For the children, and our future.

The war continues...

I watch the new broadcasts with a sense of horrified resignation. How can so many people suffer so badly? It is almost unimaginable, but it is still happening. The war  is in fact spreading. Iraq too is being torn apart, as is Yemen and many other places. An entire region is in pain.

All I can do is watch and maybe, do a few small things to help those who survive. I think especially for the children. My life has been tough but nothing on the the kind of scale that these poor people have seen. Children are being frozen to death, chased across borders by Hungarian border guards and abused in camps in western Europe. I will ashamed of my own government. Even three thousand vulnerable young people seem to be too much effort for them. 

So I decided I would do what I could to raise a few funds and even more importantly, awareness for the plight of these kids. I am running on 24th May 2017 in the Westonbirt 10K race. I have never done this before. I have begun training already and i feel fantastic. 

I would feel even better the more that people donate to my fundraising page. That was a hint.


I have been recovering from a serious illness of my own and the running is helping me focus, especially as I will be able to make a immediate impact on other peoples lives. Give something back folks. It will make you feel incredible. I am running for UNICEF but by all means donate or work for whoever you want. But make a difference. Get out there and #JustDoIt #ForTheChildren. 

Have a great day. Andy

A thought for you?

This morning, this is for those who would care for others, and for themselves. Embrace the day and be fully human. Feel the sun and hear the wind, accepting all that is to come and then release yourselves into the moment. That is all there is to it. The simple steps we can take towards realising our potential. Give it a try?

Starting again.

I am healing, and as part of this process I have to help others, if they let me, do the same.

My idea for 'The Otherworld Solution' is to share my journey with you guys. It is a step by step process that has brought me back to health after a very long ordeal. 

As I find answers to my questions I will post them here for you.

I don't have your solution. But I can show you how I am finding my way through life. It will involve honesty and dedication and considerable courage

That is all I want to say right now. It is early days for me. I hope you will be patient. 

Take care and have a wonderful morning. 

Andy
