  Big ears are meant for listening

  There was something that came to me recently. People like to tell me their problems. And what makes this an even better recipe is that I don’t mind listening. Previous experiences have taught me that the key to any relationship (friends, family and/or lovers) is that you need to listen with your heart rather than your ears. When we hear things, we don’t really take into consideration body language or eye contact or facial expressions. We hear the words and sometimes brush it off as a non-event. The times where we actually put ourselves into someone else life and empathise with every aspect, we soon start to realise that problems that may seem trivial to us are quite the opposite when you are the one involved.

  So this post wasn’t really about telling everyone to go and get their ears checked. It was more to open our eyes, ears and hearts to the people around us. Too often do we see the consequences – relationships ending, family members becoming estranged and the friends who unfriend one another. All we are saying is to put a little more effort into something which should come natural to us – and that is to care for those worth caring for. Give a little of your time to listen. Don’t be the person that is always too busy to do anything. The most precious thing in this universe is time because when it passes it doesn’t come back. You all knew this but it is good to be reminded. So why don’t you share the most precious treasure and give a little of your time to others.

  Something worth thinking about. Take care.

  Be Free! Stinky goes to Asia

  Happy new year to all! We apologise for not wishing you one earlier. We felt that our post from last week was important, so we did not want to cloud it with any other messages. But that deed has been done and now we can focus on the brighter side of things.

  We went through some of the photos we had of Stinky in his travels and noticed a lovely picture of Stinky next to a picture of a little girl. But it wasn’t until recently that we noticed that there was text in the picture that read ‘Be Free’. So we thought whether there was any better advice you could give, other than to free yourself? Being free could apply to so many things and it is not until we learn to truly be free, that we are able to find the haven of happiness. So what are we so caught up in that we need to be reminded of something so simple? Financial stress, bad habits that are hard to shake, free from being forced to work, emotions and a world where love no longer rules supreme? I’m sure the list could go on forever.

  Having said all this, we think that true freedom is when your heart and mind act as one. So set yourself a goal, to put your hearts wishes into action. Whether it is mustering up the courage to the tell girl of the dreams that you love her, to sponsoring a child – go ahead and do it.

  Since we are on the topic of following your heart, Stinky is finally going to Asia. First stop Singapore. It is quite amazing that Stinky has probably travelled to more places than we have! We look forward to sharing more of his adventures in Asia when he returns. But we are more than excited to see what he will get up to. If you live abroad, and would like to help Stinky in his travels, send us an email at info@stinkythepig.com and we can try and organise something.

  Until next we meet, it is Bon Voyage for now.
