To my daughter, I will offer three
ideas for a contented and blessed
life:
1)
Don’t make assumptions. Remember, we
don’t see the world as it is, we see it as we
are. Always communicate honestly and openly.
Be curious. If you don’t understand something,
ask questions. We truly connect with another
when we listen to their story rather than
assuming we know what it is.
2) Believe in yourself and something much
greater than yourself, and remember this life
we live is all an illusion. My father’s motto was:
always believe in yourself. This has stood me
in good stead, but I would also add: believe in
something much greater than yourself, whether
it is a Universal Creator, the Divine Mother, or
the wisdom of Mother Earth. No matter what
happens on your life’s journey, this is all an
illusion.We are walking in a dream. Connecting
with our self, physically, emotionally, mentally
and spiritually, is fundamental to healthy living.
Connecting with something Greater keeps us
in touch with our true spiritual home.
3)
Touch Nature every day. Never be too
busy or concerned with the small things that
you forget to touch the Source. Whether it’s
barefoot on the beach, your face against the
bark of a tree, the rain on your skin, taking a
moment to honour a glorious sunrise, watching
clouds make pictures across a fragile blue sky,
listening to birdsong at dawn or the sound of
crickets in the early evening, make it a priority
to become one with Mother Nature. She’ll
always restore you, and never let you down.
Connect with her.
