Life rarely goes smoothly, or exactly as we plan it, does it?!

Our emotions take us on a roller coaster: we make mistakes and hurt ourselves and others; we experience shame, darkness and despair till we wish that the earth would swallow us up; we know the overwhelming grief of losing a loved one, where only time can heal that pain.

We think we know where we are headed and set off on our chosen path only to find doors slammed in our face…!

But there is a stillness beneath the waves of emotion.  There is a silence beyond the chatter and noise of the mind.  Remember that pain has a way of sifting out what no longer serves us, showing us if it’s time to let go of the old and find the new. If we didn’t make mistakes, we wouldn’t grow in love and wisdom.

Stop. Breathe. Listen.

Our Soul made a contract before we came here. We are here for a purpose. There is something unique to us and our set of gifts that we are here to give.  In connecting with our soul’s purpose, we honour the divine essence within; we begin to learn how to love ourselves.

Even in your darkest hour, may you find hope and courage. Know that you are not alone. The love, guidance and support that you need is at hand. Send your prayer out to the universe – then make sure you listen for the answer!
