There's lots of negativity I see at the moment about one of my great loves. Well, actually if I set my mind to it, there's a few things going on around my greatest loves. But for now I'll keep it simple. And as it so often happens it's usually really all one and the same anyway. Have you ever noticed that? You have a few separate issues but when you actually sit with them, are listened to, really heard or have that space by yourself, really all they are are reflections of the same picture.

So for ease I'm sticking with homeopathy. I'm mostly fine about people being opposed to my opinion. Healthy amounts of skepticism, in my opinion anyway, are healthy. And I was absolutely there. I thought my grandma was crazy. She used to throw the doctors antibiotics (those essential life saving medicine thought the 12 year old me), in the fire and get these tissue salts from the health food shop and use them instead. Madness. And somehow, life changed me. My own experiences and those I saw around me, they changed me. I'd love to turn the clock back and talk to my grandma about her decisions to not vaccinate my dad after his bad reaction to the first vaccine he has. I still ponder if his fantastic ability to throw a really good fever is in some way related to the lack of suppression of his immune system at an early age. But time ticks on and I know the facts but no longer the lady at the centre of the stories. And when I did know her it was too early for me and too late for her.

Goodness, midnight memories and tangent time. It must be a time for rememberings as tonight I'm struck by my maternal grandfather's guidance and thoughts on buying office machines. The story goes that he was visited in his council offices by two salesmen. One sold the good points of their device whilst the other spent all their time highlighting the downfalls of the other machine. My grandad's decision? Apparently to go with the salesmen who was positive. He didn't want to listen to the stones being thrown.

So back to the homeopathic (or indeed any) negativity. All well and good but surely time could be better spent? I want to use my time to promote what I love, live the life I love and let the rest pass. Let it wash. Let it be.

With love, light and beauty of all those we love and the truths we hold dear.

To seek our own truth and leave others to live theirs.

Blessings, Em xxx

Very well said. This scenario is so sadly common - the young always think they know everything.
The other thing is what we focus on is empowered. So by focusing on negativity, we give it more power. Instead, we need to focus on the good things.
