Being classy is NOT about being stuck up, but more so about having a simply unique style that will never be forgotten. To be classy is to have respect; respect for others, respect for elders and most of all respect for yourself.
Unknown..

That was very thought provoking and I am clear that being classy is not about the cloths you wear. It is about your attitude and whether it is an attitude of gratitude.
Being a class act is another kettle of fish. Being a class act means you are very funny or you stand out from the rest of the minions.
Saying to someone, "That is classic", similarly means what is being discussed is to be held up. That it is something that really makes you think or laugh... its classic!
Pictured above is Pip. He is a classic. He was before his treacherous accident and he is the same afterwards. He has seen and done a lot of things in his somewhat classic life.

LISTEN TO YOUR HEART, COUNTRY IS CALLING.
have my rights to stand up and protect our Native land from bullies, selfishness, greed, and those who have no respect for our future generations and Country. I live out here; Country keeps me strong and healthy. I drink and eat, have fresh clean air, have plenty to see and do. Country is very important and precious to keep for my children, grand children and our future generations. I am so proud and very lucky to have this richness and glory. I have just reunited with my family and Country. This is my life and this is what I want to teach my children, grandchildren and future generations; and any other who want to learn about our Culture and live a simple and healthy lifestyle.
No Government in this world have any right to over-ride our people's inherited sovereign rights, to destroy our culture, our songline; and the people's choice on how to live their life, safely and in harmony. You have taken us away from our family and Country when our hearts said no. Well, my heart said that is enough of all of this. You still want to take our land away from under our feet, tried to burn us out, raped our virgin ground; ripping our hearts out at the same time. We are people with hearts, souls, and strong feelings - and you drag us off Country like we are rubbish.
You are taking our water which is our life, our main resource. You are bringing on global warming, poverty, violence, rape, murder - because you want everything the people have. You leave them them with nothing; you leave them with no choice. People's rights are to do strongly what comes from the heart and soul - in good faith and full of love and care for future generations. You are bullies, greedy, selfish, have no respect, and care only for money, money, money - that is all not very healthy for human society.
You have sold your souls, your hearts, your Country - through selfishness, greed, bullying, and lack of respect. Shame on those for bringing heart ache, sorrow and tears every day. They have no right - Country belongs to the people who care about Country, and want to take care of it. You walked off Country and turned your back away from your people, and haven't looked back till you smelt the money - then you became selfish, bullies, greedy and have no respect for Country, the people, and future generations.
We the protectors for Country, make sure that is everything attached is still here walking, talking, and living it still - and is fit for real human beings. Our children, grandchildren, and future generations can be strong, healthy and happy. LISTEN TO YOUR HEART, COUNTRY IS CALLING.

Feel Your Feelings, But Don’t Believe Them.
Adopt a pet. Pets on the whole give you an unlimited amount of attention and love. I know this on a very personal level. I have a dog and a cat and the love they bestow on us is just a beautiful thing, It has been said this is comforting and healing. I probably couldn't do it with out their love.
Another way of making something different is to change your entire look. get a new hairstyle or color.
Buy some new cloths and feel your spirit change. Move your bedroom around, this can change the energy in your special revival space. These are ways of relieving endless monotony!
I have a monotony of loss, grief and sadness and I must do somethings on a regular basis to alleviate this. I am going away in just over twenty days to Uluru and I will feel the spirit people there in that place and they will speak harshly to my spirit to pull it into line.
The spiritual nature of this attack has been classic. This happens a lot to people but it can be alleviated. The sense of belonging is more than necessary to this.
My own children treat this like it is something that is normal. This is tyranny. The sadness should not be visited on any mother who has loved their children and a mother who wanted them so much and wanted a yummy happy life for them.
This was not to be, not for me anyway. I was hooked up to a man who was the epitome of selfishness. He had many sexual affairs and was having one with a girl when my son Jesse was born. She chased him to Bellingen to tell him of his son who is a few months older than our son.
The lesson in this is to get out quick when your spirit tells you to. Your spirit is connected to God and the universe and is never wrong.

The quality of a friendship is based on many different values that are considered to be positive.
These values include sympathy and empathy; trust in one another, mutual understanding and compassion, and honesty.
Friends should be able to go to each other for emotional support, provide a give and take relationship on both ends, and be able to express their feelings and mistakes without judgment.

No Light
There's no way out of this, no light, no hope.
Put out the fire that burned so bright, no truth, no home.
My footprints in the sand are cleared with morning's tide.
For nothing will remain, all will subside.
But there must be something more.....
The darkest clouds will fall, all meaning laid to waste
They tell me there's no hope, no light to guide the way.
If these shells of skin and bone are all we have,
Then I refuse to stand and watch the fire die inside.

My footprints in the sand are cleared with morning's tide.

A Hope for Home (commonly abbreviated to AHFH) is a band based in Portland, Oregon that formed in 2006. Kyle one of the founding members died of cancer in 2006 just after the band formed.
This is an example of love for a friend who has passed but who will never be forgotten. A spokes person for the band said:

Image by Brice Brennan - Mary-Ellen and Cathy Correia at Perry's Hill returning from a road trip!Our message is simple, Believe in Hope. No matter what you are going through in your life, there is always hope. Kyle battled cancer for 6 years of his life, and lived far longer than he was ever expected. He never stopped fighting, and didn't give into hopelessness. He lived a full life through it all, and used the pain and hardships that he was going through for a much higher purpose. Hopelessness can easily take over when we are in overwhelming circumstances and it takes real strength to overcome it. Kyle found hope through his faith in God and through the love from the people in his life. When it comes down to it, those are the things that can keep you going, no matter what life throws your way. So the best way you can support our message, is be somebody's hope, help them through whatever they are going through, just like Kyle did. Thank you. Much love & God bless, The Kyle Cooke Foundation.
