romance | I am an Interculturalist

As I stated in my previous blog, I turn 70 in July

I have been pondering what my dear parents, Ian and Edna, passed onto me that I passed onto others.

Let’s discuss what gifts my mum, Edna, passed on to me. Edna was a photographer in the Seige of Ballarat.

What is the siege of Ballarat, you may ask? During

OK, I haven’t solved the line ending in mid-sentence. The Seige of Ballarat was the imaginary line if the Japanese were more successful with their intended invasion in World War 2. So, our family was embedded in photography except for one sibling, yours truly. I was given the gift of the world’s Greatest Volunteer

Both Edna and Ian believed in giving back to their communities, Edna was a Brown Owl in several of the towns we lived in, and Lan. was involved with Rotary

I was a volunteer at Landmark Education, A Buddhist group where I ran diety practices, and CERES enviromental

Park, where I ended

up as Secretary for 7 years and received

a year’s free membership in 2002

It’s time for Marc and Angel Chenoff, the best list makers on the internet, check out LifeHack:

I am very proud of my volunteerism over the years.

Indeed!!!

These links will take you to uplifting songs about volunteerism: bit.ly/3Q4f53o

Your truth versus your values—choose.

And do you spend that day doing by me versus through me?

A declaration:

What is the price of your actions. by choice worth?

What is a fair exchange?

Well said, Winston.

Who do you choose to hang around with?

One of Aesop’s fables that speaks the truth.

They kill men like this, every country does it.

Just be you.

We missed this in the middle east.

An example of Shedom, a true hero of the planet.

a friend once told me It’s up to us, because we can, It’s our time. I use this saying a lot, its powerful. Signing off from I am an Interculturalist Here’s the playlist:

I will be 70 on July 17th. If you. had asked me in my twenties

that I would be celebrating this noble feat, I would have laughed at you.

I am going to list things I have achieved and not achieved over that time. But first, my friends

Marc and Angel Chernoff, the best list makers on the internet:

Your 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s won’t feel like your 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s
Bad things will. happen to you and your friends.
Everyone can make a huge difference.
First impressions aren’t all they’re cracked up to be.
Big results come when you narrow your focus.
Love yourself. Become your own priority.
In order to get, you have to give.
Not much is worth fighting about.
Don’t try to impress everyone.
Keep having fun.
Keep it simple.
Little things stick to you.
Less advice is often the best advice
Sometimes, you just have to go for it

And what does the planet say about leadership? Let’s have a look:

And you may not recognise yourself.

Every moment is for these people.

We all remember this song of adventure: bit.ly/49BG5y6

Be careful; you never know where walking out the door may lead you.

The true adventurers, ocean-going sailors.

And I can still relate to this as I turn 70.

A personal request from your inner child.

At what age did you stop doing this?

At times, I have had empty pockets, but my soul flourished

Profound!!

Curiosity killed the cat, but not the adventurers.

There are 7 billion ways of living.

Wise words from the great beat.

I’m on the blocks, wondering what my next adventure will be.

But don’t tell the whole world, or it will become a tourist attraction, like Bali.

Some of the things I should not have done:

ride my bike without a helemt

sell drugs to country boys who got caught, and in the article in the Herald Sun, I was the friend from Melbourne that led to being followed by the drug squad for three months.

Something I did that made a difference was have the main street of St.Petersburg in the name of ending world hunger with the major and post-minister

I have to get the words. I am an Interculturalist in here. Till next time
