All posts by George Walters

George Walters is a Canadian columnist and author with more than forty years of writing experience. For over twenty years he has written a weekly column for Postmedia Network — Canada's largest newspaper chain — never missing a single week, publishing fifty-two stories a year. Combined with his work in Reader's Digest Community Voices, World News, Country Living, The Country Register, and farm and rural lifestyle magazines across Canada, he has published well over two thousand stories drawn from everyday life. He writes about farm work, fishing, old trucks, and the kind of people you only find in small towns — but just as likely he'll hand a voice to a weathered telephone pole, or turn his eye on something happening in the world today and tell you exactly what he thinks about it. No subject is off limits. If there's a story in it, George will find it. He has been called a philosopher of everyday life, a description that came up more than once during his television appearances over the years — and it's not hard to see why. His writing has a way of making the ordinary feel worth sitting with. He is the author of eleven books, including yearly short story collections and the Clay Moretti Files mystery series. Clay is a fifty-year-old private investigator who drives a 1967 Ford Galaxie, smokes cigars, and operates by a code the modern world gave up on a long time ago. The cases are present day. The man handling them is not. All titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon. Together, George and his wife Ruth have also created Elmer Finds His Way, the first in what he hopes will be a long series of children's books. Ruth did all the illustrations, as she has for every one of George's books — and beyond that she designed and painted the covers as well. Her work is woven into every page of everything he has published. A few words from readers: "I pulled up a kitchen chair and read your story three times." "You have a way of making a person homesick for a place they haven't been to." "Thank you for writing things that make old people and kids feel the same way at the same time." All my titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon.ca here.

From My Friend Grey Wolf

Many years ago I remember Grey Wolf saying to me.   George, when all seems lost, become your enemy.  Never were words so well chosen that can take a man, woman or child out of a state of despair, letting them rise above all those that think that they are right  and you are wrong.

Being Native

“Being A North American  Indian is mainly in your heart. It’s a way of walking with the earth instead of upon it. A lot of the history books talk about us Indians in the past tense, but we don’t plan on going anywhere… We have lost so much, but the thing that holds us together is that we all belong to and are protectors of the earth; that’s the reason for us being here. Mother Earth is not a resource, she is an heirloom.”

Wisdom

Children are the seeds of our future. Plant love in their hearts and water them with wisdom and life’s lessons. When they are grown, give them space to grow.

Natural Remedies Are Slowly Being Banned Without Your Knowing

Live in Europe? Get your herbs while they last. New rules put forth by the European Union (EU) will ban the sale of certain herbal remedies that have been used for centuries.

Sign of the times folks and if we keep on letting these folks get away with telling us what we can and can not do we will all be paying for it dearly in the coming years. Should say we are paying for it now as one just has to look at how many folks are getting sick these days.  I can’t understand why these folks in the UK are allowing this to happen.  Natural treatments in my eyes are what we all should be looking into and bringing into practice in our ever day lives.  If we keep carrying on the way we are going, well lets just say the outcome isn’t good.  So folks stand up for what you believe in, or should say listen to you body, it knows what is wrong and if you help it and treat it properly with the right things it will give you many happy days into the future.  Is it do late now?  Well I hope,  not as I myself have come down with what they call, a fatal disease if they don’t treat it, say that again, if they don’t treat it,  brought on by nothing more that the environment we have been living in for the past fifty some years.  Also one has to just look around at others in how they are doing after being treated by the means of today.  The treatments they are using in my eyes are flawed.  I believe though that I can remedy my problem by treating it naturally. I will continue on doing so as I have more faith in myself than most of the modern medicine of today.  With source working along with my body I have great expectations.  Thing I have to overcome is what lies in the middle, being my mind, as ones mind is what stands in the way of a healthy body, along with a great number of other things..  Ones mind is what causes all of our problems today, as it is easily swayed into doing what it shouldn’t be doing.   But with sources help the mind can be fixed, and once done the body then will thrive and those that try and control you will become non-existent any longer.  You will be able to get up each and every morning enjoying each day, as you choose to enjoy it, free from all others beliefs, only yours, leading you in the direction of your choosing. Can’t beat that huh?  Oh and one last thing.  For those have never used  the good old home remedies, remember this.  Always and I mean always do the research on all herbal medicine before using, as there is folks out there today selling things that can harm you.          My opinion only.
