WISDOM 

I was having a clear out yesterday and found my daughters blessing/naming certificate.

All over the world in most traditions us humans have some kind of ceremony regarding the birth or naming of our children.

I looked at this 'certificate' and read the words written on the paper and this is what I read.

LET US NOT stamp our minds upon the young, but stir up their own;

That they may look inquiringly and steady with their own eyes;

That they may have a fervent love of truth,

Prepared for impartial conscientious judgement of whatever subjects may be offered to their decision.

LET US NOT impose religion upon them,but Awaken the conscious, the moral  discernment.

FOR THIS IS The great end of religion: 

To awaken the soul; to bring understanding, Conscience, and heart into earnest, vigorous action

To excite and cherish spiritual life.

LOVE U MY BRATS , MOM 

When we have moments in life that we stumble HOLD onto this.

Much love ❤️❤️❤️

TRUTH

The battle of TRUTH versus EGO

Sometimes the TRUTH is tough to face, truth doesn't ever back down because it doesn't know how to, it is TRUTH after all.

All of us had to at one time or another face the truth about a situation.

It wakes you up in the darkest hour of the night, random times in the day, it is there with you forcing you to face it deal with it.

Then there is EGO fickle, always wanting to be right, making excuses for the situation, giving you 'but's' and maybes, and false hope about truth but never reality.

We cling onto ego's reasons for as long as we can.

TRUTH doesn't do that, truth  is solid, real and stern and never goes away.

That is until you accept it, embrace it and realise it is not the enemy.

Truth is a gift and once we stop avoiding truth and have the courage to face it, we see that truth is kind and real and showing you another path.

Moral of this story: TRUTH is liquid steel that flows through us, giving us the strength and courage to deal with anything, so follow your truth and not your ego

Much love ❤️❤️❤️

SENSUS

It is a grey rainy day here in England and  has been for a few days now. Grey rainy days can be awesome, but they can also make you forget that the sun is shining somewhere else, so looking for inspiration this happy little word found me.

SENSUS 

From the Urban dictionary and I quote 'originally from the word~ SENSOUS~ but adapted to the Spanish speaking world. 

SENSUS refers to something that is simply AWESOME!. When all the STARS are aligned and the universe conspires in your favour -you had a SENSUS moment !!!!!!

LOVE this word , so this is my MANTRA today 

Enjoy and keep your mind on the Mantra  and the Mantra on your mind.

Have a SENSUS day ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

SILENCE 

Does silence truly exist? 

SYNONYMS:   Quietude, stillness, tranquility, peacefulness. The absence of sound.

Do you ever feel so inundated  with sound, that you wish you could just switch off, if it's not the television or radio, the media, telling you what to buy, what to plan for your life, what's happening in the world, what's on trend, what the weather is doing etc. ...

Or people talking about each other mostly, she said this , he did that.

And then there is social media and I suppose even me writing about it, is talking. Facebook, Twitter , they inform, they inspire, and yes I know you READ it, and I don't know about you but  even when I read it's my voice talking in my head , so truly what  is silence? 

SILENCE is an illusion and my version of silence is listening to nature , the wind , rain and feeling the sun on my skin. 

The most exquisite silence however is gently touching the skin of someone you love unconditionally, the focused  intent when no words are needed, when a touch is enough 

ENJOY all your versions of SILENCE ❤️❤️❤️❤️

SATORI 

Satori meaning: The experience of comprehension, understanding, seeing into one's true nature, enlightenment.

An intuitive experience.

The feeling of Satori is that of infinite space.

Satori is your uncovering of you a direct and real illumination that cannot be described ONLY EXPERIENCED.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

BITTERSWEET 

I started thinking about this word after watching the movie "saving Mr Banks" a story loosely based on the writer of Mary Poppins, P.L Travers and her childhood.

We all have "bittersweet" memories about our childhood and in general about our lives.

For some reason though we tend to hold onto the bitter and forget the sweet.

So I have a sweet Liitle story I want to share with you.

I had 4 woman in my life.

My birth mother, my adoptive mother, my nan and my step-mom all amazing woman.

This story is about my adoptive mom.

I vaguely remember a tall stylish woman very much in love with her husband, having fun, having friends around dancing and laughing,

 then something changed and as a little girl I didn't really understand what was happening but the laughter got less and instead of party's people came around to pray around her bed, I remember words like 'lumber punch' and numerous hospital appointments even a "faith healing" outing but that is a crazy story for another day!

My nan moved in to look after us as she got more ill.

She had MS, and eventually couldn't do much for herself, but the memory that sticks in my mind the most about that time is this......

Every  Friday my Dad came home from work at 

lunchtime, washed and dressed his wife, carried her to the car,  drove her to the hairstylist for her to have her hair washed and styled knowing how happy this made her, giving her back a bit of her old life.

So like the Mary Poppins song 'a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down'

Make yourself a daisy chain of sweet memories to cherish and dissolve the bitter. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
