  1. Another great quote, Ilana. How true is this?

    Thinking alone doesn't 'cut the mustard' as we often spend time weighing up the ifs and buts and do nothing. We must act and that comes from a readiness for responsibility, which is from the heart.

    1. Thank you... yes I love it too. It's also true. Every action, every word, must come from the heart, through the heart there is no malice.

      Without malice we will be ready and happy to own and take responsibility. It's not enough to talk, we must act in a way that supports each other and our environment.
