CARE CLOWNING...


This is MAfrika - my Care Clown, she visits the children in hospitals and institutions, to share joy... I agree with my Clown Dr brother Andres in Mexico (Risaterapia) -our Care Clown's are the best version of us.

JOY is a gift which simultaneously gives and receives - taking the time to get out of my busy mind and into the precious moment of sharing joy...

It's such a blessing, sharing time with the children, the staff in the hospital, the parents... to see their faces turn from down,solemn and concerned - to loving, laughing and joyously UPlifted... is pure fuel to my spirit.

Everyday I choose to commit to these joyous moments, I feel closer to the core of our collective humanKINDness...


I hope more people can connect with this inspiring volunteer work - please check out http://www.myggsa.co.za/connect/receivers/the_upliftment_programme/ and contact The UP to become an 'Agent of JOY'

Just Little JOY steps everyday...

How do I feel when someone smiles at the intersection and let's me into the flow of traffic?
How do I feel when I'm the person smiling and allowing another into the flow of traffic?


Simple...

yet we need to be reminded of the 'simple' sometimes, especially when our own stuff, our head clutter, builds a selfish wall which blinds us from the opportunities to share joy with simple actions.

Today I enjoyed the opportunities I had in the flow of joyous traffic...
