Hope, is born in the palm of your hands.

You don’t have to be religious or subscribe to any spiritual doctrine to reap the benefits of prayer.

Both science and religion agree that prayer works and can have positive benefits on both our mental and physical wellbeing.

When dark clouds move in over your life; pray to your angles, your guides, the universe, the sun, your favourite sports team, your idol, your inner goddess, your god or whoever you pray to and ask for answers.

Even if what you’re asking for seems out of reach, ask.

We find comfort and understanding when we sit quietly away from the chaos of the world with our palms together, our eyes closed and release our worries, talk to whom ever listens and ask for guidance, this is where hope is born.

Whether you call it pray, meditation, introspection, or pondering; taking time to stop, clear your mind and bring focus to resolving life’s challenges is good therapy and allows us to see things more clearly and deeply.

It’s when we are in state of prayer or meditation that the answers we seek often arrive.

Prayer may not deliver everything we’ve asked for, but, it does offer stillness and hope.

So, ladies and gentlemen, get quiet, and put your hands together for …..“YOU.”

Life is messy,

Our journey to figure out who we are is messy.

Paint dripping on to a canvas…run-on sentences and misspelt words …..stacks of bricks and mortar….cake batter dripping off the end of a beater…a seedling stuck in the dirt…all these things are messy; until they’re worked, shaped, built, baked or grow into what they’re meant to be, e.g; a masterpiece, a best selling novel, a home, a cake, a rose.

Being human is supposed to be messy.

We don’t stop painting, writing, building, baking or planting because it’s messy, we keep going and growing until we get to where we’re meant to be.

My messy life has been my path. And although I haven’t always understood why certain things happened or where I was heading, my path has lead me to extraordinary people, colourful adventures and insightful self discovery. Our messy, unpredictable, multicoloured adventures are THE PATH and THE PATH IS your life

So hang in there, things are going to get messy, and messy ain’t bad.
