Positive Prattle From The Desk Of The Editor

This month I am pleased to be able to announce that pdf e-zine copies of Good Gabble are now available to all for FREE. This would not have been possible without the kind generosity of our sponsor’s, those who have made one off donations online and those who support us through advertising. It is to these people I say thank you!. It has been a long term dream of all at Good Gabble to be able to provide a place each month that is full of positivity yet accessible to all, regardless of financial situation. Our goal of spreading love and enlightenment and achieving a world where positivity is the norm and negativity is long forgotten is one step closer. Our next dream - to provide hard copies to all free, including distribution to all waiting rooms and offices Australia wide. Please help us by spreading the word on our publication, our affordable yet effective advertising and sponsorship packages. Donations can be also be made online. With continued support we know our dream is possible.

With the announcement, in mid May, of Good Gabble being free we have seen a huge increase in the amount of pdf copies going out. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all our new readers. We have seen a dramatic increase in the amount of copies reaching the overseas market and would like to extend a warm
welcome to the new countries who have come on board - South Africa, Maldives, New Zealand and Norway. To our new found friends in the USA a warm G’day! We look forward to feedback from all and hearing positive stories from abroad. Good Gabble is a newzine for the community. We can never receive too many stories or submissions so please do not be shy. Lets join together and show unity of nations for the cause of good.

So what will you find in June’s issue?

This month we continue our support of Deborah De Williams and her goal of raising money for the National Breast Cancer Council. On page 6 we bring a message from Deborah. Also on page 6 we continue our support of Andrew Cadigan, Oz on foot, who is walking his way around Australia raising money for Cancer
Council. Two amazing people who are putting aside luxuries in their own lives to spread love and good will to others.

Carlos Devillalvilla, our American Correspondent, talks of a not so positive topic but one that has touched all worldwide, that of the killing of Osama Bin Laden. We have chosen to cover Carlos’s article to provide thought and closure for our readers and to give our non American reader’s an American perspective. We welcome your thoughts on this topic and will willing share them in our from the community page. Read what Carlos has to say on page 19. Each month Carlos also shares his movie reviews which can be seen on page 30 this month.

On Wednesday 8th June one of our regular contributor’s Ron Prasad releases his book Welcome To Your Life. On page 23 we bring you a summary of his book and urge all to visit his website www.welcometoyourlife.com to find out more.

A story that really touched my heart this month is ‘The True Spirits Of Paying It Forward’ on page 25. This tells of a homeless man, Curtis Jackson, who pays it forward to a good samaritan who had been helping him each day for years and then finds herself in a similar situation to his own. This story brought tears to my eyes and shows the true spirit of human kindness and good will. Still with nothing of his own Curtis chooses to give the little he gets to help a fellow friend.

We hope you enjoy this issue as much as we have enjoyed compiling it. Until next month:

Live Well.......Love much...........Laugh Often....................
