Inspired to move forward

Hello Everybody,

Have you ever had the opportunity to meet incredible people and become inspired to greater things?
I want to say, this morning was an inspirational blessing for me. I had the opportunity of meeting a woman, Edna Frienkel. The lady behind the Readucate Trust. Edna is truly an inspiration to old and young. She is in her late 70's and has the most amazing memory. A mind that is full of compassion and spills out blessings to everybody she comes into contact with.
I had the opportunity of attending one of her lectures at a local school and this was totally awesome, not only does she take the podium with confidence; she radiates warmth and understanding of her greatest passion. She is the mastermind behind the importance of reading, yes reading! Her program does have potential to extend to the uneducated and ignorant people of this country.
She had done a tremendous work in the education field for most of her life and passionately continues to assist and help needy, ignorant and dysfunctional people.
Such a wonderful person and I feel blessed to have had this opportunity.
I will be in constant contact with this fine lady and I can honestly say she is one of those rare people who make a huge impact on life's journey.
At this meeting both of my novels in the Anglurian series was received with a warm reception and there is the potential to incorporate these stories into the education sphere. I am quite excited and inspired to get back to completing the third book soon.

All the best.

Cannabis Making you Potty and the quest for the truth in the Boeremag Trial

Hello Everybody,


Cannabis Is Smoking the Pot Called Going Potty

Cannabis (marijuana) has medication properties. The problem arises when smoking the pot causes a person to go potty. Planting the seed for legal weed can go horribly wrong due to uncontrolled substances.

Want to read more, check out the article on the Hub Pages.

Here is the link

Cannabis Can smoking the Pot make you Potty

So whether the legal weed can make you potty or not, check out the You tube video in the article.
And from smoking the pot let me give you some other updates.


This week another few articles have been published on the Guardian Liberty Voice. I am continuing my quest to find some truths under the pile of lies and deceit. The failing democracy of South Africa is serious and only the truth will make a difference.
Forceful Brutality From South African Police Services

Link Forceful Brutality From South African Police Services

This article looks at incidents of the brutality of the South African Police force. Yes they are a force unto themselves.
Of course looking at the Police services in the next article displays the arrogant manner and chaos within this division.

South Africa: Police Services Spotlight a Failing Democracy

Link South Africa: Police Services Spotlight a Failing Democracy


Then the last published article focuses on the South African Defense Force and how this organisation contributes to the failing democracy of the country.

South Africa Defense Forces in a Failing Democracy

Link South Africa Defense Forces in a Failing Democracy


I have completed a few more articles and they should be published soon.

I must add that the article I did on the Boeremag caused me to connect with some incredible people and I have so much more to tell. I am going to focus on the untold story of some of the people involved. There are questions that remain unanswered and I will try and piece together some of the information I have gathered.

Well I do wish you all a pleasant week, filled with everything good.

Boeremag, Police Brutality, and More!!

Hello Everybody,

I want to share some links to articles published in the Guardian Liberty Voice.

These are new articles that I have written this week. I am still on my quest for the truth and can honestly say that I seem to be hitting a home run.

The first article is titled THE BOEREMAG, THE PHANTOM THREAT TO SOUTH AFRICA

Here is the link -


The Boeremag: The Phantom Threat to South Africa
This is an interesting article and I will say that there is a follow up to this story next week. I have been contacted by various people who want to share some truths. Interesting.


Another published article is INNOCENT VICTIMS CAGED LIKE ANIMALS

Here is the link:

Innocent Victims Caged Like Animals

This article is the story of how the police treat victims arrested for crimes not committed. I was at the police station and court during the one instance and honestly find the entire system corrupt.


An interesting article is CRUCIFYING PRESIDENT JACOB ZUMA

Here is the link:

Crucifying President Jacob Zuma
This the continuation of the corruption and manipulation of people in power. The story does not end here, there is more.

For those who read the article "Weapons of Mass Destruction Missing in South Africa", there is a follow up to this story.


Well I dont want to be doom spreader but you know the truth is just that, the truth. I believe the truth will set us free.

Have a great day.

THE ANGLURIAN STORY - BOOK 3 - SIPHO AND THE DEVIL'S TRIANGLE

Hello Everybody,

Trusting all is well.

It is still wonderful and hot here in South Africa. We are all enjoying the outdoors while we can. I think there are about two more months of good weather then the cold will start to blow in and before we know it, winter will be visiting again.

I am still working on my third book in the Sipho series and am sharing chapter two today. This is still in draft form and might well change once editing starts.


Chapter 2
Lindiwe hearing the commotion outside went to investigate and found the excited children surrounding Zerydo. She walked closer to them and noticed how they were extremely absorbed in his story.
"Hello everybody, and how are all the youngsters today." She asked politely.
"We are fine thanks," Sipho said as he turned around to greet her.
She walked up to Sipho and inquired about their excitement. Zerydo stood up and told her they were debating who the swimming champion is. She listened intently to his plans of training the children at the marathon swimming pool located at the science university.
"Sounds like you are planning a mission and somewhere there will be swimming involved." She said with a wry smile upon her face.
"A mission, not at all, its just a little bit of fun we are planning," he replied with a frown upon his face.
"Well I know that you are not so keen on spending time with the children and only do so when there is an ulterior motive." She said.
"Lindiwe, you must believe me, there is no ulterior motive, and this is a challenge between the children whom all claim to be a champion swimmer."
Lindiwe folded her arms and told him she certainly hoped he was telling the truth, and with that, Sipho chirped that there was no mission planned, as he had not been called to the Holy temple. Ruffling his hair, she said good-bye and went inside. Zerydo watched her walk away and told the children that he would arrange a trip to the University soon. The excited children kept up the conversation of whom the best swimmer was and ran down the stairs to the pool area to get in some more practice. Zerydo stood back and watched the eager children splash around in the pool. He felt confident that he would be able to teach the children without the curious and inquiring mind of Lindiwe.
He was not sure whether he should leave and go home or go back inside and talk to Zanu but then he decided to go home, he did not want to arouse suspicion within the household.
Zanu had during this time, absorbed most of the requirements of what GMH had anticipated and although still in shock at the intensity of the situation, he knew he would have to tread cautiously around Lindiwe. Stretching his arms over his head, he leaned back and thought about the feisty Lindiwe's response to the news of another mission. He wondered about the best way to convince her to participate in the swimming adventure, and different thoughts raced through his mind.
Randia returned to his office and sat opposite him. She immediately told him that she was concerned about Lindiwe, and he reassured her that all would be well.
"Zanu, you have so much patience and I know you were concerned about this mission, please tell me more."
"My dear, I was shocked when I learned of what was required, but now, after careful consideration, I realize that GMH always has an extraordinary ending to any mission." He confidently told her.
"Zanu, when will you tell Lindiwe?" Randia asked him.
Zanu got up and walked around the desk, he lovingly put his hand on her shoulder and told her that he would not communicate with Lindiwe until it was necessary. He reminded her not to repeat their conversations to Lindiwe or the children until he was absolutely convinced they needed to know. She looked up at him and nodded in agreement. Zanu left the office and went outside.
A gentle breeze was blowing through the warm air, and Zerydo entered the house only to discover the children all ready to leave and go with him to the university. The eagerness overwhelmed him, and he prayed for their safety. Lindiwe not a person to be ignored came out of the dining room and greeted him.
"Zerydo, I don’t have much to do today, may I have the pleasure of joining your expedition to the University?" She asked.
"What a wonderful idea, of course I will be delighted to have you accompany me." He replied.
The children all ready and together with the two adults left the house and walked down the gleaming pathway toward the main gate. Lindiwe queried whether they would use the autoglider or the train. Simultaneously the children asked him to use the train. The train it was and so they walked toward the terminal location and waited. Lindiwe smiled at him and for the first time realized how handsome he actually was. She turned away from him in a moment of shyness and felt shamed for allowing her thoughts to venture off into a troublesome direction. Zerydo did not see her slight agitation and concentrated on the children.
Sipho, Emma, and Irma were the first to board the train, Olomos and Ogmu followed, and Zerydo, waited for Lindiwe to embark before he took his seat. A pleasant journey with the excitement barely contained as the children started to predict their swimming competition results. Zerydo listened to their enthusiasm and glanced at Lindiwe remained aloof and continued to stare out of the window. He knew she had a slight idea of not believing his motives, he decided to remain indifferent and hope for the best.
When the train arrived at the University, the children could hardly contain their excitement and urged Zerydo to walk faster toward the pool area. He felt their energy and eagerly stepped up his pace, ignoring the lagging behind Lindiwe who followed the group at her own pace.
At the pool area, the children entered the change rooms and returned almost immediately all ready clad in their swimming gear and eager to get into the pool.
"I think we must remain at the shallow end of the pool, for the sake of safety, that is." He told the children.
"I suppose that will be a good idea, especially for Irma who is not a great swimmer." Sipho replied.
"Hey, I am not that slow, I will keep practicing and beat you yet," Irma told him and whacked him gently on his arm.
All laughing they agreed and jumped into the pool. Finally, Lindiwe arrived and stood beside Zerydo. She remarked on how passionate they were and watched the children swimming in freestyle enjoying the larger swimming pool. The pool was massive, and the water crystal clear, Lindiwe was glad they were at the shallow end and dreaded the thought of them trying to swim at the deep end.
"Sipho, come over here and let's start the race and find how who has the strength of champion material." Zerydo called out to the children.
The children got out of the pool and took instructions from Zerydo. Lined up at the designated position he had chosen for them and told them on the count of three they could start the race. He counted, and the earnest children dived into the water and swam with all their might, toward the other side. Both Zerydo and Lindiwe watched in amazement as the five children all displayed a unparalleled quality. The children swam at a steady pace and remained close together to reach the other side before turning around for the home stretch.
Lindiwe watched as the delicate Irma swam with the movement of an experienced champion, she glided through the water and reached the finish in an elegant style. Closely followed by Sipho, then Olomos, Emma and Ogmu trailed into final position.
Zerydo bent over, helped Irma out of the water, and promptly declared her the winner of the freestyle competition. The children cuddled up in a towel congratulated Irma, and although slightly shocked at been beaten by a girl, Sipho told her how proud he was of her achievement. She was happy and did not gloat over her winning; she knew the others were a tad jealous of her success. Irma remained modest, reminded them in her gracious way that she might not win all races, and told them that backstroke and butterfly mode was more difficult for her. Sipho as always chirped in and told them that he was a master of the butterfly style. They laughed, and the quiet Ogmu told them he would win one day.
Lindiwe walked over the grass area and sat down on one of the wooden benches, commanding a splendid view of the group. Zerydo followed and sat next to her.
"I must say the children are certainly talented, who would of thought they would swim so well after only being exposed to a smaller swimming pool." He said trying to make light conversation.
"Yes, I too am surprised, especially with the performance of Irma, whom I thought would be the last one to return."
"Irma is certainly a child with many unnoticed talents, I would think."
"Hmmm, I wonder about that, she is rather delicate but surprising to say the least."
Zerydo and Lindiwe chatted about the children while watching them dart in and out of the water. She told him about her fear of the deep end and hoped he would keep them close to the shallow side at all times. He agreed and told her not to fear, he would always supervise their swimming activities.
Well that is the 2nd chapter for now and will share more again.

Hoping you all have a great week and remain blessed.

Your friend,
Laura

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014

Hello Everybody,
Happy new year!

Yes it is the beginning of a new year and sometimes that is good. A new year can be the start of new goals, targets and plans.

This is a letter from a friend, and it is beautiful, I think this is the best way to say I wish you a perfect new year.


Proverbs taken from Christian Courier:

A good and faithful friend evidences constancy

These “friends of opportunity” are similar to “fair-weather” friends. They are of no value for real needs and support. Choose your friends wisely, for “A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother” (Prov. 18:24). The cultivation of friendships indiscriminately can be disastrous.

A true friend possesses candor. He will be open, honest, and sincere. Reproof that is given in love is noble; insincere affection is hypocritical. Solomon said, “Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy” (Prov. 27:6).

To surround ourselves with “yes men” is spiritually detrimental. “A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet” (Prov. 29:5). We ought to be thankful when our friends offer criticism; we ought to take it as constructively as we can. “Whoever rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than he who flatters with his tongue” (Prov. 28:23). Candor is a quality of a true friend.

A genuine friend offers wise counsel, even a healthy clash of views.


A trustworthy friend has consideration. He should demonstrate compassion for the feelings of friends. He ought to have a deep sensitivity so he can say the right thing at the right time. If “counsel” is what he says, “consideration” is how and when he says it.


May I wish you a very happy and fruitful 2014


All the best,
Your friend,
Laura
