Small stones and daily rocks

Stones and rocks have an important place in our lives. We might not notice this. But it is true. The small stones and daily rocks in this article offer ways to view the world differently. Small stones are brief pieces of writing. They describe a particular moment in detail. Writing small stones helps us become more aware. We can all learn to write small stones. Daily rocks are messages. These encourage us to consider our thoughts and actions. Both small stones and daily rocks allow us to become more mindful and more kind.

Engaging Kids Today: A workshop by Dan Haesler

Young boy sitting in the grass with an iPad

As a practicing counsellor, I am always looking for opportunities to develop professionally. Attending workshops or reading text books helps me both at work and at home, as I have 3 young children. I attended a workshop last April called 'Engaging Kids Today, it's not just about iPads' by well known speaker, Dan Haesler. He spoke about engaging kids with technology, online programs and mobile applications. When I returned home, I discussed what I had learned with my middle son, Magnus. He was pleased that I had made the effort to learn more about the things he enjoys.

The new Rainbow Warrior

The Greenpeace ship, painted in dark green with rainbows on the bow.

The third Rainbow Warrior, Greenpeace's new campaign ship, was on its first visit to Australia and had just arrived in Melbourne. One of the crew members said that the ship was here for a few days to raise awareness about what was happening on the Great Barrier Reef. A banner was flying, which said Save the Reef. It was an environmentally friendly Green ship. I gained new insights about Greenpeace and what was happening on the reef.

What happens if, after you lose most or all of your vision, you start seeing things that aren't really there? Are you losing your mind? This is the situation faced by many people with vision loss or impairment who are experiencing Charles Bonnet Syndrome.
