It has again been a long time since I've updated my blog. One of the admins had asked if I could write anything just to update the readers because people have been sending e-mails enquiring about the dormant site. So, here it is. I hope the post will now un-dormant the site.


Writing diaries has never been a habit of mine. I did try blogging back then as most of you would already know but my attempt did not last. I just did not feel compelled to sit down to pen my day.

The past one month has been nothing less than hectic. My biological machine (i.e. the body) was pushed and tested to almost its maximum limit. It is an arduous task indeed to organise events. Your biological clock has to keep up with the pace of demands that surround you.

Celebrating the conclusion of an event is a must. Everyone's morale was at its high. I am truly grateful for all the help that we have gotten for the Health Within Reach 2015 International Natural Health Conference. With speakers coming from abroad, reaching at different airports, it took a good team to be able to juggle all the hosting of guests and event management. Therefore, before I move on, I would like to thank the good team members and volunteers who were involved in this conference.

Yesterday, I was roaming around in Toys'R'Us. It has been years since I actually hopped into one of its outlets to shop for something. Walking down the aisles of toys reminded me of childhood innocence. Adults, having grown up, have lost their imaginative faculty. They begin to lose sight of their inner child. Many eventually become bitter, hard-headed and take an overly-realistic approach to life.

Caught up with the frenzy of life, they forget that they used to take life one day at a time. While foresight is important, it is also important to not only live in the 'past' or 'future' but stay in the 'present'. This is why it is called the 'present'. It is a gift. In fact, it is probably the greatest gift from yourself to yourself to be able to live in the 'present'.

Children used to think that everything is possible. From the existence of Santa Claus in the North Pole to dinosaurs roaming in their room, children just allowed their creative imagination to run wild and free, uninhibited by any 'realistic thoughts'. This is important because it allowed them to DREAM. They dream to become a doctor, pilot, engineer, lawyer, author, singer, actor, DJ, fireman, policeman and anything else one could ever think of. It is only throughout the years of growing up that a child is conditioned to think that certain careers are superior over others.

I met a child once who dreamed to be a postman. He said he wanted to be a postman because he liked the idea of witnessing other people's happiness whenever they received a parcel. At 4, this dream was probably perfectly acceptable because everyone thought it was "cute". When he reached the age of 12, his dream was labelled as 'not being ambitious enough'. Over the years to come, he will probably eventually be conditioned to dismiss the job as a postman as not being 'respectable enough'.

Driving down the road early in the morning and seeing so many cars lining up in a traffic, one cannot help but think if these people are really 'happy'. Are they in a job that they are truly passionate about or are they working for survival? If they are not happy, the next question one asks is if they have stopped dreaming? Are their dreams still locked in their hearts, waiting for the day of release, or have they just buried them ground deep?

I also know of a young man, an inspiring and passionate chef, who lost his way for some time because of 'survival'. He did the things he was not very passionate about and though it was evident that he was clearly not himself and not doing the thing he loved most, none of us could tell him. After all, he did find it difficult back then to survive merely on cake orders. It has been an absolute delight to know that he has gone back on track after he decided to return to the food industry. The aura he emanated when we last met was absolutely magnificent. There were colours of passion and enthusiasm flaring from his energy centres (i.e. chakras).

I will therefore end my post with this positive note. I believe one will succeed if one follows their passion and dream because regardless of how challenging the journey may be, s/he will breeze through it because their fire of enthusiasm will be as wild as a forest fire that cannot be dampened with a mere bucket of water. If one becomes entrapped in something that they are not truly passionate about, there can be no aspiration and goals worthy of the individual. They key is invoke one's imagination and dream indefinitely. Along with one's dream, action must also be taken. After all, a journey of a thousand miles begins with one single step.

Love and light,
Genevieve
