 Many of you have emailed us letting about fantastic projects you are working on or have started since hopping on TLCE. I thought it would be good to highlight a few people who are trying to help others and perhaps help them in the process.

 MUSIC FOR LIFE

 Today I want to let you know about a guy named Doug who emailed us asking if any of our Life Changers had old instruments they would like to donate to his great new cause. Since most of us have some old guitar or something sitting around, unloved and unplayed how about passing them on to Doug, who is setting up a foundation for disadvantaged young people with musical talent. Aimed at inspiring them to develop their gift and keeping them off the streets, by offering the services of a recording studio and access to instruments. Something they would not normally be able to afford.

 Doug Says

 

 

 

 “I had a disadvantaged mate who was a supremely talented musician kill himself, simply because he was unable financially to play the songs that meant so much to him”

 Just like the old days when “Elvis” walked in off the street and became “the king” we want to be able to change people’s lives forever through the power of music.

 When everything is finalized we hope to help a broad range of people, by donating most of the proceeds of every popular recording to selected charities other than ours.

 If you have anything that might be of help to us such as a studio “a mixing desk, an old guitar or two, or even knowledge how to use some modern recording equipment, we could use your help as with your support we can achieve something great that every unearthed musician needs “a chance”.

 Contact Doug: – spadexxx@hotmail.com or www.myspace.com/spadetriplex

 Your help is appreciated and the difference you can make to someone’s life will be fantastic.

 This morning when I was meditating I noticed the sky was dark except for a beam of sunshine bursting through the clouds like a ray from heaven on the Horizin.

 Since it was a little chilly at 6am I naturally thought to myself how much I would love to be under that almost sureal beam, soaking in the rays and feeling very special at being shone upon amongst all the clouds.

 It then dawned on me that the sun was trying just as hard to shine right above my head. It was just the dark clouds that was preventing me from realizing or benefiting from this fact.

 As I sat there I thought about all the times in my life I wished i was ’over there’ , or ‘had this or that,’  when all the while the only thing preventing me from being shone upon or perhaps more accurately shining, was the clouds of doubt, insecurity, and fear I had accumulated over our heads. And of course the lack of forsight to realise this .

 So Im making a concerted effort, rather than looking ‘over there’ at people or things I think will make life  ‘shine’ if I attain – I spending much more time clearing the clouds over my own head, exactly where I am NOW.

 I have been fascinated to discover, ever since I have made a concerted effort to allow the light to crack through the clouds of old thought patterns and beliefs, not what I want, but what I really need is usually waiting right at my feet.

Love your experiences with things turning up when you need them – Especially painful lessons you realised were actually amazing learning experiences
