Safe and well but faced with a big decision..
I am painfully aware that it has been many days since there has been any sight of me or a blog, which I am sure has worried some of you. So much stuff has happened and I've had to make big decisions, so it has been a really tough week. But I am in really good spirits and health, I am just learning on the job and facing each big test as it comes. This week has been a huge one.
I can't say right at this minute what I am doing and what the way forward is, I have a really big decision to make in the next day or so. I have written a blog detailing all of what has happened in the last week, and I will post it as it is as it is an honest account of events - now is just not the right moment. I need time to think and then I'll let you all know.
All I can say is that the decision I make will be the one I believe will be of the best service to humanity in my very humble opinion. Whichever one I make may well be wrong, I do not claim to have all the answers.
I hope you all can bear with me, I'll keep you posted as soon as I can.
Your comments over the last few weeks have kept me strong and I am so inspired by the amount of random acts of kindness being posted on my last blog, you are all truly amazing.
I love you all lots for being a part of this, and if you have the opportunity to help anybody in even the smallest way during any part of the day, please accept that chance as a gift - unconditional helping is the most powerful act in the world.
I hope I make the right decision. I will spend the rest of the day looking for guidance.

hey ozzie,
good to hear from u and u’re still going strong albeit with a heavy decision to take, i´m sure your decision is tough but when u think about the decisions facing the most impoverished people living in the most depraved conditions whose decisions are really life or death, maybe u will find the answer a little easier...one of many decisions u have had to take before and will again...so whatever u decide i think will be the right choice.....hope to see u along the road in the next few months...i´ll be going the same way soon...
lots of love

I discovered your site yesterday and it was a great day. So today i printed out some of your posters and put them up in friendly shops and cafes in Stoke Newington, London where i live. I have also offered to give free yoga classes (as i teach for a living) to local community members.
Next week i may print out some leaflets and hand them out on the street and talk to people about them as I go.
The key thing is that what has been started here, this movement will grow. It has legs of its own, its own momentum. But we can all play our part, however small in doing this by telling people about it. By doing so you are leaving yourself open to potential abuse by people that do not understand what this movement is trying to achieve and why. That is when you can be brave by maintaining purpose in the face of adversity. Bravery is the opposite of fear. As is love and kindness and goodness.
I for one am enjoying bravery and not being afraid.
cheers and keep smiling. then nothing can hurt you

Thanks so much for reminding us to make acts of kindness.
The focus of my life has changed since finding this site and realising that I don’t have to have money to do the things I love and to have what I want in my life.
Sharing myself is much more empowering than giving money as it means connecting personally with people and I will always have myself to share so no need to feel insecure. Knowing that there are other people in the world who are finding a different way to live life supports me in doing what I feel is right for me and the world.
In creating this site you have already done a huge thing -please be aware of that.
Your desire to do what is best for humanity is obviously of paramount and genuine importance to you but remember that the good of humanity does not rest solely on your shoulders. Whatever you decide you and others can learn from.
I have no idea what your decision is about but I send love and gratitude whatever you decide to do.

It won’t matter what decision you make as you have already achieved your goal. This movement is moving and your commitment has helped galvanise it into action.
I have just this moment been recommended your site and have to tell you that there are quite a few of us in my small town of exactly the same opinion as your good self. We have already made a start on our freeconomy and your website and posters will help facilitate it. Thank you.
Thank you for your courage and leadership.

You are giving all of us the flame with which together we light the fire for other people to warm themselves and sit around connecting with each other as well!!
HOw I see it Journeys are unpredictable , no one is to tell what is wrong or right, too short or to long etc etc It is only you who can make the decisions as it is for others to decide if they want to ’walk’ along with you! Many of us do and also do our walking as well.
take good care of you

LMFAO!!! Walk to India? Get as far as France, encounter ’language problems’ (surprise surprise) and then... give up??? What a phoney! What would Gandhi do? LHFAO no doubt! Give it up mate - you are a busted flush and yesterday’s news.
