Hi Louise, I have been missing for a week and honestly only getting a chance to re- connect with you today. This is the first time I have listened to the audio and it adds another dimension to it for sure. Your pace is lovely and you have a lovely timbre to your voice, soothing and re assuring, its a great blessing - I went for a tiny walk, about 5 mins as I am laid up with bad back pain today and yesterday so I listened to most of it standing up in the living room, (as sitting down for long hurts a lot) Thanks for your lovely words, which help mitigate not just the mental and emotional pains we may experience but the raw physical ones as well, as in my case today. Take good care Louise and much love to you today. Hugs, Martina.

Thank you for your beautiful post. I read it this morning and then opened my five minute journal and todays quote was the “ Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” Great quote to start the week.

Wow, so much extra goodness in the audio! ♥️

Yes to letting it out. I’ve always been a bottler, keeping it all inside. One of my goals is to let it out; I’ve been working on it, and you are so right that letting it out frees up space to hear the encouragement and wisdom of friends and loved ones.

Grateful for you, Lou. Have a great week! Xx

I was thinking of a favorite saying while listening as you explained the Italian lyric "Your love is fate." "Your fate awaits. Whether you hurry or whether you wait, it is all the same to fate." This last stanza from my latest poem "Life is a Book" touches on love, faith and spirituality.

Hope is a candle,

Faith lights up the fire.

God is an idea,

Love brings to inspire.
