R-E-S-P-E-C-T
In this video I would like to look at respect. Respect means different things to different people. It means having manners, being helpful, being kind and thoughtful and helping where you see the need. It’s about taking time to see what is going on around you and realising that we are all here to learn in order to gain wisdom and experience from those older than us and to implement that wisdom and experience in our daily lives. Most importantly, we need to respect ourselves because without self-respect everything else is meaningless.

A Night Out in Accident and Emergency
This is a ‘real’ account of a recent trip to an accident and emergency department in the UK at night through observations whilst waiting 10 hours for treatment. It is also about the disrespectful treatment that homeless people face living on the streets with an ever-increasing lack of services and a selfish uncaring attitude towards them by society in general.

Master and Servant
Do you like being a slave and having a master or do you make your own decisions by doing your own research and thinking for yourself? Even after people have admitted what they told you is wrong, do you continue to follow what they say or do you question their authority and think for yourself? You decide what is best for you. Nobody can decide that for you. Question what you are told and do not follow blindly.

Words
Free speech is a wonderful thing. It means everyone can speak their truth without limitations. The words you say pave the way for your actions and shows if you have integrity, morals and respect. Choose your words wisely, since words can heal, uplift and unite or they can wound, destroy and divide.

Dementia - Less We Forget
The world of Dementia can be a very dark place to be as memories and behaviour patterns start to fade. People with dementia can feel isolated, lonely, embarrassed, hopeless, hurt, frightened and angry as their world becomes confused and they have difficulty with communication as well as remembering. It can be hard for them to ask for help from friends, family, loved ones and the community but help, care and understanding is what they will need in order to slow the progress of the disease. This video explores the many ways we can all help until such times as a cure is found. In the meantime, we need to look after the elderly with dementia as they once looked after us. It is our turn, less we forget.

Artificial or Food
It has been proven that eating a well-balanced and natural diet is healthy and boosts our immune system as well as our mental health and wellbeing. We are what we eat. If we eat natural, wholesome and healthy food then we function better. If we eat man-made processed foods with additives and preservatives that are artificial then we will become artificial and eventually become sick. We all have a choice to make. Do we decide to stay healthy and consume food that was created for us by Mother Nature or do we decide that we can improve on Mother Nature and the Great Creator and continually genetically modify, re-create and cross-pollinate for monetary gain?

Business is a Blessing - Service with a Smile
Business is a blessing and every customer who calls or walks through the door should be cherished whether they buy something or not. We should be grateful for them as there is much competition out there. Serve and help them with a smile, since they are paying your wages and keeping you in employment. That is a blessing, so let’s serve them with a smile, help them, respect them and give ourselves integrity and self-respect at the same time.

Sierra Leone - Mountain Lion
This video is a true story. The names have been changed to protect those concerned. We all chase after things that we want. Sometimes when we get what we want, we discover it isn’t what we wanted after all. A reminder that there’s no place like home.
MOUNTAIN LION by D.H. LAWRENCE
Climbing through the January snow, into the Lobo canyon.
Dark grow the spruce-trees, blue is the balsam, water sounds still unfrozen, and the trail is still evident.
Men! Two men! Men! The only animal in the world to fear!
They hesitate. We hesitate. They have a gun. We have no gun.
Then we all advance, to meet.
Two Mexicans, strangers, emerging out of the dark and snow and inwardness of the Lobo valley.
What are they doing here on this vanishing trail? What is he carrying? Something yellow. A deer?
“Qué tiene, amigo”? “León”.
He smiles, foolishly, as if he were caught doing wrong.
And we smile, foolishly, as if we didn't know. He is quite gentle and dark-faced.
It is a mountain lion, A long, long slim cat, yellow like a lioness. Dead.
He trapped her this morning, he says, smiling foolishly.
Lift up her face, Her round, bright face, bright as frost.
Her round, fine-fashioned head, with two dead ears;
And stripes in the brilliant frost of her face, sharp, fine dark rays, Dark, keen, fine rays in the brilliant frost of her face. Beautiful dead eyes. Hermoso es!
They go out towards the open; We go on into the gloom of Lobo.
And above the trees I found her lair, A hole in the blood-orange brilliant rocks that stick up, a little cave.
And bones, and twigs, and a perilous ascent.
So, she will never leap up that way again, with the yellow flash of a mountain lion's long shoot!
And her bright striped frost face will never watch any more, out of the shadow of the cave in the blood-orange rock, Above the trees of the Lobo dark valley-mouth! Instead, I look out.
And out to the dim of the desert, like a dream, never real;
To the snow of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, the ice of the mountains of Picoris,
And near across at the opposite steep of snow, green trees motionless standing in snow, like a Christmas toy.
And I think in this empty world there was room for me and a mountain lion.
And I think in the world beyond, how easily we might spare a million or two of humans And never miss them.
Yet what a gap in the world, the missing white frost face of that slim yellow mountain lion!

CPTSD
CPTSD can be life changing and greatly affect mental health, state of wellbeing and quality of life if left unresolved. In many ways it is similar to PTSD but, since it is relatively new and there haven’t been many case studies to date, it can be difficult for practitioners to diagnose. The ‘C’ stands for complex, or some say childhood. Both seem fitting.

2 Pints Today Please Ernie
Milk men and milk ladies used to provide us with a valuable service throughout our communities. The milk arrived fresh every morning on our doorstep, along with other products. It was literally from farm to table and even more convenient than going to the supermarket. The milk float moved quietly and slowly and was battery operated and the milk came in glass bottles. It was green before green become a ‘thing’ and the good news is they are making a comeback. Good news.
