A little window that allows a peek into what goes on in the head of this peculiar soul who is very passionate about the unfolding of one's truth, writing, mountains, nature and making a contribution... It's all about a journey to self-actualisation, self-love and the inevitable outward outpouring of love as a result... It's all about acceptance..Of connection, love and affirmation...

What's in a brand?
I just found out that the brand of coffee
that my mother enjoys (and so we have a common supply at home) is from a
company that has been repeatedly accused of unjust labor practices. Of which, the most alarming is their turning a
blind eye on illegal and forced child labor rampant in their cocoa farms. It had been reported that as many as 100,000
child laborers are working in hazardous conditions on these farms. There were even reported cases wherein
children between 9 and 12 years old are tricked or sold into slavery to these
farms for just $30 each. (http://www.laborrights.org/creating-a-sweatfree-world/ethical-consumerism/news/)
