Spring Equinox, Palm Sunday & Hope For Change!

Happy Sunday!

Day of rest and relaxation. If you are Catholic, you would know today was Palm Sunday. The last Sunday in lent before Easter. Jesus went through Jerusalem on the back of a donkey and everyone waved palms and lay it down on the road for him, in welcome. If you have welcomed someone into your world without expectations, be blessed! Today was also the Spring Equinox when day and night is of equal length. This is a time when people want to re-balance their lives, restructure and re-organize. The equinox brings strong, new energy and a chance for change. In the words of Charlie Chaplin, (one of my favourite quotes!) ''Nothing is permanent in this wicked world, not even our troubles.'' Such a reassuring quote we can and will find sunshine!

Hats off to the strong and those able to take a stand. Change is not far away. Maybe Mr Duncan-Smith is starting it? Another historic moment today - Obama becoming the first U.S. president in 90 years to set foot in Cuba. Who would have thought that would have happened?

Prince Harry visiting Nepal today and giving comfort to all those people who lost all their houses and possessions in the horrific earthquake, last year on the 25th of April. Harry's words, ''Yes, you are lucky to be alive!'' Poor people, not so lucky I think to lose everything and not have anything to call your own and still be in limbo a year on!

In other news, what was actually the purpose of Eddie Izzard running 27 marathons in 27 days other than impressing everybody and the world? Maybe he should be actually doing something more purposeful with his life. Maybe building homes for the homeless. Making sure that London does not have so many homeless people on the streets. The BBC documentary, ''Rich, Famous, and Homeless'' was very eye-opening and maybe more people should be helping to prevent homelessness in this day and age. Everyone is entitled to a home above their head and if that is not a priority, the world is not a better place and nobody is lucky just to be alive.

If you can't find a good person, be one!

Have an awesome day and keep smiling!

Love & Peace!
