“The magic in new beginnings is truly the most powerful of them all.”
Josiyah Martin

In January it's traditional to make New Year's resolutions. You plan to go to the gym, get into great physical shape, earn more money, improve a troubled relationship, or get along better with your family members.

But you suspect that in a few days or weeks you'll get tired of making the effort and your good intentions will disappear. Maybe you worry about how much effort and work is involved, or you think it isn't possible to have these things. Just like last year, you'll slip back into your old patterns. Would you like to improve your chances of making your resolutions stick?

Teaching children about online safety encourages them to make good choices, according to North Texas Daily. This is reassuring news for the 76% of parents who worry about their child’s safety when using the internet. While education is crucial, it’s important not to forget about empowerment. When the two are done together, kids will be as safe as possible when browsing the net.

Do you ever find yourself in the same emotional landscape over and over again? Okay, sure, the scenery and faces around you might be different, but the way you feel — a tangible sense of dissatisfaction — seems all too familiar. Could it be Deja vu? Karma? A result of your childhood?

How can we live up to our true potential, a life filled with relationships and experiences that truly meet our needs, when we keep putting our focus on the outside rather than looking inward? Isn’t it true, that the only common denominator in your experiences is you?

I’m a big believer in the idea that we’re all a work in progress. I also believe our family — whatever shape it comes in — can be an exceptional source of inspiration and support in our continued self-improvement. The beginning of a new year offers the opportunity to reflect and set goals for self-improvement. Resolutions can be a great motivator......

Safety nets, safety pins, gun safeties, safe houses, safe sex and Safeway. Safeguards are everywhere. You’d think humans had a lock on safety!

But safety is never guaranteed, is it? Somewhere, there’s always a piano falling to the sidewalk from some fourth story window. Volcanos or typhoons are ready to steal your thunder and rain on your parade. There’s a meteorite with Earth’s number on it, a black hole waiting to gobble the Milky Way.

Do you have Emotional Safety and Expression in your relationship? Imagine greater intimacy with your partner and ask them this question: “Tell me what you are most afraid to say?” Check in for a second: how do you feel? Could you be feeling scared, terrified or sad, lonely, disheartened, or maybe another emotion by asking this question? What if you could safely communicate and be able to respond, no matter what they said or did?

We have all been in situations where there were terrible misunderstandings. Either we have felt misunderstood or the other has. We often leave these situations mystified as to what had happened. How were we so misunderstood? What did I do wrong? Or: Why were they so stubborn? Couldn't they understand what I was trying to say?

This short tutorial highlights the main ways humans get into trouble trying to communicate, and describes effective new ways to communicate which avoids these pitfalls and brings people into a close understanding of one another.

“And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been.”

Rainer Maria Rilke

Cartoons by Sven Hartenstein

Conceived by Meiji Stewart. Illustrated by David Blaisdell.

South Africa and the world is mourning the passing of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, who died on 26 December, aged 90.

Aside from being a member of the clergy, Tutu was a key figure during the anti-apartheid movement, an advocate for human rights and a "voice of reason and compassion against poverty, racism, xenophobia and corruption, and for human development".
 

"A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished when others are tortured or oppressed, or treated as if they were less than who they are."

"When we see others as the enemy, we risk becoming what we hate. When we oppress others, we end up oppressing ourselves. All of our humanity is dependent upon recognising the humanity in others."

"It is through weakness and vulnerability that most of us learn empathy and compassion and discover our soul."

"When the missionaries came to Africa, they had the Bible and we had the land. They said, 'Let us pray.' We closed our eyes. When we opened them, we had the Bible, and they had the land."

· ' Good sense does not always lie with the loudest shouters, nor can we say that a large, unruly crowd is always the best arbiter of what is right."

"We may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low."

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality."

CNVC is committed to the vision of a critical mass of the world's population using Nonviolent Communication (NVC) to resolve differences peacefully. A strong community of qualified trainers will play an important role in the realization of this goal.

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”

C.S. Lewis

Setting Goals for the New Year
What do you want to focus on this year? What are your goals, hopes, and dreams? It’s important to make your goals concrete and specific. Don’t just say that you want to be happier; consider how you would like your life to be different. What if your goal is to support world peace by living your own life more peacefully? Consider the specific ways you will do this....
