Make a change

I recently had the pleasure of being invited to join the 120 year birthday party from the historical Henrichenburg ship lift in West Germany it was built in 1899 under Kaiser Wilhelm ll, this construction is a true testament to advanced technology for that time.The gigantic ship lift moved quickly and efficiently 14 meters up and down between the two levels of the canal. As a result goods like coal, ore and building materials could then be directly transported along the canal to the harbors on the North Sea. This technology required an incredible balancing feat a similar parallel to life’s challenges; shifting, lifting, redirecting, loading and unloading while at the same time maintaining balance.Stepping out of our comfort zone exploring the unknown helps some of us make a better assessment of our own lives and discover other processes like beliefs, cultures, religions, and history, some we may want to incorporate into our own lives, variety is the spice of life. Furthermore while I was at the party I tried a dish called flammkuchen it consist of ingredients very similar to American pizza, you select the toppings of your choice and the cook adds them to a thinner crust and a cream sauce. My toppings were mushroom, union and bacon. I felt like I was in a time machine and enjoyed the complete experience. Check out the short video below. Balance Due~ Makes a happy you.

Tyrone is gone too soon

This is a song about a man who had a gambling addiction. The situation got so bad he emerged himself in drugs to try and dull the pain and his problems spiraled even further out of control. Maybe if he wasn’t so ashamed of his transgressions he would have asked for help and rectified the situation. Never be to proud or embarrassed to seek help nobody comes perfectly packaged. We live, we learn, we love, we laugh. We weren’t designed to function all by ourselves we need each other for support. It says in the Bible 1 John 3:17 but if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need yet closes his heart against him how does god’s love abide in him.
