About Me:
I'm inspired by the Constellation since three years. The Constellation changed my life.

My concern:
I'm concerned is to miss the appointment I have with life. To live sleepy. To miss some of the great richness and beauty of this miracle that is life.
I'm proud of:
I'm proud or happy when I can truly and deeply listen to my friends or family without wanting to find a solution to their problem but just listening without judging.
What I think of Community Life Competence:
I believe it is the key for me and others to take their life in their own hands

Community is... coming together for mutual support of love and life

Dear friends,

This weekend I participated in an acroyoga workshop on the theme 'Building our community'. Besides hanging upside down and doing crazy things together, we reflected on the meaning of community.


I wanted to share this with you because the definitions people gave touched me.

"Community is...

Living Buddha, Living Christ... through SALT

Two weeks ago we had lunch with Khun Praseut or ‘Deeng’ -his nick-name. Deeng is from Thailand and he coordinates the Interfaith Network of Thailand. We explored with him why he became a Christian growing up in a Buddhist country. I listened attentively because I made a similar journey, growing up as a Christian but practicing Buddhism in my daily life.

Deeng started: “Actually, my father is a Buddhist and my mother is a Christian, so I was brought up with both religions. For me all religions a… Continue

True dialogue for transformation and peace

I was truly touched by the book of Thich Nhat Hanh Living Buddha, living Christ, in which he brilliantly shows the parallels between the life of Jesus and the life of the Buddha. I was inspired because many of the things he writes make me think Aha! This is exactly what the Community Life Competence Process is about...


I was particularly struck by this paragraph:
"In a true d… Continue

Tambour, dance et sourire: l'explosion congolaise d'énergie


Dimanche dernier vers midi, Gaston, Mimi et moi sommes arrivés dans la petite cour du centre 'PECS' (Projet d'Entraide pour la Chaîne de Solidarité) pour les enfants de la rue. Les garçons étaient excités et courraient dans tous les sens, jouaient au foot, lavaient leurs vêtements et se battaient gentiment, c… Continue

Drum, dance and smile: the Congolese explosion of energy



Last Sunday around noon, Gaston, Mimi and I stepped into the little yard of 'PECS' center (Projet d'Entraide pour la Chaîne de Solidarité) for street children. The boys were excitingly running around, playing football, washing their clothes and gently fighting as young boys do.

Most of them live a hard life… Continue

Thanks, Laurence, for your offer of friendship. Of course, I accept.

I look forward to spending more time on the site. Currently, for my dependent sister, activities related to keeping open Residential Habilitation Centers (RHCs), state-operated, campus facilities for people with profound and complicated developmental disabilities, demand most of my "free" time. Some people are trying to have all of them closed and our State Legislature has their demands under consideration.

Yesterday, from 5:00 AM until 10:30PM my day included testimony in 3 legislative hearings, lobbying and organizing at our State Capital. Until I began to write this, the similarities in this heartwork and AIDS-focused-activism had not occurred to me. I hope, in time, it will serve as a point of connection & I look forward to exploring the similarities as I make more friends on this site.

Hi Laurence,
I am still having the same problem. Your instructions to say to click on "choose file" and say nothing about "browse." The configuation I find on the "settings page" has "browse", but no "choose file," so when I have browsed and selected the file I wish to upload, I can find not means by which to "choose" it.
Thanks,
Saskia

Hi Laurence,
Thank you for prompting me to add a photo. Can you please tell me how to do it after I have chosen the photo in "browse"? I can't seem to find the button!

Dear Laurence:

Based on me why fathers interested in ARH because they care and love youths and after SATL visit they aware that ARH is part of youth life. Why did change happen? It is inclusion it self thta fathers include them self on taking care and loving youths along with better understanding on ARH since this not only deal with healts matter but also deal with other's youth life and attituted and the way youths responce to situation surround them. It's just my thoughts Laurence...

Dear Laurence;

Siti asked her husband and her daugthers to join her at family day by her office last week. Non of them were interested to join. Her husband even didn't think that its good way spending holiday. Siti again asked them to join but all of them refused. At last Siti said that she appreciate their decision but so sorry thta she had to join the family day at her office because she has team building activity at the act. Siti confirmed me thta her husband was smile and said that: Ok I will be your driver to the family day..!!. That's really surprised Siti. And she felt so happy with this. SALT really eases my life, she said.
