Make Today Compliment Wednesday…


I’d like to leave you with a little lesson for the day… or maybe you could see it as a favour…
Today… go out there and give someone a compliment… Especially for those of you who don’t usually hand out compliments…
Here’s a little extra task…
Compliment someone who is having a busy or rough week…
Maybe you haven’t realised it – but your few words could make that persons day…

Mrs Eastwood and Mariska


“I visited a lady who had a strange problem.
She said at night when she sat down to go into her email on her computer she had a strange feeling of something on her lap. She said this feeling goes with a small hand touching her. She asked that I visit her in the evening to see what this could possibly be.
I found a two year old child walking around the study.
I spoke to the little girl and asked her a few questions. She said her name is Mariska. She kept calling "Otto"
I was wondering if that was her surname.
When I told the lady that's what I heard her say. She said Otto is her dog’s name.
I lifted the little girl to where she should be in spirit and the lady never had the feeling again but what was amazing is that her husband was a doctor and when his wife shared her story with him, he said he knows who the child is. He said a few weeks earlier he had done an autopsy on a little girl of two who had drowned.
The mother of Mariska was raped then stabbed to death; her brother was stabbed to death too. She was thrown in the pool by 3 escaped convicts that Mariska’s father arrested - he was a policeman. He found all 3 shot; all 3 dead and then shot himself on steps of the police station.
Till next week”

Paddy


I’m not ready for the hectic week ahead… so here’s silly old Paddy for you this Monday morning. I hope that you all have a super week…Smile
An old Irish farmer's dog goes missing and he's inconsolable. His wife says "Why don't you put an advert in the paper?" He does, but two weeks later the dog is still missing. "What did you put in the paper?" his wife asks. "Here boy" he replies. (think I’ll use this as my title to the next missing doggy pic…Smile with tongue out)  
Paddy goes to the vet with his goldfish. "I think it's got epilepsy" he tells the vet. Vet takes a look and says "It seems calm enough to me". Paddy says, "I haven't taken it out of the bowl yet".  
Paddy spies a letter lying on his doormat. It says on the envelope "DO NOT BEND ". Paddy spends the next 2 hours trying to figure out how to pick the bloody thing up.  
Paddy shouts frantically into the phone "My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart!"
"Is this her first child?" asks the Doctor.
"No", shouts Paddy, "this is her husband!"  

Paddy was driving home, drunk as a skunk, suddenly he has to swerve to avoid a tree, then another, then another. A cop car pulls him over as he veers about all over the road. Paddy tells the cop about all the trees in the road. Cop says "For god’s sake Paddy, that's your air freshener swinging about!"  
Paddy's in jail. Guard looks in his cell and sees him hanging by his feet. "What the hell you doing?" he asks.
"Hanging myself" Paddy replies.
"It should be around your neck" says the Guard.
"I know" says Paddy "but I couldn't breathe".  

An answer I can understand.
An American tourist asks an Irishman: "Why do Scuba divers always fall backwards off their boats?" To which the Irishman replies: "If they fell forwards, they'd still be in the bloody boat."

Finally Friday!


its-friday

Its been a hectic week so I thought it was best to end it on a light note… Have a super weekend!
'n Klein seuntjie speel in die sitkamer met sy treinstel. Sy Ma is in die kombuis doenig.

Sy hoor die klein seuntjie: "Toet-toooeeet, stasie nommer 56, almal wat wil af fok, fok af en almal wat wil opfok, fokop."

Sy Ma kry amper 'n hartaanval,... maar besluit sy los hom. So rukkie laterhoor sy hom weer: "Toet-tooeeet, stasie nommer 101, almal wat wil af donner, donner af en almal wat wil op donner, donner op."

Sy gryp hom, slaat sy gat aan die brand en stuur hom kamer toe. Sy sĂȘ hy kan uitkom as hy jammer is. So rukkie later kom hy snikkend uit sy kamer uit en gaan speel verder.

Toet-tooeet, stasie nommer 34, almal wat wil af klim, klim af en almal wat wil op klim, klim op en die van julle wat wil weet hoekom is die fkn trein laat, vra die teef in die kombuis =))

Update To Yesterday’s Disgusting Advert…


So yesterday was quite a day in the world of those of us who care about animals…
We stood up to a couple of Goliaths and made them see that what they had done was cruel and insensitive.
Read about it here…
Disgusted
255789_160753167324814_100001703948222_372766_1217461_n 
Eventually apologies began to surface as well as little donations towards animal welfare.
An interview aired on 702 which actually made me really angry. The chat was very one-sided and it seemed that the only callers that were aired were those trashing the work of animal activist’s country wide. They were not educated about the real issue at hand…
Then Andy Rice named us his BIG ZERO’s – he said that we “the complainers” had no sense of humour. He also mentioned that there were only 20 or 30 of us complaining…
Go and look yourself at YOU magazine and SHOE City’s Facebook pages and you tell me if only 20 or 30 people were complaining…
I honestly believe that they should have allowed an activist to speak and explain what the meaning of the ad actually was…
For children like my son (aged 10) in his own words the advert is disgusting and sick. He could not understand why cats would and should be run over…
The real issue here is crush video’s… The wording used in the ad directly relate to these disgusting acts. Crushing as described by the founder of stopcrush.org is “STOMPING on ANIMALS for the SEXUAL GRATIFICATION of the viewer.”
Shoe City’s profile picture is this…
162011_184762838740_6773678_s
Which they still hadn’t removed when I checked this morning.
This picture is the kind of pictures depicted on crush sites.
Disgusting don’t you think…
 
People began to come out of the wood work late in the afternoon and in the evening and began to challenge activists and those fighting to stop the ad from being published again.
“oh congratulations you pulled an Ad you did so much…” was one of the comments…
Yes we stood together once again. POSITIVELY… We gained a little donation for our cause and gained some new animal lover friends along the way. Our team is growing… thanks to this ad. I am sure that most of us – if not all of us will boycott the companies involved. I know that I am. I will only check the magazines on Monday and hope that these fat cats have made good on their PR promises…
Another good thing that came out of this for me - I sat last night and wondered why I hadn’t seen the ad as I buy the YOU magazine every week… Then it hit me. I missed out on one copy in May… and that was the copy in which the ad was published. So you could say that I never helped pay for that sick advert…
I appeal to all of you reading this now… share this info… We need people to understand why we were angry.
We can see humour in things…
 248746_206944632674392_131971940171662_519876_2308091_n
but this ad was really in bad taste.
Please comment if you would like to add any more info that I have left out.
Last but not least – thank you to everyone who stood together and had their say. Thank you for standing up for what is RIGHT. I am proud to be a part of the team…

Disgusted…


What is going on with this world?
On the weekend we heard about a dog that was shot in the head, bound, and buried alive and then we hear that in Vereeniging a dog was abused and set alight…
Then we have companies advertising products by joking at animal abuse. There is no excuse…
People need to wake up…
Their destructive behaviour is not appropriate!
Look at this ad and decide how it makes you feel…
shoe city
Would you be upset if that was YOUR dog or cat skinned alive to make that shoe
Because that is what happens… it’s a fact and it is something that we should all stand against!
What if that was your mother, father, wife, husband, or child’s skin?
This is my response on the magazine’s wall…
You wouldn't allow this to be printed in your magazine... "
I'm getting a new pair of shoes - hmmm... They ran over your mother... and another pair... they ran over your wife... and finally the whopper of all pairs... I ran over your child!!!"
So why did you allow shoe city's advert?
I have been a reader of your magazine since a child when my mom would buy the magazine. I am so disgusted by this advertising I doubt I'll be buying another copy.
I agree with other ladies comments on the shoe city wall.
A substantial donation should be made to Animal Welfares COUNTRY WIDE by both YOU magazine for allowing this distasteful advertising as well as shoe city for starting this whole mess in the first place!
You should print a double page retraction where you instead show
1. where the money you donated was spent.
2. The living conditions of animals around the country
3. How much shelters struggle...
4. Abuse of animals country wide...
If something like this is not done I feel that you do not deserve to be a leading magazine and I'll be switching to one that is animal friendly
How about having your say instead of doing something frivolous today?

Mrs Eastwood’s Student…


Hi Everyone. Todays Mrs Eastwood post is a little different. Today we have a story written by one of the people that Mrs Eastwood helped.
Enjoy… and have a super day…
 
“I have a few stories with regards to Mrs Eastwood. She has helped me through some times that I have been convinced that there was no more help at all. One thing she helped with was the passing of my father. Even though no one can ever heal the pain and loss one goes through when loosing a parent or a loved one, she was able to assist me in handling what I had been through and was going through. However there was more to be dealt with.
Have you ever been alone in a room, and all of a sudden you hear a voice. You go cold with fear. Oh my word, there is someone here. What am I going to do? Who is there? Is the door locked? Is the alarm on? Then you hear it again. Hang on, am I just going crazy? It sounded almost like my own voice. I am going crazy. Why am I talking to myself?
This used to happen a lot whilst I was growing up. I was convinced that I was insane. I was then introduced to Mrs Eastwood and she started speaking to me about the guardian angels we all have during our lives. We always have one specific angel that is with us during our lives at all times. We can have four at any point in time that are guiding us through the various obstacles we walk through. If you are ill, you get an angle that will help you regain your strength and another that will help you have even more fun at a happy turn in your life. But do you even know that they talk to you as well. They are basically telling you what you should be doing. The only problem is that we do not listen to them. This is why there are so many things that may seem to go wrong in your life.
Mrs Eastwood taught me how to stop, breathe and to listen. If you stop and breathe, and then listen you will hear what they have to say. Mine was telling me to stop, and allow the sorrow and the pain of the loss of my father to come through. Blocking it like I was was making me sick. At first I really thought that she was not well herself. How on earth that this woman be telling me to listen to the voices in my head? Only crazy people hear voices in their heads, and then to talk back is yet an entirely different story. Now she is telling me to do both.
I did fall ill, and only when this did happen did I start to really listen to what she had been telling me. I stopped every day. Listened to what was around me. I would meditate every day to allow myself to calm down. I would willingly accept the Aura, better knows as earthly energy to those out there, into my life. It is the most powerful healing energy out there known to mankind. I would sit for a few hours every day, and listen to myself. I would express my feelings to myself. I would listen to my guides. I would hear their advice, and I would try and change things in my life to ensure that life started running the path that had been set out for us before we even took our first breath. Believe me when I say that you will not be crazy if you stop and listen for a while. It is very healthy to do this.
Mrs Eastwood taught me how to meditate. How to relax my entire body and allow the natural energy to flow through me. How to see the bigger picture out there. There is more to life that just trying to make as much money as you can. More than trying to ensure that everyone out there is happy. She taught me how to value the life I have in looking after myself first.
I was able to sit and work through a lot of things that happened in the years leading to the death of my father. I was able to slowly work through every step and every harsh word ever spoken. Using my guides to help me walk through the dark paths that we walked through with my dad. Helped me work through all the anger I had towards him. I was able to work through this in knowing that it was not his fault, he was ill, and he did not want to leave us to fend for ourselves. He wanted to be part of our lives. He was too ill to do that. I did not understand that. I was angry with him for not being part of my life. He left me. He died, and I was angry with him. But through the meditation, I started to listen and started to slowly work through this pain. The pain did become less. The anger did leave me eventually, and I started to mourn the death of my dad in the right way. I started to miss him. I wanted to tell him that. But I do know that in listening to the guides and asking them, they were able to help me come to peace with his passing. He was a peace, and I was starting to work through this.
There are many times in my life, that I have forgotten to speak to the guides, and I have forgotten to allow the energy to flow through me. To heal me, and to help me calm down. Meditation is the key. Stop, Breathe and Listen
So I do not think I am going crazy anymore. There are no strangers outside trying to hurt me. The door is locked, but no one wants to hurt me. My guides just want to speak to me. They want to get to know me even better, and I want to know them too.
So why don’t you ask Mrs Eastwood to help you stop those voices in your head. You are not crazy. Trust me on that one. It is always good to listen to your inner being. They are always right!
Hope this helps a few people out there.”
