Grand-children: what lies ahead for them?

Above is my grandson Foster who is a little more than 11 weeks old when this photo was taken recently. He is such a 'boy' and promises to be an active toddler in the months ahead.

He tends to wake quite often during the night and I remind my daughter that it's now pay-back time for all the nights she kept me awake during the first five months she refused to sleep! But if he takes after his mother in any other ways, he'll be an amazing person with a quick wit and a wonderful personality that others are attracted to instantly.

My grand-daughters: Keira, on the left, is very much a little lady who loves fashion and exercising her personal taste. She enjoys highland dancing which she has been doing for 4 or 5 years, music and swimming.

Bryna couldn't care less what she wears... as long as it's comfortable. Her passion is horses and she's been taking riding lessons for about three years now.

Who can doubt that angels exist when you see beautiful children such as these? I am truly blessed.

But, like many other grandparents, I often wonder what lies ahead for them all. What sort of world will it be? Can we change it to reflect the love and peace that is the core of who we all are? Will we ever connect with that core as a species?

As Eckhart Tolle reminds us, as does many others, our outer world is simply a reflection of our inner. If that is the case, the news we view on TV each day does not bode well for us. But I refuse to believe that it is hopeless. We simply don't get to see all the wonderful things that are also taking place around us.

Yes, the world is an insane place where there is much violence and suffering, but there are also individuals and organziations dedicated to changing it. However, it seems the TV news editors aren't aware of them so we don't usually get to hear about their work.

If YOU are interested in helping to bring about world peace, check out the Global Coherence Initiative at http://www.glcoherence.org/. This is a group of individuals who empower co-creation with others for the benefit of all. This is what they say about themselves:

The Global Coherence Initiative is a science-based initiative uniting millions of people in heart-focused care and intention, to shift global consciousness from instability and discord to balance, cooperation and enduring peace.

This is an opportunity to sow the seeds of change. If, like me, you feel this is important work, please register and become part of the solution to changing our world.
