks to my friend Mookx for reminding me of this brilliant clip…

Enjoy )

My friend David Frey has started a new website that I have been sharing with you by posting some of the videos he has shared, but now I want to share his actual website with you. It is a very uplifting and poignant experience going throiugh the stories on there.

Juan Mann’s mission is to spread love, encouragement and inspiration through the act of a simple hug.

In this video you see Juan in Sydney wearing a sign that says, “Free Hugs.” At first people are not sure what to make of it, but in time, he attracts a huge following to the point where he gets banned by the local police.

After collecting thousands of signatures in a petition to restore his “Free Hugs” campaign, he is allowed to express his appreciation and
caring through this wonderful, simple gesture.

He rose to worldwide fame through this video showing that indeed, “One Man” can change the world.

Watch this video…

This 8 minute video documents the work of Dave Deppner and Trees for the Future. Communities around the world turn to Trees for the Future for technical knowledge and planting materials so that they can bring degraded lands and struggling farmlands back to sustainable productivity. Since 1988, Trees for the Future (TFTF) has helped thousands of communities in Central America, Africa, and Asia improve their livelihoods and their environment by planting nearly 50 million trees in agroforestry and reforestation projects. Each year these trees remove over one million tons of CO2 from the atmosphere. http://www.plant-trees.org
