Sometimes, ONE may FEEL entrapped or captivated by
someone or indeed a situation that leaves one with fear and faulty judgment…That in reality ONE may well have created this situation ones self… We must not deny what ONE really wants or who ONE really IS …Yet consider and incorporate the needs and wants of the other…Try empathy not fear… Love is NOW “So modern so now so necessary…” Always be willing to expand ones existing dreams and desires, we must ALSO be appreciative of what we truly already have and honor those gifts that are current... One must be transparent with ones love and life… Then one can make informed decisions simply make time to show ones true feelings to the other. Then one is truly free to love fully and without fear…Expressing and living by what we truly needs is so much more thrilling and deeply satisfying. Suppressing not expressing our truest needs and desires will always cause internal conflict and unfulfilled LIFE'S/VITA!! We can all benefit through seeking comfort and shared understanding from one we feel able to express ones REAL thoughts and feelings with. So now, so right so real.. So“Picturesque” so Statuesque so......Vitaesque linkktna.org/topics.php?aid=687 For Ger who died on the mountain last week Vita Tuesday, Aug 12 2008

We must apply our creative powers and allow the Tibetan
truth to be told. We must trust our integrity and speak our golden truth Trust our intuition use our will power to consciously override self-doubt or fear to speak out for what is right for ourselves and the other... Ultimately it is universal LAW a fundamental right, for us all to have our voices heard and listened too..It is imperative that we act on our love make something happen that is golden and transparent. Vita Getup and speak up "GetUp's TV ad has hit the headlines as Kevin Rudd arrives at the Beijing Olympics, urging him to speak out on the issues in Tibet. The ad, made with the Australia Tibet Council, is going to air either side of the Opening Ceremony, click here to watch it: We sent the PM a copy of the ad, and he has pledged to raise human rights issues in Beijing. We know this sort of diplomacy works - Last week the PM condemned the media censorship around the Olympics and the Chinese Government eased their control on media coverage of the games. There is stil one hurdle left to clear the Seven Network, in response to the media interest our ad has generated is now denying the fact that we've booked the ad space. Unfortunately for them we have on our desks a confirmed booking sheet suggesting otherwise! Whether or not Channel 7 decide to uphold the values of free speech, one can watch the ad for oneself here: Most interesting NEWS here at VITA TODAY!! For what ever reason we at VITA are unable to link to this campaign by Getup.... So go to my quick links and click on the GETUP SITE and then click on their campaign OlympicSilenceIsNotGolden& It's vital that after the Olympics the world does not 'switch off' on Tibet - that's why we're planning more ads for the closing ceremony and beyond. Stay tuned for opportunities to help get the message out soon.' The getup team Friday, Aug 01 2008
We must always be vigilant if not honorable to our
conviction and passions to ensure that our lives have true meaning and genuine substance … Every action needs a narrative. We must always consider the commitments, we have made to the other and ourselves. We must reflect on what we value and with whom we share those convictions and passions. Never let ones self disappear or stray from what one came to change love and offer the world …… Melbourne International Film Festival WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BRENDA HEAN?

When one has something very important to say, it is
best practice to say it with consciousness, integrity, and respect for the other. Some things are best, talked about with quiet veneration (regard) not volatile vengeance…. When it comes to the mysteries of our soul or the desires in ones heart; there is no need to shout from the valley to the mountaintop. Remember, ones words always have more affect when we offer them with clarity kindness and speak softly from our heart felt needs… Vita GETUP ON CLIMATE CHANGE FRUIT AND TORCHES To solve the climate crisis, we will need a movement unprecedented in Australia's history. We must ALL mobilize this movement, GetUp has invented a new device to respond to the climate crisis. We can hold it in one hand. It combines solar power, a wind-turbine, and.... A LEMON It's our climate torch, designed exclusively for GetUp by the creators of the Sydney Olympic torch, and with our help we'll take it to a hundred towns, cities and suburbs across Australia - before arriving in Canberra, where thousands of GetUp members will present it directly to Parliament. Click below to get a first glimpse of what it looks like, and to nominate your town to host it. www.climatetorch.com/?dc=439,86439,2 No government will ever soar higher than its citizens demand - and most will sink as low as we allow. Now more than ever we must demand this government soars above political spin and vested interests high enough to provide the climate leadership we need over these coming months when Australia's response to climate change will be locked in. We have a vision for this torch relay. As it travels around Australia, GetUp members will collect tens of thousands of submissions to the government's climate policy consultation: an unprecedented flood of public opinion. Our leaders need to hear from us - from your town, city and suburb - because industry lobbyists will win this fight if we don't. Click on the link above to see the torch and nominate your community for a leg of the first ever Climate Torch Relay: After nominating your area you can volunteer to run the torch, or help organise the torch leg in your town. We can only bring the torch to your town if it will be supported on the ground, so register your help today! To a renewable future, The GetUp! team Wednesday, Jul 23 2008
Ending Mandatory Detention in Australia-NOW
Opportunities to change flawed history and revalue our future are the moments we must embrace and love for many life times to come Getup is right across this imperative issue and keen as Pimms to resolve this pressing issue... GETUP AND ACT We must all act with determination and love to 'end a regrettable chapter of Australian history that caused unimaginable suffering to some of the world's most desperate and downtrodden. The currnet Government has launched an unexpected but long-awaited inquiry into immigration detention The system that placed the next generation of children in detention, sewn lips, the Cornelia Rau affair not to mention global condemnation from the international community." This current Federal government Inquiry on the issue signals that they are genuine in their beliefs about dismantling 'MR HOWARD'S Austrailia policy on mandatory detention". A cruel and inhumane detention regime that denied fundamental human rights. 'For the first time they are asking us for our views." "If ever you have despaired at the treatment of asylum seekers, add your name to GetUp's petition and speak up for those who can't..WE must all play a role and end this ongoing national shame:" www.getup.org.au/ campaign/EndMandatoryDetention&id=365 "So many times the community has rallied against mandatory detention, finally we have an opportunity o consign it to the dustbin of history." Now we must demonstrate to the Government that we demand a humane system for all our people.For over a decade, governments have treated asylum seekers with contempt. They have been denied basic rights and dignity Previous government have "opted for the shabby politics of fear. This is our chance to stand up and demonstrate that Australians demand decency and genuine humanity. GETUP "Together we will show that harsh treatment of the vulnerable is unacceptable in our community. This Inquiry is a moment we have been waiting for to show that what was thought to be popular in the electorate." It is imperative that we show the world that our love much stronger than our fear. Speak up today to right over a decade of wrongs. WE must all be part of showing love not fear...So sign click on the link above and shake the cage of a world behaving badly Vita and the Getup team Friday, Jul 18 2008
